The Maughans

May was such a busy month for us. I can't believe it came and in a blink of an eye it is gone. It's started with a bang and left with a bang. Since Matt finished his crazy semester we (he and Tim) were finially able to get the garden in. Here Matt is teaching Timmy how to use the hose to water our strawberries. Matt, my mom and I were talking in the house and noticed that Porter wasn't around. So we frantically started searching for him. This is where we found him. All cozied up in the dog igloo. Silly Porter! :) He is such a character I don't know what we would do without him. We love him so much!

Matt took Porter and Tim on the Father and son's campout this year. They had a blast! My boys love love love to go camping!

I think Tim wanted to carry Porter in the backpack.

We had Emmett's blessing. I think he just looks like an angel. He is the sweetest baby, he is such a blessing to our family. We are so grateful for him and the wonderful baby he is!

He is the cutest baby ever!!

We have loved having Matt for summer break he so much more relaxed! These are my boys having fun before bedtime!

Tim loves Emmett! He always tells me Emmett is his favorite! :)

For the last 3 weeks in May Porter was cutting his canine teeth or eye teeth. Here is a picture of them. It was so sad. He had fevers and diarrhea. And was so onry. But, now that it's over he is back to being Porter again!

We found a slug early one morning! It was Tim's first time seeing a slug. He loved it!

The park district here does an event called Touch a Truck. It was so fun! We got to go as a family! Yay!! We got free coldstone ice cream and got to see some really cool trucks. My favorite is the Raminator. It is so cool!

It's softball season agian. Which means all summer we go to softball games on Thursday night to support Matt and his Team. They have been playing together for 3 years now and have won a total of 6 games now. We still love to go and get treats and cheer on dad! This is a picture of a sunset I took while driving to one of the softball games.

For Memorial Day weekend we went camping in the Wisconsin Dells. We met my brother Noah and his family. My mom came with us! It was a blast. This is a picture of our packed truck on the way up. We stopped for dinner at the fun little local rootbeer stop.

Eli celebrated his 2 year birthday! It was so fun to be a part of it.

This is our campfire on Sunday night. We met some fun friends at church and invited them to come to our campsite and have dinner with us. It was a blast. It was funny because they are the MONS. So same last name spelled differently!

We went swinging on Sunday night at the park it was so much fun.

This is such a cute picture of my mom! I love it! :)

Here we are: Matt and Porter, Timmy and I, Mom, and Noah.

Porter had an issue running into the road. No matter what we did or said we would constantly be running into the road. So finially on Sunday I said we are going to tie him up. So we did! This is him almost getting loose :)!

Timmy swimming at the indoor water park. He is such a fish! Watch out Lake Powell here we come!

Noah's Family

Noah and Eli

Matt and Porter on the lazy river I think we went around 5 or 6 times!

Thanks for the fun trip Noah and Ashley we had a blast! Hopefully it will be a tradition!

Abby and Austin joined the Taylor family 2 weeks ago. They are so fun. It's so great to have them here. They are such a wonderful family!

Matt has been working hard on his research plots. It so great to see his farmer tan come back and he is so happy! I love it when he is happy. We went out to meet him a few nights ago and take him dinner. The boys were able to get on the tractor and get a taste of the farm! It's so sad we live so far from Montana. I took this picture and I love it. It makes my heart melt. Seeing him ride his tractor! I just love it!!

The boys sitting on the car so they don't get run over by the tractor. All the boys (except Emmett) got buzzes for the summer! They are so cute!

Matts corn!

This is Emmett tonight. Can you believe how big he is? He is growing up way to fast.

When Matt was working with Tim in the back yard he taught him how to drink out of the hose. Well, Matt turned off the water before Timmy got a chance to take a drink so he went to go turn it back on and this is what Timmy was doing with the hose. I'm taping this from inside the house! I'm so glad I caught it on film!

So this is my marathon post. I also got a chance to go up to Chicago to visit my friend Jill who came into town. It was such a fun day on the town. We stopped in at Dave's place an hung out with him and Jess for a while it was really fun. I don't have any pictures because she took them all and hasn't updated her blog yet. But, when she does I will post them on here.

Well I'm off to Utah on Tuesday! Maybe I will post while I'm there but, if not you can expect another marathon post at the end of June! We have lots of fun plans with Utah and Lake Powell!
