Montgomery

December 1, 2025

We had a great Thanksgiving in Montgomery! The adventure started on Wednesday with ice skating for the girls while the boys were on the golf course. Montgomery Whitewater has an ice rink and it was a nice setup – only problem was the 72 degree temps and the sunshine! I think we were actually water skating instead of ice skating…but it was still fun!

That evening we all headed over to Jenny and Ronnie’s for tacos! The kids loved their pink lemonade “margaritas”!

Of course everyone’s favorite activity was chasing around Baby Holland! He’s the cutest!!

Don’t even ask…

It was a great night all around…

and of course there was a stair pic – not the last of the weekend!

More tomorrow!

Weekend fun

November 18, 2025

We had a great weekend start to finish! Robert and I went out on the town Friday night to a casino party at the club. The company was awesome and I think Robert won big at the craps table!

On Saturday Spencer watched the game with friends while Maxwell and Robert got to go to Tuscaloosa for the game. While the tide didn’t roll the way we wanted, it was a beautiful day for some tailgating and football…

I stayed home and hung with these cute girls and got them up to church on Sunday to start practicing for the Christmas pageant!

Fun all around!

dinner

November 10, 2025

Maxwell seems to always have plans these days, but we can still get these two out to dinner with us on a weekend night every once in a while!

We made it to Bottega and I’m not sure which was better – the food or the company? All A+++!

More football

November 7, 2025

For two of the games this season I had a professional photographer take picstures and he got some great shots of Spencer!

7th grade MTB Football vs Clay-Chalkville 2025

This was an awesome pass breakup by 38!

Get in there Spence!

Sideline break!

Spencer holding on to that one foot to take him down!

Go Spence go! The photographer also came to the game where Spencer was captain. Love these shots!

He also got some fantastic action shots of my lock down corner!

When he grabs on, he’s not letting go!

Look at him in the bottom of that pile!

Spencer Brown…

with the tackle!

Halftime break!

Back at it!

Love this play by play…

I love this kid.

What a season! So proud of Spencer and the entire 7th grade Spartan team. Go Spartans go!

7th grade football

November 6, 2025

Spencer’s football season wrapped up two weeks ago and what an awesome season it was! He worked so hard and earned a starting spot on that team and proved himself to be the first string cornerback over and over again. I was so proud of his hard work and persistance! Practices started all the way back in June in the heat…

and continued every afternoon once school started. At first Spencer worked out at the quarterback position but then it became evident that another boy had that positioned locked up so he pivoted, gave DB a try, and found the perfect spot for him – just like his big brother! He was an aggressive and reliable cornerback all season long. He made incredible tackles and played his position so well! Let’s go 38!

The season started with the Spartan Day scrimmage…

and continued through 8 or so games. The team did well but was also plagued by injuries – they lost their quarterback after game 3 and several other players were sidelined by halfway through the season. If they had been able to keep everyone in the game, I think they really could have had a winning season.
