KSLA- news at Noon

KSLA noon news team! They're the BEST!

KSLA news anchor and former Mrs LA 2007 Najahe Hall and myself


Former Mrs LA Najahe Hall asked me to do an interview on her noon news show in Shreveport to promote Mrs. America. We had a great conversation about MENC, skin cancer prevention, the upcoming pageant, and of course my family. KSLA provided the public with a quick look at the Mrs. America website and the Mrs. LA web page! It was so wonderful to be able to spend some time with her and to share with the viewing audience my excitement for the upcoming event.

Bossier City Battlewings Arena Football Game- July 25

Battlewings game- July 25, 2009

On the field waiting for players

Gabe and I in the stands.

Signing autographs with the kids is the best- I loved her too cute smile!



I had the priviledge of being an honorary captain at the last home game of the season for the Bossier City Battlewings. Gabriel and I had the opportunity to take the field prior to the game starting and participate in the coin toss. Gabe was so precious taking it all in, it had to be very overwhelming for a 3 year old to be out there- but he was fabulous! Also joining me was the Exterminators from the hit TV show VexCon on A&E. I also had a great time signing autographs prior to the game and meeting tons of wonderful people, especially the little ones! Special thanks to my wonderful in-laws for accompaning Gabriel and I while Tim was at the firestation. The Battlewings WON and are now in the playoffs- GO WINGS!
