Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
We’ve been living next door for the past two weeks while we do a little work on our house. This was one of our first nights in the “new” place…
We even christened the place with a terrible case of the flu for Samantha. It was brutal and she was beyond pitiful but the worst is behind us, thank goodness.
Even with that I think we’re gonna be just fine here! Thanks GJ!
Samantha did rec cheer this year and had a fun time with her buddies. They were all about the halftime shows! Lots of fun, not very serious, and good practice for real cheer! A win win!
There was only one 6th grade cheer squad so they just cheered for all the teams – but mostly for the Texans. Well, the Texans made it to the Super Bowl so the cheerleaders got to go too!
The Texans played a good game but came up short. The cheerleader’s halftime performance stole the show anyway! Love these cheerleaders!
Samantha finished up her 6 weeks of ballroom and was the prettiest girl there each week – at least in my opinion!
Second week…
Third week…
Fourth week…
Fifth week…
And final week! We decided to make it special and took the girls to the club for dinner…
One final trip to Sugar…
And that’s a wrap on a great season of ballroom! I think Samantha loved getting dressed up, having dinner in the village with her friends, and even dancing with the boys!
Having a Saturday Halloween was the most fun – even if we did start the day bright and early with an 8am soccer game! But, we got a W so it was a good start for these soccer stars…
For Halloween night everyone went in different directions. I’m a little sad the days of precious porch pics are over. But, I did manage to snag this one of Spencer and Samantha before they scattered…
I was with Samantha all night so got lots of cute pics of her! Lots of poses all pretty in pink…with more comfortable shoes than Boo Bash!
We started out in Colonial Hills before heading over to our neighborhood…
Robert and I made it out and got to visit with friends…
while the boys were out with their friends all over town!
It was fantastic weather and a great night all around!
All treats, no tricks!
Happy Halloween 2026!
The Halloween fun started on Friday with Boo Bash at school! Samantha decided early on what she wanted to be and she nailed it!
What, like it’s hard?!
Best Elle Woods ever!
It was then off to the most fun day of non-stop fun at school!
I loved helping with the 6th grade pizza lunch…
and then off to the parking lot party!
Best teacher costumes!
Photobooth at the end of the day with the backdrop falling down…perfect way to end our last Boo Bash ever. ha!
After school we headed out to watch the parade…
Best day before Halloween ever!!
