Titans

November 12, 2024

As we all know, sports can bring some high highs and some low lows. After an awesome season last year making to the Super Bowl with the Raiders, this season was a little different. The Titans didn’t make it to the Super Bowl…in fact, they didn’t win a game all season. Whomp whomp. While they might not have brought home any Ws, they played their hearts out, had some really close games, and held their heads up high. Spencer again showed leadership and poise as the quarterback and made some fantastic plays throughout the season. They played well but games just never seemed to go our way in the end.

The playoff game was a heartbreaker. The Titans were leading for a while and then it was tied up until the very end. Unfortunately, Spencer took a cleat to the face – literally his teammates cleat went through his facemask and cleated him in the face! He took another hard hit to the head and the trainer pulled him from the game. I hate that he didn’t get to finish out the 4th quarter on the field. The game ended up going into overtime and the Titans lost. But, they gave it their all. Most importantly, Spencer didn’t have a concussion and the cut on his face healed up fine.

There’s plenty to learn in losing. While I wish the season had gone differently, I’m incredibly proud of how Spencer handled himself as well as the heart and hustle he put into each game. I love to watch him play!

You win some, you lose some. Or maybe you don’t win any at all some seasons!

Go Titans!

Halloween

November 4, 2024

We had a fantastic Halloween! The weather was perfect, even if a little warm. All the kids went different directions with their friends but I did manage to still get a porch pic of all three together which was all I wanted!

Samantha was a “Boss Girl” with 3 of her friends. I’m not real sure what they were supposed to be but I do know they sure were cute!

Of course Samantha’s favorite part of the costume was the fake fingernails I let her get!

Spencer was a grandpa along with Henry and he made me laugh so hard in that wig!

Maxwell was Shedeur Sanders along with a huge group of his friends. He headed over to Crestline for the parade and I didn’t see him until I picked him up at 9:30! I did manage to still get lots of pics though. Hooray!

Samantha stayed around our neighborhood bopping from house to house with her friends collecting lots of candy!

Spencer stuck around our neighborhood and Colonial Hills.

Robert and I weren’t quite sure what to do with ourselves with no kids hanging onto us but we managed to make it juuuust fine!

Nailed this photo. ha!

Overall it was a great night – everyone stayed out of trouble and followed the rules and got LOTS of candy!

Happy Halloween!!

Boo Bash

Happy Halloween! We can’t wait for tonight but had the most fun day at Boo Bash yesterday! Spencer was feeling his age…

and his back was aching…

and he looked like the best grandpa ever! ha!

He went and helped with carpool with other 6th graders, including his fellow grandpa, Henry!

It was fun seeing everyone all dressed up!

Samantha was also ready to slay the day!

They said they were “girl bosses”…I don’t know what that means but I do know they looked cute!

I later went up to school and volunteered a shift and hung out with the kids during their parking lot time. Lots of games and rides, a little big of candy, and plenty of fun!

The teachers as traffic cones were pretty funny…

and the 5th grade teachers looked awesome!

Boo Bash success!

Now let’s go trick-or-treat!
