Hey Humpherys family things are great here in the Shawn Humpherys family. Kids are doing great. We have been busy with basketball this year. All four of my kids have played this year so sometimes we have had 5 or 6 games a week. I was able to coach Hadley's 8th grade school team this year. Hadley is only a 7th grader but plays on the 8th grade team. We won the conference championship this year. The Blackfoot 8th grade girls haven't won a championship in many years I think the last time they won was when my dad started out his carrier coaching them many years ago. We are going to travel alot this summer for basketball going to Vegas twice, Reno, and Oregon. It is a lot of basketball but we love every minute of it.
Hunter is in 1st grade still loves to make people laugh and will do almost anything to get them to. As all of you who knows Hunter he has such a soft little heart and is so nice to all the other little kids at school no matter who they are. Hunter loves playing at his grandma's house almost everyday when he gets home from school the first question that he asks is can I go to Grandma house and as you all know my mother you know why he loves being over there so much. Hunter loves riding horses and went on his first long ride with me to Union Falls in Yellowstone National Park. He rode his own mule all the way out 8 Miles and he loved it.
Hallie is in 4th grade and is as girly as ever loves to do her hair and pick out everybody's clothing and is sure to let us know if we match or not. She loves little kids, at basketball games we can always count on seeing her over in the corner toting around one of our friends babies on her hip. Hallie did find an aggressive streak that we have not seen before in basketball this year she loves to rebound and play tough defence. She has become quite the little point guard. Hallie also loves to ride horses her first long ride was also to Union Falls with me she rode the mule in and traded Hunter and let him ride out. When they were not riding by them selves they were riding double with Hayden.
Hadley is in 7th grade this year and absolutely loves to play sports. Hadley lives for basketball, but is doing track and Volleyball as well, she made the 8th grade volleyball team as a 7th grader this year as well as the basketball team. In the last two games of the season which would be the semi-final game and the final game of the basketball tournament. Hadley played two of the best games I have ever seen her play. She scored 17 points in each of them and had at least that many rebounds as well she is a beast. Hadley is a favorite in our Ward as a babysitter and frequently baby sits in the evenings for other Ward members I can't believe she's getting that old.
Hayden is in 9th grade this year and is becoming a little man. Hayden also lives for basketball and loves playing. Hayden has got his driving permit which scares me to death. He still has to drive with a parent for now. I let him drive home from Brigham City Utah the other day which was a very interesting experience I think I saw my life flash before my eyes a few times. As Hayden is getting older he is becoming more and more interested in horses and loves to ride with me. Our plan is to go on several pack trips to the mountains this summer. Hayden is taking his transition into a young man with stride he is a leader within the young men in our church and is a great influence to the people that look up to him.
Me and Hilary are doing great. Hilary still works for a place called Health West and is executive director of quality and Improvement in the company. Hilary does good working and trying to wrangle our kids everywhere they need to go and making it to all the games and doing everything that a mother should do. I am still working for the Sheriff's Office my job gets more and more interesting in these times.
Shane and I were able to go on a hunting trip for Elk in the headwaters of the Yellowstone 30 miles back in the Wyoming wilderness this last year. It was one of the greatest experiences. I cannot even put into words the beauty and wildness of that country. Our hunt was very successful but very hard as well it was definitely a test of our wills.
Another highlight of this last summer that I talked about a little bit earlier was taking my four kids and my dad to Union Falls in Yellowstone National Park. Union Falls is the second highest waterfall in Yellowstone but is only accessible by hiking or horseback with a 16 mile round trip. Within a half of mile of Union Falls is a River that is bathtub warm because of all the hot springs that run into it. In that River is a place called Scout pool that you can swim in and jump off the cliffs into it. It was a lot of fun for my kids and we plan on doing it again this summer.
Love you Humpherys family and look forward to seeing you.
