May Update

It has officially been forever since I have updated my blog. I hate not having a computer. We are saving money for a vacation and so we have to wait to get a new computer. May was a busy month so I just thought I'd share a few of the things we did this month. Since I am writing and posting this at the end of June we'll see how good my memory is. There wasn't a whole lot of good weather this month but the few days that were good we took advantage of it. Here is a few pictures of Grandpa Galloway's pond. The big boys decided to get out the boat and put it in the pond and of course all the kids had to have a boat ride.

Brynlie found a stick and had to pretend that she was fishing. They got new fishing poles for Christmas but hadn't had a chance to try them out yet. The stick was plenty fun for her this day.

Just a few pics of my cute and nutty girls.

We were anxious this month to plant our garden. The strawberries were the first things we planted. Porter made a planter box for the strawberries and the girls helped plant. I thought it was way too cold to be outside so I took a picture and then went in. We did finally get the rest of the garden planted and we planted a whole lot. We tried just about everything, just to see what we could grow and if we would use it. I guess we'll see when everything is ready to be harvested and then we can plan our garden better next year.



During the middle of May I went with some friends of mine to Bear lake for an overnight getaway. These girls have been friends of mine since I was little. We all grew up in the same ward and area and we have stayed in touch all these years. We had a lot of fun talking, eating, playing truth or dare, etc. It was too bad it was for only one night. We all decided that it will have to be longer next year.


Porter stayed home with the girls while I was away. I think they love it when I go because Porter always has fun stuff planned for the girls and they love it. He ended up taking the girls to his softball practice, then out to eat and then he took them bowling. The girls didn't even miss me.




Rylie had her Kindergarten graduation the end of May. It's sad to think my little girl is growing up. I really can't say if Rylie liked Kindergarten or not. I guess it depended on the day. She did really well and always got the highest marks available on the tests. She even over came a lot of her shyness and made quite a few friends. We are very proud of her.

Rylie and some of her friends from school.

There hasn't been a lot to do for the kids outside since we live in a big dirt pile but leave it up to them and they always find something to do and they are always getting filthy doing it. This picture is of my girls making their own slide. They would go up to the top of the hill and slide down on their bums. They didn't care how dirty they got or how many pairs of pants they ruined , just so long as they had fun.

This is a picture of the girls after playing outside. This is pretty much what they look like everyday. I don't even think that they played on the dirt pile this day, they just have to go outside and this is how filthy they get.



Grandma and Grandpa Galloway got a goat and it is a very friendly goat. The kids absolutely loved it for the first few weeks. It would follow them around and they would feed it and play with it. The goat had a baby shortly after this picture was taken but the baby died. Now the goat is staked around to keep weeds down and the girls have grown tired of it.

Here is the girls playing in our muddy backyard after it had rained. They would put on their rain boots and go play in the mud. I can't wait until we have a yard and I don't have to deal with dirt and mud any more. I guess one way to sum up the month of May would be a very dirty month.
