Last night was the girls' New Beginnings night for Young Womens and it was great! I was so proud of my girls.Andi had to give a talk about Individual Worth and she did a really good job. She has also accepted the calling to be the Youth Council Advisor for our ward. So she will be helping at the stake level to plan their upcoming Youth Conference. She also received STRAIGHT A's on her last report card! That's the first time ever and now that she's a junior, it's a good time for it! That will look good on her college apps. Let's hope she can keep it up. Her english teacher also suggested that she take the test for AP English classes next year! That's another good thing to have on her record when trying to get into college...plus then she won't have to take it once she does get into college.
Kylee also is doing really well in school. She has a 3.9 GPA. She had all A's and one B last quarter. This morning I was able to attend a "Breakfast of Champions" at her school where she and all the honor roll students were honored. She has such a sweet spirit and good attitude about things. I know that she will go far in life as well. She can't wait to start softball again, maybe she'll be the one of my kids that goes to college on a sports scholarship? hehe
Don't get me wrong, I'm not forgetting about Kierian. Things have just been a little slower coming for him. He seems to be fitting in great at school and has already been to sleepovers at his friend's house. Strange enough, he seems to be my most social child. Usually girls are all about the social stuff, but he's got a girlfriend (from back in Georgia) that calls him EVERY day and a couple of boys that still call and talk to him. He's so eager to learn and grow and meet people. Deffinately not shy. He's a good boy and I can't wait to get him going in boy scouts again.
He did fairly well on his grades, but I think he's so smart that the homework bores him and he just doesn't do it. So while he does well on tests, he still gets D's in math! He is actually the first one of my kids to be on the honor roll back in Georgia. Infact, he made it 3 times back there, so we KNOW he can do it here. We just have to stay on him about doing his homework.
All in all we have 3 great kids and are very lucky and proud of them all!

Its is great to hear the kids are adjusting well. We really miss you and are going to come on vacation next year. I had the same problem of being bored with my classes in school and improved greatly when they put me in advanced classes. Just a thought you may want to try.
Love You All.
