GPA and Seminary
Today the kids report cards came. Jeremy finished the year on the all A's and B's honor roll. Emily once again finished with all A's. Her current GPA is 3.9450 which places her at 14th in her class of 454 students. Great job both of you!!
In a previous post I made the comment that the kids did not get an award from the church for seminary. I was Wrong! This is Emily's certificate of completion.
Visitors and Pioneers
Today, June 27, Emily left at 6:00 a.m. for her pioneer trek. I am so proud of her because she wanted so bad to go on this trek. She went to see both of her doctors and convinced them that she could do this. We walked 2 brisk miles every day to prepare for this. She practiced playing "Come, Come Ye Saints" on her harmonica. She got up this morning with a positive attitude and her awesome smile. Working in the Family History center every other Thursday has helped her prepare for this trek. I can't wait for her to come home on Wednesday to tell me all about it.

So here she is in her pioneer wear. She could only take what would fit in her bucket (it's the orange one in the background) and a sleeping bag. She will pull a handcart with the rest of her "family" and cover about 3 miles per day. She will eat off a chuck wagon and sleep under the stars. She will come back with a better appreciation for what the early members of the church went through to get to the Salt Lake valley.

Awards, awards and more awards
It's that time of year again when the school recognizes it's students for one thing or another. On Friday morning Emily was recognized for perfect attendance. This is a great award because she was only one of two kids in her class of 454 to receive it.
I don't have a picture of this because they don't give out certificates but Emily also lettered in her Seminary class which is not an easy task. We are so proud of both kids for all of their accomplishments.
