St. Patrick's Day parade Grand Marshall

Cottleville, MO St. Patrick's Day Parade was a HUGE success even if it was cold and rainy!!! I had the pleasure to serve as Grand Marshall and Kylie and JD were so excited to be in the parade. The crowd was incredible!! The kids said they would rather watch the parade next time. I think they realized that it is more fun to catch and receive the candy than it is to throw it out!

KFNS 590 Sports Talk

If you have ever been through St. Louis then you know KFNS sports radio is the favorite of many sports fans. KFNS sportstalk radio is a sponsor of the Cottleville St. Patricks Day parade. I am honored to be serving as Grand Marshall of the parade on March 13th.

Appearances as Mrs. America

My year has been filled with so many AWESOME experiences, I have enjoyed them all so much! And now that my morning sickness has finally calmed down (halfway through my pregnancy...geez you would think it would be easier the 3rd time around!) I am enjoying them a bit more!!!I presented the game ball at the Chicago Bulls game and got to hang out with Bob Love and even the great Paul Pierce! I was also a speaker at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Celebrities and Friends dinner. Some of the greatest St. Louis Cardinals players were there 2 of the photos below with me in the blue dress are with Rick Horton and Lou Brock! Wow, I am always star struck around great athletes :) Also one of my favorite mornings as Mrs. America was spent with the Esprit softball team of St. Louis. I spoke to them about being proud to be an athlete and still fitting in as a "girly" girl. It's a tough thing when your young. If you are a mother watching your daughter go through it or you have gone through it yourself you know what I mean.

Mrs. America appearances and experiences

The women at Mrs. World (76 contestants) were just amazing. I hung out and learned so much from all of them. My pageant coach and dear friend Holly Ernst came all the way to Vietnam and cheer me on...she got me all the way to 1st runner-up!! Really without her advice I would be a lost soul on that stage! She is in the photo with the fabulous red collared dress




These are some photos of my amazing time in Vietnam at the Mrs. World Competition, I was named 1st runner-up to the beautiful Mrs. Russia.... My family came to the competition and it was such a blessing to have them there...I didn't know it but I was actually 5 weeks pregnant during the competition!! Wow, what a blessing this past year has been and to top it off with a baby is just precious! Diane Tucker, Mrs. America 2007/Mrs. World 2008 (plum dress) was a judge so I couldn't talk with her while we were there (except during interviews :)) But it was great to see a familiar face!
