After only 3 weeks of practices, the competition was Saturday night. The girls were judged on academics, interview, poise, fitness, talent, etc. K borrowed a gorgeous dress and wore it when she sang an Italian opera. Even with laryngitis and bronchitis, it was beautiful. The amazing hair and bling from Sommer were the perfect touch. She even placed as a runner up in that category. For poise, she wore an amazing red dress that she had gotten for homecoming. We bought it long and strapless, with potential, and amazing Granny made it perfect. K was darling doing the fitness routine, and like I thought originally, strong. From her dad, of course:)
In the end, K was named 2nd runner up, over all. We are thrilled. R surprised us, and got to be there to watch. He had driven to San Diego for a conference, but came home a whole day early and came straight to the theater. What an amazing dad thing to do.
K said the best part was becoming friends with so many great girls, and the money is not so bad, either.
We are so proud of our pumpkin head!

WISH I could have been there . . . I have very fond memories of Jr. Miss. I was also second runner up--See, there's a reason I love her!
I am so excited for her. I was going to come but at the last minuet I got a call that some family from my mom's was in town that I haven't seen in 19 years so I thought I would give it a try. That is a huge story I'll tell you some other time. I knew she would do great Karli is such a talented girl I don't know how she does everything that she does.
WOW!!!! Karli, you are amazingly talented! Most girls work at getting ready for that competition for a LONG time! You are so naturally talented and beautiful that you whipped it out in 3 weeks! Seriously impressive! love you guys and i am sad i was not able to see Karli while we were there!

It is so fun to see how cousins grow up! Jen you have a beautiful family. Karli, I remember how adorable you were as a baby full of tons of hair, that's just how your mom makes them. Look at you now...more beautiful than ever on the inside and out. Congrats to all of you!
