TN Beautiful Girls pageant

For warning...sorry the pictures are blurry. I didn't bring a camera so these are taken with my phone.

Saturday was the TN Beautiful Girls pageant and the TN Beautiful Divas pageant. I decided to put Addison in both of them because there was a discount if you did both and one was a semi-glitz so I figured it would be fun. I was wrong. LOL Nah, it wasn't bad but they were a little unorganized so it literally lasted all day long and Addison got so tired of cranky that she didn't do as well as she usually does. I was getting tired and cranky so I didn't get too upset about it. She actually winked at the judges on her last time on stage and everyone thought it was cute. I was so proud of her tho, she was such a trooper. She made some new friends and actually wanted to walk out on stage by herself but she's not allowed to yet so she kinda got upset about that. LOL In the Beautiful Girls pageant she won "Rising Star" and in the Beautiful Divas pageant she won "Rising Star" and "Prettiest Smile." Let's just say that the Beautiful Divas pageant was...WAY out of our league and I was not prepared. I refuse to put make-up on Addison and all these girls had full glitz dresses on. I was told it was semi-glitz but that was totally not what these girls were wearing. But I loved it because none of these girls acted anything like you see on Toddler and Tiaras. Two girls in general played with Addison and even offered to walk out on stage with her (which if the judges would have let them, I so would have let them!) And she also got to see Zoe again. I got asked if I thought Addison was getting too big for these pageants and then I see how she is reacting with other little girls and I say DEFINATELY NOT! She's loving this. She gets to play with other little girls, she loves dressing up, and I'm meeting all kinds of nice moms as well. Just so you know, I'm going to continue to put Addison in these pageants until she either tells me she's done or we start softball. :) She's not afraid to get in front of a crowd and smile and she's meeting new friends so I don't see a reason to take her out of them yet. Anyways here's the pictures. :)
I love this picture. Thanks for taking it Stephanie. :)

At home trying her semi-glitz dress on before we left.

Twirling in her party dress from Karen.

Posing with Tia.

Addison and her friend Zoe. (One of my friend's daughters. She has cerebral palsy and is the cutest thing! And very sweet too!)

Tia took Addison out on stage so I could try to make her twirl. Didn't happen.

Addison's Halloween costume. We had to give her distractions to keep the hat on. LOL

She kinda looks drunk. I hate my phone sometimes.

Miss Zoe :)

Me and Addison

This was how most of our day went. LOL. The 2nd time out of stage she actually had that cookie in her hand.

Yes, she's coloring with her left hand.

She got bored. We were there from 10am - 5pm.

One of her tiara's :)

Miss Zoe and Stephanie getting her prizes.

Addison playing with her new friend. Totally forgot her name. :(

This little girl was awesome. She knew we were using her as Addison's distraction. She told her mommy that she had to help keep Addison busy. LOL

I love this face! (She was laughing BTW.)

All dressed up!

Keeping her occupied till it was her turn on stage. I need this little girl every weekend!

Addison and her new friends. :)

She said "see what I won!" LOL

More distractions. :)

Then she totally crashed and slept right thru lunch/supper afterwards. I could have joined her.

Aunt Sandy, Jessica, mom, Tia, and Amanda all came out to see Addison. Of course it wasn't her best attitude but oh man was it the longest pageant we've been too. She got all kinds of good prizes and can't wait till the next one!
