A week after winning the title of Mrs. Colorado, my trainer Ray Kahn of Kickfit Sports, wanted to run a story on my "winning work-out" in his on line magazine.
"Me???" I replied, "in a fitness magazine?"
I was thrilled to be able to share the story of all of my hard work to get into shape for the Mrs. Colorado pageant.
The article is published in the July issue of Kick Fit Sports.

I must admit the article shows quite a "lighter work-out" than the actual training that I did during my
preparations for the pageant but Ray didn't want to scare anyone away with ALL the details of my workouts! He "kicked" my butt into shape after my second baby like a drill sergeant would! But it was all worth it, I needed it!
Hope you enjoy . . .
I had great fun shooting the pics.
Thanks again
Ray for the "boot camp" workouts! U rock!

As a newly named ambassador for the American Heart Association, I was honored to share my story. I look forward to the Dancing with the Mountain Stars event in October.
Myself with the host of this amazing event. Thanks for having me!
My beautiful sister titleholders, Amy Nakos Mrs. Frisco 2008 and Ronnie Bibb Mrs. Meeker 2008 were also models in the fashion show. We had such great fun!!
Ronnie Bibb could sell ice to an Eskimo!! I think she actually convinced Bob, an attendee to the event, that this pink rhinestone belt was perfect for him!
I had a great time helping out backstage at the Patriotic pageant (a fundraiser for the Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund). Celina, daughter of my hair stylist, D.J. Mc Dermott, competed in the pre-teen division. She was FABULOUS!

Happy 4th of July!!
My whole family was able to ride along in the parade. My husband John, my mother Linda, my niece Ashlee, my son Doren and my daughter Lila had SO much fun. It's always extra fun to have my family share in the fun of being Mrs. Colorado!
A friend of mine loaned us his convertible BMW. Someday I'll be able to trade in the "mommy mo-bile" for one of these!
