Kelsey's Cinderella Scholarship Pageant



Kelsey was in a pageant two weekends ago called the "Cinderella Scholarship Pageant."  It was held in Mesa and was for all girls in the East Valley of Phoenix ages ranging from little toddlers to teens.  Kelsey really wanted to try the pageant this year as her dance director has been begging Kelsey to enter!  She worked very hard attending workshops and learning how to walk with her shoulders poised, do slow turns, and speak into a microphone slowly and clearly.  She had three competitions:  an evening gown, casual wear, and talent.  For her talent, Kelsey did a clogging solo that stole the show.  She wore a bright pink sequin jacket with a turquoise tutu skirt and clogged to the song, "Vacation" by the Go Go's.  She nailed it!  She took second place in her age division but also won the overall talent award for the teens.  We are so proud of her!

Here is Kelsey winning the overall talent award for her age group.  Yea Kelsey!


The proud parents :)  Her daddy bought her some roses . . . Awww!


Grandma and Grandpa Marshall just happened to be in town so they were able to come!


This is a tired, but smiling group of cousins with Aunt Melanie.  They were at the pageant for over four hours!


Wow - Kelsey is so pretty in this dress!!


Hailey just couldn't make it to the end.  Kelsey and I were there from 3:30-11:00 p.m. but Hailey, only staying for half that time, still couldn't help falling asleep.  It was an extremely LONG day!!!
