April's Bachelorette Party in Santa Ynez

It was a beautiful day & a fun one just before the big event! Lots & lots of driving but it was worth it for my lil sis. I can't believe she's getting married in 2 weeks.

April are you pouting or flirting?...I can't tell.

The best part was ordering too many sweets at a bakery.

Nothing super exciting, just busy as usual at the Chase House. Here are some pictures that actually remind me of what I've been running around doing in the last month.

Kids swim lessons are going great. Kaden's turning into a little fish & Ashlyn can float on her back all by herself for a few minutes.

Kaden getting the chip on his front tooth fixed. Fortunately he didn't need any shots. They gave him a little grape smelling "laughing gas" to ease the anxiety.
Kaden at the park with one of his best buddies Sonja. Their birthdays are only 10 days apart.
Ashlyn's new hobby includes an underwear fetish. They're on all wrong but she did it herself & was very proud. I guess I shouldn't hang my delicates out to dry anymore.
These are Kaden's underwear. She got them on okay then decided she wanted to try and use the potty.

My most exhausting effort this month has been towards my sister's upcoming wedding. Here's a pic from her shower which went really well but I'm so glad it's over.
April sent me a yummy edible arrangement basket & the only evidence that this was a chocolate covered strawberry is the piece on Kaden's shirt & mess around his mouth.
After Ashlyn ate the chocolate off of each strawberry she'd happily pick another one and do the same again.

Very Late Easter Pictures

Our Easter was great...came a little too early for us but it was wonderful & fun filled. We started it off with going to my sister's soon to be in-laws the day before. They have a huge lot with horses, chickens, dogs & turtles. We had an egg hunt followed by another one at my parent's house. The next day Church, Easter day at our place with my mom & then Easter baskets for the kids at the Chase Grandparents.

Kaden had a much better understanding this year about that Jesus died on the cross, that the tomb is empty & that He rose from the dead. In fact, I got corrected one night when Kaden was scared of the dark & I told him Jesus was with him. He yelled out "No He's not He's in heaven!".

The kids loved feeding the tortoises.

Do you think Kaden's excited?

Picking fresh eggs from the hens.

Easter egg hunting took forever in that huge backyard.

At the Grandparents, more eggs & more candy.

I know it's kind of a big Easter gift but we couldn't wait till their birthdays.
