Here is the musical we did. Maddy is in a green shirt on the left of the screen. Her trio solo is at 12:09. I play the part of Joseph. I have a solo at 23:16. Emma is sitting on the right side of the screen with the preschoolers. She is hard to see. If you have time to watch, enjoy!

Go Visalia Waves!

My sister Maddy and I swim on a swim team, the Visalia Waves. This is our fourth year of swimming for the waves. We like to swim because it is fun and you get to compete. You get to learn a lot of strokes. I have learned freestyle, the backstroke, the breaststroke, and the butterfly. My favorite is the breaststroke. It is like swimming like a frog. Maddy's favorite is freestyle. She is also really good at butterfly. You can see our times and some pictures of us at Visalia Waves website.

The heart of the dancer . . .

Last weekend was Emma's dance recital. She loves to dance!

"Let them praise His name with the dance; . . . " Psalm 149:3

Lightning, Jacob’s faith squad character, saw that Orange Globe, Lightning’s enemy, was going to get him. So Lightning ran 100mph to Orange Globe. Orange globe hit Lightning. Then Lightning woke up and saw something rolling toward him. He couldn’t move. Then a girl came and saved him.
“Thanks!”, said Lightning, “what’s your name?”
“Maddy”, she said, “but everyone calls me ‘The Sapphire’”.
“Okay, do you know the way out of here?” said Lightning.
“Yea, let’s go!” said Sapphire.

“I’m Super Girl.” She said. “Uh oh! Look!” said Sapphire,
