summer baseball

June 24, 2026

Spencer decided to play SBC summer baseball. While he really wanted to pitch and play centerfield, he ended up having to catch all summer because they didn’t have a catcher. Definitely not what he wanted to do in the 90 degree heat but he was a good sport about it and played fantastic at catcher. He also got to play some short stop and third base. He’s definitely a player you can put anywhere and know he’ll make the play! Unfortunately I think he only got to pitch 2 or 3 games but we did get a few pics of it…

The team lost more than they won and we spent a lot of time on the road driving to Bowers Park in Tuscaloosa. But, he got to hang with Chapel, Reed, and Mahlon and that made it all pretty fun!

I’m really proud of Spencer for his hard work and good attitude. He’s a great teammate.

Go Spartans and Go Spencer!

MBC Magic

Samantha agreed to do swim team even though she’s not around for much of the summer. She made the most of the first few weeks though! She made it to the mock meet, a home meet and the meet this week at VSA. She killed it at all three coming home with some 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place ribbons!!

Home meet versus Jasper where MBC Magic ended up winning by 2 points!

Away meet at VSA…

In between the meets she even earned Swimmer of the Week!!

Super proud of my swimmer!

Soccer tryouts

June 3, 2026

Soccer wrapped up with May Madness where the girls ended up in second place! Woohoo! In the final game, black played white so that was fun for all of Pool B to be on the field together.

Post tourney pool party!

The girls also had soccer tryouts for next year…

Samantha, Jane and Lila all ended up on the 3rd team – N1 – with Coach Ike. I think that is exactly where she should be so we’re excited about another fun year of soccer! GOOOAAALLLL!

Tennis

June 2, 2026

Wrapping up spring tennis and what a fun season it was! Samantha went up for Barry’s clinics once a week and had fun playing with her besties. I played 5.0 soft court and 3.5 USTA. Our USTA team was undefeated and won our division! Headed to state in June!!

Mother daughter queens in the same week!

We ended the season with the spring Member Guest Tournament. Caron and I played together and while we didn’t technically win, I’m gonna crown us champs! There were two team significantly better than everyone else that battled it out for the real crown, but Caron and I came in right behind them so I’m going to say we won the “non-pro” division! ha!

Most importantly, we looked cute in our matching fits!

Love love!!

Showcase

May 12, 2026

Samantha had her dance recital last week on Thursday night and I’m trying not to be sad that that is very likely her last recital ever! Dance is coming to an end and I sure am going to miss getting to see her smile on stage every year! She went out with a bang though…a neon green bang!

I was very proud of my bun again…her thick hair is a lot to manage but I think it was our best one yet!

Samantha also wanted some dramatic eye makeup and I think I did pretty good on that too!

My pretty, pretty girl!

Her class was not performing until the 3rd to last act of the second half of the show so we decided we had plenty of time to go to dinner before hand! What fun!
