Parent Child tournament

October 1, 2020

Last Sunday after Robert played in The Gam golf tournament all day Friday and Saturday, he got to play in the most important tournament on Sunday – the Parent Child Tournament! Check out these golfers ready to dominate the course!

They had a good time and, despite early warnings that carts might not be available, got to get a cart which led to much less complaining by the younger two members of the team and a much more enjoyable time for the older member of the team!

Spencer and Robert placed 11th which won him some money at the pro shop! Woohoo!

Proud of all of my golfers!

While the boys were golfing, Samantha and I hit up the pool one last time before it closes for the season.

The water was reeeeeeally cold but Samantha’s buddy Violet was there and they had a blast as always.

We followed it up with Sunday night dinner all together on the patio. The perfect ending to a fun weekend!

Flag and baseball

Not leaving Spencer out in the sports season – he’s playing flag football and fall baseball! Flag is pretty laid back but lots of fun…

He has a good baseball team this year with some buddies so we’re looking forward to games starting soon on the new turf fields! fancy!

The boys are also doing golf and tennis weekly…

and Samantha also does dance and tumble. What happened to enjoying the downtime of quarantine and promising to never be overscheduled again?! Oh well, these kids love to play so that’s what we’re doing!!

Happy Friday!

Soccer Star

Our soccer star Samantha is at it again! Scoring goals right and left at her soccer games!! She’s on a team this year made up of all friends and is loving playing soccer.

The team’s official name is the Blueberry Cupcake Sparkly Princess Unicorns! ha! Seems fitting when you see all the pink and purple on the field!

First game!

This girl hustles! She’s running all over that field, going after the ball every time to get it turned around and into that goal! So proud of her!

Second game!

Samantha scored 6 of the team’s 7 goals! She also did plenty of cartwheels on the field! ha!

Are you ready?

September 23, 2020

Are you ready for some football?! We are! We’ve been watching some top notch football around here the past few weeks. Maxwell is playing tackle football this year and it’s been so fun – for him to play and for us to watch! 4th grade tackle football is interesting because there is quite a disparity in size of the kids! Case in point…

That’s Maxwell in the black jersey in the middle! ha! Now, that photo is slightly distorted because of distance but, they do have one really really tall kid on their team!

The Raiders are now 3-o so they’ve had a great time winning. Maxwell has been playing lots and lots of defense and not as much offense as he’d like. But, he hustles at practice and does what he needs to do at games and he’ll earn his spot. He had some really strong tackles in last Sunday’s game! He might be small but he’s tough!

I have, not surprisingly, got into it and love watching the games. I just love to watch anything my kids play! If they love, I love it!

For the record, the team had those buttons made and they are a fundraiser for the high school cheerleaders. How could I not get one?!

I’m so proud of number 29 and love to watch him play!

Go Raiders!

Dancing!

August 27, 2020

Not only did Samantha start kindergarten on Thursday of last week, but she also went to her first dance class at a new place! She is so excited about dance this year because she is with some of her best buddies, Violet and Julia, and she gets to do ballet…
