It is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8

Trinity Track Meet


Every year Trinity holds a Track meet for their students. Some of the events held were:
  • Dashes
  • 3-Legged Race
  • Wheelbarrow race
  • Standing Long Jump
  • Softball Throw
  • All-School Relay
  • 200 Meter Run
  • Over-Under
  • Jump Rope Contest

Emma was only able to participate in the morning events because she also had her Spring Show for gymnastics that afternoon- it was a busy day! Emma participated in the dashes, 3-legged race with Jayda and wheelbarrow race with Emma G. She placed 2nd in the dashes (it was very close-she tied in the first heat & was beat by just a hair in the qualifying heat! ), 4th in the wheelbarrow race and participation in the 3-legged race. Emma is very competative and we are still working on losing gracefully. She fully expects to win. Every time. And she gives her ALL in every event!

Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

Softball

The Tigerettes are having a great season so far! Emma is really enjoying playing softball this year-and it is so much more fun to watch than T-ball! She has shown a lot of improvement and is turning out to be quite a good softball player! Her coaches call her 'lightning' because she is such a fast runner! Here are a few pictures...

Mini Hot Shot

This past semester Lauren has been doing very well at gymanstics! In January she was moved from Tumblebugs 2 to Supertumblebugs. Some things she learned this semester

  • bridge
  • tuck jump/stratle jump/straight jump on trampoline and floor
  • vault squat on
  • can do most walks on the high beam by herself
  • can pull her chin to the bar by herself/great arm strength
  • almost climb the rope by herself

Her class reccommended for next semester is Mini Hot Shots!! This is an INVITATION ONLY fast track program offered to young athletes who have established high gymnastics ability and will most likely join the team program in a few years! We are so proud of her!! Way to go Lauren!

Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else. Galations 6:4

Opening Ceremonies


Saturday afternoon was Opening Ceremonies for Little League. It was our first time participating and I am glad we did! They had each team (starting with Tball and ending with Senior girls softball) parade around the field as they announced them. They presented awards for candy sales, presented the Color Guard and sang the National Anthem. They also had a pastor come and say a prayer for the teams.
We are looking foreward to a fun season!
Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock. Isaiah 26:4

They also had to find surfaces to color over that would show their texture, and then they put them all together to make thier initials,

Scrimmage


Emma had her very first Softball scrimmage tonight. We are beyond excited to move on from Tball. She was having a little trouble with batting, when she connected with the ball she did great, she just needed to get her timing down and build up some confidence. She is fortunate to have WONDERFUL coaches who have taken a lot of time to work with all of them. We practiced a little before the scrimmage tonight at the park and she seemed to be improving. Emma hit the ball and made it to base every time she batted! The entire team did very well at hitting all night. It was a great game to watch.
And.....as we were leaving one of the coaches told her she was the MVP hitter of the night!!
God has poured out his love to fill our hearts. Romans 5:5

Emma's poem was published in a book this past fall and we just recieved it in the mail today! She was so excited to see her very own poem in a book!
God cares....Right down to the last detail. James 5:11
