Time goes by so quickly!

I am up waiting for Cody, who is working on a design that is due tomorrow and I am just pondering how quickly time passes and how important each moment of each day really is! I definitely need to take more pictures of the special times we share with all of our family. How grateful I am for family. I come from a very close family of eight children and two wonderful parents who sacrafice so much to give their children every opportunity possible. I hope that I can be the kind of parent for my children that my parents are for me! I am so thankful for a loving husband and father of my 4 sweet children. I am grateful for my husbands family and the closeness we share with them. Family really is everything! I love the saying, What is most important, lasts the longest. That to me is definitely...Family! Families are Forever!

Here are some pictures from summer of 2008...can't believe it has been almost a year!

Milking the cow at Grandma & Grandpa Chipmans house....lots of fun to be had on the farm...pigs, chickens, dogs, cows, 4-wheeler rides, hiking on the hill, and treats from Grandma. There is never a dull moment at Grandma & Grandpas house!

Our trip to San Diego with the Chipman Clan...almost everyone was able to come down where we stayed at mom and dads trendwest time share. Lots a fun memories were made!

So excited for Panguitch again this Spring & Summer. This was last summer in Panguitch with Grandma & Grandpa Chipman. The kids absolutley love it in Panguitch. We are so glad that Grandma & Grandpa Chipman have this fun home. It is a heavenly little get away not far from home! We are looking forward to conference weekend in Panguitch!

One more fun picture from the family farm. The three girls, Annalise, Alyson, and Jessica feeding the baby calf. I have lots of memories as a little girl doing this very thing many times!
