Last week and few friends and I took a cute group of girls to see Ellie Holcomb at Samford. They all looked adorable in their concert fits!
The show was great and it was a fun Thursday night out!
Love these silly girls!
Concert
dinner
Maxwell seems to always have plans these days, but we can still get these two out to dinner with us on a weekend night every once in a while!
We made it to Bottega and I’m not sure which was better – the food or the company? All A+++!
Super Bowl
Samantha got to make her second Super Bowl appearance to cheer! First for the Jets in 2022 and now for the Vikings!
Thankfully the football moms handled everything and all I had to do was bring cookies for after the game!
The setup was great and the girls were excited!
It had been raining all day but thankfully there was a break in the weather for the 4:00 game! It was dreary, cold, and wet but not raining!
The girls nailed their halftime performance with jumps, a cheer and tumbling. Samantha threw her tuck like she’s been doing all season! The Vikings nailed the game too and won! Super Bowl champs!
I just love to watch her do what she loves. So proud of my little cheerleader!!
Go Vikings! Go Samantha!
Cheer
Samantha did rec cheer again and had such a fun season! I was the cheer mom again and we had the cutest group of cheerleaders. They really tried to up the program this year and had Sunday practices with varsity cheerleaders teaching the girls cheer. The majority of girls on our squad are deep in cheer working toward 7th grade tryouts so they are basically experts and killed it at their halftime show each week!
Wearing her uniform to school for Spartan Day!
Samantha cheered for the 5th grade Vikings so got to cheer for lots of boys in her grade which made it even better. Ready for the first game!
Keeping them focused on the sideline was sometimes a challenge (ha!) but they sure were enthusiastic and always cute!!
We adopted Jane as our “water girl” and she came to every game!
Look at this professional cheerleader! Love her so much.
We also picked up a little sister of a boy on the Vikings. 🙂
The Vikings had a great season and sailed through the playoffs. I’m sure it was because of the awesome run-through I made and the cool player gifts the girls handed out…
Go Vikings!
Super Bowl bound!!
Halloween
We had the best Halloween! Perfect weather, a Friday night, and more candy than we can eat. Check check!
I wasn’t sure I would see Maxwell again that day so I made him take a picture before he left for school at 6:45am!
but I did get a picture of him with the pumpkin he carved the night before!
I did manage to grab a porch pic of Samantha and Spencer before they went off in separate directions!
Samantha was my glittering gold in her Laughs a Lot Care Bear fit!
Spencer and Maxwell then went off to Crestline to watch the parade and meet up with friends for the night. Samantha and I went to meet up with the rest of the Care Bears and get a prime spot for the parade!
These girls had full bags by the time the parade was over!
They dumped their bags and headed to Kate’s for a quick bite to eat and then they trick-or-treated in our neighborhood and Colonial Hills all night. We grabbed a quick photo booth photo and then I didn’t see Samantha again until I picked her up at 8:30! She did manage to find the photo booth a few more times though!
Spencer and Maxwell found crews of friends and had fun in Crestline…
Robert and I walked around without kids, chatted with a few people and then realized we’d much rather be at home! ha!
That night everyone (plus a few others) were home safe and sound with plenty of candy!
A great Halloween of all treats, no tricks!
