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!

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.
