Happy Birthday to me!
Wish we were back in the Bahamas…though I am somewhere really fun today! 😉
Steelers
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!
They then made it to their seats and realized they had club level! Pretty baller!
Even more baller? Theses seats on the front row of their section! Whoop whoop!
Nice view!
This is the best view. 🙂
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.
Birthday
He’s our favorite and it’s his birthday!
He does all the things and deserves all good things. He really is the best.
Robert, happy birthday from your 4 biggest fans! We love you!
Adventure
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.
Paintball
Maxwell had a pretty awesome 13th birthday part at PIG – Paintball is good! We rented a van to take all of the boys out there. It’s in the middle of nowhere and is a very no fuss, no muss party. Perfect for 13 year old boys!!
Robert was a good sport and played too. He was a hot commodity! All of the boys wanted “Mr. Brown” on their team! I’ll spare you the picture of the bullet wound on his belly – gonna be a while until that thing heals!! ha!
Maxwell had a great time with a really good crew of boys.
Thankful for 13 years with this kid.
Happy birthday Maxwell!
