Family Pictures

When the kids were born Chris and I started a tradition of an annual family picture ~ This maybe one of my favorite traditions. The memories over the last five years have been great - the laughter during the pictures and the warmth you get when you see your family saved at a moment in time. It is great especially b/c sometimes life moves so fast that you forget exactly how young they were - but a picture brings all the memories rushing back.

Happy Holiday from the Timmons Family 2007

Christmas Time is HERE

Another Christmas season is upon us. Family tradition is that we go cut down a tree the day after Thanksgiving- and this year it was really our only option of all being home as a family together.

We go to the same place every year - Oney's in Woodstock -

It was great.....the horse ride....the memories.....

The day was great~

Peyton officially started Kindergarten- It almost doesn't seem possible. It seems like just yesterday we were trying to figure out how to be parents ...........now our oldest is trying to figure out kindergarten.

In Huntley- its full days! He leaves at 8:30 and gets home after 4 so he is pooped when the day is done. So far he loves it.......hopefully that lasts for another hmmmm 15 -20 years :)

Piper Lynn Turns One~

It has been an amazing year - although it doesn't seem like a full year already. Piper Lynn has really grown into her own - here is a view of her first year!

Mom's Revelation!

Being an only child, having three kids has been amazing! We took our first "real" family vacation this year and it was amazing. While I thought it might be overwhelming - it turned out to be the best experience of my life!

We swam and played everyday. Its amazing how much fun it can be to hang out with your family- especially when it's truly your family. We were all playing one day and it hit me - this is my family - the family I created (with of course my wonderful husband) but it was a life changing moment.

I know there will be a million more moments like this and I am looking forward to each and every one of them!

The whole world in their hands!

The sunsets in Negril were amazing ~

The kids enjoyed every minute of the trip - Even at dinner they were all smiles!

Here we go on our way to our first family vacation! The kids were so excited to go in a limo and then a plane that they barely noticed it was 4:00 am

Our family vacation was great! Here is our night to have dinner on the beach - the sunset was amazing!
