Happy birthday to me!
Grateful to turn another year older with my favorite people!
birthday
It’s Robert’s birthday today!!!!!!
He goes on the campouts, he cleans the garage, he has a file folder for everything. He also started a new job last month and has been working super hard. We are incredibly proud of him, love him so much, and think he’s just the best.
Happy birthday Robert!
SKB
Bringing you some sass on a Thursday.
Make it a great day!
Soccer weekend
While the boys were sleeping in a tent, the rest of us were playing in a soccer tournament! Well, Samantha was playing and she played hard! They had their first game early Saturday morning in the drizzly, gross weather. The Spirit took care of business though and won 6-4!
They then had another game after lunch and played so hard but the game ended in a tie – 2-2.
That was enough to land them the first place seed in the tournament though! They played Sunday afternoon and had to (yet again) face the Lightning Lions. They played SO hard and the score was 0-0 all the way until the last 3 minutes of the game and then the Lions got a goal. Bummer.
The girls went home as runners up which they were none too pleased with. I however am so pleased with and proud of my little striker. She hustles and plays hard. Go Samantha go!
In addition to soccer, we also watched some football this weekend. When you’ve played two soccer games already that day and the football game is still going on at 10pm, you might end up like this despite the excitement on the screen!
Also, the headphones are because Robert and I were yelling at the tv too loudly! ha!
Roll Tide and Go Spirit!
Scout stuff
Lots of Scout stuff since the school year started!
Climbing merit badge!
Maxwell is serving as Senior Patrol Leader this semester which means he leads all meetings. He’s really so good at it and is a natural up there!
August campout at Scout Mountain – lead by Robert!
Court of Honor where both boys were recognized for the MANY merit badges they earned in the last semester as well as for rank achievements – Spencer earned Tenderfoot and Maxwell earned Life! Maxwell also earned the camping portion of the Outdoor Award.
This past weekend both boys went on the September campout. It was a rafting campout and it was a little touch and go with Hurricane Helene making its way through! But, the campsite was fine and the river was flowing and the boys had a great time. Spencer went up with the group on Friday afternoon and Maxwell joined Saturday morning. Because he’s still 11, Spencer had to kayak the Hiawassee but Maxwell got to raft the Ocoee.
I am so incredibly proud of these boys.
