"There's No Place Like Home..

...there's no place like home, there's no place like home!"

It's official. The basketball season is over. Now it's time to be magically transported back home. I can't wait.

Isn't it funny...

Isn't it funny that hair this big.........

Can squish down into braids this small?

(getting caught sneaking gummy bears at the game...)

Fellow Americans

Last night was the final game of the regular season for the Giants and they played at home. (and won, I might add!) At half-time they introduced none other than The Harlem Globetrotters! The Globetrotters will be performing in the arena on Saturday and they were there to promote their show. Kyran got to meet Aundre Branch and talk to him for a few minutes. He played college ball at Baylor in Texas. He tried to bait Kyran into playing a football game with him right there in the arena since Ky was wearing his football All-Star jersey from last season. Pretty funny and definitely qualified as a 'Belgian Highlight' for KJ.

Saying Good-Bye to the 4th Grade

It's official. It's over. Finished. Done. Final. Complete. Moving on. Kyran took his last 2 final exams this morning and he is now looking forward to 5th grade! Well, summer first, then 5th grade! He finished with flying colors. Kelley made him a promise that if he finished with all A's his Mommy would stay home in the fall so he could play football. I don't think he did too bad:

Spelling - 97%
Science/Health - 92%
Math - 97%
History - 95%
Language - 90%
Reading - Pass/Satisfactory
Penmanship - Pass/Satisfactory

Great job Kyran! You worked hard (well semi-hard - I only caught you daydreaming 4 or 5 times a day!!)

Antwerp Giants Win the Cup!

Congrats to Kelley and the Giants! Tonight they won the Belgian Cup! Next stop Play Offs! The game was broadcast on television so I tried taking a few pics. Ha! Here's my attempt at catching Kelley on Belgian National T.V.

Busted Mouth

Here is the link for another Antwerp Giants highlight reel. Kelley and team were playing against the number one team in the League - Charleroi. One of their players literally lost his mind. Watch closely, the Giants are in red and Kelley is number 13. He starts the tape with a steal and a layup. The Giants of course win this game. God don't like UGLY.

Happy Number 3!!

Kelley took KJ and Kori to see Spiderman 3 while Kruz and I made Kori's birthday cake and blew up balloons. Grandma Searls sent this ribbon in Kori's birthday card.

I tied balloons on the door so she'd be excited for her party when they got back from the movie.

Following in Mama's footsteps - loving the jewelry.

I have to distract her from going down and stealing the cheerleaders Pom-Pom's during Kelley's games. Now she has her own to take to the next home game.

Happy Birthday Dear Kori!!

Playoffs Here We Come!

Here's a few highlights. Check it out - it's mostly in Flemish but they interview Kelley near the end.
