His Glory, My Story - HBC Childrens' Choir

HBC Children's Choirs presented His Glory, My Story this past Sunday night. They did a great job telling the salvation story through song and drama. I am so glad that my children are able to participate in choirs that not only build their musical skills but also their faith and witness. Our stories really are for HIS glory!Blair, AG & Caroline

Anna Grace's Gymnastics Recital

Anna Grace has been taking gymnastics for the past 5 years. She has come so far in her tumbling, bar, beam and vault. She has loved going to Flip Flop, but has decided it is time to try some different activities and is trading in her gymnastics shoes for dance shoes!



This year Anna Grace earned a medal, ribbon and 5 year trophy.


Thanks Mrs. Misty for 5 great years!

Walker's Author's Camp Out

Walker was so excited to show off the book that he wrote and illustrated during the 1st grade Author's Camp Out. On the cover he choose pictures he liked with similar colors. His story was all about his thoughts about 1st grade from favorite subjects, the tornadoes, bunny hop, and what he'll miss about 1st grade. He did such a great job writing and illustrating each page - maybe he really will be an author one day!

Walker writes that he wants to be in the army when he grows up so he can protect our country!

Reading his book to me.

Happy Mother's Day


I am so grateful that God has blessed me so richly with two precious children. God uses them daily to teach me patience, self-control, humility as well as kindness, goodness, selflessness, and unconditional love. I pray that God will guide and direct Scott and me as we raise them to love Him with all of their hearts. I look forward to seeing how He uses both of them for His glory.

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift.

Take Me Out to the Ball Park

Walker's favorite sport is baseball so he was excited when the season started. He lead off the batting order and did a really good job. He only struck out 1 time and got two singles and a triple. On the field he played short stop and pitcher and made some pretty good plays. He is so glad that Sam is on his team this year as well as his good friend Charlie.

Gumtree Art Show

The Gumtree Art Museum hosted an art show for the Tupelo School District. We were so proud that one of Anna Grace's pieces was selected for the show. We'll have to find a special place to display this precious painting in our home. Great job Anna Grace!!

Bible Drill

During April, Anna Grace participated in 3 Bible Drills. She worked so hard for months learning 25 Bible verses, 10 key passages and locating books of the Bible in 10 seconds. She wasn't really happy that she had to participate in the Church, Association and State Bible drills, but I think she actually kind of enjoyed it. Scott and I are so proud of her and know that God will bless her faithfulness.
