And the winner is...

The winner is Sadi!! I entered Sadi in a baby pageant here locally that was held at the Governor's Mansion on Friday night. I always wanted to do it with Kelsey when she was a baby but never did. My intention was just to try it out, I thought it would be a lot of fun, turns out WINNING is REALLY fun! She looked so cute. Here is a recap of the night, again I probably have entirely to many pictures, but I figure this is my scrap booking for now so oh well. We got there and checked in and got her number, I could tell it was going to be disorganized when the lady said "oh we decided to put the babies with the big girls since there isn't very many". Seemed like a little bit of an unfair playing field but we went with it. Here she is all ready to go...

It was hard to keep her entertained while we waited for it to start. I have to give Matt credit on this one, he picked her dress, it's hard to tell but it really makes her eyes stand out.They took the babies back into a small judging room and had the existing royalty play with them while the judges watched.She didn't cry which to me was great since here was this room full of strangers.After the playtime we waited to be announced, I was her chaperon. I was kind of nervous because they tell you okay you go to this spot on the floor then move here then move there then back here and oh by the way we play music so just listen for the ding to move to which spot. Got it? Umm NO. Oh well good luck! go!Here we are being announced by the reigning royalty. It was very cute, they tell things about her while we move from spot to spot. They said here's contestant number 8 Sadi Denning, Sadi is 13 months old from Dayton, NV, Her parents are Matt and Karen Dennning. She has 2 brothers and 1 sister supporting her tonight. Sadi has brown hair and blue eyes. Sadi's favorite thing to do is collect yellow things, and her favorite food it bananas.After doing this twice, which was one thing they messed up on, we were suppose to model casual wear and then party wear but ended up just modeling one it was time for intermission and then they announced the winners. She won 3 trophies!!! She won a trophy for "Best Party Wear", a second for "Personality Plus", and then the big title of Miss Northern Nevada Overall Baby. I could not believe she beat out the older girls on personality and party wear! Wow, I was blown away. Here she is being crowned and given her sash. She also won a partial scholarship to compete in the State pageant in Vegas this summer but I don't think we will go. Hey if your already a winner do you need to win more? Here she is with all her trophies.

After the trophies and crowning, it was time for official pictures.

I wanted to get some really cute pictures after it was all over but she was not interested, notice the crown is gone and she is trying to stack her trophies.I had to surrender and let her be done, it was a looong night! She was ready to go bye bye. I couldn't resist getting one with crown on even if she was asleep by the time we put her in the truck.

I had planned to go out to dinner after to celebrate but she was just to tired so I tried again the next day to get some cute shots, once again, she did not want to wear the crown, so this is the best we could do. We took her to McDonald's the day after to celebrate and bought her her very first Happy Meal and to let her play in the play land. She loved it!!
