09/01/04 AJ's 13th Birthday & cubscouts

9/1/2004 LETTER TO BECKY
Chase Family


The disc came with the package.  It was a pretty good deal I think – I got 2 sheets of each kid, the disc, the bonus smiles card, a photo magnet kit and a mini photo album scrap book type thing for $39.99.  For $6.99 I got the family picture packet which comes with more photos then you’ll ever be able to use in a life time.  My next picture session is 10% off and the one after that is free.  So I’ll probably take Katie and Holly in at Christmas time for their 1 yr old and 3 yr old pictures.  I told Andy I won’t make him to another family photo again for awhile – just had to get one with Holly in it!


Bryce Griffin & Dillon Chase

Mom was really good Friday and Saturday but by Sunday she didn’t feel good again.  She read to the kids and helped with Katie in the middle of the night Friday night.  Sunday morning she was having a stomach ache and not moving very well.  She got up and dressed close to 1 p.m. and they left just before we left for church.
Aj had a nice birthday.  Grandpa took us out to Golden Corral and Grandma had them come sing to AJ.  Katie started crying when they all came over clapping and singing.  It was funny.  AJ was surprised (we all were) since Grandma asked them while we were all getting our food.  Sunday I made calzone’s for AJ’s birthday.  They kids loved them and helped make them.

Court was really busy last night but somehow we got through tons of stuff in 2 hours.  It is kind of amazing – seems like most nights we get done right close to 7 no matter what I stick on the calendar.  I was sure we’d be here till 8 last night but we got lucky.  




Cub scouts is going good.  We have a pack meeting next Tuesday and then the following Saturday we are doing an all day scout Day Camp.  Has Dillon done those?  They are really fun for the kids.  They do tons of stuff during the day that they can pass off in their books.  I have not planned anything after the day camp because I wanted to see what they do.  Last year I had done bunches of stuff and then when the kids went to day camp they re did a lot of it (you only get credit the first time).  So this summer we’ve been doing belt loops and pins and little excursions and swimming and then after this camp I’ll see where the kids are at and start from there.  I told you they split my group right?  I’ll just have Bryce’s group after this Day Camp.  I’ll have to try to get a couple of kids active because it is no fun with 2 or 3 kids.  I have 5 if I can get 2 to come out that have never come yet.  I heard through the grape vine they are calling the one kids mother to be my assistant to “force” him to come.  Hope it works!

Are you still teaching on Sunday’s?  Do you still like that?  I don’t think I could do that – my mind goes blank when I’m in front of people -  plus I’m not confident about all the church history etc that you would be teaching.  
Are your kids in school now?  Do they like it?
Well I better get busy.  I was supposed to be off at 2:30 today but I had a stupid WIC appointment and it took over an hour so now I can’t get off until 3:30 or 4.  
Do you guys get free or reduced lunches at school or do you send lunch every day?  Do your kids get breakfast too?  
Did I send you the email with the “why dad’s shouldn’t babysit?”  I think that is so funny.

Talk to you soon.  Sg.

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north.  Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby.  Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us.  Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

07/10/2025 Dad's Passing

Dad's stay at the care center ended up being 35 days. He had a care giver that really connected with him named Michael. Michael cared for him when he was living at home and then came out a couple of times to the care center before he died. He really appreciated those visits and lit up when Michael came to visit and help care for him. I'm thankful that I was able to see him the two weekends about two weeks before he died. He was still able to smile and sit and eat at that time. I'm so glad that Ruth and Becky were able to take the time and spend quite a bit of time with him the last couple of weeks before he died. His condition continued to deteriorate and it was not easy to see him that way and spend so much time there. But my sisters and Suzanne did what they could to make him comfortable at the end.  He was found dead in his bed on the morning of July 10. Rest in peace, Dad. I love you!
