This was my 3rd year to hostess at the Miss Utah Pageant in Salt Lake City at the Capitol Theater. Linda, one of my sisters came with me again for the 2nd year in a row. It is so fun to spend a whole week with her. We were a hostess to 7 girls between the two of us. I had 4 girls and Linda had 3. The girls don't have contact with their families during the week of competition so we become their moms for the week. As fun as it sounds, it is a very tiring week. We don't get to bed until very late (or early in the morning) and up very early. Dealing with all the emotions and hormones are exhausting too as you can imagine. Three our of our seven girls were in the "Top 10"! Pretty good huh? We just loved them! They were so darling, sweet and talented. One of my girls, Whitney Merrifield, won the title of Miss Utah 2009 and One of Linda's girls, Allie Edgington, was 1st runner up. It was so exciting and we were so proud of them!

What a fun thing to do. I bet you are great with those girls! Your sister Linda looks so much like Iva! What a neat opportunity to get to be a part of Miss Utah!
Good times, great memories!
What fun! I am glad that you can do that every year.
I think it's so fun that you do this! (even if you have to be the lotion applier!) ;)
Those girls are so lucky to have you! You seem like the right person, who can stay calm and deal with all those girly emotions!
