A SIMPLE Mother's Day

Most mom's might like a new outfit or purse for Mother's Day.

Or maybe some shiny new jewelry.

Not me.

What did I ask for this Mother's Day?

A VEGETABLE GARDEN!

That's right.

I am a simple kind of girl.

I don't care about THINGS that much.

At least not for myself.

I could care less if I have something cute or new.

I would rather use that money and buy something for the family or the girls.

So this year I wanted homegrown veggies all summer long.

What is better than that?

Here are some fun pictures from the day before Mother's Day 2009.

Sophie loved digging in the dirt.

What a helper!
Taking the dirt to the wheelbarrow with such grace.


Mia and Sophie helping clear out our garden area.

Look at them go!

What's that I hear.... the ICE CREAM MAN!!!!

They HAD to take a "break" to get a treat.



The girls' first purchase from the ice cream man in our new neighborhood!

SPONGE BOB Pops!

I asked Sophie to hold it up for a picture and she literally held it UP.

Having a chat garden side.

The girls helping Daddy plant away.

After picture.

I love my garden!
Thank you so much Steve, Mia, Sophie and Gracie

Here are a few pics of what my Mother's Day morning looked like.

Mia hit for awhile.

Sophie shagged.

I love action shots!

Mia was so in to playing Frisbee with Dad.

She thought she was a professional "thrower."

After our morning fun we headed to my Grandma V's for a fun filled afternoon with family.

It was a great Mother's Day.

Filled with family.

My girls

(Of course! How could I not be with my girls on Mother's Day!)

Simple.

Just the way I like things.

The night ended early (amazing for us!) yet the girls still passed out in the car.

They were so exhausted from such a fun day!
