Kyle: Very intelligent. He is a Freshman in high school in almost all Honors classes pulling straight A's! This picture was taken before he went to Homecoming. His date was a friend he's had since kindergarten. He had a great time. He will be going to Wichita in February to attend the National Young Leaders Conference that one of his 8th grade teachers nominated him to go to. He was also chosen to be honored as a member of the Rotary Honor Roll. This was also a very big deal.

(http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=3940&u_sid=10343325) In the 6th grade, he wrote a poem for a class project about my Mom, his Grandma, that was published in a book. He has played football, baseball, and basketball for little league since the age of 5. Since beginning high school and having to put the little league days behind him, he has made his grades his priority. He is genuinely a good kid and has a HUGE heart. I must be doing something right. He is a very social bug. He has several guy/girl friends, and they all just "Hang". No serious girlfriends yet. But she's going to have to be pretty special to have my approval!
