Four Generations of Chapman Lineage
Ethan's great-grandmother, Eve, and his great-uncle Robert came up for the weekend from Illinois (this is Blake blogging, for a change). We had some good fun hearing grandma's stories (apparently my great-grandpa Chapman was a bookie and bootlegger--mom used to take bets over the phone for him).
Here's all four generations on one couch. Grandma revealed that she once went on a date with Howard Hughes. Mom got picked up on once by Greg Norman (the golfer) before he was famous. Needless to say, I would be a much better golfer and even more OCD than usual if things went differently.
Here's everyone together (except Pat, who just couldn't wake up by noon to be in this picture).

Here's Ethan with Uncle Rob. Rob was a marine and a cop in the L.A.P.D. Needless to say, we all feel safer while he's around.
And oh yeah, Rob let me take his mustang out for a ride around the neighborhood. Yeah, it kind of blends in, but dude, it's a sweet ride!

Blake, this is Mom. Can you spell d-e-f-a-m-a-t-i-o-n? Or perhaps this falls under the heading of slander. I am going to hire your sister, Nicole to represent me in any possible legal action, that I deem necessary. I did take a few messages for Grandpa Chapman, however, I was about 12 years old at the time, and had no idea of what any of them meant. Also would like to clarify that the yellow Dukes of Hazard car was a rental, and would never be purchased by any of our relatives, no matter how tempting. Jen, take the blog back now!!! Please.
How cool to have four generations together. Those pictures are priceless. Jen, you look gorgeous by the way. Your hair looks awesome.
