What happened to May????

I have no idea what happened to the month of May. I'm glad it's over - and summer's here - and school's (almost) out. So - I'll try to go through kind of quickly, but get my Project 365 posted up here. So - here's my May 1 photo: this is part of our backyard, and if you look closely, there's a turkey back there headed back into the woods.

May 2nd was my friends' Kevin and Emily's wedding. It was held in this beautiful home.
May 4 (2 pics) - we went to visit our friend in the hospital. This little boy had surgery, and once he was well enough to play games, we'd go visit and D would play video games and walk and toss balls back and forth w/ him.
May 5 - here's the back of a building in town, painted w/ a beautiful mural of horses.
May 8 (2 pics) We had a pretty strong storm, tornado sirens, etc. We didn't take the kids in to school until 10 am due to tornado watches and strong straightline winds. I took a pic of the water from the neighbor's downspout being blown almost completely sideways.
These are some treats I made for the teacher appreciation banquet. YUMMY! I got the recipe from Pioneer Woman (link to her site is on my sidebar)
May 9 was a very busy day! I attended a friend's baby shower in the morning,
The kids went to visit their friend in the hospital again,
we attended a friend's birthday,
then the SATO 48 award ceremony. Here's a pic of the kids w/ Frank in the slideshow they were showing. Whew!

Let's finish off April!

I am so far behind! It's crazy! First of all - How was your Mother's Day? Mine was wonderful. My family made me feel so good, and loved. It was the happiest Mother's Day I've had, I think - aside from maybe my very first Mother's Day - when I was expecting my first baby. That one was pretty special, too. :)
Now I'd like to try to catch up on my Project 365. I don't know who else is still going w/ this - but I take so many pics, anyway, it's not very hard for me. I'm just bad about posting them up. I really want to get caught up, though - and I'm taking advantage of this burst of motivation I've got going right now - so this may be a long one.
April 21 (I think that's where we left off - I'm just too lazy to go check my last post) - Well, I had a cute pic of a friend standing on a chair to massage my shoulders, but Blogger is not letting my load any more photos - I'll add it to the next post. :)
April 22 was a beautiful spring day. There are so many wonderful blooming trees and bushes, that I just snapped photo after photo as Hubby drove through town. Here's one of my favorites. I love the mushroom shape of the tree and the way the sunlight is streaming through the branches and down to the bushes below. I love to see actual rays of sunshine on photos. It makes me happy. :)
April 23 was a BMX race night. Here's D on the final stretch to the finish line. He's been finishing 2nd consistently so far this season.
April 24 - The Grandparents came to visit before Grandpa leaves for a couple months for his job. Grandpa brought his inline skates and wanted to go skating w/ D. Angel decided to take her bike and go along. I had pity on Granpa trying to keep up w/ both of them, and followed along w/ my camera. Now that it was a family outing - Grandma and Frank joined the crowd, and we had a lovely walk.
April 25 - was my friends, Kevin and Emily's bachelor/bachelorette party. Here's me w/ Em.
April 26 - I took the kids to a friend's birthday party. They had a lot of fun. :)
April 27 - out enjoying the weather again. D loves to get out his Pocket Rocket and ride around the cul-de-sac.
April 28 - riding the rocket again. This time, he crashed into this bush!
April 29 - This is crazy! We had dinner at Texas Roadhouse. It was kid's night, and they have lots of fun activities. Here, D and two friends are having an applesauce eating contest. Tyler won!
April 30 - I went to school to have lunch w/ the kids. Here's Angel w/ 3 of her friends.
and a few of D's friends sitting across from us.
WHEW!!! I'm ready to start on May now!
