Guitar Hero

ROCKIN OUT WITH GUITAR HERO.....

Sam called and asked us to come over to dinner and play rock band guitar hero (not even sure that's the right name). It was so funny to hear the kids try to tell the others what song they were going pick next. That right there is where the drama started. It was REALLY fun to see Mckelsie and Rachael sing. They are so fun to watch, and we'll leave it at that. I didn't end up singing making Sam a bit disappointed as he said he was looking forward to hearing me sing. It was a really good evening of fun for all of us. Thanks Sam for having us over!

Rachael singing her little heart away.

Gabe, looking so natural!

Mckelsie, trying to figure out the drums.
They were the hardest instrument to play.

Jayden did really well at the guitar and was sure trying too!
It was fun too to watch him sing!! He is too cute and funny and cute!

The best SURPRISE ever!

Today I got off of work and went to pick up the kids from my parents house. As I opened the door I found several arrows drawn on pieces of paper directing me into the kitchen. Layed out on the table was a bouquet of flowers, bouquet of balloons, cookies, a coke (my FAVORITE), a bottle of "Simply Apple Juice" (my second FAVORITE!) and a couple of bowls of chips. The last note below accompanied the array of treats. This was a SURPRISE PARTY for me. My kids wanted to tell me how great of a mom I am and how much they appreciate what I do for them. This surprise was completely unexpected! It was one of the greatest and nicest things anyone has done for me. I love my kids! (Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for helping carry out the plan.) I CRIED.....it was so cute!

This is a note that Jayden wrote for Mckelsie because he was going to get to Grandma and Grandpa's before Mckelsie and didn't want her to be upset.

How can you not LOVE THIS!!!????!!!!

Thought:

Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.

Jason & Joanna

Uncle Jason's and (officially...) "Aunt" Joanna, were married in March. Uncle Jason asked Jayden and Zakk to be the ring bearers. Jayden was so proud and did a good job. They had a nice little ceremony where the stake president spoke the ceremony in spanish as well so that Joanna's mom would be able to understand the whole thing...it was really cool. I love Joanna! She is so good for Jason and I think that they are a great pair. Jason deserves all the good! Congradulations!

A few random pics...

Snow for Spring.... what kid doesn't try to catch a snowflake on their tongue?

Hurley was laying so funny I had to take the picture. I can't believe how much I love that doggy! It's ridiculous!

Gabe and Jayden eating my specialty... pizza from Little Ceasars! It's kinda sad, when I call to order I just have to say Chapman and they already know what I want... Good though, I've made a good little friend over there!

Shishkobobs! Mmmmm......

We made Shishkobobs one night for dinner and it was tons of fun (Sam's idea, and we all know that because I hate to cook and wouldn't think up something like that!). The kids loved making their own shishkobob and then eating away. I wished I would've got more pictures.....

Possible Profession???

During a visit with Sam and his kids I happened to walk by the bathroom to see

Jayden trying to "do" Rachael's hair. It was so funny!
