Slugger

I caught Raegan and Jarom playing baseball out in the front yard. I thought this was a classic look.

What a cutie!

Ammon's Baby Blessing

This picture is a bit dark, (and a few of us with our eyes closed) but here we are after the blessing. Both Gma's were in town, so we went ahead and blessed him.

Big Sister Rian

Rian loves to help out and hold baby brother.

Grandma Palmer Comes to Town

Gma Palmer came for a wonderful visit.

Gma Palmer is a favorite for reading stories...

...making aprons (they even play outside with them on)...

...making bread, dinner and desserts...and many more things...

So much fun in the kitchen.

Uncle...Once Again

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everyone. I had to get one good picture in, even though it threatened being to church on time.

Father and Son

Daddy and Ammon taking a snooze together.

The Hospital Visit

The proud family coming together. Rian's first time holding baby Ammon. She is very excited to help out.
Jarom and his new moment with little brother.

I thought this was sweet. The two boys of the family. Jarom really loves his new sibling...that isn't a female!

Tarin is always beaming to do everything she can to be apart of anything going on. A very proud big sister (again).

Now this smile says it all. For so long, "baby is in mommy's tummy". But now she really knows what that means...I'm not the baby anymore.

Altogether they show off the new addition to the Wardwell family.

Here is "the little man" all ready to come home.

Ammon DeMille Wardwell

Ammon was born today, March 19th, 2008 at 2:52pm. He was 8lbs 1oz. and 20in. long. Mom and Baby are doing great!! I'm sure Rhonda will blog more about this later, I just wanted to get a couple of videos on here asap. Have to admit that I'm a pretty proud papa!!

Ward Easter Hunt

Check out the smile!

Sharing the excitement all the way home.

Quick video of Tarin and Raegan's hunt.

No Baby Yet!

Just letting everyone know that I've got the kids talking to my belly, trying to get baby brother out. Due date was March 12th, so my induction date is now March 19th. Wish us luck.

Book Character Dress Up Day

Jarom wanted to dress up as "Little Critter" from the Mercer Mayer series. To bad we didn't have any overalls or shag hair. But you get the idea.

Rian wanted to be "Strawberry Shortcake". We made the strawberry to go on her hat and had fun with makeup. They love it.

Tarin's First Day of Soccer

Tarin had her very first soccer experience on Saturday. She is playing in the 4-5 year old league and really enjoyed her first experience. They don't keep score, but they try and teach fundamentals....a little bit anyway. It really just looks like a little group of blue/yellow bees running around chasing a white ball. As you'll see from the video, Tarin did great...but did get distracted quite a bit. It was really cute to watch!!
