American Coed Nationals two weeks away

Wow, can't belive that American Coed Nationals is only two weeks away.

Sheridan is getting excited. She has to get her game on!!
She is doing actress, speech, modeling, photogenic, and talent as well as the queens competition.

We ordered really cool hoodies, they should be great, go team IL
We ordered really cool buttons too.
Tomorrow Sheridan has practice with Ms. IL Coed, our friend Tamara for her talent and yesterday we went and had her gown resized, she grew since June and we had a new dress made, baby doll style for her talent, so exciting.

I happened to pick up a few of her other dresses from the seamstress too and she will wear the gown we had cut down b/c it didn't fit her anymore, and it is soooo cute!!!

political commentary or a joke? hmmm

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude. She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be an Obama DEMOCRAT."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me." The man smiled and responded, "You must be a REPUBLICAN." "I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?" "Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

Apple Fest Long grove 2010

Had a great time today at Apple Fest in Long Grove, IL, 2010. It was definitely chilly. Thanks to Sam H. for making the best outfit, the baby doll jacket with apple accents. Was so perfect for this weather.

This was one of Elizabeth Jones' pageants, all natural and very fun. there were the most kids in the 2-3 range at 11, then the 4-6 range had about 5 and the 7-9 had about 4 and then the 10-12 had 4 and then older there were 2.

Sheridan is friends with two girls she was competing with, meg and Frances. They are grea girls. they all looked so cute and had a great time.

We also got to see our friend Orianna, age 5, who was amazing as always!!! She won Grand Supreme, great job Orianna. Her and Sheridan are really just best buds and so cute. Sheridan won the division crown. She was very excited.


Overall they all win crowns and get goody bags and they have a very fun time.

Nice job to all!!

Pageant this past weekend Simply Stunning and RBI

Cassandra and Sheridan modeling in Swimwear

This past weekend Sheridan competed in this natural pageant called Simply Stunning. The woman running the program orginally wasnt going to have enough people so on FB we announced it and many of our friends joined in as well. There ended up being about 28 people in Simply Stunning the natural pageant and then the Rhinestone Beauties pageant - glitz also took place after SS and had 9 girls compete, all had been in SS.

Sheridan did a great job modeling her gown and her swimsuit. Here scores were amazing but the photos I submitted fell short. Need to submit different ones next time. That being said she still was one of the top girls. She got the beauty supreme title for girls 5 and over. so her bathing suit and gown scores were excellent which kept her on top. She had one perfect score in gown and two were one short of perfect. Not bad.


Sheridan and Orianna. Orianna and Sheridan have become great buds, so cute.

The sad part was this was a new pageant here in IL and the shipment of crowns was either lost or stolen, some sashes were in the box too. Therefore the girls were kind of let down. Denise Page, the director said she would be sending an email to everyone to confirm who did not get their sash and also send the crowns out after ordering a new batch. if she made any money it will be lost now. the problem is until you get that crown in hand you dont know if you really will. if we get it, we will confirm at a later date. it was a pretty crown too, we saw pictures.
sheridan had fun with all her friends. Cassidy did great and so did Brianna, Bridgette and Marissa as well as Orianna, Peyton, Sydney and of course our friend Cassandra who is also going to Coed nationals with us and excites us much!!
