More 9th football

November 21, 2025

I got a photographer to come to the 9th grade game versus Briarwood. It turned out to be a really exciting game that even included a weather delay! But, the Spartans saw it through to a huge win. Maxwell played the whole game and had some awesome plays.

The best was this fantastic pass breakup. I hate that #11 is in the front of the shot because it was awesome!

Spartans were trailing at the end of the 4th and had a chance to score on 3rd down but didn’t make it. There was 1 second left on the clock and the QB threw for a TD and we scored! SO exciting! Our awesome kicker then kicked a field goal to win the game! Talk about exciting!

9th football

November 20, 2025

Maxwell had another great season of Spartan football! The 9th grade team started in the summer with hot practices and then started going before school every day. It was a long season of very early morning wake up calls for 6am practices at the high school. They then stayed and had strength for first period and then took a bus to the junior high. Everyone was tired but it was worth it.

The season started with Spartan Day…

The boys also got breakfast at school on game days…

Their team had an awesome season overall! Maxwell started the season strong as the starting cornerback.

About halfway through the season, the coach switched things up and started another kid each week. We really couldn’t figure out why as Maxwell had been playing great and rarely let anyone get by him. But, that’s football and I was proud of how Maxwell handled the disappointment.

The final game of the season was super exciting! Spartans were down by 21 at halftime and came back to win the game in double overtime! What an incredible way to end the season! GSG!

I did get a photographer to come to one of the games so will share those tomorrow. It was a good season for #29 with some frustrations, plenty of playtime, and a whole lot of hardwork. I am so proud of my cornerback!

Go Spartans and go Maxwell!

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!

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!

IMG_5506

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!

IMG_5579

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!

Robert and I walked around without kids, chatted with a few people and then realized we’d much rather be at home! ha!

IMG_5589

That night everyone (plus a few others) were home safe and sound with plenty of candy!

A great Halloween of all treats, no tricks!

Rain Rain

October 30, 2025

Rain rain go away! It’s been raining for days and the dreary, wet weather is a bummer. But, it’s not so bad when you have a cute purple raincoat!

Hoping for a dry Halloween tomorrow!
