Hair Practice

Thanks to the lovely Reba for helping me practice my pageant hair today! One more thing to check off the list to preparing for Miss Missouri's Outstanding Teen. Just 20 days until MMOT 2014 is crowned!

Fairview Elementary Fifth Graders - Graduation!

Congratulations to these soon to be graduating Fairview Elementary Fifth graders. They were one of my favorite classes that I got to speak with this year promoting my platform "Operation Fit Kids". Thank you to Mrs. Hummel, Mr. Earls, Mrs. Lusby, and Mrs. Wilcoxson for letting me visit all of your classes and spend some time with your special kids!

24/7 Dance Convention in Dallas

This weekend I was privileged to attend the 24/7 Dance Convention in Dallas! I spent Saturday in training with some famous choreographers including Twitch and Sonya Tayeh from So You Think You Can Dance. That evening, I competed in my 7 group dances from CPAC from 4:00 - 10:30. We were back up and dancing on Sunday morning at 8am for another day of training with some really great choreographers! 11 classes and 7 dances in 48 hours. This was a HUGE convention, and I was fortunate enough to be picked for a finalist in the Non-Stop Dancer Award. I'm ready for a little rest and then we're ready for recital next weekend!

Fitness Fun Day Revisted

I've been working with all of the photos we took at Fitness Fun Day and put a short video together highlighting the fun that everyone had. Thanks to the 60 kids and 20 volunteers that turned out to help make the event such a great success in promoting my platform of Operation Fit Kids as well as raising money for MU Children's Hospital.  I've shared it on YouTube so everyone can enjoy. If you were there, see if you can spot yourself in the video! I hope to have another Fitness Fun Day soon!

Photo Shoot

What a great weekend!  Lovely weather and I got to spend a day with the EXTREMELY talented Marshall Meadows shooting photos both indoors and out, at Branson. There are some awesome places for pics and I was privileged to have the opportunity to get some. Here is a preview of some of the photos.

Hard to believe, but this is a real location in Branson.
