Sharp shooters

December 2, 2025

On Friday morning we went out for some target practice thanks to Ronnie. He hooked the boys up with a great setup and it was a beautiful sunny – and chilly! – day. Perfect for an outdoor adventure!

Samantha even took a turn shooting and hit the bell target with no problem! Bullseye!

While the boys shot, Samantha and I walked up and down and up and down the hay rows. I think I got 6K steps in which made me happy before the Thanksgiving meal!

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!!

Miss Olympian

November 26, 2025

on Saturday night I took Samantha and a friend to the Miss Olympian pageant. It’s a beauty/talent pageant at the high school that girls can enter. There is a talent portion, interview and evening gown competition! There ended up being a big crew of girls and moms and it really was such a fun night!

All of the contestants did an excellent job. There were a LOT of dancers plus three piano players – one of whom was an insanely talent classical pianist that did an amazing piece by Chopin! I can’t believe she didn’t win. My personal favorite was the girl that did a color guard routine with a flag and rifle! Amazing! The highlight of the night for me though was a 10th grade boy that sang after intermission doing a rendition of Billy Joel’s New York State of Mind. He wasn’t a contestant but I think they should have given him the crown! ha! It was such a fun night.

I do love a good girl’s night out with my favorite girl!

More 9th football

November 21, 2025

I got a photographer to come to the 9th grade game versus Briarwood. It turned out to be a really exciting game that even included a weather delay! But, the Spartans saw it through to a huge win. Maxwell played the whole game and had some awesome plays.

The best was this fantastic pass breakup. I hate that #11 is in the front of the shot because it was awesome!

Spartans were trailing at the end of the 4th and had a chance to score on 3rd down but didn’t make it. There was 1 second left on the clock and the QB threw for a TD and we scored! SO exciting! Our awesome kicker then kicked a field goal to win the game! Talk about exciting!
