I thought I would share some more photos from my fantastic Mother's day weekend with my family. After I returned home from work Saturday afternoon I was happy to see that Mike was feeling better than the night before. We think he had a nasty case of food poisoning from eating some pasta (with cream sauce) that was left out at his work. He was pretty miserable Friday night but much, much better on Saturday afternoon. After Paige came home from her friends we all headed up to the mall. Megan had some shopping to do for her sister's birthday, plus she had saved up eight dollars of her own money from the tooth fairy and chores and it was about to burn a hole in her pocket. When we reached the mall we split up to do our shopping and agreed to meet back in forty minutes. After we met back up we decided to grab some dinner at Molly Woo's. Mike must have regained his appetite because he ordered some "firecracker chicken".
So that is where the photo's begin...at our table at Molly Woo's....

Here are our " waiting for our dinner let's take some cute photos" . You do know that I have to take a couple like the ones below to get just one like the one above. They think their comedians, and then they get tired of me taking their pictures. If they would just smile nice we could be done with one flash of the camera.



Ya know how "there's one in every crowd?" Well Megan is "OUR ONE"!

The girls enjoy eating their honey chicken with chopsticks....nothing like getting to play with your food in a fancy restaurant. They give the kids these cool little plastic doo dads that the kids attach to their chopsticks so they stay together like tweezers.

After a nice breakfast of waffles and scrambled eggs prepared by Mike we headed out to the backyard to plant our salsa garden.


Mike removed the sod and then we turned the soil. Paige was in charge of fetching rocks and roots out of our plot.


Rebel and Rowdy supervised...it's what they do best.


While Mike was transplanting the sod he removed. Paige, Megan and I got busy with the planting.

After the garden was in we had lunch and headed to the ponds to go fishing. As soon as we got there Mike baited Megan's new fishing pole for her. He showed her how to cast it and she was off and fishing like an old pro.


It was not long...less than a minute when she got her first bite. She had lots of coaching...."Pull up...Set the Hook.....Reel it in....KEEP reeling..... (as her little pole is bending like a bow). So the youngest caster caught the BIGGEST fish of the day...a Bluegill that was a little over 71/2 inches long.
I know this shot above is not perfect but I love how her eyes are in the shadow of her hat and you can see her big grin.
Then this one below is "classic Megan".....commonly referred to as the "FREAK OUT FACE!"


Oh look finally a perfectly normal nice shot :)
Yep Paige and I were there too...the fish count was 9 fish...each of us girls caught two and Mike caught three (show off).
