Ladies Day

A couple of fellow basketwives, (Heather and Reggen) and their daughters drove in from Belgium to have a "ladies day" with me and my girls. We decided to have a day of lunch and play in the center of Amsterdam. We had lunch at The Hard Rock Cafe. The girls really enjoyed each other's company and got along perfectly...with that, we ended up spending several hours at the restaurant. We took lots of pix and left quite a mess, I'm sorry to say. Needless to say...all eyes were on us in our corner booth. Lol! Afterwards we had planned to go to the indoor playcenter that we had Nye-Nye's birthday party at, but it was closed for some reason? So, we ended up back at our place....the kids hung out in the playroom, had snacks and popsicles. Like the saying goes....time goes fast when your having fun and soon the ladies were back on the road and headed home. I'm the only wife on the Amsterdam team so it was really nice to have some in person girl talk. Everyone's season is also coming to an end so it was good to get together before our summer vacations. Ania, Aniah and I really had a great ladies day!

Play-off!

Our basketball season officially came to an end on Sunday when we lost our second game in the playoffs. We played against Bergen op zoom with the ending score of 74-78. It was a close game, in fact we were winning 74-72 with just 28 seconds in the game! I just knew we had won, but nope they got us again. The game was very exciting and intense, but Alton lead the team, played strong and had 20 points.
This season has been a bitter/ sweet one....we finished in 7th place for our regular season, we made it to the cup finals, Alton made the all-star team,  Alton was one of the leading scorers in the league, and ends the season as the 6th player with the most steals.

You know we always give our God the glory and praise for what he has done for us and will do for us because all things are possible through Him. We pray for a safe trip back home and we thank Him for blessings us with the opportunity for Alton to play in Amsterdam this season. We pray for his vision and guidance for the next basketball season and we wish all the best to the teams that continue to play in the playoffs....may the best man win!

32

On April 21st I turned 32 years of age. Thank you Jesus! I feel better than I've ever felt and I'm learning more than I've thought. My family gave me a party at home and  made me a cake. The day of, my Hubby woke me up to breakfast in bed, champagne and pink daisies. He later took me out to dinner, which was very nice. Alton normally gets me a new handbag for my birthday which I'm still deciding on. Gosh, there are so many nice ones out there, it makes it hard, but you gotta love fashion, right?!:)
Like always, we seem to celebrate longer than just the birth day...we went to dinner at one of our favorite jamaican restaurants with the Spencer's, as it was also Keith's birthday, AJ had a school talent show and it is also playoff time so everyday has been exciting.I thank the Lord for blessing me with another year on this earth and I pray for many more years of good health and happiness to come!:)

He's Got Talent!...(AJ and friends in his school talent show.) The crowd screams "AJ" throughout the entire performance! He's very social and popular at school, while getting good grades. Alton and I are very proud of him and feel so blessed to have him as our son. We hope you enjoy the video...

All-Star

Alton made the All-Star team north. We appreciate your votes and prayers, and in the end it was the votes of the coaches that qualified him. The kids really enjoyed the festivities at the gala, but unfortunately we lost by 2. The ending score was 103-105.
