potato

Last week Haylee threw a potato and it hit Grace right in the mouth. It, of course, did some decent damage - as a large potato would hitting your face straight on.
I was getting potatoes out to cook last night and Grace said to me, "Mommy, please don't throw potatoes at my mouth. It hurts. It makes me bleed. Please, please Mommy, don't throw a potato at me."
I said to her, (trying really hard not to laugh) "Gracie, Mommy would never, ever throw potatoes at you."
To which she responded, "Well, Haylee did and it hurt. Please don't throw it at me, okay, Mommy?"
Poor little girl! She's completely traumatized by potatoes.

Bright

Last week we took a vacation up to Bright. It's a beautiful, quaint little mountain town and because we are going into Autumn, the weather and scenery were gorgeous. We had a really great time together! It's about a 3.5 hour drive and all three girls did so well in the car - we were so proud of them. Anyhow, here's our week in photos. Enjoy!

We took a family drive to the very top of the mountains. We hiked around and the girls loved all of the nature and getting dirty :)

Photobucket Haylee was so adorable. She said to me, "Mommy, I take off my shoes. My feet wanna feel the rock." Okay Haylee.

It was COLD up there and her little tosies were little pieces of ice. She didn't even notice.

Happy Mother's Day mom. I love you. Thank you for your example and all of your sacrifice. You are one incredible mom to have raised all 5 of us. You did it and even stayed sane...mostly. :)
