So we have tried really hard to keep up with pictures for everyone's birthday and pictures of the three of them as life goes on. They change so much and get big so fast.

opps - its been a while
It's been a while since my last posting....sorry. However we have been busy. Peyton finished Kindergarten, Paige had dance and Piper Lynn keeps getting bigger and bigger (and sassier and sassier.
Here is Peyton year end kindergarten project - his very first volcano~ It erupted and all.............note to all you parents without school aged kids. These projects are an adult competition no just slapping it together at the last minute, these projects are serious business. Peyton had a few friends bring theirs in early and he knew how tall, what colors, etc.
It was fun and Peyton loved the "dad" time he had b/c only the boys could build the volcano.
Now my baby has turned 6! I can barely believe its possible seems like just yesterday I was pregnant with him. We had his family party on the 4th of July so that most people could attend.... so we used that theme in his birthday pictures as well

Go Orange and Blue - or atleast that is what are kids think ~
Wow. You can tell we are Bears and Illini fans our kids wake up on Sunday and ask for their Bears jersey's and orange and blue are colors they seek out in their wardrobes. Not to mention that if you say ILL....the kids respond INI :) Funny considering Chris and I both went to Augustana - oh well we are clearly loyal fans, even Piper gets in the spirit on the weekends.
The Dells
The new year started with a trip to the Dells.....yes Wisconsin Dells. This time we went to Kalahari - definitely would recommend it. Nice rooms and a lot for the kids to do, they had a real blast. My little picture people LOVED being in swimsuits in winter...............and boy oh boy did they crash at night~

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!
