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 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.
