Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
I was gone Tuesday through Thursday of last week for work and Robert and Susan held down the fort with no problems at all! Spencer and Samantha went to Apple and had fun…
and then got to have Friday play day with Mrs. Susan!
Maxwell had Samford basketball camp all week and loved it!
He had his BFF, Jack, on his team and their team won their division championship!! Woohoo!
I sure did miss them all but I think they were all having too much fun to miss me!
Thank goodness it’s SUMMER!!
Make it a great day!
Maxwell finally had his last day of school last Thursday!
Didn’t change that much from the first day yet also changed a ton…and lost 3 teeth!
He had a great year. He got straight +s on his report card and nothing but absolutely GLOWING reports from his teacher. I’m not sure anything in first grade was super challenging to him so hoping we can up the game a bit in second grade. His BFFs are Andrew and Jack and he’d much rather be playing sports all day than sitting in class! ha!

Off he goes to his last day as a first grader…
I’m so proud of Maxwell and don’t know what I did to get a kid as good as him. Here’s to a fantastic summer for a fantastic kid!
Field day is, for sure, one of the best parts of school! Like last year, Maxwell got decked out in his class color. We even had all the boys in his class over to our house in the morning before school so they could all get their hair sprayed and face painted together!
The GREEN GOBLINS…
Excuse me, the MEAN GREEN GOBLINS!
Off to school!
His class, all green and mean!
On the field, ready to compete!
Of course it all culminates in the Tug of War!!
Green won 2 of the 3 battles!! Go GREEN!
Such a cute class and such a fun day!
Go Green Go!
In the last two weeks of school Maxwell came home one day saying he had won a leadership award. I was obviously very proud but assumed it was something in just his class. The I got two texts from other moms congratulating Maxwell on his big recognition! huh?! So, I emailed this teacher and found out that he had won the Lancer Leader award! Any teacher or student can nominate someone and then there is a group of 6th graders that review all of the applications and select the winners. As Mrs. Liddle said, “I nominated him but most of the school knows how special he is!” Have you ever heard anything better?! I clearly think he’s the most special of all but I love hearing that others think so too! 🙂
During the ceremony he was asked to announce the service project for first grade and Mrs. Liddle got this pic…
and then he won the Lancer Leader award! He was the only first grader that got it. There isn’t necessarily one per grade – in fact, the librarian told me that not every grade had a Lancer Leader this year. Such an awesome accomplishment for Maxwell!!
I’m so so proud of my Lancer Leader!
