This last weekend we celebrated Chase's birthday...all weekend long! Friday night we kicked off the birthdays with Kevin's birthday celebratory dinner, but midnight came quickly & Chase wasted no time getting the celebration started!

Unfortunately my phone died after this & I missed out on pictures from the karaoke bar that followed this, but you can imagine it was a good time!
After karaoking the night away we didn't feel like driving back home so we bunked up with Chase's mom. The night went until the early morning & let's just say it was a very good thing I was cancelled at work the next day ;)
In the morning Chase had us all up early...guess he couldn't wait to celebrate his birthday with us! We kicked off the day with a family tradition, biscuits & egg butter!

Family Photo!...missing of course myself & another very important lady,
Kristen we so missed you!! |

Don't let Chase & Kenzie's smiles fool you, they were probably kicking each other under the table. The weekend was full of sibling rivalry; I'm pretty sure they made up for a childhood without each other, haha!
After the breakfast of champions we headed out for a day by the pool. I was too busy lounging in the pool to take pictures, but to recap...there was water bball games of HORSE, tons of water time for bailey, & tons of Chase cannon-balling in the water "accidentally" splashing all of us.
This is proof of the fun we had in the pool...
 |
| Bailey was worn out, but the rest of us looked about the same...lol |
We went out for a yummy dinner & then spent the rest of the night, in true Chase fashion, at Dave & Buster's.
Sunday was the day I had planned for Chase's Surprise Birthday Party. Due to the logistics of it I surprised him Saturday with the news that he had a day of paintball with his friends & family planned! He hid his excitement pretty well but once we started gearing up you could see he was pumped!
Here are some pics from the day!

This is me telling Chase that those kids to his right said "it's really going to hurt..."
I was shaking in my nikes then... |

After this we went back to the house for showers, food, & of course birthday cake!
 |
| Lots of candles & smoke, haha |
I hope Chase had as good a time celebrating his birthday as I had planning it. Thank you to everyone who came & made this day special! And a BIG shout out to my mom & MIL for helping plan and execute this special man's birthday.
My husband is an amazing man & in a time of stress and studying I am glad I could spend this weekend with him having fun enjoying our friends & family.
You earned it my love!
Happy Birthday
