November 7, 2025

For two of the games this season I had a professional photographer take picstures and he got some great shots of Spencer!

7th grade football

November 6, 2025

Spencer’s football season wrapped up two weeks ago and what an awesome season it was! He worked so hard and earned a starting spot on that team and proved himself to be the first string cornerback over and over again. I was so proud of his hard work and persistance! Practices started all the way back in June in the heat…

IMG_1668

and continued every afternoon once school started. At first Spencer worked out at the quarterback position but then it became evident that another boy had that positioned locked up so he pivoted, gave DB a try, and found the perfect spot for him – just like his big brother! He was an aggressive and reliable cornerback all season long. He made incredible tackles and played his position so well! Let’s go 38!

The season started with the Spartan Day scrimmage…

IMG_2456

and continued through 8 or so games. The team did well but was also plagued by injuries – they lost their quarterback after game 3 and several other players were sidelines by halfway through the season. If they had been able to keep everyone in the game, I think they really could have had a winning season.

Spencer also got to be captain for a game…

Of course Spencer’s cheering section was there as much as they could be…

and we all enjoyed hanging with friends and going to Waldo’s for dinner after the games a lot! ha!

We were all sad to see it end but Spencer had a great last game including a fumble recovery! Woohoo!

What fun watching #38 shine! GSG!

Super Bowl

November 5, 2025

Samantha got to make her second Super Bowl appearance to cheer! First for the Jets in 2022 and now for the Vikings!

IMG_5214

Thankfully the football moms handled everything and all I had to do was bring cookies for after the game!

IMG_5178

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!

IMG_5259
IMG_5264

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

November 4, 2025

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!

IMG_3153

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!

IMG_3170
IMG_3171

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!

IMG_3189

Look at this professional cheerleader! Love her so much.

We also picked up a little sister of a boy on the Vikings. πŸ™‚

IMG_4433

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…

Halloween

November 3, 2025

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!

IMG_5506

but I did get a picture of him with the pumpkin he carved the night before!

IMG_5475
IMG_3185

I did manage to grab a porch pic of Samantha and Spencer before they went off in separate directions!

IMG_5525

Samantha was my glittering gold in her Laughs a Lot Care Bear fit!

IMG_5522
IMG_5519

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!

IMG_5548

These girls had full bags by the time the parade was over!

IMG_5579

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!

Robert and I walked around without kids, chatted with a few people and then realized we’d much rather be at home! ha!

IMG_5589

That night everyone (plus a few others) were home safe and sound with plenty of candy!

A great Halloween of all treats, no tricks!
