Soccer

May 5, 2026

This past weekend Samantha got asked to play up with a team a year older for a tournament in Nashville. Thankfully two of her buddies got asked to play as well so that made it a no-brainer! She got home from Alpine at 1:00 and we were on the road by 4:00 for Nashville. No rest for the weary! She was tired but we made it and were ready for the 9am game Saturday!

Samantha played AWESOME and scored three goals in the two games on Saturday! Woohoo! Of course, the most fun of soccer tournaments is the shopping in between games. ha! We headed to Cool Springs mall between games 1 and 2 for lunch…at the Cheesecake Factory (!)…and some squishy shopping.

We stayed in Brentwood and all of the games were in Franklin but after game 2, we headed into Nashville for some really good shopping at Green Hills Mall and dinner at Green Hills Grille! Can’t beat that! We had another morning game on Sunday and it was quite the match up…

No, that is not an optical illusion! She was tough…

But Samantha was tough too and dribbled around her many times! I was so proud of her! The girls ended up tying one game, winning one game, and losing one game. Samantha was a bit of a sore loser after game 3. “Can I take your picture?” Samantha – “no”. Jane – “You can take my picture!” haha!

Don’t worry, she came around!

Really proud of these girls. We then headed back home…but not without stopping to try Swig first!

Baseball tournament

April 30, 2026

The end of the season baseball tournament was in Atlanta…or Marietta…not nearly as fun as the beach trips Maxwell got to go on but I guess easier to get to. Robert went with Spencer and they had a fun Friday night at the Braves game!

They got killed in all three games but, that’s ok. Games are tough when you’re playing against kids twice your size!

Spencer had some good at bats, got to pitch and did awesome, and played CF.

I’m choosing to think this tournament – and frankly the whole season – was more about friendship than baseball. Spencer and his buddies had fun running around the hotel until late at night and making memories. I’ll take it!

Baseball

April 29, 2026

Spencer played baseball with Spartan Baseball Club this spring. Though not without its challenges, I’d say overall it was a good experience. He was a starter on the B team and got to play center field the majority of the season. He also got to pitch some (not enough!) and killed it on the mound each time. As Robert said, “he really does have a pitcher’s mentality” – he doesn’t get frazzled and doesn’t show much emotion. Steely Spencer! I didn’t get many great photos throughout the season but here are a few…

Soccer

April 22, 2026

Last weekend we drove up to Huntsville for a soccer tournament. The girls played hard but came up a goal short in the first game. We then headed to the mall to cool off! Nothing like lunch in the food court and a trip to Claire’s to pump you up!

IMG_1269

The second game was exciting and ended with a last minute goal by Samantha to win the game! Woohoo!

We were supposed to have to drive back on Sunday to play another game but the other team forfeited. Score! Proud of these girls!
