checkup

February 6, 2026

Took the kids for their checkup last week! I got no pictures of any of it but we did get good reports of healthy, growing kids!

Maxwell is 5’6 (28th %) and 125 lbs (45th %). Last year he was 5’3 and 100 lbs so he definitely had some good growth and gains!

Spencer is 5’2.5 (53rd %) and 97 lbs (37th %). Last year he was 5’1 and 89 lbs so a year of slower growth for him (but the year before he had grown 3 inches!)

Samantha is 4’6.75 (25th %) and 72 lbs (27th %). I don’t know what she was last year because I forgot to ever take her to her 10 year old checkup! oops!! But, two years ago she was 4’3 and 61 lbs so she’s grown almost 4 inches in 2 years which is great. Based on her %s I do think she’s going to have a case of the GJ and Lulu short syndrome! ha! Whatever height she is she’ll be just perfect! Samantha had to get 3 shots and a finger prick which she handled better than she has in the past. I’ll take it!

Rec bball

February 3, 2026

Both Spencer and Maxwell played rec basketball this year and had fun seasons. Neither team won a ton but they put forth good effort. Maxwell’s team was both 8th and 9th…and I didn’t go to many games because that’s just not cool. These pics all came from the team’s funny IG account!

That’s the end of rec basketball for Maxwell which is sad. Next year he gets to be a coach which will be fun!

Spencer’s team didn’t fare much better but he definitely showed his skills out there and put up lots of points all season! He got to be on a team with two of his besties so that made it extra fun.

Spencer actually tried out for an AAU team last weekend and made it. I’m not sure how that’s actually going to work with baseball but….we’ll see!

Weekend

January 26, 2026

We sadly didn’t get any wintry mix but we did have fun adventures!

Spencer and some buddies ended up at the boat show fishing for trout out of the tub!

What a catch!

Maxwell and his friends decided they were going to run a “half marathon” on Saturday morning? Ummm…what?! Only a 15 year old boy – who has never run more than 3 miles at a time – would think he can just go run 13 miles with no training. Well…he did it! He and his buddies ran 12.5 miles and I am very impressed!

TBD if he’ll be able to walk this week! ha!

Samantha had…an epic weekend. But we’ll recap that later! Have a great day!
