Mr. Wolverine

This weekend Maisey finally got to debut as Wonder Woman when she accompanied my brother as his child escort in his high school's senior pageant. The pageant role was made up of 11 seniors and together, in less than 4 months they raised over $29,000 dollars for The Children's Miracle Network! These guys worked so hard on their skits and choreographed dances so that they could put on the best show- which they did.

In the picture below and to the right my brother is playing the guitar while the other guys join in for a song. He is a very talented musician and has had a band since he was in the 8th grade. For the last couple of years they have been playing gigs all around town at clubs and in bars (even though they are minors... but my parents are always there to cheer him on), and they have also recorded a CD. The name of his band is Trapped in a Mini-Van (you can look it up on Myspace). He sings, plays the electric guitar, drums, and pretty much does it all. Hey, he has so much musical talent maybe he got all of mine (I was born without any)!

On the left is a clip from the formal wear segment and he is escorting our mother.

Maisey looks up to her Uncle Chasey so much and her Aunt Erin too. She loves visiting Eugene and she loves all of the attention and treats that Grandma and Grandpa give her! She even commented while eating the "forbidden" chocolate cereal one morning, "Mom, I get to eat junk food here but not at home, huh?" Between a weekend of: rehearsal (and fruit snacks), performing (and treats that were awarded whether or not the child needed to be bribed or distracted), Chuck E Cheese (and a lolipop), Ryley's shower (and cake), a couple of nights at Grandma and Grandpa's (with gum and other hidden treats), and just all around fun, I think Maisey loves being the first grandchild!
