Chase was so excited to start school this year! She officially started 8th grade on Friday, August 7, 2009...Unfortuantely since we have had no Internet service I am just getting around to blogging about it!! She has a big year ahead of her...Of course, we have all the new and exciting things going on at our church, so on top of all that, Chase joined the Pep squad this year! She is so excited about being a cheerleader and she looks so adorable in her uniform! Chase is an excellent student, she has 3 advanced classes she will be taking this year, advanced math, advanced literature, and advanced social studies, along with science, language arts, chorus, and technology. Chase was also picked to be a part of the yearbook staff!! 8th grade is going to be a busy, busy year, but I know she is going to have lots of fun to go along with all that learning! This is the year that the students have more things available to them to get involved in and Sarah (our daughter in law) told Chase to get involved in as much as she could and as you can see Chase took Sarah's advice!! I will keep you updated on how things are going through out her 8th grade year, so far she loves it!!
Here are some pictures from her first day of 8th grade:
(it's always been our tradition to take her picture with a sign saying what grade and what school she was attending that year and of course the date, we have moved around so much, it just helps keep a good record of where she went to school, she always hates it that first day, but I know one day she will look back and be glad that I did it and maybe she will continue the tradition with her kids!! )
Chase's school supplies this year are all mostly made of recycled materials, her notebooks even say things like..."I am a notebook, one day I hope to be toilet paper" and "I am a notebook, one day I hope to be a party hat" And her pencil pouches are made from recycled Kool-aid and Capri-Sun pouches, Chase helped collect and also cleaned used Kool-Aid and Capri-Sun pouches at her school in Wake Forest to send off to be recycled :)
She wanted a picture with me and with her dad, but Tommy was still in bed!!
Chase is as silly as her daddy...and yes he was really still asleep, he had no idea she took this until I showed him after he got up!!

That is hilarious!! (the picture with sleeping dad!)
Glad she's having such a great year! Happy 8th grade, Chase!
LOVE the recycled school supplies! Cool! :0)
Chase is such an awesome little lady. Lindsey told me, a few days ago, that Chase is the first teen she's ever looked up to. I love the fact that she is such a positive role model for the children at our church. :0)
The picture of she and her dad are a hoot. :0D
