Colorado and Wyoming Galaxy Pageant

I had a wonderful time at the CO/WY Galaxy pageant. I was able to attend with my dear friends Tiffany and Shannon. Shannon brought her step-daughter, Taylor. She is a beautiful young lady. I wonder when we will get her into pageants?

L-R Jessica and Erin are both 2009 Colorado Galaxy queens. As Mrs. Colorado International, I had the honor and fun of making several appearances with both of these fabulous ladies. They are both dear friends now. Jessica was also Mrs. Colorado International 2007.

I met several visiting queens. Yolanda Makel is the reigning Ms. Galaxy. She is so transparent and genuine!

The reigning Miss Wyoming International is Alyssa. I am so excited for her to attend International!

Brandi is Ms Essence. She was the co-host for the evening. What a gracious lady!

Congratulations to my friend E-Dee for winning Ms. Colorado Galaxy!

Congratulations to my dear friend Brenda for taking first runner up to Mrs. Colorado Galaxy. She also is a Mrs. Colorado International queen.

RaeJean is the director of this quality pageant. She has done an amazing job of putting together a fun and fair pageant.

I was there to support two of my clients, Tanya (L) and Sybrina (R). Good job ladies!

A huge congratulations to client and friend, Tanya, the new Mrs. Colorado Galaxy!!! All your hard work and following hours of advice paid off!! Now to get you ready for the Mrs. Galaxy Pageant!!

We all met at Old Chicago's Pizza for an after party. After a long night, it was wonderful to kick off my shoes with outgoing Miss Colorado Galaxy, Amanda. She has done an amazing job as a title holder!

Mrs. Colorado Pageant

I recently attended the Mrs. Colorado Pageant with a fabulous group of ladies. We are all friends through pageantry. I would have to say that some of the most amazing women I have met, I met through pageants. These ladies are no exception.

Of course, this lady is no exception. This is Heidi, Miss Teen World Colorado. Her successor will have big shoes to fill.

My friend, Brenda, came all the way from Montrose for the weekend. The Mrs. Colorado Pageant, a preliminary to the Mrs. America pageant, is probably one of the most amazing shows in the world. I was not disappointed at all this year. Another quality and entertaining show was put on by the director, Emily and her crew.

It was wonderful to catch up with my friend and client Jennifer who also happens to be Mrs. Colorado US Beauties. 

These ladies are some of my dearest friends. Jessica, far right, performed with her dance troop and put on an amazing performance!

I was there to support my dear friend and client, Erin! Way to go, Erin. She placed top 15 in a field of 47 women! She is definitely one of my heroes!

This was also a reunion for three years of Mrs. Colorado International queens: Brenda 2008, Jessica 2007 and myself 2009. What a fabulous night of friends and pageantry!!

Holiday Pageant Double Header

My two beautiful friends, Shannon and Tiffany, were judges for the Miss Holiday Pageant and the Colorado Coed Preliminary. They had the difficult task of choosing the winners from a beautiful group of girls.

 Miss United America, Teresa, was the gracious emcee for the pageant. She really did a good job. She even experienced the daunting task of not having a contestants paperwork, so she created her own narrative for this young woman's evening wear. She actually did a really good job!

Some of the lovely Colorado Coed Queens were on hand to help out. They did a wonderful job of organizing the contestants and helping them on and off the stage.

Deonn is the energetic Director for the Colorado Coed Pageant. I love this lady. She has such a big heart and a real passion for the Coed program. I am honored to call her my friend.

A special shout out goes to my client, Ashley. She won her age division for the Coed Preliminary and tied for the Supreme title as well as winning best in Fashion Wear. Congratulations, Ashley!!!

Eagle Banquet

The final event in my son, Stephen's, climb to Eagle Scout culminated in the Denver Area Council's Eagle Banquet. That night there were over 200 Scouts who had reached the rank of Eagle in the Denver area representing more than 400 Scouts who received the award in 2010. What a special year to receive the rank of Eagle Scout. This was also the 100 year of Boy Scouts in America.

These are some of the boys from our troop who were honored that night. My wonderful husband is on the far right. He is an Eagle Scout and the Scout Master of the troop. You are always an Eagle Scout.

We are so proud of Stephen for attaining this prestigious award. He worked hard and that hard work paid off. Way to go, Stephen!!!
