Where is the time going?

I have such a hard time believing that 3 weeks or so have gone by since I posted those pictures! Here we are half-way through May already! What's happened so far?

1. Spring has come, lots of days in the 70s, but it snowed just last week for a little bit too (no accumulation, thank goodness!)

2. We drove to the top of Cinder Mountain for the first time this year and drove down the front of it in the jeep again.

3. We had a nice Mother's Day family meal together. My kids got me movies, pink jeweled sunglasses and pink slippers and Tim got me a new tea kettle.

4. Easter was nice. We went to our Sunday School class, church service, then had a family meal together.

5. Logan disected a frog to end Biology this year.

6. We're just about done the school year and I'm in the planning stages for next year.

7. I hosted a Ladies Tea for my Sunday School group. There was 10 of us enjoying tea together here with a Tropical menu and beach theme while the guys went shooting on Cinder Mountain. It was a really fun day.

8. I'll be heading the the valley next week for a few days. I'll get to visit with a few of my friends, and soak up some sun, and get warm again, but Tim will be working and using the car most of the time. Hopefully we'll get to a movie for our 19th Anniversary and shop at Sprouts for organic and healthy foods we can't get up here on the mountain.

9. I had a really enjoyable 3 hour conversation with my mother on the phone just before Mother's Day.

10. I'm in the middle of reading all kinds of good books that aren't school related. I only get a few weeks a year to do that because I'm always busy reading the kids' books for school.

Here's some pictures:
