"Get Hammer'd" needs to go!

This past Saturday, we took the boat out for its first voyage this year! It ran great, and we are getting pumped for our trip to the lake. Eric got to use the wake board tower for the first time, and he did awesome. Only 10 days until we leave! And we will be so busy leading up to that, I am sure it will go very fast!

Maddie turns 6 this weekend, and we are having a birthday party for her. Her actual birthday is Father's day, so, I would like to plan something fun to do for that day. Maybe boating? Maybe something else? I don't know! But, since we have her on her birthday, we need to make the most of it! :) I can't believe she is already 6 years old. Growing like a weed! (well, getting taller, not thicker...just like her daddy!)

We have been getting so much rain here, its crazy. No flooding. But the ground just stays wet! I guess that has been good for the flowers. My hydrangea bush has a bloom on it for the first time since I planted it probably three years ago! I guess I never watered it enough! Its a pink bloom. So pretty! Lets just hope for no rain Saturday when I have people over for the party....wouldn't want all those people frolicking in my house! :)

Speaking of the boat again, I want to rename it. Eric, on the other hand, thinks its bad luck. It is currently named "Get Hammer'd" Now, that might sound clever to some, but it references the last name of people we bought it from...Hammer. I can't acutally come up with a new clever name, but I still think we need to change it. Apparently, it's not bad luck IF you perfrom a special ceremony when renaming the boat. You have to pray to the God of the Water, break a bottle or something....I don't know. But, I think it needs done. Hopefully, I can convince Mr. Scott that as well....I just need to come up with something good to name her. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

Countdown to Dale Hollow

Hello!

Eric is done planting! Well, kinda. We thought he was, but he has to go back and replant a few fields that aren't growing right. The heavy rain too soon after planting makes the dirt really hard and it makes the beans have trouble growing....or something like that. Eric tells me these things, and I try to really pay attention! :) Sooooooooo...we are hoping to get the boat out this weekend for a little trip. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather!

We have Madison staying with us right now for some of her summer break. It's been nice having her with us. She spent the night with Granny Mel (my mom) Saturday night while Eric was working and I went to the Rascal Flatts concert with my girlfriends. They had fun together, as usual! She spent today with my Aunt Mary Kay. She lives on a small lake, and they swam and took a ride on the pontoon. She had a blast, as usual. And tomorrow she is going to spend the day with Tami (my step mom). They are going up to see Aunt Diana, Jacob and Will in Indy for the day. So, I am sure that will be a great time too. Then tomorrow night she will have a softball game. She's staying pretty busy! And since I work nights, I haven't seen her that much :( But I am off tonight and this weekend.

Our Dale Hollow trip is approaching...18 days! We are so ready to get down there and enjoy the sun and lake on our boat for a whole week! Its going to be a great time! (I will miss my puppies though :( )Then two weeks after that, we are spending a week for our anniversary in the Bahamas at my Aunt Toni's beach house. Yay! SO EXCITED for all of that! Then, hopefully after those trips, we can focus on something else......details to follow :)
