Miss Ivins Princess Pageant 2012

 My dad came and sang, even though he had just had his 2nd knee replacement on Monday afternoon and the pageant was Saturday evening. He usually sings to the contestants, but knowing there is no way he would be comfortable for 3 hours waiting to sing, I added something to the program this year. I had him sing at the beginning so the Royalty could dance with their Dad's. My dad sang, "What A Wonderful World". That is my absolute favorite song that he sings and yes, once again, he got tons of compliments about his beautiful voice. I love my dad and so grateful to him that he is always willing to be there for me and my sisters when we need him to sing.

These handsome boys were the escorts for the night. They helped move the stage and escort the beautiful contestants. They were quite the hit with the crowd and the contestants.

The MC's while waiting for the judges to tally the votes and complete the ballots. They held a Mr.Ivins with our 4 escorts. (They had NO idea and were NOT very happy, especially my son) They had the audience decide with clapping, cheering and stomping. Whoever got the most cheers won, "Mr. Ivins". It was between Trevor and Navy and when they announced it they said, "Our winner is Jordan!" Trevor was so excited that it wasn't him, then they put the crown on him. You should've seen his face-NOT HAPPY! They called him the wrong name.
