Happy Birthday Chase!!!

Saturday was Chase's 9th birthday!! I can't believe it! The time seems to go by so fast. Chase was such a cute baby. He was my "chubby" baby and I loved it! What a good baby he was. Just mellow, went with the flow, didn't mind being drug everywhere, and had the cutest laugh and smile! He is still just the same! Chase has been such a joy and blessing to our family. Chase really wanted to go ice skating for his birthday. We went as a family and invited his good buddy Colton and his family to come along. Chase just wanted a small party with family and his best friend. Chase has gotten so good on ice skates. Each time we go, he tries to go a little faster and this time practiced his jumps! Cody was a crazy man on his ice skates and Paige keeps getting better and better. It takes her awhile to get comfortable, but usually near the end, she is ready to go. I had fun skating round with her, just steady and slow. (I didn't need to do any falling down!) Jordan loves to skate around with everyone - and does really well. It was pretty late when we got home, but Rick, the boys, and Paige had planned on sleeping outside in the tent. I thought for sure they would all have changed their minds when we got home, but nope....out they went. They were so tired, I think once their heads hit the pillow they were out. The next morning was Chase's REAL birthday, so we started the day off with a yummy breakfast and presents! Chase got a ramp and new skateboard. It didn't take long once breakfast was finished for the kids to rush outside to practice their jumps on bikes with the ramp. Chase got some pretty good air and Cody "thought" he got some air! Give him a few days, and I'm sure he will actually get his tires off the ramp :) Sunday we had a family birthday dinner with Chase. Grandpa and Davey came over to celebrate with us. WOW - he got to celebrate his birthday for 3 days!!! Chase we love you so much buddy! You are growing up so fast and turning into such a wonderful young man. I am so proud of you! I love you!
