Jessica and I put Ryder and Alivia in the Fiesta Days Baby Contest. I decided that I would make Ryder a baseball outfit because the theme was Celebrating Traditions. I ended up making the shirt. I am not good at sewing at all. In fact I had to call one of the Young Women over to help me thread my machine. I purchased some fabric and went to work. I had a little baseball shirt that I was using as a pattern. I just laid it on top of the fabric and then cut around it, Grinch style. I unpicked an old cheer jacket for the SF, then I wonder undered number 10 on the back. I sewed it all up and this is what we got. It was kind of a disaster, but it looked okay when I got the rest of the outfit on him. It was kind of fun to do it all on my own, but I think I'll ask for help next time.
Ryder's new Nikes. He loves them! He usually only likes his crocs, but now he'll wear these. It is a good thing because it is going to get cold soon and crocs won't cut it for the winter. 
Ryder's picture at the contest. He didn't win the contest, but I had a good time making his costume. He pulls this face a lot lately. We think its really funny.
Alivia won the baby contest for her age group! She was so cute carrying her bag of prizes. This is her in the park right after she got her medal. She is beautiful!
This is Aliva on the night of the contest. She looks so darling. We tried to get her to do all of these poses and smile, but I couldn't get the picture taken fast enough before she would move. What a doll!

They are both so adorable!!! What little cuties they are! Shan, I am impressed with your sewing. I could never pull that off. He looks so cute in his outfit. He for sure should have won. That face he pulls is so cute.
Wow good job on sewing the outfit! It looks great and Ryder should have won. He is so cute! And congrats to Alivia! That's awesome she won.

He looks so cute! I'm so impressed that you sewed his cute little outfit. I think he should have won.
Great Job Shannon! Can I call you next time I need something sewn? What a handsome ball player you have. I would have picked him if I were a judge!
Wow! I think you did a great job on that outfit, he looks so cute!! He's such a cutie, I can't believe he didn't win, but sometimes you don't know what they are thinking, huh! Morons...
lol!
That is the cutest thing ever! I love his little ball suit! He looks like a miniature Brad! If I were one of the judges he for sure would have been the winner! I don't know how they choose though because there are so many little cuties! Ryder is definitely one of the cutest I've seen though! I still need to see him in person! He and Tater can be little monsters together! Great job on the sewing! Sometimes all it takes is just getting the stinkin needle threaded!
You did a great job making his outfit for the baby contest. I think it was rigged... Rylin and Ryder should have won!
