Pretty in Pink

Hi! I'm Pretty.....don't ya think?

Twinners

I know some of you have seen these before from Meredith but how could I not share with the rest of the world these two cutie putooties. (We didn't even plan it, I swear!) Someone is going to be tall I think. I sense wallflower days in her future.

Spiky hair is cool



Look at this!!!! Spiky hair on Cade!!! This is a special moment in his life people. He's always wanted spiky hair like his brother Christian but if anyone knows Cades hair you know that it just lays down flat, it's so thick and course. This doo lasted about a minute so I'm glad I captured this moment to share.

Friends Forever






We have some pictures here of the boys with their good friends. Christian's taking some driving lessons from his buddy Ryan, Cade and Christian are hanging out with Cade's girl Natalia, Cade and best bud Kyle are making brownies and last but not least the whole Chapman gang eating popcorn with the Huston gang. (Claudia's a little out numbered by the boys, don't ya think?)

Brotherly Love


I love how close these two brothers have become over the years. They are best friends which puts such a smile on my face everyday. I'm so glad they have each other.

Best ponytail ever



Here is our sweet angel Claudia with her best friend Kamila who lives next door. She is sporting her first ponytail ever! Had to take a picture of this. Kamila has hair down to her shoulders already with two haircuts under her belt, and Claudia still just has the little flippies over her ears. We are very proud of this ponytail.(Sound familiar Meredith?)

Kids with Casper



My kids sure love their puppy Casper. Christian is sitting with him before his first hair cut. He looks so scruffy. Claudia is with him right after his day back at the dog groomer. He definatly is not a good client we were told. (I think that means I need to give a bigger tip next time).

Rainy Day





Christian and Cade were so excited about our last big rain storm because they snuck out into the backyard with Casper and decided it would be a blast to jump and slide into all the mud puddles. Christian was still in his pajamas. The three of them look like wet rats(well mabey just the dog). Christian did a sweet air move with his gracefulness, where Cade just liked to slip and slide it right on his belly. A fun time had by all......till mom had to do laundry.

Chores


My boys have their chores they do around the house so they can get an allowance. Claudia decided she wanted a piece of that action, so she now is my little helper in the kitchen. She loves to unload the diswasher.

Too Cool to Drool

Claudia is too cool for words. That's all I need to say.

Silly boyz



This is the craziness I have to live with every day with my three boys!!!! Gotta luv em.

I feel the love

Ok......here is proof that Cade really does love Claudia. He is actually playing with her and letting her touch him. I don't have many of these pictures so I thought I would share. A rare moment I must keep in my memory.

Puppy Love



Claudia is so in love with her new pup Casper. He is so good with her too. He knows he can get goldfish crackers from her. She's the only one who will share with him so he treats her better than the boys. He knows where to go to get his fish supply from.

Chapman Family


Here is John's entire family, just his brother's and sisters with their spouses and each of thier children along with John's parents. Crazy isn't it! We can actually remember each others names too!

Cute Cousins

Claudia has 38 cousins on John's side and two cousins on my side. Here she is with her beautiful cousin Jolie. They love each other and are so sweet together. We only live 15 minutes from each other so we hope they will grow up to be close friends.

It's Wrestle Time (sort of)

The boys and I love to wrestle around on my bed and then daddy came in with camera in hand and snapped a photo. We are such posers!

Life at the Chapmans

So, I am now a blogger! How exciting! I know, I know you can't believe it, me either! The Chapman family is growing and it's so fun having three children. Christian is 7 and in second grade, Cade is 4 and in pre-school and Claudia is 18 months. The new addition to the family, Casper our puppy, is 6 months old now.
