Go Leopards!!

A few weeks ago, we headed out to the Lovejoy Leopard stadium to watch my sweet nephew play some football. Chapman had a blast cheering for Jack, and I loved getting to see the stadium. I used to teach in Lovejoy ISD, and the High School & the stadium were just getting finished when I left. Here are some cute pics...


Go Jack!!

Chapman's Birthday Part 3!

These are a little late, but I wanted to post a few pics from Chapman's final birthday celebration!! We were hosting playgroup at our house the day after C's birthday, so we decided to celebrate with some yummy cupcakes, guitar bubble necklaces, and playing outside in the GORGEOUS weather!

Chapman had so much fun with his buddies Sutton, Tanner, Landon, Reid & Hudson! We missed Porter & Quinn for sure :)

Here are a few pics of our cute boys...

Big Boy Bed...

We worked all weekend, and we finally finished Chapman's big boy room!! It was so much fun to make the room fit his little personality, and I love how it all came together. Here are some pics from tonight...his first night to sleep in his bed :) I will post pictures of the rest of the room tomorrow!!

Chapman's Birthday: Part 2

We continued celebrating Chapman's birthday on Saturday. He was awakened by singing & crazy hats (in Penuel family tradition) and enjoyed a cinnamon roll for breakfast. Marmi, Hoosier & Aunt Julie helped us celebrate with fun presents & a trip to Chuck E Cheese for lunch!! It was so much fun...Chapman gobbled up pizza, played games, & enjoyed a birthday cupcake! The theme for the birthday lunch was definitely rock-n-roll!

After a long nap, we headed up to Aunt Jen's house to celebrate with Grammy, Poppi, Aunt Jen, Uncle Bill, Maddie, Jack, Claire, Uncle, & Ana. Yummy enchiladas were perfect for dinner, and once again...cupcakes! Our birthday boy was so sweet to tell everyone thank you for such awesome presents!! Thanks to Aunt Jen for letting us celebrate at her house!

What a perfect day to celebrate our favorite 2-year old, Chapman!!

Here are some pics from the day...

Chapman's buddy, Porter, celebrated his 2nd birthday & we had a fun playgroup get-together to celebrate! It was so nice to see all of Chapman's friends since we have been in and out of town all summer. Porter's mommy had lots of fun things for the boys including mac 'n cheese & fruit for lunch, cupcakes, balloons & lots of cool toys inside & out.
