Paint Polish Please
So in all efforts to get my girl ready for the Watermelon parade, I knew there had to be a stop at the paint polish place. I asked my niece, Harley, if she wanted to come and she was all about it! So last Friday, I took Maddie and Harley to get there nails all ready for the BIG parade and festival. Naturally since it was a Watermelon Festival and they are the Watermelon Queens, they decided on getting RED paint polish.
This was a first for Maddie to let them paint her fingernails, normally I do that at home because they do thick coats and she really will NOT keep her hands still long enough for them to dry good.

Suprise!!
Now don't be judging my toe nail polish or the chubbiness of my feet! HA! These flip flops are so comfortable and I LOVE them! So I'm sending out a BIG THANK YOU to Anita & little Mikaya for helping my feet stay comfortable and in style in this heat!

Happy Birthday to Aunt Re!!
PS Be glad that you were reading this instead of hearing me sing it! HA!
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!
Josh, you are a wonderful husband and a awesome daddy! Maddie and I love you very much and want you to know that we are very thankful to have you in our lives. I could not have asked for a better daddy for our baby girl! Everytime I see you and Maddie laughing and playing together it makes me smile! Thank you for being so great, we had lots of fun today!
Daddy, you are also a awesome daddy and a excellent PaPa! You have always put all of us before yourself no matter what the situation. You are a very caring, giving person that seems to make whatever is thrown your way work. I have seen you give to others and end up with less yourself but you never minded. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful, hard working daddy in my life and I hope you know how much Josh, Maddie and I appreciate you! We love you!!
PawPaw, we hope you had a great Fathers Day! We love and appreciate you very much and we are thankful to have you in our lives! Thank you for raising Josh the way you did, because he has made a excellent Father too!
I hope every daddy out there had a wonderful day! Anyone can be a father but it takes a real man to be a Daddy!!!

And the 2009 Toddler Miss Watermelon is.....
Now onto the best part, I know you are probably wondering why I haven't mentioned where she placed, but thats coming...PROMISE! First I'd like share a few pictures after all pictures are what makes a blog, right??
Here she is waiting for her division to be called on stage! She's growing so FAST! :(
I have to be honest and admit that I started to have my doubts about her dress, but once it was on her I knew it was PERFECT for her!!
A BIG THANK YOU goes to Jennifer G. for curling Maddie's hair! It was PERFECT and I really appreciate her taking her Saturday to do that for us. It took her around 3 1/2 hours to curl it all. Some of the mothers of other girls in Maddie's division thought she had a hairpiece (aka wig to me anyways) and that kinda bothered me b/c I would NEVER put something like that on my baby at her age. Needless to say I gladly lifted her hair and kinda tugged on it (sorry Maddie!!) to show them it was very real and attached to her beautiful little head! Now moving on....
Here she is on stage, she enjoyed it for sure! She waved at our family and blew kisses!
We were all lined up on the stage and they annouced "The Toddler Miss Sponsorship Queen is........ contestant #6, Madison Peel!!" Yay, She won Sponsorship Queen in her division!!!
She also ended up winning the Overall Sponsorship Queen but I didn't get a picture of that crowning. Later that night Maddie asked me why they kept putting those ribbons on her. She was referring to the sashes which she didn't particulary care for. She was much more interested in the crowns and trophies! Here she is with her BIG crown for Overall Sponsorship!
Here are all the things she won that day! We are proud of our little girl, of course we would have been proud of her even if she didn't win anything too. All the little one's were beautiful that day.
Maddie was not the only little beauty queen in the family that was crowned on Saturday. Our neices, Harley and Abbey both were also in the Watermelon Pageant. Harley (5 years) was crowned Tiny Tot Miss Watermelon and Sponsorship Queen in her division and Abbey (8 months) was 1st runner up and Photogenic Queen in the Sugar Baby division!!
