Nashville Cheer Competition

On Sunday, March 3 Anna Grace and I traveled with the Boyd's to Nashville for the Worldwide Spirit Associate competition.  It was a very long day, but the girls were fabulous and came in 1st place in their division!!  For Him!! Go Stars!!

March Madness

Walker's D2 soccer team competed in the March Madness Tournament the first weekend in March.  It was literally FREEZING!  In fact, they playing in snow during one game!!  But the cold didn't deter them...they won anyway!

 
 

Family and Friends

Once a month our church hosts "The Bridge" which is a time for fellowship and Bible study for 5th and 6th graders.  This was my day to take a car load of girls from school to The Bridge.  I'm so glad Anna Grace has such a great group of Christian friends!
While Anna Grace was at The Bridge, Walker went to the bowling alley to celebrate Sam's 10th birthday!  After bowling they all ate dinner at D'Casa - Walker's favorite restaurant! 

Back to Jackson

Anna Grace and I headed back to Jackson for another cheer competition.  We were excited to see Nana, Aunt Kris, Uncle Hamp, Lily & Reid. 
Anna Grace used her birthday money to buy some Beats.  She listened to the all the way to Jackson!
Anna Grace was really excited to meet Jax - Lily's and Reid's new puppy.

On Saturday morning we got to watch Lily in a dance competition.  She was a beautiful ballerina!
While we were gone to Jackson the Muddawgs played a couple of scrimmage games.
Scott sent a few pictures and updates through the day.  They played really well!

Meet the Muddawgs

Walker absolutely loves baseball and is so excited to be playing with a travel team called the Muddawgs.  Scott and I have been impressed with how encouraging the coaches are with the kids.  We especially like that they pray before practices and frequently remind the kids that their words and actions should always glorify God. 

Meet the Muddawgs was a time for all the families to meet and get to know each other.  Coach Paul also introduced each player, told their number, what positions they would be playing, and bragged them in front of all the families!  We are looking forward to watching these boys this spring and summer!  Go Muddawgs!!

Where have the years gone??  Anna Grace is growing up before our eyes!  Scott and I are so proud of this sweet girl!  We pray God will continue to guide us as we raise her to follow Him with all she does (especially as we get into the teen years!!)  We look forward to watching God mold her into the young lady He plans for her to be. 
 
 Happy 12th Birthday Anna Grace!
 
We love you!
