Kaylee was the only girl in her division to have sleeves. Another contestants mother in a different division noticed and complimented Kaylee on keeping her standards. I think it made Kaylee proud.
And of course my mom showed up for finals. She wore Gracie's dress around the room when Gracie refused to put it on! Of course, Gracie wanted it back real quick!

(I tried to get a pix of them together-but they weren't cooperating!)
To be honest, I was probably more disappointed in the judges results this year than I have ever been. But we had a great time, made new friends and my kids did such a wonderful job! It was a great mother/daughter week and I was so proud of them!
This was our State Miss picture. Any of the girls who had been crowned Az. State Miss before lined up for a pix in order of year. Yep! I'm the oldest one there. My year was 1990...so long ago! I'm the only one married with 5 kids! Right in front of me is Erin Nurss, who is the reigning Miss Arizona. She was also my State Tot in 1990.
