Joke:

Q:Do you know why I like bananas so much?

A:Because they have appeal. Get it? a peel

Yesterday . . .

I went to our LAST (sniffle) ice skating lesson. It was bring a friend day so it really wasn't a lesson. I brought Maxim. (Kirsten and Avery came over before this so we took them there! We got to watch a movie!) Since Kirsten and Avery didn't have partners, I was Kirsten's partner, and Rachel was Avery's partner. Maxim mad a friend at the ice rink, so his new friend was his partner.

When we came back to our house we finished the movie, and played hide and seek tag. Then we finished off the day with stuffed animal adventures!

Hope you feel better soon!

Bye!

Hi Jake!
Here's a picture I drew today of Slifer The Sky Dragon. Sorry, but the piece of printer paper I was drawing on was to small so I couldn't draw the rest of Slifer's wings or his front left.

And here is a tongue twister I think you're familiar with. Try saying it 3 times super fast!

Hi how are you?

Hi Jake its Sarah I hope you get better soon. Matthew said he had a fun time up there with you. When we were at the park on Friday I had to watch Rory. Two words for ya - fast kid. He's a little ball of energy. He runs back and forth side to side. I can't wait for you to come back to Inch and you will get stronger soon. I miss you a lot and when we were at the park it was a lot different without you so I hope you can get better fast.

From Jacob

I have recived a lot of emails from people that I haven't heard from for years! I also learned that millions of people all over the world that I dont even know! It's good news for me because I have millions of people on my side for life. I hope you don't care, but in the next three weeks, I wont have any hair! So Mark has bought me some caps. Infact, when my hair grows back, it may be a different color! So I'm doing fine. Later.

From, Jacob

Rory

Today Rory was watching spongebob and was playing in a hamper. He also tried to push us around. He tried to keep us away from the goldfish. He liked them to much to share. During lunch he kept on styanding up in the Highchair. So my mom had to keep on saying sit down.
He was trying to hit me, scratch me, pinch me, and a lot more. He kept on saying uh-oh during spongebob and laughing. any way that is what was happening with Rory so far today.

From Jake

This was posted by Jake in a comment, but I know Jake wants to make sure all the kids see it:


Dear friends of INCH,

My strength is getting weak. My confidince is breaking. I am angry at the world. I am slowly getting worse. Please pray more then ever for my recovery. I miss you all and I hope you hear my word. Even with all the medicine, there is still the chance of death. Even though the chance is lowering, I still think about it, day and night. Day by day, I am receving calls, visits, and prayers, but it's noy enough to keep me a okay. Please pray for me.

YOUR FRIEND, JACOB

Hi Jake!

sneak attacks from above,



















and last but not least,playing "burrito,"









We're all thinking of you.
Alex

get better SOON

Hi Jake its Sarah. I hope you get better soon. When I heard that you were diagnosed I was so sad. I thought something was wrong when you couldn't move around very well. Hopefully you will get better soon. You can tell that Matthew missed you when you were not at park days. I can't wait until you come back.

What We Did

Hi Jake!
Here's what me, Maxim, and your sisters did today.

Kirsten and Sophie cam over for lunch, then we went to Friendly's for free ice cream! Kirsten got "Hunka Chunka PB Fudge", I got "Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough", Maxim got "Reeses Peanut Butter Cup", and Sophie got "Cookies and Cream"! It was delicous!

I guess I'll see you later!

Star Wars

Hey Jake, you will never guess who I noticed in Star Wars III. It was Grand Moff Tarkin,the guy in episode IV that was on the Death Star with Vader. You can see him at the end of the movie when the Emperor and Vader are watching the construction of the Death Star. You won't be able to get a good look at him thou. You can only see the out line of his face but his pointed chin and tall stature make him unmistakable. The next time you watch Star Wars III look out for him. Get well soon.

Your good Friend,

Matthew

Our Visit

Hi Jake!
Our visit was really fun, Jake! When are you getting out of the hospital? I miss you already!

Are you an author yet? If you are, I can't wait to hear from you!

Matthew, Sarah, Sophia, and Avery should be posting pretty soon! I'm so excited!

I'll be sure to put some pictures of Scout on soon!

See ya'!

Jake is in a lot of pain right now. I think he would like it if we all could pray for him.

I just thought of a joke to cheer Jake up.

Kirsten and Sophie are at our house right now! We played Mario Kart, Raving Rabbids, and Wizard 101. We ate wacky mac for lunch.

Scout LOVES Kirsten! Every time Kirsten holds her, she wags her tail, puts her ears back, and tries to kiss her on the face with her nose. She is really used to her!

Kirsten is an author on this already! Are you? If your not, could you become an author? Just check your e-mail.

See you soon!

Mojo's is closing down soon so we went to the "going out of business" sale. I got Kuribon, Marshmallon's Glasses, (holifoil), and two packs of sleeves. One in red, and one in gold.

Here's a poem I wrote:

Dogs, oh dogs, they are so much fun,
But there are times when the fun is done.
Like when they poo, or when they pee,
All that cleaning's left for me.

Like it?

I hope you get better soon!

Joke

Here's a joke I made up.

Scout Again




Me and Kirsten

I.N.C.H. was nice today. We played freeze tag, (pavilion only), telephone, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and cross-the-swings-safely. Cross-the-swings-safely is a made-up game without any rules. You walk across the swing set without getting hit when two people are swinging. Alexander S., (Alexander is S. and Alex is J. for me), called it the "Idiot Crossing". He even made a sign for the swing set that said "Idiot Crossing"! Kirsten ripped it up though. She laughed after she did that and Alexander didn't follow through when he said "I'll kill you if you rip that up!"

We went over for dinner at your house today. Everyone missed you. We played Winx Club in real life, played Wizard 101 on the computer, hide and seek, and a lot more.

When Kirsten heard they were going over, she got ready in like two seconds! She really misses you.

On Wizard 101 I'm a level TEN on my life person! I got a sprite spell. I haven't tried it out on the arena though. I also have an evil snowman treasure card I'm going to use on the Kraken! Maybe if you feel up to it, I could call you at the hospital so we could get on and play! And I'll bring two decks of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards so we can play next time I visit you. I have some "surprise" gifts to give you when I visit. Pokemon cards, Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, and a Yu-Gi-Oh! wordsearch that I made!

Also, here's a story I wrote!



Lucille Duck and the Award

Once upon a time, there was a duckling. Her name was Lucille. This particular duckling loved to watch her mom and dad, sisters and brothers, cousins and cousins twice removed--well, this list goes on for a while. Anyway, she loved to watch all of her older relatives fly. She was ALMOST old enough to go to The Academy Of Special Ducklings. This school was a special school for those who were related to the Ugly Duckling. The Ugly Duckling was Lucille's great-grandfather. Lucille was VERY close to her great-grandfather.

On Lucille's tenth birthday, her parents threw a surprise party. They invited Lucille's great-grandfather and her best friends who would be ten the next day, Kiley and Beth. At the party, everyone played Clip The Wings Of The Eagle because eagles hunt ducks and ducklings. After that game, everyone sang to music. One of the songs was "Li'l' Liza Duckling". Then everyone had cake. The cake said, "Happy Birthday Lucille!" The cake was chocolate and vanilla with strawberry frosting, Lucille's favorite. Finally, it was present time!

Lucille got four presents. Her parents got Lucille diving gear so she could sign up for swimming at the academy. All of Lucille's classes, except for getting food for yourself, she had to sign up for herself. Some of the classes you either needed to be related to certain people, or you needed the right material. Flying lessons, you need to have a LOT of money, or get permission from a famous or special duck. Lucille's family wasn't rich, but wasn't poor either. They had just enough to get a present or two for their kids for Christmas and birthdays, and still have enough for food, water, and bills. Lucille was beginning to lose hope of getting permission for flying. You weren't allowed to fly, (according to the academy) unless you got lessons. Kiley got Lucille leg warmers so she could be warm after she went swimming, and Beth got Lucille a towel. On the towel was Lucille and the Ugly Duckling. Lucille LOVED it.

Finally, it was time for the biggest present of all--her great-grandfather's present. That present was always the biggest. Lucille hugged her closest relative and opened the big box. She flapped her wings just a little so she wouldn't get in trouble with the academy and tore open the wrapping paper in excitement. Under the paper was . . . more wrapping paper on top of a smaller box. Lucille opened that paper. More paper was under it! It was like opening a Russian doll! Lucille opened it and opened it until all was left was a note. It said,

"I hereby declare, that Lucille Duck is eligible to sign up for flying lessons."

Lucille smiled and said,

"This is the best birthday ever!" Lucille hugged the Ugly Duckling again.

.........................................................

At the academy, after swimming, Lucille changed into her usual clothing and changed out of her diving and swimming gear. She walked off to the flying field with Kiley and Beth.

"Listen up everyone!" said the flying coach. "I don't want any misbehaving or else you will be expelled! Understand?"

Everyone gulped before saying,"Yes, coach!"

This coach was the strictest coach Lucille ever met, But her great-grandfather could fly so so could she!

"Now, flap your wings ten times straight into the air and let yourself drop until you get a yard or so away from the ground. Then flap a few more times slowly and land. On my horn. One, two, three!"

The horn was so loud, two ducklings flapped a little late. Lucille was the first to lift off. She flapped and flapped. Then dropped. She flapped more slowly and landed softly. Not too soft, but soft. Some people landed as lightly as a feather and tripped and fell. And some people landed like a fifty pound weight.

"Tut tut," said the coach. "Work on your landing!"

Lucille had a wonderful term and attended the award ceremony on the last day of term. She wasn't planning to get any awards but everyone was attending. She sat at the table closest to the ceremony stand. There were three stands. One for flying. First, second, third, and fourth place got awards. There were the same trophies for hunting and swimming. Fourth for everything overall got a certificate. Third and second got a bronze or silver medal. First got a golden trophy.

The principal stood up. The principal was the Ugly Duckling's dad.

"The four people for swimming that got awards are," Lucille heard some names that she never heard of except for second which was Kiley. This was the same for hunting. Second was Beth. Then the flying. Lucille listened real closely to this one.

"The four people for flying are, Ashley Webber in fourth!" Ashley proudly got her certificate. "Dilly Duckling in third!" Lucille's cousin received her medal. "Ivy Webber in second!" Ashley's twin sister also got her award. "And finally, Lucille Duckling in first! She wins the golden trophy! A true honor! Come on up Lucille!" Lucille was astonished. She walked up slowly expecting to wake up and find out this was all a dream. But no! Lucille truly had won the golden trophy! Every duckling clapped louder and louder until the sound grew deafening. Lucille smiled bigger than any other duckling that had won an award.


That's only the shortened version. When the whole thing is done, I'll show you!

Get well soon! And that's an order! ;)

Love,
Kate:)
