Chase is 12

For Chase’s birthday party, he had a sleepover with some friends. But first, he had a SOR show – the History of Punk. After that, his friends came over and ran around shooting each other with nerf guns and swords,…

Drummer

Currently learning: “Fortunate Son” – Creedence “Today” – Smashing Pumpkins “All Apologies” – Nirvana And any AC/DC he can figure out. 

Chase

AC/DC

It’s AC/DC all the time at the Wright household these days. Chase listens to them literally even when he’s sleeping.  But I don’t know if I should be proud – or concerned when Sawyer is running around singing, “lock up…

School of Rock

We watched the movie School of Rock a few weeks ago with the boys. Now they can’t stop singing it. We’ve watched it multiple times since then. Now, the latest development – they are actually enrolled in the Seattle School…

Chair 2

Chase was pretty nervous, but he wanted to ski on the infamous Chair 2 at Alpental. So after I turned in my jacket, we headed over and Chase skid down Edelweiss for the first time!

Chase

Jurassic park

Chase’s favorite thing these days is anything and everything Jurassic Park. He’s read the book (yes, he’s only 9), he’s watched all the movies, he’s played the video games, he has JP clothing. And of course Sawyer lives anything Chase…

Vacation

So this week we took a little road trip to San Francisco, Cayucos, Universal Studios, and then finally to Grandma and Grampa’s house in Arizona. What a great time!

Duh.

Chase just asked me, “dad, what does ‘aserved’ mean?” Me: “what word?” Chase: “aserved” Me: “I don’t know what you mean – use it in a sentence.” Chase: “what does ‘aserved’ mean?”

Chase

Salad

Chase made me a cabbage, blue cheese and strawberry jam salad. He made cards for me, brought me a cup of coffee (water), and wrapped me in a blanket. He takes such good care of me:).

Chase

Comic book.

Chase is reading a series of books called “Captain Underpants”. The books are about two boys that solve problems (in mischievous ways), they also make comic books about their adventures. It has inspired Chase to make his own comic book….

Gymnastics

And, we’re back. Chase has been asking all summer when we could start Gymnastics again. We went to an open playtime every Friday this summer at Eastside Gymnastic. I liked the facility and the instructors more than Gymagine.

Chase

Chores.

Over the last year Chase has been really good (most of the time:) about helping out around the house and taking on responsibility. He has done things like clear his dishes from the table, help pick up the playroom, been…

Kristin and Chase were driving around town when all of a sudden Chase blurts out, “Mom, where in the Jingle Bells are we?”. Earlier he asked her, “What in the Jingle Bells are you talking about?”

Reading

Chase is starting to read EVERYTHING! He sounding out things all by himself – books, shirts, signs, cards – everything he sees, he tries to read! The only downside is not being able to s-p-e-l-l things out that he’s not…

The handyman can!

“If my measurements are accurate…” “It feels good to get in there and get your hands dirty. Nothin’ wrong with an honest day of hard work.” “Righty tighty, lefty loosey.” “I’m only gonna show you this once, Dad.”

Cause & Effect

Mom and Dad can be so uptight. I mean, we’re having a nice dinner and the next thing I know- they are stripping me down in the kitchen and throwing me in the tub! Outrageous! I still love em’!
