Luke’s basketball team ended the year today with a 4th place finish in the B team bracket…who cares, right?
Luke stole the ball in the final seconds of the first game today against a West Fargo team who has “special uniforms” for both the players and the fans and tossed up a fade away shot from the corner of the gym that went swish to win the game…HERO…Coach must have called that play…what a way to end the year!
What a treat…Our favorite basketball team and their coach were in Kindred today!
~FIELD TRIP~
Brynn was stalking the coach and the team with Mom’s iPhone…one picture was a keeper, the others were “obscure” which is nice for blurry!
Uncle/Coach…Jayne is watching you!
We love the Imperials and their coach!
These kids provide us with so much entertainment…free of charge…sometimes I think they could charge admission!
Tom Brady dreidel by Mark for our Patriot’s Fan, Luke
Peter Pan musical at Ben Franklin Jr. High. Mark, Jayne and Brynn sat on the edge of their seats and did not blink for two hours. They laughed from their bellies several times during the show, and when they met the characters in the school lobby afterwards…WOW…jaws to the floor as it is not every day you meet a celebrity.
Treats…Lots of treats cuz why not?!*
DQ…don’t mind if we do…after all, it feels like spring outside!
Mark ordered, “I’ll take an upside down or free blizzard.”
Confusion.
Mom explained to both the DQ worker and Mark that upside down or free is not a flavor.
Confusion, but Mark redirected to the birthday cake Oreo blizzard!
I’ll take tickets for the show…these kids provide us with so much entertainment!
Yep, the kid in the winter coat, stocking cap, mittens, snow boots and SHORTS at recess is our Luke
And the kid who dreamed up the essay “The World Would be Better if Gummi Bears were Life Sized” is our Luke
The World Would be Better if Gummi Bears were Life Sized
One day Johnny Mccoy, an astronomer, discovered a new planet. He decided to fly to that planet. Its name was Mc Planet. So he went to the Kennedy Space Center and asked for a space ship. When they said no he push the guy over and jumped into the spaceship. The keys were in the slot, and he turned them. BLAST OFF!!!
Mc Planet was 2 million light years away from Mars. The spaceship that Johnny stole from the space center was very fast, its top speed is 1 million light years per hour! So about 3 hours later he was on Mc Planet. Mc Planet was part red, part blue, and part pink. It also had big snowy mountains and caves. He decided to check the caves first.
OMG! There was a big, life sized, green, GUMMI BEAR!!! Johnny loves gummi bears. Johnny jumped on the gummi bear. First he took a big bite of its ear. It tasted so good. 10 minutes later that bear was gone. Johnny felt like he couldn’t eat another bite.
Just then he saw the most magnificent thing ever. A gummi bear cub. He named it Gummy. He was red. Johnny thought if he brought living gummi bears to earth he would be famous. So, he started a gummi bear round up.
There were two other cubs he put them in the space ship and Gummy and him started up the mountain. At the top there was a enormous hole in the ground. Inside there were at least 50 bears!!! 35 cubs and 15 adults. He wondered how he could get all of them to follow him. Johnny thought, Maybe if I could figure out what they eat then I could lure them with that.
He saw one of the bears digging in the ground. He picked it up and ate it. It was a gummi worm!?! Why would a gummi bear eat a gummi worm?
Gummy was digging for gummi worms. He used those to lure the bears. The bears were too fast. Johnny grabbed some tree branches and tied the to his legs with gummi worms. He picked up Gummy and skied down the mountain.
He hopped into the space ship. The gummi bears fallowed. VROOM!!!
When Johnny got back to Earth everybody was angry, but when they found out he brought a generation of life sized gummi bears they were delighted.He won a million dollars and a Nobel Peace Prize.
Don’t you think the world would be a better place with life sized gummi bears? I think it would.
He is one of a kind, always has been.
His essay has made it to “state”. To which our Luke stated, “I could win up to a 10,000 dollar scholarship with my essay…probably could have won if I would have tried to win.”
Whose kid?
He’s ours…all ours.
Luke analyzed the entire morning prior to the girls’ dance recital if dancing is a hobby or a sport.
He concluded hobby because everyone can dance.
Well, hobby or sport, doesn’t matter…adorable and entertaining matters!
Our dancers and their roses from Gramma and Bumpa…love!
It doesn’t matter what you call it, and it wasn’t pretty…
but we got the VICTORY!
4th straight National Championship

Why walk when you can SPIN and DANCE to your destination?
Why talk when you can ANNOUNCE all words with hand actions to accompany them?
Why wave a greeting when you can HUG a greeting?
Why stand when you can POSE?
Three years ago today, Jayne came spinning, dancing, announcing, hugging and posing her way into our family! Earlier this week, Jayne announced (with hand actions), “Today I am normal, but on my Gotcha day I am extra special.”
To which Caleb responded, “A family really HAS TO have sisters.”
Jayne, Mom disagrees with you because you are extra special EVERY day.
Caleb, I could not agree more.
Thankful, so thankful, for our handful that was perfected three years ago today.
