All Jazzed Up

The 2nd grade at Walker's schools presented "All Jazzed Up: one night in February.  It was a fabulous performance complete with singing, dancing and even choreography with gloves and black lights!

Walker had a speaking part and did an excellent job of explaining that several musical instruments originated from jazz - including the drums.

Ryan and his partner put on a show for us while they demonstrated a type of jazz dance.

Happy 11th Birthday Anna Grace!!!

We celebrated Anna Grace's Birthday by painting pottery at Wet Paint.  All of her close friends were able to come, and they had a blast not only painting but also doing a little dancing and A LOT of talking!!!

Even Catherine came to celebrate with AG!

AG had been begging for a cell phone, but her Dad and I told her that she had to be 12 years old.  She had picked out  a couple of other things she would like if she couldn't get a phone.

So we gave her a new Kavu Backpack.  Then.....something started ringing!!

AG opened one of the front pockets and pulled out a phone!!!! 

She was completely shocked and surprised!!

All her friends thought it was a cool way to get a phone!!

Opening more presents.

AG and sweet Caroline...friends since the baby room at HBC!

Money Machine!

On Sunday afternoons our church has Bible Buddies for children in 1st through 3rd grades.  When a child says all the books of the Bible, he/she gets to get in a "Money Machine."  It actually has a few dollars in it, but mostly it has coupons for candy and Disciple Dollars (that is cashed in at the church Fish Market.) 

Walker was so excited when he was able to get in the "Money Machine!"  He didn't catch any money, but he did get some Disciple Dollars.

Go STARS!

Anna Grace has her 1st cheer competition this past weekend in Jackson.  She has been working so hard every week at Dallas Cheer and was excited but nervous about the competition.  Their uniforms didn't come in before the competition, but the company sent tank tops for them to wear.  After they got all glitzed and glamed, they warmed up and were ready to go.   

And here we go..."I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil. 4:13  For Him Go Stars!"

They all did a great job!  Tumbling and stunts were great!! 

And they won 1st place in their division!!!  GO STARS!

                                      Lily, Aunt Kris and Aunt GG came to cheer for AG!

                                                      So proud of my little cheerleader!
