Chorus Concert and Art Show

In the beginning of the month, Brandon had his chorus concert. The theme was "On the Road Again" and they sang songs about different states. The chorus teacher did a fantastic job with the kids and the kids did a great job with the songs.
The art show was the same night as the concert. Wesley and Brandon both had fun finding their art pictures and showing them to us.

Monster Mini Golf

When Brandon was at the dinosaur show last weekend with Laila, Wesley and I got together with his friends, Kennedy and Olivia, from Ivy Hedge and their moms. We went to Monster Mini Golf and then they played games in the arcade area. The three of them are at separate schools this year but they still love getting together when we can.

Dinosaur Show With Laila

Brandon went to see a dinosaur show at Count Basie yesterday with his friend, Laila, from school and her grandmother. She got the tickets for her birthday and was allowed to choose one friend to go with her and one grown up so she chose Brandon as her friend. They also had tickets for the meet and greet so they got to see a lot of the dinosaurs from the show up close. Brandon's friend, Colin, was also at the show so they were excited to see him there too. After the show, Laila's grandmother brought them to dinner at the diner. Brandon came home from the show and dinner to tell us what a great time he had at the show. Her grandmother was nice enough to send me pictures from the day.

NIT Tournament

Monmouth University unfortunately did not make the NCAA tournament this year. They won their first game in the MAC tournament but lost their second game to Sienna which knocked them out. They did make the NIT tournament. We went to their first game on Tuesday since it was a home game. They played really well until the end when they fell apart and unfortunately lost. We did have fun seeing Justin Robinson play one last time. We also got to see him score his 2000th career point!

Last Basketball Game

Brandon had his last basketball game of the season the first weekend in March. After the game his coach gave out trophies to the kids. Brandon had a great basketball season. He had great coaches and really improved SO much with everything. He has really shown me that when you put your heart into something and give it your best you can succeed!
