2013
It has been 4 years since my last post.  Guess it's time for an update.  The Utah Chase Crew is alive and thriving!  Dillon is a jr in HS and just lettered in swim.  He has spent the last 5-6 months in a swimming pool it seems!  It was fun to watch him cut seconds off his best times as he raced through the water.  He enjoyed it but is glad to no longer smell like chlorine!  He is now pursuing two job opportunities.  He will teach swim lessons at the local swimming pool and clean the local elementary schools on a substitute basis.

Morgan is in 9th grade at the local jr. high.  This week she received the Elk's Club's Jr Teen Award along with a $100 scholarship.  She was honored at their regular meeting on Tuesday night.  She is also part of her school's concert choir and had two performances this week.  Although she refuses to admit she enjoys piano, she is getting very good at playing hymns.  She has been teaching herself and practicing at her own insistence...and she is getting pretty darn good!

Aspen is in 6th grade and loving being in the oldest grade in her school.  Last week was the 6th grade dance and she glowed as she twirled and spun around the room!  She has been taking Karate for the past 18 months and it's great to watch her go through the blocks and kicks.  She recently earned her high yellow belt.  She is taking piano lessons and doing really well and she is also a great babysitter...not only with our kids but with some neighbor's kids as well.  They love it when Aspen comes to play!

Sydney is in 3rd grade and loves to read.  She has been taking tumbling and does a mean back handspring!  I love to watch her glide across a room flipping backwards. She is taking piano lessons and doing really well. 

Samuel is also in 3rd grade.  He is loving cub scouts.  He is has also earned his high yellow belt.  Sam doesn't want to take piano lessons but he really enjoys sitting at the piano and plucking out his favorite songs. 

The kids are keeping us busy with activities but we love it!
