A CARLOAD, A BLACK EYE, & A BLESSING

We had quite the weekend. My mom and I took six kids all under the age of six from Phoenix up to my parents house in Colorado City. My three plus Jake and Nicole's three who were down visiting their grandparents. (Nicole came up two days later with Dwayne we just didn't have any more room in the car! Plus it gave her more time to visit with her family.) Usually it's a seven hour drive, but it ended up being a little longer. =) We managed to make it with only two scheduled stops for potty, playtime, and food and two unscheduled for potty and the crankies! All in all the kids did great though.
While we were there Rebekah was playing with a claw hammer (which mommy asked her not to do) and managed to bounce it off a log and hit her eye. Luckily all it did was scare mom and grandma with the blood and give her a pretty good shiner.
The highlight of the trip was being able to see baby Elly (Elizabeth May Heaton my brother Jerris' little girl) blessed. They are such happy new parents and they LOVE their new little girl.
And the whole reason for the trip
was to be able to see both the new additions to the Heaton family. I just don't know which one is cuter! Elizabeth May (left) or Kaylee Isabella (right). Congratulations to the new mommies and daddies!


For Grandma: here are the rest of the pictures from the trip. Thought you might like to see some pictures of my mom's new house.
