Were did May go?

May has been a tough month for keeping up with the blog and I apologize to my couple of steady readers.

Uncle Matt was visiting so we took the "Nelly 1" out for her maiden voyage and a little fishing for the boys. They were so excited to get out and had a great time, of course the fact that the battery died for the motor in the first two minutes did not bother them as they didn't have to paddle. I got the battery all charged up and can't wait to get out again...

Jessica went to check on Aidan before going to bed and this is how we found him snoring away.
I know that reading helps you sleep but I'm not quite sure it was meant to help in this way. That's actually a joke book so maybe he was doing some studying by osmosis.

I should also mention that Jessica has been training for a half marathon and considering she thought I was nuts a year ago when I suggested she try a 5k she's come along way. She once told me that I inspired her with my motivation to run but now she inspires me. Great job Nell and can't wait to meet you at the finish line on Sunday!

I've also been busy doing some landscaping in the backyard and have now leveled and put down sod where the hockey rink was and finished building and filling Jessica's garden boxes.

The boys are both in Lacrosse and Riley also started playing soccer at the rec center. Aidan is doing very well with his bike and RiGuy likes riding on his new Tag a long bike or as he calls it "the bike with two seats".

Pepper is coming along with the house traing and has continued to grow. We figure she's over 40lbs now which makes her heavier then our RiGuy. She's learning fast and I'm going to take her to some fly ball training to help burn some energy and maybe a few pounds!
