Welcome Family and Friends!!!
Welcome to the Chapman Family Blog!! I discovered that I am much more efficient at keeping the family photos up to date online than I am actually scrapbooking. It's nothing fancy, just a slice of life from the Chapman's in Arizona. Enjoy!
Well, it doesn't happen very often, but the entire Chapman
clan got together in AZ this week! Papa & Grandma came from
Nebraska, and Tony, Casey & Jase flew in from Colorado.
It was a wonderful week. The kids had so much fun playing
together, and getting spoiled by Grandma & Papa.
It was a busy, crazy week that went by too fast. Thank
you for coming to visit! We miss you already and love you tons!
In honor of the whole family get together, we decided that
a current family portrait was in order. The pictures
themselves didn't take too long, it was trying to decide
which ones to buy that took the most time!
Between the four families, we wound up getting a TON of pictures.
And believe it or not, the boys did a great job being on their
best behavior!
Even Ryan, Tony & Justin :) And Miss Sophie was angelic, of course!
Our most recent family shot. I love Lincoln's expression!
Our little stud. He was hammin it up.
A headshot. I LOVE this picture!
Jase, with his sweet smile. He was so much fun this week.
We hadn't seen him since May of 2007!! It was sooo good
to see him & Tony & Casey. I wish we all lived closer!
The boys, and Miss Sophie!
Big brothers Jaxon & Reese. I think this picture is too cute!
A solo shot of Jaxon. He did such a good job during all the
pictures. And he was the big man in charge of holding Sophie
in the grandkids pictures.
Reese. I just love the cute little faces
this kid is famous for. He cracks me up
everyday!
Big Brothers, looking & loving their little sis.
Posing with Sophie. They are very proud of their
little sister.
Grandma & Papa with all their grandkids. What a picture!
Again with the grandkids... Husker style!
Go Huskers! Even Sophie was sporting her Nebraska gear!
I couldn't help myself. I had to put these pictures of
Sophie on here! She is just tooo precious.
The other night, I went to bed and found this...
ALL of them were sleeping soundly. Lately, it's not enough for
Lincoln to sleep with Mommy & Daddy... he has to sleep in
our bed, ON Duke. We were hoping that after the surgery
he would sleep more soundly, and stay in
his own bed for the night. While he is sleeping better, he still winds up
in our room everynight. Our New Year's resolution is to take him back
to his own room. We'll see how that goes.
Duke was the only one to wake up when he heard me and
saw the camera flash. Ryan & Linc didn't know I was there!
Reese & Lincoln crashed on Thanksgiving ... too cute.
A shot of Reese, Linc & Jaxon before the little ones fell asleep
3 tired boys after a big Thanksgiving day.
The three boys wrestling with Ryan!
Lincoln sporting Mrs. Potato Heads earrings...
Reese wearing the earrings. Neither one kept them in for
long... the earrings pinch their little ears. We were showing
them how to put the earrings on the Potato head, and they
decided to try it themselves.
Lincoln clowning around with Mr. Potato Head's mustache!
Jaxon & Lincoln hanging out eating candy canes
Ryan, Lincoln, Jaxon & Reese eating candy canes. Can we
say sticky hands galore??
Lincoln as Spider Man! If you could hear the sound that
accompanies this picture. He thought he was pretty tough!
Jaxon, Reese & Spidy
Above is a picture of Lincoln "pimping his ride".
Daycare hired a company to come in and take Holiday
pictures. We were so impressed with the way this
turned out!
