Wax Museum

May 6, 2024

The third grade just completed their biography project and Robert and I got to go to the “wax museum” to see all of the historical figures! Samantha chose Anne Frank and I think she looked just perfect!

All of the students were around the auditorium and you had to push their button to make them talk! They then gave you their prepared speech all about the life of their chosen historical figure. Samantha did an excellent job speaking as Anne Frank! I was so proud of her!

She got to give the speech lots of time to anyone that stopped by…she did great each time!

Student Showcase

May 3, 2024

Spencer is at Camp Alpine this week with the 5th grade so he missed out but both Samantha and Maxwell were chosen by their teachers to represent their grade at the MB Student Showcase on Monday! Samantha’s booth was demonstrating a number line – people had to see how many times they could bounce the ping pong ball and then the students would plot it on a number line. I think the kids had plenty of fun bouncing the ball themselves!

Maxwell was giving his presentation on what it takes to be an investment manager. They were all given a job and they had to research the education and skills needed to get that job and what it would be like. I think Maxwell would make an excellent investment manager someday…and an even better CEO!

Proud of these two…and their brother too! Make it a great weekend!

Yard Goats

May 2, 2024

Spencer is on a new AA baseball team this season and he’s really enjoying it. He likes all of the boys and is getting to play lots and lots of baseball! He’s been first batter all season and has mainly played center field and catcher. He’s also pitched a few times. I’m hoping he gets to pitch even more because he can put it over the plate!

The best baseball spectators!

Two weekends ago when I went to Destin with Maxwell for baseball, Robert went to Mississippi with Spencer for a tournament! I think everyone had a really good time and the Goats played awesome! Pretty sure the highlight was the cool hotel pool with a lazy river!

They even managed to locate a Dick’s so Spencer could get a new belt since his current one was at home in his closet! Oops!

Spencer got nailed in the arm with a pitch but he’s tough.

Destin

May 1, 2024

To end the baseball season, the team played in a tournament down in Destin, Florida. Robert and I had to divide and conquer that weekend – I went to Destin while he went to Flowood, Mississippi! Yea, I think I won! 🙂 It wasn’t a bad place to spend the weekend…

The Spartan Black team played 2 games on Saturday and lost both. But, Maxwell pitched the majority of the second games and did fantastic!! Truly fantastic. I dare say he was the single bright spot in that entire game!

They played again on Sunday and it was an awesome game. They had to go to extra innings and ended up losing but they all walked away with their head held high knowing they had played a great game.

It was a fun way to end the season and a nice little adventure for me and my first buddy!

Great job this season, Maxwell! We’re so proud of you!

Regions Field

April 30, 2024

One cool thing that Maxwell got to do with Spartan Baseball Club was to go play at Regions Field where the Birmingham Barons play! I was at Spencer’s game that night so had to miss but Robert got to go and said it was really cool to see them all out there on that big field and up on the jumbotron!

A fun night!
