Chase's 11th Birthday!

For Chase's birthday breakfast, he requested sweet rolls.  So I made "homemade" roads rolls sweet rolls.  The boys love devour them!!!  Chase was excited to eat on the "you are special plate."  I asked Chase if he wanted to be checked out of school for lunch but he wanted me to bring him Subway instead.  His sweet teacher lets the kids eat lunch with her on their birthdays.  So Chase chose Joseph, Sam, Sam and Zack to eat lunch with him and Mrs. B.  Mrs. B. has been such a wonderful teacher. Chase loves school so we treated her to lunch too.

Bridger was feeling left out so I met him in the lunch room with a subway meal and sat by Bridger while he ate his lunch.  He's still in the phase where he loves his mommy and wants to give me lots of loves in public.  I just love that and I'm soaking it up!

Originally it was Chase's year to just have a family party but most of his friends had parties and I figured it won't be long before he doesn't want any friend parties so I gave in and said he could have a friend party.  He was SO excited!  The only thing he wanted to do was go to Hang Time.  It's a big warehouse filled with different trampolines.  I was able to find some discount tickets on line so it made it more reasonable.  There are so many boys his age in our neighborhood so it was really hard to limit it and we still ended up with a big group.  But the boys had lots of fun.  Their favorite thing was the dodge ball and basketball area.  The boys jumped for over two hours.  Mom and Marilyn came down to help drive because Matt and I couldn't fit all the boys in our two cars.  

After jumping, we brought the boys back for pizza.  We had 14 boys (including Chase and Bridger) and they ate 8 pizza's!!!  We invited the C's to come up for pizza and cake.  Aliyah was too little to go to the jumping place.  Chase requested chocolate cupcakes.  He said that he's burned out on marshmallow brownies so it's nice that he's finally eating cake!  You can tell from the pictures that they're a fun group of boys!

The friends stayed until 8:30 and then we took them home.  They wanted to stay and play night games but I was done so I told them that we promised their parents we would have them home at 8 and it was already 8:30.  Chase was very excited with his presents.  He got a rubber band bracelet making kit.  (It's one of the latest crazes.)  He got a new swimming suit, the new Lego Marvel Wii game, and the Lone Ranger Disney infinity characters. His big gift was a basketball with a note from Jimmer.  Bridger got really confused and asked if Jimmer was coming to our house.  Chase gets to go to a basketball camp for three days that is taught by Jimmer.  He's going with his friend Easton.  Chase was SO excited!!!!  

Mom, Dad, Marilyn and the C's went out to dinner with us to celebrate Chase's birthday the next week.  Chase wanted to go to an all you can eat pizza restaurant.  Grandpa and Grandma R took Chase over to the outlets and let him pick out an outfit and some Nike Elite socks for this birthday.  Marilyn gave him so money to spend at Nike.  It's the first birthday that Chase has not asked for a toy but is requesting only clothes.  He's growing up!  After dinner, Matt and I took Mom, Dad, and Marilyn to see the Monuments Men movie.  We had given that to Dad for Christmas and were finally getting around to taking him out!
