Maskers

February 18, 2026

Robert and I went down to Montgomery for Maskers two weekends ago. It was a family affair this year with Queen Katie, King Holland, and Ball Captain Ronnie! The fun started with rehearsal and dinner Friday night and then the ladies had a luncheon on Saturday…

18 years

January 19, 2026

Happy Anniversary, Robert! 18 years of fun…

I love you and our happy life. No place I’d rather be today than with you…even if it is taking you to get a colonoscopy. I’d say that’s true love and a good example of 18 years of marriage! ha! So thankful I have you by my side for the fun – and not so fun – stuff. Happy Anniversary!

more ski

January 16, 2026

We hit the slopes bright and early on Saturday for another fun, full, and COLD day of skiing!

It doesn’t matter how cold you are when the views are this good! Deer Valley really is the best skiing.

IMG_7962

These girls did awesome day 2. Confidence was higher and the other two took on some more challenging blue run with no problems. They all loved Bucky’s Front Yard!

The covered gondola ride was nice!

I sure did love being out there with this little girl – she’s so athletic and fearless and sweet and I just can’t believe how lucky I am that she’s mine.

That night we went out in Park City for sushi and it was really good!

We ended the night with some charades type game that had the girls laughing…church van! pickle! hoot! hot chocolate!

We left bright and early Sunday morning and had an easy travel day back.

Wish it could be an annual event!

More ski

January 15, 2026

Friday morning we woke up ready to get bundled up and hit the slopes! Hard not to be excited when this is your morning view…

IMG_7911

Thankfully the sun was shining because the temps were bitter cold! I think the high was 25 and it was colder than that on the top of the mountain.

IMG_7915

Samantha got her ski legs back right away and was zooming down the mountain right away. No surprise! The other girls were a bit more beginner but they kept up just fine…

IMG_7914
IMG_7920

By mid-morning the cold had gotten to Samantha’s toes and she was miserable and teary. We stopped for hot chocolate and some toe warmers. As I’m kneeling down in all my ski gear to try and get her boots off and toe warmers on, she managed to knock over her hot chocolate and it spilled….all over me. All over me and my white ski pants and into her boot. Good times. But, we got it all cleaned up, wiped away some tears (hers not mine), and got on with our day!

IMG_7929

Samantha can get down the mountain fast so there was a lot of waiting at the bottom for her friends to make it down…she preferred to wait like this! h a!

IMG_7933

We then stopped at the yurt at the Stein Erickson for lunch and it was just right! Could these girls be any cuter??!!

IMG_7935

Then it was back for some more skiing….

IMG_7943
IMG_7946

until it was hot tub time!

IMG_6386

when these crazy girls also did this! Brrrr!

IMG_7948

That night the girls stayed in with mexican food while the parents went to eat at the Montage. A top day start to finish!!
