Chase was in his first school play this year. He was "a child". It was called "Rats! Tale of the Pied Piper". It was very cute.

The Mothers Day card Chase got for me!

Chase had field day at school on May 8th. It was in the morning this year, so it was not as hot as in years past. However, it was windy! I took lots of pictures!! Here are some of my faves.
Chase and Layton "snacking" on blades of grass!
Chase trying to hit a small whiffle golf ball with a paint stick.
Chase and Layton in the "2-legged" race. They have a large "rubberband" wrapped around their feet. They came in 1st!
Rachel, Holden, Layton, Ozzie and Chase after their 1st place finish in the relay race.
Trying to keep the net under the tennis ball. Not as easy as you would think, especially with the wind!

Chase and classmates trying to "carry the world".
The tire race....
I think this explains itself!!
Pass the water soaked sponge!
Over the hurdle, under the hurdle, over the hurdle....oops! the wind blew the hurdle down, oh well, just run around it!

Chase is going to play baseball this summer so I took him to the batting cages today to he could get some "swings" in before practice starts. If he were playing in a game - he would have knocked a couple out of the park! Can't wait for his first game!!


After that, we went to the Admin. Building for the School District. Chase's artwork was selected again this year for the Elementary School Spring Art Show. This year his piece was Weaving. He did a great job!

After we got back from fishing, Chase was out playing with the kids in the neighborhood. Snapped this picture of him and the girls taking a break on the swing out in front of our house.

We took Chase fishing today. He/we had so much fun! (Not sure while the dates are different - this really was all today!) The first picture is at Lake Loveland (of course, in Loveland). The other 2 are at Simpson Ponds also in Loveland. He was about a quarter way around the lake from us. So when he caught his first of 3 fish I had to run over there and show him how to get it off the hook and, of course, snap a picture! Doug was headed that way when he got a bite on his line so I went instead. Wouldn't ya know it, I got a bite while I was helping Chase and Doug caught my fish! The last picture is when we were getting ready to leave, Chase was packing all his gear back. Looking forward to fishing many more times this summer as well as camping!
