April 2017

On April 1, Mr. Bob and I came to your and your brother's first game playing on the same team.

Here is your warm up session.


I took a photo of you.


The thunder team lost 10 to 44, but you tried hard.  The other team had a really tall young boy.  I think he made at least 22 points.  Don't ever give up.

After the game we went for lunch at BJ's.  On our drive I told you that I was so proud of you for getting 4 "A's" this semester.  So I decided to split the money you will receive.  I gave you half, which was $20.00.  I will place $20.00 in your savings account.

So after eating lunch you, Zachary and  I went to The Game Shop.  You loaned your brother $5.00 so he could buy something and then you found something you wanted.  I paid the tax.

Here is you and Zachary shopping.

Your Thunder team lost 10 to 44, but you tried hard.  The other team had a really tall young boy.  I think he made at least 22 points.  Don't ever give up.

On April 8th Mr. Bob and I came to see you play.





 
I took this photo when we went to Wild Wings for lunch.    I bought you and your brother towels. 


On the 15th we game to see you play. 



Took a couple of photos.  We couldn't go to Denny's because you had other plans.

Will see you guys tomorrow for Easter.
I had told you and your brother that we had a surprise at our house.
It's a baby grand player piano.

You guys came over the next day.  It was Easter.




You really got into the piano with Mr. Bob showing you a few easy songs.



I didn't get to hide the eggs this year, but I did fill them with peanut butter chocolate eggs and peeps.  You don't like the marsh mellow eggs, but took them home.  Uncle Bruce will probably eat them.

Your brother asked me to get him  a pyramid for your dresser from Vegas and I did, but I couldn't find anything for your dresser so I gave you a camel with a baby that I got in Dubai.

.Plus the underwear by Ethika.  You now have three pairs.  One from Christmas, one you bought with your own money and now the one for Easter.




Mr. Bob trying to Put your brother's underwear on his head.





Looks like you are the same height as me!!

Zachary ate the top of the Easter cake!

I asked you to send me a photo of your camels.


On the 22nd we went to your 4th game.

Your brother hurt his ankle on Tuesday and is in a boot.  He will not be able to play the rest of the season.  You were not happy about that.  Your team "Thunder" has not won a game so far.  You told me & Mr. Bob that if your team doesn't win one game that you will never play basketball again.

You got the ball twice in this game and dribbled it down the side line and one time you were fouled on and had to take a couple of free shots.   


After the game we went to Denny's for lunch.  You did not want to eat anything there.  I said I would take you to In and Out Burger for takeout.  Your brother had a bet with Mr. Bob that he could not talk for 5 minutes.  No matter what Mr. Bob did or you did.  He made it and got $5.00.

You wanted some quarters from me to play a game.  You eventually ended up with $5.00 between me and Mr. Bob.  You won a couple of balls and some other things.


Waiting for some more money.


On the way to your house you put the two balls under your shirt and said..."Look I've got boobies!


See you next week.

Mr. Bob and I went to see you play on the 29th.  You were really playing great.  You didn't stay in one corner and started to move under the basket.  Your father said he would give you $20.00 if you scored.  He said money is a big motivator. You took a lot of shots and came so very close.  Finally you scored a three pointer.  It was really exciting.

You didn't bring your towel with you and I watched you wipe your face with your shirt.







See you in May.
