WOW it's been a long time since I posted, so here is a hodgepodge of pictures since Christmas! Just some highlights of the Timm's life here in NC. Enjoy!!



Lauren's 1st day of Kindergarten!! Cannot believe my baby girl is 5 and started kindergarten. She did so well, there were no tears from either of us! So proud.....
The last picture is Lauren with her bff, Taylor, and Nathan with his bff, Ayden. I drove all 4 kids to school so Lauren wouldn't be so scared her first day.







Nathan's 1st day of 3rd Grade! Such a cheeser! Love that smile




Lauren's birthday (2nd one!) in NY at the BayShore house with all the family! A chilly but fun day. The waverunner was a hit until Bob dumped Nathan and Keller in the lake! Lots of tears on that one.....






Lauren's birthday party in NC with all of her friends! She requested a Rapunzel cake which actually turned out great despite my lack of cake skills!







Just lounging around......




Recital day! Lauren's first dance recital, she looked beautiful and did such a fantastic job! Nana flew down to see it, we were all so proud of her!







Just me and my big boy! Hugs are few and far between from my baby!




Lauren's last day of preschool! They set up a black canvas where you could take silly pictures, so many props and lots of crazy pics!






Happy Mother's Day! We went miniature golfing of course followed by the arcade games, and then to the Outback for a late lunch. Beautiful day with my hubby and children!






And don't forget Pepper! What a fabulous dog she is! We couldn't have done better, she is so sweet and gentle and just loves the kids.



Lauren missed both of her preschool pictures this year (Sept we were in NY, and April we were at the beach), so I attempted a couple of backyard pictures.



Baseball season! Nathan's first time ever picking up a glove or a bat and we couldn't be prouder! Wow he really caught on fast and he just loves to play! We signed him up again for Fall Baseball, so hopefully he loves that too!



Poor Pepper just trying to chew on her bone while the kids goof off around her. Blanket time as they call it.



Muffins for Mom's and strawberry picking at Lauren's preschool. Love my quality princess time!



One of the last days with our BFF's, the Kulzers, before they moved to Atlanta. Just missing Ben from the picture! We took a trip to visit GA back in June, but I haven't posted those pictures yet!


We had two beach trips this year - one to Emerald Isle with Bob's family, and then one to Myrtle Beach with my brothers and their families. We had a great time at both and with everyone! Emerald Isle was a bit chilly in March but it was still beautiful. MB was sunny and warm and fun!


Nathan had a recyclable project in school that required him to make an animal out of any recyclable product. He decided he wanted an owl. He made this from a mayonnaise jar (with very little help from Daddy). It was really cute!



Nathan on the court, he just LOVES basketball and he's gotten great at it!



Daddy's birthday!

Christmas 2010 in NY

We had a great trip up to NY this year. We spent several days in New Hartford with Nana and Papa and all of our aunts/uncles and cousins. We saw Grandma Rye too - the kids love walking to her house and exploring the huge place! We had a couple of very nice dinners and exchanged gifts as usual. Bob and I got to enjoy our yearly dinner to Outback without kids.
We then headed to Old Forge and spent nearly a week there. We saw Gramma and Grandpa and 2 of our cousins plus 2 sets of aunts/uncles. We missed our CO cousins this year :(
But we did lots of sledding and playing in the snow, we even ventured onto the lake a bit.
Christmas morning was wonderful, the kids (Nathan and Lauren) ripped into their presents one after another while Jake took his time and played with each one! It was hilarious.
We also were able to catch up with Aunt Sue, Vanessa, Nico, and Isabella whom we haven't seen in a long time! It was so good to see all of our family this holiday season. The kids just love being able to spend time with both families for this special time.
Here's sending our best wishes to everyone for a happy New Year in 2011! xxxooo

There is a slide show of my pics to the left - as you can see, the highlight was little baby Abbey!! too cute she is.....
