I am incredibly proud of my son, Kyler. After winning his school spelling bee, he went to the Regional Spelling Bee in Seattle. He made it to the fifth round and was one of 10 remaining contestants for a spot in the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. His big goal going in was not to make a silly mistake in the first round, so he exceeded his goal.

He is truly a complete package and I couldn’t be more proud. In addition to his spelling prowess, he is also school president and captain of his select soccer team. Plus, look at how great looking he is! ;)
