There were two photographers there during the game so we got some great pictures!

Unfortunately, the game didn’t go our way. The Jets – who we had beaten twice before! – scored in the second quarter and got the extra point so it was 7-0 going into the half. We finally scored in the 4th quarter and went for 2 to try and win but…no luck. We lost 7-6. Such a bummer but I am so incredibly proud of Spencer and how well he handled himself not only in that game but the whole season. He was a strong leader for the team and made some fantastic plays.

Spencer was a Raider this year. His team was a bit of an unknown at the beginning of the season because we just didn’t know a few of the kids on his team but…man, it turned out to be a great season! He had the absolute best team of young guy coaches that were so committed – 6 coaches that all showed up to every single practice and game! He had a fantastic group of boys that really worked together and got along. Of course, the Raiders were the luckiest because they had the best QB in the league – Spencer Brown!

Had a little bit of a bum ankle for part of the season but he fought through.

They had a winning season – only lost 2 games and ended the season as REGULAR SEASON CHAMPS! Woohoo!! They lost once to the Bills and then got blown out once by the Saints. No one is quite sure what happened in that Saints game but I know why they lost – I was out of town. Spencey just didn’t play as well without me cheering him on from the sidelines! ha! Overall it was such a fun season with way more Ws than Ls!

The best part was watching Spencer step up and be a leader on his team. He’s so poised on the field and never gets frazzled. He made some amazing completed passes this season which is pretty rare for 5th grade. He called the plays and motivated his team and was just generally awesome all season. So so proud of him.

The Raiders had an easy win over the Saints in the first round of the playoffs and then beat the Vikings in the second round to make it to the Super Bowl!

Boo Bash is today, Halloween is tomorrow, spooky-ness is all around!! Maxwell got into the spirit last week when he went with the scouts to do some service hours with Camp Smile-A-Mile. I was pretty impressed with what he did with an eye black stick!

On Wednesday we went up to Robert’s office Halloween party. Samantha decided to just be a cat but couldn’t resist the rainbow wig…

Robert and I then played in a Halloween tennis mixer on Thursday. We might have only taken home second place in tennis, but we were definitely the gold medal winners of the night!! Bela Karolyi only produces champions you know….
