You know your getting old when................

It's a Friday night. Your friends have traveled close to 100 miles to come hang out. The kids are all gone, sleeping at their friends house and the best thing you can come up with to do is play Boggle! Damn we are getting old!!!
Joel, Ryan, Casey and Angie gettin' their game on.
Joel didnt believe me that moot was a word so he had to challange it. Needless to say he lost!

I thought Joel was going to pee his pants, he was laughing sooooo hard.We had a lot of fun. It's been a long time since we have hung out with Angie and Ryan.

Our first trip of the year


Oh the first camping trip of the year!! Getting the trailer loaded and everything ready seems like it will never end, but when your done the fun begins. We went to Otter Creek with some friends this weekend, and even though it rained ALOT of the time we still had so much fun!
Kaylee was the first of us to catch a fish and might I add the only one to catch it from shore!

He's a monster

She also caught this cute little Duck! He let her real him in all the way to shore before he started freaking out.
Cody, Mitch and Colby shooting their BB guns. I swear that's all the did the entire weekend.Katelynn and Colby playing in all "that squishy green stuff" (sea weed).

And last but definetly not least Joel, Jake, Casey and Mitch showing off their days catch. They had only been out on the boat for a few hours and out fished all of us back on shore a hundred fold.

Good work boys!

What a difference a few days makes

Look how much they have grown in the last 10 days. I still have 1 Watermelon and 2 Cantalope that have not sprouted yet, they will (at least that's what I keep telling myself). Does anyone know how big they need to be before I transplant them outside?

Plant them and they WILL grow!!

Joel and I were at Home Depot a few weeks ago and I have been buggin' him about planting a garden this year. The weather has not been cooperating so nothing is prepared for planting. I thought "why not start them in Peat Pots like we did at Dads last year. I was standing in the store looking like an idiot not knowing what to buy. Organic or not? I found some that advertised on the package "GUARENTEED TO GROW". Perfect!!!! Those of you who know me, know that I do not have a green thumb. I thought well... if they don't grow I will return them and get my money back. Surley it would have to be the product not the planter right? Last Tuesday I finally had a few minutes to get them started. I got a scoop full of compost from the neighbors and mixed it with some dirt. Low and behold 6 short days later my Pumpkins, Squash, Zuccini and Cucumbers are sprouting. I have yet to see any green coming out of my pots that I planted Waermelon and Cantalope in (hopefully in time) if they don't grow I'm takin' them back. It's so fun to watch them grow bigger every day. I am so proud of myself!!!! The only thing that would have made it better is if I would have had a coupon for the seeds LOL LOL! I am willing to share some of my Squash and Zuccini. What am I going to do with it all? I am the only one who will eat it.
Here they are in all their glory.
