Joshua's yearly photo.


Joshua is next to the youngest in a family with 6 kids. Josh is 4 and is our funny man. Hey, have you noticed that all the boys in my family have names tarting with "J"? Just so you know, I did not just barely notice that for the first time. Actually, before we had Jacob, we decided his name had to start with J. But I'm not writing about Jacob right now. Joshua is the funniest little kid! He has had surgery by his eye and had to get stitches at a different time in the same place. Our Dog, Betty (see next post for more info on betty), bit him next to the opposite eye. He is a major Lego fan. Here are some facts about Josh:
1. He loves to play on the trampoline.
2. He loves playing batman toys with Joseph.
3. Josh enjoys wearing his knight costume.
4. Joshua's favorite games are "All The Powers" and Mario. He plays them with Joseph all the time.

Joseph

Joseph's yearly photo. He's so cute!

Joseph looks upon everything with a smile.

Joseph, or Joey as I like to call him, is nearly in the middle of 6 kids (just like Emma, see previous post). Joey is 6 and is going strong... oh, sorry 6 and a half, like he just reminded me. He is in first grade and enjoys the walk to and from school. He is very bright and likes to wrestle with Joshua and Jared. Joey is getting stronger every day. Here are some random facts about Joseph:

1. His favorite sport is soccer or basketball.
2. His favorite color is green (like me!).
3. He really likes Mario and skateboarding.
4. In his spare time he plays games with Joshua.

Book review: The girl who could fly

THE GIRL WHO COULD FLY is a must read. The plot is unpredictable;the story totally turns around 3 or 4 different times. Piper (the main character) learns that just being yourself will guide you through life. An awesome book on friendship & standing up for yourself.

Jared

Jared, the oldest of 6, is doing good. He is 12.He says it is hard to be the oldest, and I believe him. He likes many sports, mainly football and basketball. He is good at both, too. He is a very nice older bro, any one would enjoy to be his sibling.Here are some other facts on this awesome kid.

1. He likes playing board games;
   
2. His favorite board game is trump.
   
3. We all agree that he is the BEST babysitter!
   
4. He is veeeeery intelligent
   

You should meet my cool bro!

EmmaLee

EmmaLee, nearly in the middle of 6, is our girl. She is 8,just baptised, and very energetic. She is our sunshine and is constantly lighting up our lives. Emma can make any one happy. EmmaLee is a young artist, and is always coming up with new art projects. She plays basketball, like most of the Chapman kids, and she is good. She is one tall girl and is growing up to quickly for my liking. Here are some more facts about Emma:
1. She is a great swimmer.
2. Her favorite color is blue, the color of the sky.
3. Emma loves playing Uno into the night with me (shhh... don't tell my mom!).
4. We love playing trivia pursuit (disney style), but without the board or anything. We pretend it is a game show.
