Mrs. America Pageant in Tucson Arizona

I had the opportunity to go to Tucson Arizona for the Mrs. America Pageant. I wanted to support Tiffany Nelson Mrs. Utah (who did amazing. She made the top 12 and got the award of most original state costume). I also wanted to see Mrs. Arizona again. I couldn't go for very long, so I flew down on Tuesday and came home Wednesday morning. It was such a great experience, I was so glad I was there to see Tiffany do so well.

Everybody hold hands!

Saying goodbye. It was only for a day, but I always hate to leave my family.

I finally get to hang out with Mrs. Arizona again. It was hard to make such good friends at Mrs. United States that I don't get to see on a regular basis. I am so glad that I got to see her, even if it wasn't for very long.

I am such a nerd, but I wanted to get a picture with one of these enormous cacutses (cacti?) I read somewhere that Arizona is the only place in the world they grow-isn't that cool?

I was hoping to see some of the contestants from the Mrs. United States pageant. It was fun to see Mrs. South Dakota there.

Brooke and I got our pictures with Kelly McBee. She is Mrs. America 2007.

She is so beautiful. She has cut her hair since she won last year, it was so cute.

Tiffany has the most adorable family. I couldn't help watching through the pageant and they were so cute. She has 7 kids. Such an impressive woman.

Tiffany is such a sweet woman. I got to hear many of the contestants say how much they thought of her. That is the real contest I think!

Everything about Tiffany's presentation was amazing. She totally deserved everything she got and then some. We were very proud of her.

The cutest baby! This is Brooke's baby (Mrs Arizona had a nine month old when she competed! She looked so good! She should have won based on that alone). She is so adorable I had to get a picture of her to take home!
