Chase's 5th Birthday!!

Holy Molly...Chase is now 5! The morning of his birthday, Chase asked for a party with all his cousins. We reminded him that he had a party with them before we left CA. He remembered but really wanted to spend the day with them.

Greg and I decided to take the kids to north shore to search for some sea turtles. Driving down there Savvy said, "We're going to the North Shore to see Santa Claus." We all cracked up, even Savvy. I convinced her that we weren't seeing Santa because he lives where there's lots of snow.


There weren't turtles out;( so we headed up towards the Polynesian Culture Center. We picked up some sandwiches to have a picnic, headed back on the road, and drove to a beach we'd never seen before. It was perfect and just beautiful! Chase and Greg did some boogie boarding and snorkeling. Chase really enjoys snorkeling. I went for a walk with Savvy so I didn't get any pictures.

I made sure I got some pictures later in the day. Here is our five year old, Chase with Daddy;)
Chase digging into his cupcake;) We always do cupcakes for Chase instead of cake. We had to buy them this year so they weren't as good as they usually are.Chase picked to have cupcakes and American flag b-day candles.We headed back to town to get Chase's birthday present. He picked out a new video game for the Leap-frog he got for Christmas. Then we came back to the hotel room to get ready for dinner. Chase chose to have dinner at Chunk E Cheese. We weren't surprised. This made Greg a little sad because he is not a big fan and he was hoping for tacos. The birthday boy loved it though! Chunk E Cheese and some employees came out and sang happy birthday to Chase! That was cool and Chase loved it--but he didn't let any of them know it.Savvy loves the rides!Oh, Chase is ready for Kindergarten and is eager to learn Math and how to read. I hope as soon as we move into our house we can start hooked on phonics for him.Happy Birthday Chase we love you and are so happy you are in our life.

Love Mom
