Birthday football

October 10, 2023

We celebrated Robert’s birthday last week at – where else? – the football field! Spencer had a game that night and played his heart out! He threw for 3 completed TD passes including one 30 yard TD pass with 6 seconds left on the clock before the half. The Raiders took home a big win! Pretty sure there was nowhere else Robert wanted to be that night!

We did get him a few presents and some cake to celebrate too!

Steelers

October 5, 2023

After a Thursday night football game, Friday night in Montgomery, and two football games on Saturday morning (one cheering and one playing), the boys hopped on a plane and flew to Houston for Maxwell’s birthday trip! They indulged in a nice steak dinner complete with very decadent desserts – the birthday boy deserved it!

On Sunday they headed to the Steelers v. Texans game! Excited to see Minkah and Najee play!

The only hitch to the trip was the super delayed return flight that didn’t get them home until midnight. But, Robert said these boys handled it like champs and it was an awesome trip all around.

Love making memories with these boys.

Adventure

September 26, 2023

While I was home watching Spencer show off at football and Samantha show off at tumbling, Robert and Maxwell were rafting down the Chattahoochee! Robert very nicely agreed to go on the Scout campout with this crew (plus a few others not pictured)…

They said the rafting was fun but too short. Next time they should do the more adventorous route.

They then camped out with only a few shenanigans from the boys.

The real adventure came on the drive home. Robert was about 2 hours from Birmingham driving GJ’s Escalade – the Escalade that got a new battery and alternator just about a month ago – and the power steering went out, then the AC failed, then all the electronics went black. Not good at all. Robert pulled over and they managed to squeeze all of the boys into the cars of the other two dads on the trip. Robert then got to sit on the side of the road for two hours waiting for the wrecker to get there from Birmingham. He was very glad to see Courtney pull up in his pink wrecker!!

Robert then got to make a new friend in Courtney on their two hour drive back to Birmingham. ha! I met him at the Cadillac dealership where we dumped the car for them to deal with. Always an adventure!! I’m so thankful for Robert’s good nature and calm demeanor – both on the campout and on the trip home! We’re so lucky to have him.
