So wow, where have I been? The last week has been crazy to say the least. Eden had her student led conference last Wednesday. She sat down and showed us all her work, read us a book at her reading level, told us about her favorite poems. It was so cute! Her teacher also let us know that she’s at a level 12 reading level which is really great for a kindergartener. They need to be at a level 16 by the end of 1st grade.

Thursday I worked my last day of regular hours at Tangle. We’re now on reduced summer hours and it’s so relaxing! I’ve been feeling like I’m on vacation. Friday the kids stayed at their grandmothers house because we were leaving town early Saturday morning. So we stayed at our friends house in the next town over so we could get an early start. Saturday we went up to Arapahoe Basin where I hung out at the tailgating party for our friend’s birthday and Jim got in his last snowboarding trip for the year. It was crazy to be up in so much snow again.

Sunday was an amazing mothers day – Jim totally spoiled me with a new skillet, sushi making stuff, flowers for the yard, new glasses for my new favorite drink – an Otter Pop, clothes, jewelry and shoes. It was kind of ridiculous… but who am I to complain? Eden had painted me a flower pot at school and led me on a scavenger hunt to find it. She was so excited and so cute.

After we went and had desert at my moms house we went on a hike to the Mica mine not far from town. It was about a 5 mile hike round trip and the kids did great. There was so much run off from the snow that the trail had a big stream going down the middle of it. Needless to say my new Keen’s got soaked, but they are luckily fine. And I missed out taking some amazing shots because I forgot my camera!

And now I’ve got to go visit my Grandma who is in town… but there’s much more to say! Miss you all!
