If there's one thing Danny and I want to stress to our kids at this moment is how important it is to do well in school.
We tell them it's important because...
#1: Heavenly Father sent us on this earth to learn, that's what life IS all about
#2: You CAN take what you learn with you (and we'll use it to some degree).
#3: If you do well in your education now it can give you more options as to how you
can earn a living when you're older.
#4: It teaches you good work habits for when you really have a job and need
to support yourself.

Danny and I feel so blessed that the kids really, of their own accord, strive to do well in school. They may not like it but they try their best.

Kierstin has attained a 4.0 GPA her whole 1st year of high school and that's taking ADVANCED english, math and science. She was one of only 58 freshman (out of like 1000) to have maintaned a 4.0 this whole year thus far. She works really hard and won't even miss school in fear of lowering her grade. She has her eye set on attending BYU.
(Unfortunately, I don't have a pic)
Bradley just had an award assembly and was honored for maintaining a higher than 3.0 GPA for the whole year.

Bryce and Brian have recently achieved awards at school as well.

WE ARE SO PLEASED WITH YOUR PROGRESS KIDS!!! We pray you keep it up!
