Cruisin' Along





The week before Christmas we went on an awesome Chase Family Cruise! I think there were 18 kids, and six families. That's a lot of Chase love! We cruised out of LA and went to Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. I don't know about anyone else, but we had a ton of fun! There were little programs for the kids, so Logan got to decorate a t-shirt, make hats, meet Santa, watch cartoons, and hang out with his cousins. He loved being carried around by his Mom and Dad, and couldn't get enough of his bunk bed with its own ladder. He didn't usually get naps, which led to him telling us he was tired and going to go to bed at the dinner table! He liked the beach, but wasn't too impressed with the blow hole we saw in Mexico. He keeps asking when we are going back to the "airplane boat." It was so much fun to see everyone and to not have to cook or clean up! We miss the family we don't get to see, it was so great to have everyone together.

So, random picture above is with Matt Malloy. I thought I recognized him from the movies, and Ray was brave enough to check it out. You may recognize him from just about every tv show made in the last five years, I think it was Hitch and Drop Dead Gorgeous that did it for me. Random but fun!

I'm thinking next get together should be just the girls?

Vegas, Thanksgiving, and my sweet family





My sweet Mom and sister Julie came to visit for Thanksgiving, and proceeded to get lots of cuddles. We left the boys with their grandparents for two days and went to Vegas with Stacy. It was nice to have a break from carrying a diaper bag and worrying about naps. We had buffets, watched New Moon (yeah!), swam, saw the Titanic and Body exhibits, petted some sting rays, and generally had some fun girl times. We had Grandma and Grandpa Chase, the Bundys, Chris and Kendi and Family, and Aunt Alice here for Thanksgiving, which was super fun. Loren played hard in a turkey bowl that morning as well. All in all, a great November!

Proof!

The last few times I've gone to Vegas I have wanted to do the whole fake skydiving thing. Ladies and gentlemen: I give you the proof! (Oh, and my MOM went as well... how cool is that?)
