AMTC, Day 3

Well, here it is, Day 3 of Convention...It is hard to believe that it is going by so fast.....Today was a "down day" for the most part....Macey had one competition...which was swimsuit...She did great....She is just a natural at this stuff....There is a lot of girls her age competing, but she does so well....she just doesn't let the "pressure" of the business get to her...She just gets up there and has fun...and comes off the stage smiling from ear to ear each and every time she competes...I am just so very proud of her....She is so confident in herself, and she is so much more mature than I ever thought about being at 8 years old....This is an absolutely amazing experience....Just listening to the agents, and directors speaking to us, getting to meet them...We even met some "stars" today...

All of Macey's AMTC group sat together tonight at the Swimsuit Competition...so everyone cheered, and applauded when Macey was on stage....and we cheered for our other group members....The Ballroom was packed...even the boys enjoyed watching this competition....After the competition...we all met together for a group photo...I took a few shots of Macey and a few of her friends she has made through AMTC....Enjoy...Here is Macey with her Director, Stephanie....She is the one who has taught her everything she needed to know for AMTC.....Macey and Tory....one of the girls she has enjoyed getting to know during our AMTC time....A couple of the boys wanted their picture made with Macey....She was cracking up....Cade couldn't resist another opportunity to get his pic made with his sissy....He loves her....Macey loves Josh...He is an awesome guy to be around...He is full of energy, and he is a phenomenal christian...He has been leading a Bible study each night during convention....I guarantee we will see him on TV/movie in the future....You can say, I saw him when.....ha ha...He cheered and cheered for Macey during her swimsuit competition...She is loving all of this attention.....This is Harrison, he is a sweet guy....and he sure likes to spend a lot of time with Macey....He swam with her today, and he is always "popping up" during her competitions...He calls her a "star" already...He is a cute little guy...but I told Macey...He is too old...He is twelve...; ) Here is Macey, where she loves to be....in the center of all of the teenagers....She loves to hang out with the "big kids"....She is so funny...They were all talking with her...and she was in heaven....Last but not least, a pic of Macey and me....even though she was so into "all of her friends" that she couldn't even look at the camera...I had to post a pic of me...The Proud Mommy....Tomorrow is the last of Macey's competitions....She has runway tomorrow....then we have lots of seminars and an opportunity to meet and speak with some stars that started in AMTC....So we have a big day tomorrow....Tomorrow night we get callbacks...and then Sunday is when we get the opportunity to meet with the agents/managers/casting directors.....So, it is a big day....

We have a formal awards banquet on Sunday night...I will be sure to take plenty of photos of us all dressed up....I am wearing a semi formal (thanks, Sarah...I am going to wear the black dress!) and Macey has a formal, and the boys are both wearing ties....It is sort of like the Academy Awards of AMTC....= ) Gonna be lots of fun....Well, I am exhausted...so I am going to bed....Hope everyone had a wonderful fourth of July...Miss everyone back home....Lots of love...
