Saint Patty's Day

This Saint Patrick's Day we all woke up to fun leprechaun Surprises! Messy rooms, gold coins, and special green treats were all left by the leprechauns.We also had lucky charms for a traditional Saint Patty's Breakfast! Dinnertime is always fun on Saint Patrick's day because almost all the food we eat is green! Green jello,chicken-pot-pie,green kool-aid, and even green grapes! We had a great time celebrating Saint Patrick's Day!

Bidwell Park

What better way to celebrate daylight savings time than to enjoy the extra hour in the park.



After dinner this past Sunday, we took the kids for a walk through 5 mile park. The weather was great and the kids even posed for a couple of pictures. We all enjoyed being out in the fresh air and the kids especially liked skipping rocks in the creek.

The time we spent together in the park was very simple, but very powerful for me at the same time. I love my little family. I am so blessed to have them in my life. When the week seems long and the quarreling between the kids seem like too much to handle, I'm going to pull up these pictures to remind myself of the fun memories we have shared together.

Basketball Season

It is basketball season at the Chatfield home. Both Aaron and Seth are enjoying and playing in some great games.

























Seth is playing in a league called "Upward Bound" sponsored by Grace Community Church here in Chico. He's getting a lot of playing time and learning some new plays. He's a great defensive player and he sometimes even gets in a fast break. I think our basketball days with Seth are just beginning.

Aaron is involved in several basketball leagues. He plays on a CARD (Chico Area Recreation District) team with guys from Matson & Isom during the week and then he plays with the Chico 3rd ward team for church ball on Saturdays. He loves the game and it's great exercise. We've only had one twisted ankle so far. Last weekend Aaron played in the PV Alumni game. He was able to see several old friends and have a great time!

Here is a video that Seth took at the Alumni game. It's not very long since he was just trying out the new video camera option on my camera, but he was able to get Aaron rebounding and passing off the ball in which Brad Voth was then able to make a shot. GO TEAM!!!
