Stuff That's Been Happening

Well, starting Tuesday of last week, MIDTERMS STARTED:(. I was very disappointed. But today was glorious, I took the last test of the midterms. So I got those out of my hair and can start getting ready for the End of Course Assessments. On Friday/Saturday, there was a freeze out. My dad, noah, zane, and I went on a 1.5 mile (one way) hike up a mountain called mt. tippet with our ward. It was very cold but fun. The way up was a little more challenging than the way down, but it truly wasn't that hard. The other three would probably disagree with me. My dad was huffing and puffing, zane was whining, and noah was whining a little bit. I stayed with my family because I knew they would need help (Me and my dad carried the extra stuff that the boys couldn't carry.... a whole lot of stuff). We ended up taking a lot of breaks and were the last ones both up and down. They were all saying that we wouldn't do it again, but I think I might. On the way down, we found a clearing a played paintball. My ward is really into paintball and it was a blast. When we finished up it stared freezing raining on us (excuse the wrong term). It was very slippery on the way down. Everybody but my dad slipped and fell. Overall it was a very fun trip.

Baxter has grown so much this last year. He is starting to tower over me and I feel like I am hugging an adult. He is really changing and I know that the hike was really no biggy for him. I am sure happy to have this son of mine.

Baxter, how thoughtful of you to stay behind to help your dad and the younger boys out! This shows that you are growing up into a thoughtful young man! (and as a sidenote . . a great pianist to boot!) I'm glad to know you!

It sounds like life is treating you well. I hope you did well on your midterms. They are always nice to get done with. The hike sounds like fun. Esp. the paintballing!!
