Baby #4

We are so excited to announce that Baby #4 is on its way to join the Chapman Tribe. There has been lot' s of excitement and talk in our home regarding what this new baby is going to be. Of course Riley and Cayli both want a boy, but in the end everyone just wants a healthy baby. There is already lots of banter about names, who is going to share a room with the baby, who gets to hold the baby first.... you know all the fun stuff that comes with four and seven year olds. But on the flip side I am so excited about walking this journey with Riley and Cayli. They are both old enough to talk, share, ask questions, look at books and pictures and to go to the Dr. appointments with me. This is new for all of us, and I am looking forward to sharing this journey with them!. We feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family!!!!! More updates to come on Baby #4

Valentines Day Date

Justin and I got to have a date night on Valentines! What a nice surprise! Our friends Dan and Tina invited us to a dinner theater murder mystery. It was a benefit dinner for the Ephrata Hospital where Tina works, so they bought us tickets to join them. It was a funny and interesting show! We had a good time. Thank you Dan and Tina.

It is always nice to have some adult time, together, to remember how important we are to each other. It is easy to get caught up in being parents and being responsible for everything else in our lives, so it is always nice to have an opportunity to spend quality time with each other, to enjoy one anothers company, to laugh, to relax and most of all to remind us how special our relationship is... Thank you sweetie for all you do, all you don't do and for being the best Dad and Husband EVER!!

Camryn Turns 2!

Camryn turned two this weekend. Wow I can't believe she is growing up sooo fast, don't they all?? Thank you to friends and family for sharing in her special day with us. Carvos, Lloyds, Utters, Stanleys, Gillilands and her grandma and grandpas in Montana (by phone). Thank you for the wonderful gifts, you all know what she likes! On Sunday Bobbi and Tiffany and I took the kids to Chuck E Cheese and waited in line for 25 plus minutes just to get in!! Are we crazy or what!! It was a zoo! The kids had a blast and the moms survived. Bobbi, Jayci and I finished out the day with a double header movie night watching "Confessions of a Shopaholic and Gran Torino" Both good movies!. So Camryns birthday weekend was busy, fun and full of laughter! Here are a few pictures to share of her big day!

Holidays 2008

We had a very busy Holiday Season. We kicked it off with a visit from my mom and dad for THanksgiving. This was fun and festive time since we had our first Thankgiving at our house. Stef prepared the meal and we served it at our house. It was low key, but enjoyable. It was great having my mom and dad here for the holiday. The kids especially enjoyed builing GingerBread Houses with Grandma.

We made a last minute decision to go to Sidney for Christmas so this changed all our vacation plans. We ended up doing a Christmas at our home with Chad, Stef and the girls on December 18th, then left for Sidney on the 19th. We had decent roads for the majority of the trip there and pulled into Sidney on Saturday night, just in time for a big family gathering at Grandma and Grandpa Frison's. It was a fun filled night of food and visiting. Sidney was ridiculously cold and miserable outside. It was below zero with a crazy windchill that made it impossible to go outside and enjoy the snow, so the kids stayed in for the entire trip. We spent Christmas eve at Justins parents and Christmas day at G and G Frisons. There were many games of Cribbage and dominoes as well as lots of great food as usual. We headed home on Friday afternoon and stayed in Bozeman for the night at the C'mon Inn. The kids swam and had a lot of fun. The next day was terrible driving home, but Justin came through and got us home safe and sound! Thanks

We came home and spent the day playing in the snow, riding snowmobiles and sleds and just enjoying the day for fun. Dan and Tina with their kids joined us, it was a great time.

New Years eve was low key with dinner with Bobbi, Chris, Tiffany and Brett and Michaels and dice at our house afterwards. It was a last minute plan. New Years Day the boys went snowmobiling and the girls hung out at our house for a day of movies, relaxation and the kids playing. It was a great way to start the new year.

Saturday the boys went sledding again and took Chris on his maiden voyage with his new snowmobile. Tiffany, Bobbi and I went to a double header at the theater and saw 7 Pounds and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Both were good movies and cryers. Thanks girls for a fun day out...

Well that is the holiday season for us in a nutshell. Thanks to all of you who shared in our 2008 and made many wonderful memories and shared in many fun events. I am going to work on my year in review scrapbook page/book, will share at later date. Happy New Year to all. Stay in touch.

Christmas Programs

I love the Christmas season... Nothing is cuter than seeing little girls and boys all dressed up ready to perform, or not to perform (that is the real entertaining part). This year we had three programs to go to. First a t Immanuel Lutheran for Cayli, next at North for Riley and last at Dance Preschool for Cayli. All were a hit, and all had cute candid moments. Here are some pictures of the kids all dressed up... Soooo cute.

First Snow of the Year Fun

The kids had a blast playing in the snow. They didn't seem to care that the temperature was only 10 above!! Justin set them up on the snowmobile and they took turns riding the sled and driving. They had a so much fun. On Sunday they went to Ephrata to Dan Dishon's house and rode on the street with his kids. Sunday night the kids were so tired, but so excited about their fun weekend. Thanks Dad!
