Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Spencer went on a field trip to the space and rocket museum up in Huntsville last week. He said it was a pretty cool trip!
The kids also had the book fair…where we purchased one book and this “best friends” pencil. I’ll be glad when my book fair days are over!
See you tomorrow
Last week the school had a 1 mile fun run. It was a beautiful day and both Spencer and Samantha participated – I think they mainly did it so they could get out of running the pacer in PE but, hey, works for me! They were supposed to wear their house colors…
Maxwell and some fellow scouts earned some really hard service hours “helping” at the race….
Pretty sure both Spencer and Samantha walked most of the way…
and Samantha was definitely in it for the treat afterward!
A fun afternoon!

Love to watch them grow!
We never properly celebrated Maxwell’s birthday back in August…so why not do it in November?! I booked a hibachi chef to come to the house and cook for him and a crew of friends outside. Of course I had to make it a little themed and decorated!
Even my drinks were on theme!
The birthday boy was too busy for a pic but this guy wasn’t!
The chef was great, the food was fantastic and it was the best way to celebrate Maxwell!
Happy belated birthday to my favorite 14 year old!
Last week the kids were out of school on Monday for Veterans Day so I took Spencer and some of his buddies to Activate…I can be the fun mom sometimes!
Maxwell actually went to Activate with some friends too and also played bartender at his friend’s sister’s birthday party!
Samantha had a friend spend the night and also got to do a little pre-Christmas wish list making up at the tennis shop! Lots of Lululemon on her list!
Gonna be a great week!
