Abby, no longer a princess though the supreme

By -



 Her and I are very close… I mean she’ll consider us twins, best friends, cheetah sisters, co-chef’s in the kitchen… and when she grows up, she wants to be a hairstylist and a babysitter… potentially because I am her hairstylist and her babysitter?


None the less, this was my babygirl’s day to shine… This was her second pageant at the Fern Adair Conservatory for the Arts… Now, the funny thing is… her last pageant she did with the “Creative Princess” entry… she got the (general award, certificate of attendance… thanks for coming) plain “everyone wins something” crown…

                      

Not cute enough for a title, but cute enough to be on the summer pageant flyer 
 (LAME) but cool… or at least I thought so 

Though Abby was proud of herself and being four years old young and naive, she believed she won! It didn’t sit well with me as her now babysitter/friend/stylist/and now… pageant coach and choreographer…LET IT BE KNOWN, she asked us to enter the pageant. Her mom had shut me down for years, she has the face for television, the heart for the stage, and the voice of an angel… though when she finally asked… she received… so, round two began! After the first one, I was worried about even considering another pageant, truth be told… we all were nervous for her…
  

 The morning began with Ion straightening cream and tons of spritz… followed by curling ringlets for an hour (only to have this killed by her carseat) and the traditional pageant button up (tip; so they don't mess up their hair)… 







one ipad donned with hello kitty games and covered in hairspray, 3 outfit changes, three titles , two crowns, and one large trophy later….

Your ninth birthday

  Audrey, Audrey, Audrey. You are hilarious, beautiful, witty, intelligent, and passionate. You are so much fun. Today you’re 9 years old. A coworker stopped me and said, “I’m so happy you’ll spend the day with her tomorrow because when she’s 18, she won’t want to spend her whole birthday with you.” And that’s so true. I’ll have to share my time. This is your last single-digit birthday. You lost a tooth this week, and it wasn’t even a big conversation. You just lost it. When it comes to looks, Utah gave you freckles—they’re all over. Your eyes are still a hazy green, and your golden locks are growing browner by the day. You still have beautiful streaks of blonde, and I love them. You’re very tall but still in a booster seat. Maybe you’ll outgrow it by 10. I’m proud of you for letting me keep you safe. You started 3rd grade at an incredibly conservative Christian school that didn’t require anyone to follow biblical values except you—so we left. You joined your first charter school, ...

Your 2nd Birthday

  Bryer boy, Bryer boy. I cannot believe you are two. I will never forget the night I went into labor with you. I went to the hospital around 10 or 11 o’clock at night on the 23rd. I remember thinking, I can’t believe he’s doing this to me. Your dad said you could come any day, and of course, you chose a day that will forever confuse me when it comes to your birthday and your actual birth date. But that’s just like you, full of surprises. And in these last 365 days, you’ve continued to surprise me in the best ways. I’m not shocked one bit. You are everything I didn’t know I needed, and someone I absolutely adore. You are completely obsessed with both of your parents. Audrey? That love is a little more conditional, but you love your whole family big: extended, chosen, and blood-related. You love to play and will play with anyone willing to join you. You spent most of the year reading books. Your favorite was Penelope on the Farm, a hand-me-down from your cousins Nick and Rylee. You ...

Your eighth birthday

  Audrey Kaydence. Today you are 8 years old. Holy cow kid. You made it to 8. Time goes faster than what I would deem appropriate but all in all you have had quite some LIFE in your years. Let’s recap the last year shall we?  You switched schools in February, which was a challenging decision, but a good one you were at a much smaller school now with a much smaller network of friends and it is healthier for you.  Your blonde hair is still blonde and your eyes are still this gray blue green. They change all the time primarily gray and green sometimes blue and green still very light still very curly. You have more freckles now than you ever have before and I am admiring watching your face with glasses as I know that contacts are coming soon to help with your myopia. You will always be my baby. I am excited to watch you grow up. You got to go to your first concert this year it almost became your entire personality. You have been a Taylor Swift fan since you were about two yea...
