Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
I’ve been playing just a little bit of tennis over the past 6 months! My knee is still not 100% but I’m starting to think it never will be. But, it’s better than it was and I can play just fine. I do love my cardio tennis!
Samantha also played tennis this summer and fall. She’s in it for the fun game days and not the matches. I can’t blame her!
Love love!
Before Thanksgiving, Samantha and I had a fun dinner at the club for her tennis group! The 12u girls and their moms all got together to celebrate a great season…a season that Samantha was in just for fun and never played a single match! ha! But we’ll take any excuse for a girl’s night out!
Prom pose!
Sweet girls and fun moms!
Tennis is fun for all!
We wrapped up a fun season of fall soccer! It started with the travel tournament in Atlanta and then lots of fun regular season games and then more tournaments at the end! Samantha mostly played striker and center-mid and occassionally wing. She’s so good – I love watching her footwork and the way she can navigate the ball around the other players.
They even came out on top at the Birmingham Bash!
and got second place in the Hoover Tournament!
They even made it to a Legion game…
It’s been a great season with old friends and new friends. Thankful we got put on such a sweet team with some fun competitors!
I love watching Samantha play…
Way to go #52!!
I got a photographer to come to the 9th grade game versus Briarwood. It turned out to be a really exciting game that even included a weather delay! But, the Spartans saw it through to a huge win. Maxwell played the whole game and had some awesome plays.
The best was this fantastic pass breakup. I hate that #11 is in the front of the shot because it was awesome!
Spartans were trailing at the end of the 4th and had a chance to score on 3rd down but didn’t make it. There was 1 second left on the clock and the QB threw for a TD and we scored! SO exciting! Our awesome kicker then kicked a field goal to win the game! Talk about exciting!
Really proud of this whole team on a fantastic season!
Go Spartans Go!
Maxwell had another great season of Spartan football! The 9th grade team started in the summer with hot practices and then started going before school every day. It was a long season of very early morning wake up calls for 6am practices at the high school. They then stayed and had strength for first period and then took a bus to the junior high. Everyone was tired but it was worth it.
The season started with Spartan Day…
The boys also got breakfast at school on game days…
Their team had an awesome season overall! Maxwell started the season strong as the starting cornerback.
About halfway through the season, the coach switched things up and started another kid each week. We really couldn’t figure out why as Maxwell had been playing great and rarely let anyone get by him. But, that’s football and I was proud of how Maxwell handled the disappointment.
The final game of the season was super exciting! Spartans were down by 21 at halftime and came back to win the game in double overtime! What an incredible way to end the season! GSG!
I did get a photographer to come to one of the games so will share those tomorrow. It was a good season for #29 with some frustrations, plenty of playtime, and a whole lot of hardwork. I am so proud of my cornerback!
Go Spartans and go Maxwell!
