Veterans Day

November 12, 2025

I meant to post this yesterday but better late than never! We had a wonderful 5th grade Veterans Day program at school last week and were so proud to honor our veterans in the slideshow:

Guy Willis, Army, Bugle Sergeant (discharged in 1919). Pictured 3rd from the right. Great Great Grandfather to Maxwell, Spencer and Samantha Brown.

John Beard Keath, Flight Lieutenant in the Army Air Corp (discharged in 1945). Great Grandfather to Maxwell, Spencer and Samantha Brown.

veteran
John Watt Keath, Sergeant in the Air Force (discharged in 1973). Great Uncle to Maxwell, Spencer and Samantha Brown.

This program continues to be my very favorite one that the school does. It is so meaningful and patriotic! Samantha did an excellent job in her speaking part…

and the whole grade put on a wonderful show!

It was a beautiful day to celebrate our Veterans and some pretty cute 5th graders!

Proud to be an American!

Concert

Last week and few friends and I took a cute group of girls to see Ellie Holcomb at Samford. They all looked adorable in their concert fits!

The show was great and it was a fun Thursday night out!

Love these silly girls!

dinner

Maxwell seems to always have plans these days, but we can still get these two out to dinner with us on a weekend night every once in a while!

We made it to Bottega and I’m not sure which was better – the food or the company? All A+++!

More football

November 7, 2025

For two of the games this season I had a professional photographer take picstures and he got some great shots of Spencer!

7th grade MTB Football vs Clay-Chalkville 2025

This was an awesome pass breakup by 38!

Get in there Spence!

Sideline break!

Spencer holding on to that one foot to take him down!

Go Spence go! The photographer also came to the game where Spencer was captain. Love these shots!

He also got some fantastic action shots of my lock down corner!

When he grabs on, he’s not letting go!

Look at him in the bottom of that pile!

Spencer Brown…

with the tackle!

Halftime break!

Back at it!

Love this play by play…

I love this kid.

What a season! So proud of Spencer and the entire 7th grade Spartan team. Go Spartans go!

Spencer’s football season wrapped up two weeks ago and what an awesome season it was! He worked so hard and earned a starting spot on that team and proved himself to be the first string cornerback over and over again. I was so proud of his hard work and persistance! Practices started all the way back in June in the heat…

and continued every afternoon once school started. At first Spencer worked out at the quarterback position but then it became evident that another boy had that positioned locked up so he pivoted, gave DB a try, and found the perfect spot for him – just like his big brother! He was an aggressive and reliable cornerback all season long. He made incredible tackles and played his position so well! Let’s go 38!

The season started with the Spartan Day scrimmage…

and continued through 8 or so games. The team did well but was also plagued by injuries – they lost their quarterback after game 3 and several other players were sidelined by halfway through the season. If they had been able to keep everyone in the game, I think they really could have had a winning season.
