Lollipops & Easter Eggs...

Sweet Cara hosted playgroup at her house on Monday. She planned for the boys to go on an Easter Egg hunt in the backyard & the mommies wanted to try for another group picture like we did last year at Easter.

Brittney had the brilliant idea to bring lollipops to lure the boys into sitting still. I must say, it worked great, and we got some precious pictures!! We were so sad to be missing Amy & Porter, so we might have to get a shot of P with his lollipop & photo-shop him right in...can you do that??

Thanks Cara!! You were the best hostess :) We can't wait to meet baby Grant!

First of all, a shot of Chapman hunting Easter eggs...check out that face!!


here is our shot from last year...

Chap, Quinn, Tanner & Reid

Bennett Turns 2!

Our good buddy Bennett turned 2 this weekend & invited Chapman to come celebrate w/a cool "Bubble Party"!! The plan was to have the party at the park, but the cold Texas winds caused the party to move inside. We were still able to get some good bubble time in the front yard w/Bennett & Ridge. Stacey had such fun things planned, and the boys LOVED the bubble time, indoor picnic, & delicious cupcakes!

Here are a few pics of the boys...

Fun bubble time w/Bennett & Ridge...












Sweet little sister, Dayton, wishes she could join in on the fun!



a quick fireplace picture...


Happy Birthday Bennett!! We love you :)

Spring Break '09

The Penuels had a fun & relaxing Spring Break! Grammy & Poppi kept Chapman while we went to a wedding for our sweet friends SarahBeth & Jeremy. David did part of the ceremony & did such a wonderful job!

We enjoyed a double date w/our friends Becca & Saleem while Chapman was still away...dinner at Tavernia, coffee at Crooked Tree Coffeehouse, & dessert at LaMadeleine. What a perfect night!

We stopped by Megan's St. Patrick's Day party!!


Then we headed to Wichita Falls for a few days. Chapman played LOTS of basketball & even enjoyed a trip to Chuck E. Cheese!!

Night of Jonas...

Last night we were invited to a special screening of the Jonas Brothers 3D Concert Experience and then to an after party where there was going to be an appearance by the actual Jonas Brothers!!

For those who don't know, David & our friends Jeremy & Bode were in the Jonas Brothers movie as the "Fake Jonas Brothers"...I will post the story behind that later on, but for now, pictures from last night!! We had such a BLAST :)

Warning: LOTS of pictures!!


First, we stopped off to get our "credentials" for the movie screening. We brought Julie with us & she got in!! (6pm)

the boys introducing the JoBros (12:20am)




It took awhile for them to actually come, so we entertained ourselves as needed...





Finally, a quick appearance... (12:40am) The boys got to meet the JoBros (and their parents) for the first time backstage just before they went on. They said the whole family was very friendly, complimentary, and maybe a little weirded out. :)




We love them...let's go get some more pics outside!!

Finally a pic of the real & fake Jonas Brothers!! (1:30am)
