You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

We now own a "black belt!"

Hunter tested for his black belt in Tae Kwan Do yesterday and passed! We invited Aunt Trish and her girls to come watch too, just to create some more good nervousness for the kid. He did a fantastic job. This has been 3 years in the making....once or twice a week every week plus practicing at home too. We think he is so good~! Anyway, because he worked so hard, we wanted to reward good behavior and good practice efforts with something, so we got him a little quad....it actually worked out well, there was another businessman who owed us some $ but paid with the quad instead....wahoo for us! Hunter was thrilled. Below are the pictures of us checking it out, Travis making sure the governer was slow enough, kids watching intently...and Hunter's initial reaction when Travis pulled up and he was lying the grass looking at it in unbelief! There are also pictures from his testing! WAY TO GO HUNTER~! And for those of you not versed in martial arts....Hunter's black belt is real...same kind a grown up would get.
