Weekend fun

November 18, 2025

We had a great weekend start to finish! Robert and I went out on the town Friday night to a casino party at the club. The company was awesome and I think Robert won big at the craps table!

On Saturday Spencer watched the game with friends while Maxwell and Robert got to go to Tuscaloosa for the game. While the tide didn’t roll the way we wanted, it was a beautiful day for some tailgating and football…

I stayed home and hung with these cute girls and got them up to church on Sunday to start practicing for the Christmas pageant!

Fun all around!

dinner

November 10, 2025

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!

7th grade football

November 6, 2025

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.

Spencer also got to be captain for a game…

Of course Spencer’s cheering section was there as much as they could be…

and we all enjoyed hanging with friends and going to Waldo’s for dinner after the games a lot! ha!

We were all sad to see it end but Spencer had a great last game including a fumble recovery! Woohoo!

What fun watching #38 shine! GSG!

Halloween

November 3, 2025

We had the best Halloween! Perfect weather, a Friday night, and more candy than we can eat. Check check!

I wasn’t sure I would see Maxwell again that day so I made him take a picture before he left for school at 6:45am!

but I did get a picture of him with the pumpkin he carved the night before!

I did manage to grab a porch pic of Samantha and Spencer before they went off in separate directions!

Samantha was my glittering gold in her Laughs a Lot Care Bear fit!

Spencer and Maxwell then went off to Crestline to watch the parade and meet up with friends for the night. Samantha and I went to meet up with the rest of the Care Bears and get a prime spot for the parade!

These girls had full bags by the time the parade was over!

They dumped their bags and headed to Kate’s for a quick bite to eat and then they trick-or-treated in our neighborhood and Colonial Hills all night. We grabbed a quick photo booth photo and then I didn’t see Samantha again until I picked her up at 8:30! She did manage to find the photo booth a few more times though!
