Austins first season on the Red Sox was a success, so much so that they are in 1st place and are going to the Tournament of Champions!!!

He also has 2 pool parties this weekend (same ones) and is really looking forward to Water World aswell as sleeping in the backyard all summer in their clubhouse! 6/10/09 - Wyatt received his report card and for anyone who reads our website regularly already knows what his grades are, they are all A's as usual! We are so proud of him and know how hard it is to keep perfect grades in 8th grade! He will be starting soccer soon, he is now in the "big leagues" since he is now playing ages 13-15.You already saw on the top of the page that Austin is now on the Majors in Little League and he is on cloud 9 over here! He was drafter on to the Red Sox, so now we are a Red Sox house (at least for the next 2 seasons) He is doing very well in 6th grade and will be going on a 3 day overnight class trip soon. Sydney's team name is the Muckdogs. Her Opening Day was on April 4th and she had her 1st game, all the kids were so cute! She is now learning to spell and can spell "toy" and "cat". Everytime she sees a "S" in the beginning of a word she thinks it spells "Sydney 2/05/09 - Well, it's been awhile since we have updated...so here you go...Wyatt got to make his famous New Year's Eve Dinner for us, which is ribs, garlic bread and corn on the cob...his favorite. He and Austin got to rock out until midnight when we all toasted in the New Year with Sparkling Cider! He received quite a bit of money for Christmas and Hanukah and has informed us that he will be saving his money for "something sweet" Sydney might be the only 4 year old that can sing Bon Jovi's "Dead or Alive" thanks to her brothers playing Rockband! It is so funny to hear her sing...she says "I'm a cowboys, on a steelhorse I ride, I'm wanted Deb or Alibe" Its quite cute but don't they have some Children's Music Rockband?!? Sydney will start T-Ball this spring and she is very excited that Austin will be sitting in the stands cheering her on for a change! Austin had a great winter vacation and now he is geared up for Baseball Season again . Anyone that wants to see The Chapin Family better do it before March (otherwise it's July before we come up from baseball) !!! He went to the Players Camp this last weekend and is practicing for tryouts on the 24th of January. He is hoping to make Majors this year, but if not he will be happy in the AAA Minors because he will be one of the best players in that division! 12/31/08 - Sydney got a kitchen, a Thomas the Tank Engine set, and lots more for Christmas! She is always making us food now in her little kitchen, just today I was given a pickle, My Little Pony and apple sandwich. You should have seen Sydney sledding, she is the biggest dare devil out there, she was going down hills like crazy!!! Wyatt got Rockband, which is just what he wanted. He also received Raiders shoes and has not taken them off since he opened the box. When we went sledding, he had so much funand came home with no broken bones! Austin didn't think he would, but he did get Rockband for Christmas! He got Giants shoes and he also has not taken them off since he opened the package! When we went sledding, I thought Austin would break some bones with his dare devil sledding but he was lucky! 12/30/08 - Austin chose to make the cornbread and the ambrosia for Thanksgiving. He didn't need my help at all and they were both excellent! Austin really wants "Rock Band" and Star Wars Legos for Christmas this year. Wyatt was so excited to help make Thanksgiving!

He wants to play baseball now after the fun baseball camp the boys went to so the season starts in January for him! He has been babysitting and is becoming more independent every day! Austin just brought home his Science Quiz and he got 31 out of 30 correct because of some extra credit he got right! We are so proud of him!

He had a great birthday and said he got everything he wanted! 9/8/08 - Wyatt had so much fun in tennis camp and even more fun in baseball camp!!! It was a week long, 9-3 every day and they were running and playing the whole time! Every night the boys were exhausted but LOVED IT!!! Wyatt had not played league baseball in long time but the coach said he kept up very well and got a hit for the winning run for one of the games! Austin was chosen to play for the "Future Stars All Stars" League and did fantastic, according to Austin, the best part is getting the hat with the Star on it and his name on the back! He also atended baseball camp and besides having a great time, he improved his swing and is now unstoppable! He is about to start Fall Ball, so we had 1 month without baseball, they will be playing teams in other towns. He has started 6th grade and so far he loves it!!! 8/21/08 - Sydney is now an "Angel Fish" at school (3-4 year olds) and her teachers are Kenny and Melissa. We went today for the Open House so she could play in the classroom before she starts on Wednesday. We are so excited because she is learning so much, she is counting and spelling words on the computer that Granddaddy got her for Christmas 7-29-08 NEWSFLASH...WYATT AND AUSTIN BOTH CAUGHT THEIR FIRST FISH AT SPRING LAKE ON 7-26-08!!! 7-28-08 Sydney only has 2 more weeks as a "Minnow" then she moves up to an "Angelfish" with the 3-4 year olds. We will miss her teachers so much, she really loved it. She had so much fun in LA, she LOVED the Log Ride, she is still talking about it now. She keeps asking me "Will go on the Log Ride tomorrow?" She also loved the Swim Day we had at Aunt Dianas and Uncle Sams and she has adopted Cousin Jenni, she calls her "My Jenni". Wyatt is going to tennis camp and he looks forward to it every week. In LA he did alot of swimming and got to see where Mom went to elementary school...which he loved! His favorite ride at Knotts Berry Farm was the "Silver Bullet" Wyatt had Mom and Dad go on it with him and Dad's reaction was "It was a good smooth ride", Moms reaction was "Thank God I didnt die" Wyatts favorite memory of our trip was making Smores on the last night. Austin finished camp and he is still going to tennis camp. We just got back from LA and the Austin learned how to do a flip off of the diving board at Aunt Dianas and Uncle Sams. Austins favorite ride at Knotts Berry Farm was the Log Ride (a classic) and he said his favorite memory of our trip was also making Smores on the last night with everyone. 7/24/08 - We just got back from our family vacation! We went to our familys house and Knotts Berry Farm and boy did we have fun!!! The first day we went to Moms elementary school and saw Sue's new classroom (she is now a full time 3rd grade teacher) and Mom got to see one of her PE Teachers who is still there! From there we went out to luch with Sue at the Cheesecake Factory and then went off to The Adams House. The kids immediatly started swimming and we had cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory for dessert. The next day it was off to Knotts Berry Farm with Cousin Jenni, she was a trooper with all of the kids! We split up and Dad took the boys and Jenni, Mom and Sydney went on the rides at Camp Snoopy. We all met back up for lunch and then went to see "Snoopy On Ice, which was a nice break ( I actually caught Wyatt taking a snooze) Then it was off to the Log Ride which all of us went on and Sydney liked that the most! We stayed together after that, Wyatt took Dad and then Mom on that Silver Bullet ride, which to be honest, I think I am now too old for because I kept thinking how I might never see my kids grow up as the ride took off on the upsidedown nightmare that lasted a good minute!!! Jenni and Wyatt went on a ride called the Pony Express where you are strapped onto a horse on a rollercoaster, which did look fun and then back to the Log Ride for Sydney and Mom. We all went on the Stagecoach ride and even now Sydney tells everyone how the horses were "stinky". We left at about 8:00 and got back to the house where Aunt Diana saved us from another bad, cold $50.00 meal in the park with yummy, hot food. The next day was Swim Day, the kids and Dad and Mom were in the pool almost all day (the boys were in for at least 7 hours) we BBQed and hung around the pool all day. At night we all roasted marshmellows and made Smores. Sydney was so tired all of the nights that she actually had to ask us to go to bed!!!! The next morning we slowly got ready and after lunch Aunt Diana had a surprise for the kids and set up a sundae bar! We all had some icecream (got the kids hopped up on sugar) and then hopped in the car for our long journey home. It was so great to see our family since now we only see Jenni, Uncle Sam and Aunt Diana at Christmas time, we missed Joey, it wasnt the same without him and his family though. We cannot thank them enough for inviting us into their home, making us feel welcome and giving our kids such great memories! I will say though, Dad started to get used to waking up to the smell of a home cooked breakfast, I felt bad for him since on Monday morning all he heard was the sound of a cereal box shaking out his breakfast into a bowl... 7/16/08 - Sydney is Buzz Lightyear. She flys around the house and yells "To Infinite and Beyond" everywhere she goes! She tells Mom that she is "Woody" and has Mom put on Sydneys cowboy hat to play, its so very cute! Its funny because Toy Story was Wyatts all time favorite movie when he was little! We also just found out that Sydney will be an "Angel Fish" next year in school! We are so excited! 7/15/08 - Its been awhile since we updated last...Uncle Bret is in town with Eitan, they are having fun, its so nice to Bret again and Etan has never been to America, talk about culture shock!! The boys went golfing with Dad, it was Wyatts first time ever on a golf course, he did really well for a first timer. We are going to Knotts Berry Farm so we will have great pictures when we return from that. Tomorrow I have Sydneys little parent teacher conference about her moving up to an Angelfish. 6/20/08 - Wyatt just had his state testing and he recieved a score in the middle 400's out of a possible 500!!! He was #29 in his entire grade out of almot 1000 kids! We are so proud of him!!!! We are trying to find a cooking camp for him this summer so he can learn new cooking skills and we already enrolled him in the tennis camp he went to last year. 6/1/08 AUSTINS BASEBALL TEAM IS NOW IN 1st PLACE IN THE SECOND 1/2 OF THE SEASON!!!! WAY TO GO REDS!!!!!!! Here are the second half standings with the REDS is 1st Place!!!
6/1/08 - Wyatt received his progress report and got all A's and 1 B!!! We are so proud of him! (as always) He is about to start Spring Soccer and this will be his first year in the 13+ league which is more competitive! He is looking forward to tennis camp again and a friend of Mom's might be hosting a cooking camp, which would be great !!!Austin got his award for running 100 miles! Way to go!!! He is doing so well in baseball, his team is in 2nd place!Austin will also be going to tennis camp this summer with Wyatt, I am trying to find a golf camp for him because he is really interested in that aswell. Late in May his whole class is going to Cazadero for a 3 day camp out to learn about science and nature! Sydney just loves Preschool, she comes home almost every night singing a new song! Last night it was "Where is Thumbkin", it was so cute. She is also saying a prayer before we eat dinner every night, she learned that from school too. Her new favorite song is "My Green Kite", she sings it all the time. It's on the kids radio station and we had to download it for her because she kept asing for it! 5/28/08 - So, Austins team is now tied for 1st place in the second half of the season. They beat the undefeated team and have only lost against 1 team. The best part is that the whole league is recognizing the Reds as the "Best Team in the League" for their sportsmanship and great coaches!!! 5/1/08 - Sydney had a play date the other day with Lily from her preschool. Lily invited her over for a tea party, which Sydney is crazy about! They had a great time and I got to hear all about how she had a tea party and played dress up, I even got to hear from Lily's Mom what good manners Sydney has! 4/30/08 - Wyatt will be getting his report card soon, he is going to be geting all A's again, WAY TO GO! He went to his first movie without parents this last Sunday! He said he was most excited about not having to share popcorn or a soda since he was paying with his own money. His soccer season starts soon and he is ready for it, he has been practicing and will probably be a goalie again this year! We will update the website when he starts playing! Sydney is bound for American Idol. She has her microphone and sings songs like "You are my Sunshine", "Take Me out to the Ballgame", "Boots", "Happy Birthday", and lots more. She loves strawberry everything, strawberries, Strawberry Shortcake, strawberry yogurt, strawberry juice, and now her strawberry shampoo. She walks around asking everyone " I have Strawberry Hair, isnt it beautiful?" Its really very sweet.
