The Boone Family

The 24 Math competition is something the boys have been looking forward to for a long time. Last year Carter earned his spot to compete in this competition and got sick there.  He has been looking forward to a new chance this year.  Landon is currently in the advanced Math class this year and earned a chance to be the alternate on the team.  This is a real honor for the boys. They have been practicing hard for this competition.  Only 8 students from the 4th and 5th-grade classes earned enough points to attend the event. Bob and I were so proud of them just to earn a spot let alone compete...that was the icing on the cake! There are 6 other schools that bring teams to this event.  Check out how hard Carter is thinking trying to solve the equation first! From 5th grade Carter and this sweet classmate made it to the finals. Carter earned 5th placed and received a medal. Unfortunately, Landon was not able to compete due to him being the alternate.

Well, it finally happened...the first Boone Boy to break a bone.  At the last play of Landon's basketball game, he leaped up to swat an inbounds pass out of bounds (which he did successfully) and came down on his wrist.  After the play, many of the parents turned to me and said, "Wow he jumped so high,...You need to get that boy a cape" In the ride home he mentioned that his wrist was sore and I said, "I am sure it is bud, you were so high in the air and came down hard catching yourself with your wrist." In the middle of the night, he woke up crying about his wrist and we gave him Tylenol for the pain and an ice pack and I slept with him to see if he would need me at night.  He woke up good to go and mentioned right as he was walking out the door that it was still a little sore.  He could move it around just fine and it wasn't swollen or bruised.  I did what every terrible mom would do... I sent him to school and emailed his teacher to have her let me know

These crazy boys are full of love and energy to share with everyone they come encounter with.  We can't wait to see what the year 2020 brings our way!
