2010 Tot Miss Mayhaw

This post is so out of order. I forgot to include this pic and now it won't let me move it to the paragraph is goes under so just scroll on down to the hair before hairpiece section.


As you can tell by the title of this post, Bells won the Tot Division of the Miss Mayhaw Pageant! Way to go Baby Girl! She had alot of fun doing this pageant but her favorite part of the pageant was, as always, the parade! That girl would rather be in the parade throwing candy than on the sidelines catching the candy! This is me and my girl in the parade line up right before it started.
These pictures are a little out of order and let's just face it....I'm too tired right now to arrange them! This is Bells getting ready to participate in the Queens' part of the mayhaw spitting contest. Yes, you heard right...The Mayhaw Spitting Contest!


Most of the queens getting ready to spit.




Miss Kassie, the director of the pageant, introducing Bella as the Tot Queen at the Mayhaw Festival. She was waving and blowing lots of kisses :)



Thanks John John and Lenzy for chauffering us around in the parade in your awesome jeep! Bells loves sitting on the top bar and throwing candy.



A pic before the parade started.




After we got home. She was sitting beside her roses that Mommy got her for winning the pageant.



This one just cracks me up. In true Bella fashion, the poor baby can't smell anything without wrinkling up that little button nose!



All smiles. That girl loves flowers especially when they are for her!




She toned down her routine for this pageant. I guess she just wasn't "feeling it" at the time. She did great on stage but acted just a little shy, which for all of you that know Bella....shy is just not in this girl's vocabulary!



Denny couldn't be at this pageant so we called in the reinforcements because Mommy just can't do hair. Makeup, I can handle, but hair is out of my league. I'm a nurse, not a stylist!




Shea Finklea, you are the bomb.com/awesome! This one is Shea in action placing that hairpiece just right. It looks like Bella is telling her where it goes :)




Hair before hairpiece. She doesn't really need it but I do use it in some of her pageants just to give her a little more height. Especially if we are having to travel to the pageant with her hair already fixed. That little hairpiece has been a lifesaver or at least a pageantsaver.






She had a great time. Bells, I'm so proud of you, my baby girl! Love you bunches!

Papaw and Bells

My father passed away Monday night. He loved this little one with all of his heart. They will always have a special bond. Rest in peace, Daddy. Tommy Joe Fontana July 27, 1950 - November 30, 2009.

This was taken when Bella was three days old. Even then, you couldn't kick him away from her!
They were lying in his hospital bed a few months before he passed.
Two peas in a pod.


She had just noticed his hair had started to grow back.

Papaw and Bells on her second birthday.


On the Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX in March of 2009.


Myrtle Beach, SC last summer. This is one of my favorite pictures of them.

The apple of his eye. He would take her riding up and down the street on his scooter.

They loved each other so much. Don't worry, Daddy. I will tell her everyday how much you loved her. We love you and miss you so much already.
