Updates on MBB

Some updates on Maxwell…

He’s got allergies! Maybe he and Spencer aren’t so different after all! ha! After a really rough spring with itchy eyes and a terrible cough we finally took him up for testing and he’s basically allergic to all trees. Good stuff. He’ll start allergy shots soon!

He also has some new mouth hardware! He got an expander a few weeks ago. He’ll have this in for a few months and then get a round of braces to get everything aligned. I get to turn the key every day. More good stuff!

In more fun news, he’s taking his first golf lessons! He’s doing a morning golf camp this week and he sure does look the part!

Good stuff all around!! Have a great day!

snaggletooth!

I think when you lose your first tooth on St. Patrick’s Day it’s extra lucky, right?! Especially when you’re wearing a green shirt!

He was eating breakfast and it just came out! That thing was really loose!

The tooth fairy was nice and brought a $5 bill. Gotta love that “first tooth special” just like she did for Maxwell!

Falcons

As a fun treat for really no good reason (isn’t that the best?!) Robert took the boys to the Falcons/Cowboys game in Atlanta the weekend before Thanksgiving! This was their first NFL game and I think they had a great time!

Only downside? Seats facing the sun.

But a pretty good view regardless!

They also got to see their buddy, Max, who was at the game too.

What a fun day for these boys!

They loved it but, even after this awesome NFL experience, they still think college football rules! Roll Tide!

Soccer Star

Samantha had a great soccer season with the Red Hots! She was one of the few on the team that would actually get out there and hustle and score! She would go after that ball!

I was so proud of my little player. Not only did she play great but she looked pretty darn cute doing it too!  🙂

Weekend fun

On Friday night of last week Robert and Maxwell went on their cub scout campout. Thankfully it wasn’t nearly as cold as last year and they had pre-constructed tents to sleep in! Hardly roughing it at all!

(yes, that is the best picture I got from Robert!)

I decided to be nice and let the Bobbsey twins sleep with me back at home. Considering how pitiful I slept with the two of them in the bed I’m pretty sure I was the one roughing it! ha!

sleepover

On Saturday night, I took the kids to see the Kidz Bop concert! Well, I took 2 of my kids. Spencer decided to go to a birthday party he got invited to so Maxwell got to invite Jack to come with us. We met up with some friends before and everyone was excited…

We were up in the cheap seats but it was fine. The kids enjoyed it and everyone was dancing along in their seat…well, mostly everyone. 🙂

Samantha really didn’t like it when it got too loud in there though! ha!

My favorite line of the night was when she turned to me during one song and said excitedly, “Momma! Alvin, Simon, and Theodore sing this song!” Love her.

Can’t wait to take them all to a real concert someday!!
