We LOVE BAY LAKE!

Here we come BL and good times!

Exploring

Tonight I went for a walk with a neighbor of mine and I couldn't help but notice how pretty the neighborhood is looking. All the greenery is looking so full of life, it's so hard to believe that summer is slowing coming to an end. The Winter was so long, the Spring was non existant and now summer is almost gone. I have enjoyed so many lazy days with the kids, just hanging out in our J's until we decide what we should do for the day. Many walks down to see dad at work, rides to the park, calling friends to come over and play, setting up the slip n slide and of course many hours of running through the sprinkler...oh how I love summer!

Until next time...

Peyton learning to ski for the 1st time...he was AWESOME..only took 3 tries and off he went..he's hooked big time..LOVE IT!

So why blog? I am using this personally for 2 different reasons, one, so I can capture my thoughts and feelings about situations/life issues and two, so my family and close friends can see what happens in the Chapman's life.

We didn't go to the cabin this weekend, which we normally do every weekend in the summer..but this weekend we stayed home. We had a fun date night planned for Friday night with our great friends the Delich's...dinner, movie and then dessert..yummy! P.S LOVED Batman...I usually can't STAND movies like that..I'm more of a love story of girl!!

Saturday, both kids were invited to a FUN birthday party for their friends Jaxon and Mason. Both kids are HUGE sports fans, so TC the bear from the MN Twins came for a surprise visit..the kids were THRILLED!! They had a great time meeting TC and playing ball in the back yard.

Sunday was a day of chores and some time at a local pool. All in all a great weekend. I'm done with all the laundry, clean sheets for most of us (sorry Kins..tomorrow I promise) and a nice clean, shiny car to drive in. I am taking the kids up north Wednesday to Friday to enjoy a few days away with my brother Chase and his 2 girls.
Perry will no doubt love the peace and quiet...although I'm SURE he will want us to come home by Friday..hahaha...NOT!
