Production number!

The beyond awesome SARA HIRSCHI choreographed our production number to a Roar- by Katy Perry remix.  Super cool.  I am so excited!

The incredible interview workshop and mock interviews

 My thoughts on the pageant process is for the girls to have the opportunity to learn as many "REAL WORLD" skills as possible.  The interview workshop did just that.  Angie Seegmiller, office manager for Dr. Howard, gave the girls intense info about what to do and what not to do in interviews.  I learned a ton!

Can you just say ADORABLE!!!

All these amazing women helped us set up 3 different interview rooms for the girls to practice their new interview skills.  The girls received "comment" cards back with things they did well and things they could work on.

We were privileged to have McCall Spears, reigning Miss Washington County, come over and do a pageant workshop for us.  We learned a ton!  Good luck at Miss Utah McCall!!!

Pageant Week

I can't believe it has been more than a year already.  I feel like Jessica has had so many experiences.  I know we have grown closer and I am so grateful for the time that we have had doing Miss Toquerville stuff.  It truly has been a gift!
And the work is in full swing.  All the paperwork is due this week, extra practices, sewing like crazy, and the pageant is on Saturday.  It is bittersweet for me.  The pageant is so much work but I know this is a great program.  It teaches the girls so many useful skills that they can use throughout their life.  I even benefited from the extra interview training!  I have seen girls come out of their shell and really blossom in self confidence.  Overcoming your fear of being on stage really comes from being prepared and practiced.  These girls are nervous but really doing so well as they are practicing at home.  I know these next few days will be a whirlwind and I will miss it when it is over.  I love building relationships with the girls I have the opportunity to get to know.  I absolutely love each and every one.  Good luck Arianna, Kaili, Kennedy, McKinlye, Rebekah, and Ashley!  You are all AMAZING!!!!

To my beautiful daughter..... I am so grateful to be your mom and be able to join you on this incredible year as you have journeyed as Miss Toquerville!  You have represented our town with grace and elegance.
