Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
We sure did love having GJ and Daddo in town for the Super Bowl two weeks ago!
Samantha also got to Dance with the Dorians on the day of the Super Bowl! Similar to what she did with the cheerleaders, she went to an all day clinic where she learned a dance and got to perform it. I missed the performance because of the game but GJ, Lou Lou, and Susan got to see her dance it out!!
My dancing star!
Woohoo! The kids are on the way to being fully vaccinated! They got their first covid vaccine last week at Publix and I felt a sweet sense of relief wash over me.
What a trial these kids have been through the past 20 months. The masks, the fear, the worry…all gone now thanks to a little shot.
Thank you science!
On the day after Super Bowl Sunday the boys got to wear their Super Bowl shirts to school. Each one had the names of the kids on the team that played for their grade. Pretty neat!
Of course Maxwell was sure to tell Spencer that he couldn’t hold up a #1 because his team didn’t win. Brotherly love.
There were a lot of football posts last week so let’s start this week off with a good dose of Miss Smiley!
Make it a great week!
Back to the Super Bowl! Maxwell’s game was at 4:00 on Sunday afternoon and Raider Nation was ready!!
We were all excited for the big game!
True to form, the Raiders got it done with a huge win! Maxwell played great and even busted up a pass play that was a big turning point in the game. Woohoo! These guys earned those championship trophies!
I am incredibly proud of my Raider. It was also a pretty proud moment to get a text from one of his coaches that said: “I wouldn’t tell any of the other kids this but Maxwell was my favorite one to coach. He came prepared every day and did what he was told with no complaints. You guys have raised a good one.” Man…that just makes me burst with pride. Maxwell later got this note from his coach:
Pretty cool to find out that Maxwell led the league in interceptions this season! Wow! I’m so so proud of this kid.
What a team! What a game! What a season!! Raider Nation!
A little pause in the football recap to honor our veterans! Yesterday the 5th grade at MBE put on their Veterans Day program and it was fantastic. They honor all the veterans in the kids’ families in a slideshow and then the kids sing patriotic songs and honor each branch of the military. We are so proud of all of Maxwell’s veterans:
Guy Willis, Army, Bugle Sergeant (discharged in 1919). Pictured 3rd from the right. Great Great Grandfather to Maxwell Brown.
John Beard Keath, Flight Lieutenant in the Army Air Corp (discharged in 1945). Great Grandfather to Maxwell Brown.
John Watt Keath, Sergeant in the Air Force (discharged in 1973). Great Uncle to Maxwell Brown.
The program was great. Maxwell got to carry in a flag in his scout uniform…
and then took his place on stage for the rest of the performance.
As I have learned through the years, Maxwell is not made for the stage! He has the amazing ability to sing without even moving his lips!! haha! Regardless of his (lack of) stage presence, it was a wonderful day that made you very proud to be an American!!
God bless the USA!
