Fashion Show for the Miss Hooker Princess Pageant

Jordan is going to be a contestant in the Miss Hooker Princess Pageant in March. October 14th the girls put on a brisket dinner/fashion show to raise money for scholarships to be given out to the pageant winners. Tya Mantooth (a good friend) came out Sunday morning and did Jordan's hair and makeup for the fashion show. She did an amazing job, Jordan was absolutely gorgeous!! She had a lot of fun modeling at the fashion show. It was not judged or anything, just a good way for the girls to raise some money and to work on their modeling skills and being in front of a lot of people.

Dog Fest 2010

Girls had a lot of fun with dogfest this year. One day was "wanna be retro" day - Jordan dressed up in the poodle skirt she had borrowed from Lisa and went from the '50s. Dakota never figured out what she wanted to do for that day, so she didn't dress up. One day was "wanna be a success" day. Dakota dressed up like a softball player and Jordan dressed up like a trap shooter. The last day of dog fest they decorated t-shirts to support their class. I somehow ended up with a picture of Dakota in her shirt and not of Jordan in hers. lol But they both did an awesome job decorating their shirts and had a lot of fun at dog fest!!

Halloween Dance

Jordan and James went to the Halloween dance at school on Halloween night. They went as Danny and Sandy from Grease.

Earlier in the evening Jordan had helped out with the Halloween parade in earn a community service credit for the Miss Hooker Princess pageant, then she went on a trick or treating canned food drive with several members of her class.

Dakota had been invited to spend the weekend out of town with a friend, so she chose to do that instead. Both the girls had a really nice Halloween!!

Halloween Fun!

Girls got all dressed up to go help out with the PTO Halloween carnival the middle of October. They worked at the concession stand that evening. They had a lot of fun!! Dakota was a devil woman and Jordan was a dark angel.

Colorado Road Trip! - October 2010

Wow - been a while since I've updated this blog! lol

Ed and I took my new vette out to Colorado the first weekend in October. Terry came over to spend the weekend with the girls. They really enjoyed spending some time with him!!

Ed and I had an awesome time. We (he) drove almost 1200 miles in 2 days. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous! We went out through Trinidad, then over to South Fork, up to Creede, Lake City, Gunnison, back over Monarch Pass, Salida and Colorado City. The trees were all turning and it was beautiful. First time we've ever been to CO in the Fall. And seeing all of this in the vette was really amazing!!
