Raiders

November 15, 2023

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!

costume fun

October 30, 2023

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….

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!
