Catching up with the Skippers....

I couldn't resist posting this picture, it is definitely one to be saved to use later! I have not been keeping up with the blog so I am posting lots of pictures today. Chase had his 6th birthday in January and as usually he had a weeklong celebration. Cookies at school, dinner at Dave and Busters, and a "Cowboy" themed field day party at our park. He had a blast and deemed it as "the best day ever"...until next year!
Chase continues to love school. He has become quite the reader and writer and his mom could not be more proud of the student that he is:) It is hard to beleive that he only has about 10 more weeks of Kindergarten! Time is moving too fast! Caroline loves school and wishes she could go everyday. She is enjoying hanging out with her Nana and now her Papa who retired in January. She is growing up so fast and has an amazing vocabulary and a flair for the dramatic! She adores her big brother! Chase had a big adventure in March. Allen, Chase, "Uncle Philip" and I flew out to Aspen, Colorado for a ski trip. Chase insisted he was going to snowboard and had visions of himself doing 360's off of half-pipes. He didn't quite get to that level, but give him a few more years and I will be really nervous! We had an amazing time and hope we get to do it again next year. We didn't escape injury free..Philip broke a finger on "Fanny Hill" and lucky we had connections at the local hospital so he got to continue skiing with one hand:) We got to see snow and Chase got to ice skate and sled. It was a fabulous trip! Caroline got left behind, but had fun with her Nana and Papa. We are already looking at cute pink snow gear for her, so she will get to go next time and be a little "snowbunny."
Next week is spring break and Nana, Papa and the crew are going to brave Disney World! Updates to come...
