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)




waiting in line (taking lots of fan pics...)




the wives/fiances/sisters in line :)




me w/the boys...Fake Kevin, Fake Nick & Fake Joe (my favorite of course!)




Demi Lovato welcomed everyone in the theater...she is really cute!




ready to watch!! Free drink & popcorn - YEA! (7:30pm)

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!!




Kevin & Joe walking by

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

From November...

Back in November, my mom wanted her friend Kelly to take some pictures of our family. When we were home for Thanksgiving Kelly came over & got some really, really cute shots!! Here are a few of my favorites...I will add more soon :)
