Demi 1st runner up/miss photogenic

Today we competed in Demi's third pageant. Miss sweetheart was held at the king opera house, downtown VB and she won 1st runner up and miss photogenic. I'm so proud of her. Pepaw and memaw have gotten to attend all three and they take pictures and yell while she's on stage. She waves and walks where ever they are!!

Happy Valentine's

Demi sent me flowers today at work for valentines day (via memaw). Today Demi is wearing a hand made valentine dress made by aunt Norz! We went to dinner with daddy and all exchanged our cards. We had a steak dinner and Demi enjoyed her strawberry cupcake for dessert!

95 wonderful years

Papaw "JT Boyd", my great grandpa passed away February 5th, 2013. He was born in 1917 and was 95 years old. He was the only grandpa I ever knew. Papaw was in great health but started loosing his teeth and memory a few years ago. Though his memory was fading, it was only his short term. He knew everyone and could tell you stories of WWII but not if he ate lunch or bathed. He would frequently ask what day it was or if jimmy d (my dad) was in town.

Bristol Riley is due on his birthday June 3rd and we really hope she can share his birthday!!

Demi's pageant career

Last night was Demi's second pageant and she did so well. Her first pageant she won 1st runner up. Last nights pageant only had a winner, no runners up. She really enjoys the other kids and waving at daddy, pepaw, memaw and Norz. There were two phases of competition casual and evening wear. Her next pageant is next weekend. We were all so impressed when she won 1st runner up -miss Arkansas river. This was a prelim to miss Arkansas that I won in 2006. So it was very special. She won two metals that Miss Arkansas 2012 Sloan Roberts placed around her neck.
