Happy Easter!

Easter this year was very low key, and also very early! We were lucky to have a warm day for our neighborhood Easter Egg hunt and had a nice Easter feast at home after. The Easter bunny hid baskets in the basement again this year - and Auds was onto him, after searching top down she declared the Basement to be his favorite spot!

 Our neighbor (and babysitter) Emma played bunny this year - you can tell Chase is embarrassed!

February iPhone pics

Poor Chase! I took a lot of pics of Auds in March - not enough of the little man! Need to work on that! Had some great weather in February - lots of park days and fun times!

 Quick but fun visit with Pa & Ah!

 Group date at Breakout KC - an awesome experience where you have one hour to break out of a mystery room, ours was a casino!

Daddy Daughter Dance

Daddy daughter dance part 2 went down this weekend for Mike and Audrey. Since stretch limos fit three couples, Auds triple dated with her friends Karson and Penelope and their handsome Dads Brett and Ryan. The DJ spun all the hits from Bieber/Swift and Flo-rida and Audrey danced the night away with some pasta and photo booth action in between. Audrey was able to recycle her dress from Auntie Lo's wedding and she was the most beautiful and well behaved 4.8 year old at the dance! - written by daddy :)

2015-2016 Basketball

Basketball season came and went too quick! This was Chase's second year playing bball and his team worked together and improved every week. Basketball is currently Chase's favorite sport and by far our favorite sport to watch. Chase's stats in his 6 games as a Blue River Gorilla (per official statistician, Dad) 

Wins - 0

Points per game - 5 (team high!)

Rebounds/Steals/Assist per game - who cares

Looking like a straight baller - Every Game

Biggest improvement this year - Man to Man Defense

Who Chase most emulated as a Gorilla? - Allen Iverson

January iPhone Pics

January started off with Auds & Chase having their tonsils removed. They both were on the large side and with Audrey getting sick a lot and Chase not sleeping well we thought it would be best to go ahead and remove them. We didn't expect the recovery to last as long as it did - ten days, a load of tears and way more ice cream than I would have expected! They are now fully recovered and it is as if it never happened! 

While they were recovering Baby Caya, Julie and James came for a visit! I felt so bad because we didn't do anything super fun, we were stuck at home a lot with Chase and Auds recovering. But Caya was a blast - the sweetest easiest baby around! Loved having them here with us!

Auds hanging at work with me...

 Chase and his snakey friend :D

 After they recovered we took them up to Snow Creek for some ski action. I most definitely fell more than they did but we all had a BLAST!
