🩰 Last night, I had the absolute joy of attending A Colorado Rodeo at the Pikes Peak Center for the Arts, and it was truly unforgettable! 💖🐎✨

A huge congratulations to my school principal and artistic director, Miss Kate Walsh, whose brilliant choreography and vision brought this beautiful story to life in such a powerful and magical way! She is such an inspiration to me, not only as a dancer, but as a young girl with big dreams. I am so thankful to learn from someone who pours so much passion, excellence, and heart into everything she creates. 💐

It was also so special to watch the older dancers from my school, Colorado Ballet Society shine on stage. Their talent, dedication, artistry, and storytelling were incredible to witness. Every scene beautifully captured the spirit of the American West, Colorado history, faith, family, tradition, and the dreams of young girls who believe in something bigger than themselves. 👑

From the excitement of the rodeo parade to the romance beneath the Colorado skies, A Colorado Rodeo was full of heart, beauty, and western charm. Watching Jessi chase her dream of becoming Rodeo Queen while staying true to her values made the story even more meaningful.

If you did not get the chance to see it this year, do not miss it next year! I truly hope A Colorado Rodeo becomes a Colorado tradition for families to enjoy for years to come, much like A Colorado Nutcracker, which I am so honored to be a part of.

There is something so special about celebrating stories through the beauty of dance.

Congratulations again to everyone who made this production possible. What an amazing night! 🤍⭐️

🥰 Love,

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 to all of the incredible moms, grandmothers, foster moms, bonus moms, and mother figures who lead with strength, kindness, grace, and unconditional love. 💐

Today we celebrate the women who wipe tears, cheer the loudest, pray the hardest, give endlessly of themselves, and make the world feel safer and brighter for the children they love. Your sacrifices often go unseen, but they are never unnoticed.

I am especially thankful for my own Mama, who teaches me every day what it means to love others well, serve with compassion, and trust God through every season. ❤️

Today, The Sparrow Foundation also holds close in prayer the mothers who are grieving, the mothers longing for children, and the mothers who no longer have their babies in their arms. We know Mother’s Day can carry both love and heartbreak, joy and deep remembrance. To every mother carrying loss quietly in her heart, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒏, 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒃𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏. 🤍🙏

From Miss Colorado Princess and all of us at The Sparrow Foundation, thank you for the love you pour into your families and communities each and every day. You are deeply appreciated, today and always.

Today, on the National Day of Prayer, we are reminded that no matter what our nation faces, our hope is found in God alone. Prayer is powerful. It brings peace to anxious hearts, strength to weary souls, and light into even the darkest moments. As Miss Colorado Princess, I believe one of the greatest things we can do is pray for our families, our leaders, our communities, and for kindness and love to shine brightly in this world.

At The Sparrow Foundation, we have seen firsthand how God brings comfort, healing, and hope through even the hardest seasons of life. Today, we encourage everyone to pause, pray, and remember that faith can move mountains.

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” — Mark 11:24 ❤️🙏🇺🇸

With love,
Miss Colorado Princess, Sparrow Kilgore

Dance is more than movement. It is storytelling, discipline, beauty, and emotion all woven together. It is the quiet strength built at the barre, the grace found in every line, and the courage to express what words sometimes cannot. Dance teaches patience, perseverance, and the importance of giving your whole heart to something you love.

I am so incredibly grateful for my teachers at Colorado Ballet Society. Thank you for your patience, your encouragement, and for pouring your time and talent into me. You have not only taught me technique, but you have helped me truly understand and appreciate the art of dance and all that it represents.

Every class is a gift, and I am thankful for each moment I get to learn, grow, and fall more in love with dance.

God created such a beautiful world for us to live in, and it’s up to all of us to take care of it. From the mountains here in Colorado to the smallest flowers in our backyards, every part of His creation matters.

Even the smallest acts of kindness toward our Earth can make a big difference. Today, let’s remember to love it, protect it, and be good stewards of the gifts we’ve been given.

⭐️ 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱 Mayor Yemi 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀…

This past week, I had the honor of attending Mayor Yemi Mobolade’s official reelection campaign kickoff hosted at COSCityHub. It was more than just an event. It was a reminder of what steady, heartfelt leadership can look like in a city like ours.

Over the past four years, Mayor Yemi has served the City of Colorado Springs, Colorado with intention and integrity. He has strengthened public safety through historic investments in police and 911 staffing, improved emergency response times, supported meaningful economic growth, and made lasting investments in our infrastructure so our families can thrive for generations to come.

But what makes Mayor Yemi truly special cannot be measured in policies or projects alone. It is who he is at his core. A devoted husband to Abbey, a loving father to their three children, a pastor, a leader, and a servant to my community. His vision is rooted in something deeper, a shared hope for a city where people feel safe, supported, and seen.

He continues to work toward making Colorado Springs more affordable, protecting our neighborhoods, and strengthening the foundation of our city. Not just because it is his job, but because it is his heart. ❤️

My family has known Mayor Yemi for nearly three years, and what has always stood out most is his kindness. It is not performative or reserved for certain moments. It is steady, genuine, and present in the way he treats every person he encounters. He takes the time to truly see people, to listen, to encourage, and to uplift in ways that often go unnoticed but are deeply felt. He has supported me throughout my journey as Miss Colorado Princess, not just with kind words, but with a sincere belief in who I am and who I am becoming. There have been moments where his encouragement has meant more than he probably even realizes. He leads with a servant’s heart, and that is something you do not forget. It is rare to find someone who carries both the weight of leadership and the gentleness of compassion so effortlessly. That kind of leadership does not just make a difference in a city, it leaves a lasting imprint on the people within it.

I am deeply grateful to call him a friend and truly honored to have been part of such a meaningful evening.
