Peanutbutter Jelly

Raegan is our performer. She gets a bit bashful on camera, but you get the idea. (To watch, pause music player down below).

Merry Christmas Gma and Gpa Palmer

Thank you for the great gifts. The kids really enjoyed them. It will keep them busy for awhile. The popcorn popping brought back some good 'ole memories...the before-microwave-popcorn-days.

Christmas Morning 2007

Christmas Morning. Saying Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Wardwell for the gifts.

"I Can Do It!"

Here is just an example of how headstrong our daughters are. Tarin wanted to wash her hands herself. Once she got up there...she didn't know what to do. No matter, she still insisted that she can do it!

Gpa Wardwell Visiting

Gpa Wardwell is known for magic tricks with the kids.

Now he is showing them how the magic works. I bet they can't reproduce it...all the better for Gpa to come and show them again the next time he's in town!

Orange Smilies

After school snacks are the best. Today we have orange smilies. The oranges are a bit large. So Raegan can't quite fit it in.

Tarin did her best to make the biggest smile ever.

Play School Nature Hike to Line Creek

Yep, it was my turn to teach. We had a "field trip" for our Nature theme. We went on a short hike to Line Creek in Peachtree City. Two weeks ago, we would've had more color. And because of the drought, the creek and lake are very low.

Our first craft was making macaroni necklaces. Lots of kids to help out.

There are 7 kids in "play school". But siblings came too. They have there "eye spy" TP rolls out. (You don't know how much toilet paper your family uses, until you start saving the rolls for something.)

Raegan checking out the creek. Mettea and Alec behind her.

Raegan decided to test the water. "Is it cold?"

Yep, it is cold, but that doesn't stop the whole posse from playing in it.

Decking the Halls

It's that time of year. Fire in the fireplace! They love to pile in front of the fire and use the rug for a blanket. They get that from mom. She love fires too.

Raegan is so excited to put ornaments on the tree.

Tarin loves to rearrange.

Rian and Jarom make the final adjustments.

We are all done. No fancy tree with ribbon. Maybe next year when mom doesn't have a baby in her belly.

Thanksgiving fun

Well, unfortunately this is the only picture I took during the whole Thanksgiving time. Tarin made an indian outfit, and won't let anyone touch it. For the feast, we went up northeast of Atlanta to the Mulberry's house. Trent has an aunt and cousins with several kids. It was home sweet home to me with people everywhere.

Fall has come

Here is a tree in our neighbors yard that I absolutely love. I didn't capture the red trees down the street before they all fell off.

Rian's Birthday Party

The cookie cake strikes again. They love it and I love it, it's easy to do. Rian had her party when a lot of family was in town.

Party was at the Pottery Patio. A place to paint pottery and have fun.

Rian invited classmates from school and from church. Aunt Kiley helping Raegan and Uncle Dan spotting Jarom.

So that's how they do it in Utah!

Rian completed her project.

Raegan put her special touch on her plate.

Jarom wanted to be patriotic.

Silly daddy, he put trick candles. Jarom started to spit on them to help put them out.

Rian's Baptism

Rian's big day. We are very proud and happy for her. Trent needs to smile for pictures, and mom is definitely pregnant.

Rian and Gma Palmer. Rian now has her own set of scriptures.

Rian and Natalie Green baptised on the same day.

Wardwell family all together. Love the suit Troy!

Family with Gma Palmer and Uncle Dan.

Ward Fall Festival

Our little devils and their firery red hair. Tarin and Raegan love shaking their tails.

Rian and Jarom love playing the part of witch and ghost-with-hook-thingy. Gma Palmer, there is evidence that she recieved the birthday card...she takes the $2 bill everywhere.

The group ready to go to the ward fall festival. Ready to begin the one of many times to receive candy.

Ear Piercing- 8th birthday

Rian wanted to get her ears pierced for her 8th birthday/baptism. So here is the before...before crying, before being upset, before talking her way out of it...before the task was done.

Finally we accomplished the deed. Rian is officially pierced and taking responsibility to clean her ears. As you can see she was a bit relieved and recovering.

It's a Boy!

Well, number 5 will tip the gender scales to a good level. Here he wanted to say hello to everyone. Due date is still March 12th.

Pre-Halloween Fun

Thank you Gma Wardwell. The kids love the scary teeth and treats.

Feild Trip to the Fire Station

Raegan has a play group twice a week. This week they learned about occupations. They went to the fire station. Here Rae is sitting in the drivers seat.

All but one of the kids attended. Raegan, Mason, Alec, Lana, MaTaya, and Garrett.

Here they all are again in front of the station. They had a great time.

Conference Weekend

Trent had the opportunity to fly to Utah for Conference weekend. He hosted a mission reunion and visited family. He also attended Priesthood session at the conference center (Thank you, Jeff!) Trent is holding Kenadie Brown, his neice.









Here are Averie and Baylie Brown. Our kids really miss you.

All the family together again. Trent, Missy, Carrie, Jodie, Troy and Kiley. Along with Randy and Stacey Wardwell.

The Haunting

The kids had a little bit of time on their hands before school started. They had gotten there blankets and ran around the house like ghosts.

Raegan was the one to start the whole thing. What a cute bunch of ghosts.

The House is a Playland

Raegan found another way to play bowling.

I think she likes the law of gravity.

Let's do it again!

What a goofy girl.
