Spiritual Feeding

Raegan said she was bored and came to sit in my room. She sat in the chair and grabbed daddy's scriptures. She loves to flip through and see all the markings Trent has made over the years. I thought this was the sweetest picture. I guess I need to get myself doing the same...except actually reading.

4 Months-Old

"ME WANT FOOD"

For all of you who watch 30 Rock, you know what I'm referring to.

Our son is filling out the same way.











Our heavy weight weighed in at 16.5 lbs! He also stretched out to 25 1/4 inches. That means he grew 5 1/4 inches since he was born and gained around 9 lbs.

Family Fun

We had everyone over for Sunday dinner. Haystacks are always fun and easy. Besides a few fold up chairs on the corners, we are still able to fit everyone around our table.

A neighbor invited all of us over for a swim. I'm not sure she knew what she was asking when we came walking over with 7 kids... Having Denham and Brenin over 3 times a week has been really fun for my kids. It's great to have some family around.

Wild Life In Our Backyard

Here are a few shots of a deer that wondered in our backyard for about 10 minutes. I guess if I do a garden next year, it will have to involve a fence. Usually there is a mama and two fawns.

He just casually crossed the road.

The kids found a turtle. Obviously they scared him pretty good, because it would not come out, no matter how quite we stayed.

Memories!

(I'm not usually into these kind of tag thingys, but this sounds like fun.)

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together (Rhonda or Trent). It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Avrie Meets Scissors

To my understanding Avrie had gotten a hold of some scissors. She has long beautiful hair...and I think only her bangs were the victim. From the look on her face, she found out she didn't do a "good" thing. Carrie, I've been there! Good luck.

Thank Goodness For 1 Year Warranties

(Big Breath)...so this is in our basement looking up to the master bathroom. I'm not positive, but pretty sure our tub is leaking somewhere.

Aren't new houses suppose to be easy? Well, I'm just glad we figured it out within a year.

I've noticed a puddle on the ground before, but thought the kids had something to do with it...kind of like the bike treads that are running all through it.

Plummer is coming tomorrow, we'll see what's going on.

Hooray!!

Denham and Brenin are back! Missy was able to win her custody battle which allows them to be here for the next couple of weeks. My kids were exstatic. Here they are in our basement having the time of their lives together.

Kraft Foods Magazine

What happens when you put a food magazine with pictures, chocolate and girls together...

the urge to create!

So we did. Here is Maddie Gardner, Kindra Roner, and me ready to dig into our super moist dark chocolate cake. Good times. We are already planning for the next night...of course you know we go walking too...to work off those calories.

Daddy's Tie

So this is the tie the kids and I had made for Trent for Father's Day while out of town. I finally remembered to take the picture. Obviously three, pink, princess buttons for the girls and 2 truck buttons to represent the boys. As far as I know, he did wear it on that specified day.

Not Much To Come

Well, this blog has been on fire with tons of events to document in the past several weeks. But now until school starts their shouldn't be much going on...whew!

Fourth Of July Festivities

Princess Pals --Raegan and Avrie

Wii fun. Troy brought over his Wii and let everyone try it.

Rian was trying out bowling.

4th of July party at the Keatons (Trent's Aunt and Uncle). Swimming, swimming, swimming...

Jarom loved the slide.

Sparklers!!!

Troy and Kristin holding Ammon.

Here is everyone all together one last time. Early in the morning, Gma and Gpa, Denham, Brenin and Baylie will be driving back home.

Tarin Turns 5 !!!

Our third child turns 5! (July 3rd). Wow, I am getting old. And no, there aren't 5 candles on the Traditional-Wardwell-ice cream cake. Trent thought the "T" shape would be more challenging to blow out. He was right.


Thank you Gma for the 5 dollars.


She really was excited for her gifts, but my camera took to long to take...hence the face.

Thank you Gma and Gpa!

Kenadie Turns The Big One

Kenadie was able to join the festivities. She turned one-year-old on the 2nd of July. The initiation of completing one whole year of life was celebrated with the traditional eating-of-the-cake.

She started out shy

But soon dug in and found that she loved to entertain everyone.

She also found that the feet are a big part of having a good time.

Finally, she was taken to the bath tub in a garbage bag to prevent further destruction. Carrie, you should be proud of this one.

Fun With Gpa

Six Flags Over Georgia

Yesterday the girls had a great day of fun. Stacey (mother-in-law), Jodi, Kiley, and I spent a big portion of the day riding every ride possible. It was a fun day without children.

We used the flash pass for the first time and think it is soooo worth it. We jumped on the rides so fast. The most we ever waited for a ride was 15 mins. and that was for maintenance reasons. We rode everything about 3 times each.

Back home, Gpa Wardwell and Carrie watched the little kiddies and entertained them to the capacity of their sanity. They did awesome from what I can see...sidewalk chalk, maccaroni necklaces, swimming, and much more

What The...!

I looked up at the top of the window trim in the bathroom and saw something I didn't recognize. Have you ever seen one of these?!? I wasn't about to swat at it. DeAnn I thought of you and the strange bug you found. Luckily I had a father-in-law here to come to the rescue...he caught it with a cup and said it flew away when he let it go.

A Day At The Park

We have 4 of the 7 here. Rian, Baylie, Raegan, and Brenin. We went to the Castle Park in Newnan to have a picnic and play. They had a great time.

Baylie and Rian trying out the "sliding thing".

Raegan and Tarin flying the airplane.

Denham and Jarom were trying to escape the girls. But Baylie and Rian found them.

Bring-Your-Son-To-Work Day

Well, it really wasn't one of those days, but Trent decided that he needed some time with his boy. So he brought Jarom to work with him until lunch. This is what he was able to do...

Check out the smile on that boy! Trent said this was a playland for little boys. Jarom is pretty proud of himself for working the tractor by himself. I think I want a go at it too!
