What have we been up to.....

Well not only have we been on the road a ton these last two weeks but it only looks like the next couple of months are going to be just as busy!

After Tax Season we decided that we needed a get away. With short notice we just planned a quick trip to Las Vegas!

So the trip started with OF COURSE a round of golf (with Chase's work). Every year they have a "celebrate the Sun Day" after tax season and it so happened to be the weekend of our get away. So it all started with golf....

When we made it to Las Vegas, Chase knew first things first... Shopping!!



And then some yummy food!!



Ended that night with a Lance Burton Magic Show



Now the whole time we were planning this trip Chase kept talking about how he wanted to go on the Dam Tour! I thought..... well I don't know are you sure??? But after he spoiled me tons I figured this was his weekend too, you know he's been the one working his butt off. Making a long story short with how the Dam Tour went (the bus driver was kind of a ditz & forgot a couple stops so our tour was 8 hours instead of 4) all that matters is that it was actually interesting and Chase had a lot of fun! The only bummer is that all he wanted was a Dam T-Shirt and they didn't have his size!! I just love this guy, he is always making me laugh!!

Not very Often do you have......

A Great Grandma that is still alive.....

Well unfortunately mine passed away this last week at age 92! It's crazy to think that there were 5 generations alive. But anyways she passed away from old age and I am sure she is super happy to see my great grandpa again!

On the way home we were able to go meet up with Chase's best friend, Luke and play some golf!! If you don't know Chase you will find out shortly that we don't go anywhere without golfing!! You should all be proud to know that my mom & I actually played too. My mom is getting way into this sport and Chase is loving that. I got pink golf clubs our first Christmas and haven't put them to a whole lot of use.... but I promised Chase I would this year! So wish me luck!

The girls..... Went to a movie and Sun tanned by the pool while the guys went golfing! It was super relaxing and fun!! Thanks Mike & Chris!!

Todd & Staci are getting Married!!

Since the whole family was in town we decided to also have a shower for Staci! Todd is Chase's little brother and he and Staci are getting married on May 15!

We are so excited for you Todd & Staci and can't wait until the big day, it's going to be so pretty!!

Here is the bride to be... she got some pretty funny advice. One that I liked was: if you don't ever want to do something more than once, just make sure you mess it up the first time.

Here are most of the cousins that were there:
Susan, Candace, Jill, Angie, Mindy, Meghann, Staci, Lisa, Michelle, Maggie, Christy, Staci, Tara & Me!!

Happy Birthday Dale!!

Chase's Grandma Barbara just got married to a really cool man, Dale. This weekend was his 80th birthday so she threw him a big birthday party & dinner with the whole family. It's nice to have these celebrations to get all of the Christensens together!

CARD PARTY.....

Like I said this week we were going to have Card Party at my house!! Everyone brought blank cards and they were super cute! I made some yummy salads! My new favorite is the Caramel Apple Salad & Chicken Pasta Salad (Let me know if you want the recipe). My friend Julie made a really yummy frape' (I think that's what she calls them?)
Anyways, for the craft this time I decided that it would be fun to use my cricut and cut some vinyl that we would use to "etch" with. Now this was so so so easy, I couldn't believe it! Here are some of the pictures of what I did, I hope that you can see them!

On the first one I put our last name on a glass bread pan...on the second one I put some cute flowers on some candy dishes! They are kind of hard to see but super cute!

EASTER, FAMILY & MORE....

Well, this last week was crazy! Not only did Chase work his butt off with finishing taxes before the deadline but we had Easter right before the big week of deadlines!!

It all started with EASTER! This year we went to my moms in Delta. It's a tradition that we always do a child AND ADULT Easter Egg HUNT!! Sounds kind of childish for the adults but if you knew how much fun it was and all of the prizes you would be in too!!

Unfortunately, I think I just accidentally erased my Easter pictures so you'll just have to take my word for it! Chase definitely had the most Easter eggs! We ended up with about $45 dollars together in change. We won a bean bag toss game, Backseat Drawer board game & a Horse Show Game. Some of the other prizes that were won by my siblings were beautiful homemade quilts by my mom, more games & the big prize was a T.V. Not only was it a wonderful Easter Egg Hunt but an awesome day. We had a yummy ham dinner and my grandparents came over from Aurora. Now if I ever find my pictures on this computer that I am still learning how to run ( got to love Mac computers), then I will definitely post the pics. Gosh, I am so bugged right now, ew I hate that feeling!
