Christmas Music Program

Being in Kindergarten means lots of new and exciting things and for this particular little girl, it meant getting all dressed up with mommy's make-up and curling her hair for her 1st Music Concert at the high school!! The kindergarten class was so big that they had to make a separate concert for them and the 1st graders!

Check out my peanut!! In case you can't see her, just look for that big red bow!

And of course, not just one Chapman girl can get dressed up, they all must!!!

Where we have been

Seems as though time passes so quickly and we have little time left for updating the blog!! Not even sure anyone really looks at this anymore. Nevertheless, I am gonna add some photos from the past few months, enjoy!! Our sweet girls are growing up and it is still hard for this mommy to let them grow up!!!

More Pumpkin Patch....

We just can't seem to get enough of the patch this year!! We have been 3 times already! Maybe again this weekend! Good times, lots of memories being made! Have tried MANY times to get pictures of the girls at my favorite spot at the pumpkin patch, with very minimal luck!! Oh well, as long as we are having fun and making memories to last a lifetime!

This past weekend was Gradnparents Day for Olivia at school. Mamo and Bampo came out to go to preschool with her and then to the Pumpkin Patch. Grammy was visiting Pap-Pap in Pittsburgh. We will have to take her to the pumpkin patch again!!!

Pumpkin Patch Time

We were lucky enough to have the chance to head to the Pumpkin Patch in Grand Island with Mamo, Bampo Ty, Tish and Londyn and Sydney. The girls were so excited to see their cousins and have a fun filled day with them! The weather was amazing and the smiles and giggles were priceless! Of course getting 5 little girls to sit still long enough to look at the same camera and smile was a touch difficult, but fun nonetheless!! Check out their fun times...

They enjoyed pony rides, slides, walking through the Land of Oz, visiting Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin yard, having snacks, riding the zip line, riding the train, riding bikes and . I think the adults enjoyed Latisha riding the zip line the most!!! Check out her face, priceless!!!

Everyone konked out quickly after baths and as the lights went out! I couldn't pass up the chance to take pictures of my sleeping beauties!!

Randomness....

A Jammin Good Time

Labor Day weekend always is a great time of year for us!!! The Welsh's come from Idaho!! The girls love playing with their cousins and getting to spend as much ime with them as possible!! This year was no different. The crew trekked through the wide open spaces of Wyoming, and Nebraska and made it in record time!! The kids played from the minute they were our out of the car until they went to bed the night before they left to head back home. Of course the time we spend together never seems to be long enough. We are anxious for a white Christmas this year in Idaho! Please start praying for cooperative good weather on our way there and way home. It can snow feet while we are there, just not while we are traveling. I have never spent Christmas in the mountains, so I am really looking forward to it!

The pictures of our time together do the talking...

Happy 6th Birthday Addison

Just so it is clear, I did NOT forget to write anything, things have just been extremely busy around here!!!

Happy 6th Birthday to my peanut!! Each year, I am more amazed at where the time has gone. This year I am also amazed at just how much you have grown up the last few months. You have become such a young lady, sweet, caring, willing to help mom and dad, but don't get me wrong, you can be sassy sometimes also!!!

You have made lots of grown up choices this year, and mommy and daddy are VERY proud of you! I look forward to what this next year holds for you as you enter into school, learn the things I have spent the last 6 years protecting you from, move to a new level in gymnastics, and figure out "stuff" for yourself!!!!

We love you so much Addison and are proud of you!
