We came across this again today and we about DIE watching it every time. It is an actual Yahoo Answer that someone animated. hahaha It kills me!
Welcome to the Chapman family blog.
2005 - Present
I would sooner fail than not be among the greatest.

We move back up to Provo on Friday so we wanted to have one last super fun weekend together before we moved back up to work and school. I booked us a room at the Plaza, right at the head of The Freemont Experience in Old Las Vegas (we always play on the strip but have NEVER gone to Old Vegas, so we were totally stoked!)
We got all our stuff unpacked, but Trevor had to take a nap because he was feeling sick and Jace had been sick ever since Monday. Trevor just got progressively worse each day and we pretty much spent the whole weekend like this:
We only left the hotel room for food– once to get McDonalds, once to get Taco Bell, once to get medicine and gatorade. It was such a bummer.
The last night we went out on the Freemont Experience which was AWESOME– it is this huge outdoor shopping place that has a neon light show overhead as soon as it gets dark. It is just a huge party with shopping, dining, attractions– SUPER cool! The Beatles (impersonators) were playing and so many people dressed up as the 70’s. So fun! But after that we went right back to the hotel and Trevor continued to be sick. Poor guy.
At least Jace was funny. Here are a couple anecdotes:
Jace kept changing the TV to the input/output/side/VCR thing so the TV kept going blue because it had no input. We would yell, “Jace! No! We can’t see the show! Turn it back!” To which he turned and matter-of-factly informed us, “It’s loading.”
While we were in the store getting gatorade and medicine, Jace grabbed a PowerBar, held it to his heart, raised his eyes to the heavens, and with great passion proclaimed, “For my yife (life) and for my fwends (friends).”
While Trevor and I were watching TV, Jace took all the Whoppers and stomped them into the carpet. When I found out what he was doing, I went to clean it up to which, with great disgust warned, “Oh mommy, don’t touch it– it’s fiwfey (filthy).”
He recently has decided he is too mature to call Trevor and I by the proper title of “Mommy” and “Daddy”. He now addresses us only as Tevo and Caci. And to be even more adult, he generally just shortens mine to Case. He is hilarious!
He did something else hilarious but I can’t remember. If I do, I will add it later.
Last, but not least, this is what happens when Aunt Sierra gives Jace a bath. He turns into… da da DAAAAA!!! Letter Man! There is not a letter he can’t pronounce! He can spell words at the speed of light! He can stun you with his over developed vocabulary!
After years of practice, I have discovered the most efficient way to save money on hotel rooms and I would like to impart my knowledge onto the masses. I just got us a hotel for the weekend in Las Vegas for $16 per night– that’s right! $16!
This is how I do it– first go to hotwire.com and search there. I LOVE hotwire.com because they are deeply discounted since you don’t get to see what hotel you are staying at until you confirm the purchase– you just choose the star level, they tell you what hotels fall in that range, you purchase the room, and you generally get a killer deal (we stayed at the Hilton in Huntington Beach for $40 per night when it is usually $350 per night. Yeah. Crazy.)
After I check hotwire.com, I check hotelscombined.com. They search all the OTHER booking sites and tell you where you can book it the cheapest– love it. Then I get the cheaper of the two but before I buy it, I search google for a promo code for that specific website (so if I get it from hotwire, I google “hotwire promo code” before I make the final selection). We stayed at Newport beach for 4 days and our hotel was only $37 per night because I found this really great promo code that took $300 off.
Another cool tip is travelocity.com– they have flexible travel days so you can see the hotel rate for each day of the week so you can book it at its cheapest if you don’t really care when you go, but you want to stay in an awesome resort or hotel.
Anyway, if you are looking to book a hotel, try those tips! More money to spend on SHOES and MAKEUP! If any of you have better hotel tips, let me know! We seriously book at least 45 hotel rooms per year and that really adds up!
I thought this tag seemed like fun, so here it goes!
*Father’s Day Tag! Go through your photo album and grab the first photo in the first album, the second in the second, etc. and tell why your dad/husband is the best.*
Well, Trevor’s clearly the best and here’s why.
He has all the cool toys and gadgets.
My family likes him better than they like me. (And he is just so dang handsome).
He still believes in Santa Clause and gets excited to take his pic with him each year.
He can maneuver us all throughout the world and never get lost.
He should have been a Roman General. I am reading the Emperor series right now about Julius Caesar and it is Trevor to a “T”! (This is outside the colosseum in case you didn’t know how the pic applied.)
He takes me on the coolest vacations.
And makes lifetime friends in far off lands.
He always participates in family traditions, no matter what he has to wear, say, or do.
And lets me parade our son around town in whatever outlandish costumes I want.
He buys us really cool cars and makes all our neighbors jealous.
He teaches Jace to conquer all his fears.
He is Jace’s hero in every way and is teaching him to be a good, righteous, adventurous, man.
He will risk his life for a cool photo op (very mandatory to be my husband).
He is so easy going– he doesn’t complain when all my siblings come crash what was supposed to be a romantic weekend in San Diego for the two of us.
He’s so dextrous.
And strong!
He is a devoted and loving father.
And the best husband in the world! Happy Father’s Day, Trevor! We love you!!!
This was taken today– Trevor’s THIRD Father’s Day! It is CRAZY how fast time flies!
Today I was out in the driveway cleaning out the car and this guy kept driving around the block over and over and over. He was a really scary looking guy in an old beat up car. He slowly circled the neighborhood at least 15 times. I glared at him each time he came around letting him know I saw his face. I was about ready to call the cops.
I told my mom in law when she got home and we found this website that tells all the registered sex offenders in the neighborhood. It is familywatchdog.us . I am totally going to check this site whenever I move to a new place– you might want to use it, too. Better to be safe than sorry.
Every year I look forward to the Allure Readers’ Choice Awards where all Allure Magazine readers vote on their favorite beauty products. The reason it is especially cool is because it has a a winner for both drugstore and department store products in each category– so you can either go cheap or pricy. I am sure you were all counting down the days, too! Check it out here.
You may call me a pawn of the market, but I can honestly say they have never steered me wrong! I can’t wait to go out tomorrow and stock up!
While Trevor was in Cali, Jace and I were playing with the Chapman family in Henderson. We always have a blast with them– especially Jace. He is a tiny King Tut there. He has more attention, hugs, kisses, and toys than a small country of toddlers could handle.
We went swimming, shopping, and played played played. When we went shopping there was this HUGE sale at Charlotte Russe and we all got awesome steals– I will take a pic later, but I got three of my new favorite shirts for $9.00!!! That is $9.00 TOTAL– not each. Few things make me more elated than an awesome deal.
The highlight of the trip was when Brooke and Steve called up, found we were all there, and decided to drive all the way from BYU-I to Las Vegas to see us all for just two short days. It was so fun to have the whole family together!
We then drove to St. George to pick up the bus and bring it to California. We are now in Cali playing with Jill and Kaelynn while Trevor and Paul work. Jace and Kaelynn are so cute together. Seeing them play really makes me excited to have our next one. Either they are hugging and kissing each other or else they are hitting each other with stuffed Elmo’s or stealing the other’s toys. Yesterday we were having dinner with the missionaries and Kealynn and Jace were outside playing while we ate. We peaked through the blinds to see what mischeif they were causing at the moment and saw Kaelynn sneak up from behind and steal a kiss on the lips! Hahaha And then later Kaelynn was standing there and Jace walked up, gave her a hug, kissed her on the cheek, and walked away. hahaha SO CUTE! We need to get pics of all these things so we can show it to them at their wedding.
We just got back from playing at Chucky Cheese with Jill, Kaelynn, Holly, and Owen. Jace LOVED it. He was in absolute heaven. That is one awesome place! Trevor is going to go CRAZY when he goes there with Jace. Jace’s favorite thing was this virtual roller coaster one and the horse race. So fun!
We tried and tried and tried to get a cute pic of Kaelynn and Jace together but to no avail. We also tried to get a sketch of them and after three attempts, we just gave up (and we had run out of tokens by that point). Jace was in absolute heaven.
