He's the one on the right, with the scary face, and was the instigator of the coloring on the face trick!!Anyway, Friday, January 9 was his 16th birthday! He had a . . . er, small . . . get together for cake and ice cream that night. (Thanks, Marie, for the scrumptious cake!!) And of course, there were gifts!
Chase LOVES an audience . . . it doesn't matter when or where, or degree of appropriate . . . HE LOVES TO PERFORM! The little kids love him - he is, after all, a clown, without the scary make-up and big red nose! He just loves to be a goof-ball! That is what we love about him.
He is also a big snuggler and hugger - he always has been! I started getting all teary-eyed on Friday night, as I was driving to his little party, thinking of the cute little infant that we almost lost to respiratory problems a few times, and remembering his antics with Grammy's glasses and just his overall Chase-ness! We've got some great memories of him and he didn't disappoint on Friday, helping us make some more memories with his antics!
Then, on Sunday, he was ordained a Priest in the Aaronic Priesthood. He advanced, according to his age, to a higher level of responsibility in that order. He has shown, in so many ways, that he is ready to step up and be the man of the house, and he can be amazingly adult, sometimes. I guess if Heavenly Father can trust him with so many responsibilities, then we can trust him, too.
I sure do love you, Chase, and am so blessed to have you in my life!

I get choked up too thinking about him as a Baby Boy always with a Ball in his hands.He is growing up to be quite a man.
