Our Girls with their Little Misses

This year we tried something new! We had each contestant get a Little Miss to be with her during the modeling portion of the competition. We ended up with 12 adorable little girls ready to be on stage! They performed their little hearts out! They love their queens! Good job Little Ladies! You were the hit of the show!

They do love to pose!

Miss Utah 2009

Miss Utah was a wonderful week! Our girls Staci, Kami and Whitney were AMAZING! They looked beautiful and their talents were awesome! Whitney was chosen as Miss Utah 2009. She has worked hard for 2 years to prepare and she is ready for the job.

It is always bittersweet when someone wins and someone doesn't. I love these young women. They put everything they have out on the line to be judged by a panel of 7 people. It doesn't always go the way we want....but they try so hard! They have such a desire to make Pleasant Grove proud. I have such respect and gratitude for the job they do. They told us this year at Miss Utah that there were 700 young women that tried out state wide to become eligible to compete at Miss Utah 2009. Only 46 young women made it! That shows what amazing young women we have!

I am constantly amazed by their mother's (and dad's) as well. In the past two years I have worked closely with Lois and Denise. They have been unfailing in their support of their daughters. They are some of my dearest friends in all the world. I have never seen mom's work so hard.

Staci you are one amazing young woman! I love you with all my heart! No one has ever worked harder than you! You have overcome some personal challenges this year that already make you a winner! I am so proud of you! You have such a wonderful future ahead of you! I am so grateful to have been able to share your journey this year! Thanks for making Pleasant Grove so proud! You wear the crown well! You are something else! We love you!

In the Midst of Miss Utah... Strawberry Day's!

Arriving at the Parade! This year was extra special! Mady's platform is called "Open Hearts" and because of that we were privileged to have four darling young women ride on the float with the royalty. The crowds loved them and it proved to be a really special day for all of us!

Here they are ready for the rain!
