Welcome dear friends...welcome Valentines day...welcome to life and to the love that fills each and every day~
Driving over the mountain the other day, it looked like this. A giant cloud covered the highway, it looked like we were driving into another world! This same bunch of clouds covered a whole town beneath this....so cool~
Winter is finally here, we got a couple of good snow storms...one of my windows at the top of the great room~
Little five month old Ella has found her toes, and apparently they taste so good...(Wish I could do that!)
Oh...she wants to say that she found her tongue too...see!
A sweet little grandson...loves his hats! Wish I could look that cute with my ears pushed down!
Peek-a-boo...is such a fun game, have you tried it lately?
I snapped this yesterday...it's right outside my kitchen window...just thought it was pretty with the mountains, snow and cattle~
A new red shelf that matches part of my kitchen cabinets...trying out which things I like on it, or not~
And a new sign...love it!
Valentines Day is next week...one of my very favorite holidays...love to spread the love~
Sweet messages at the door~
Love banner...it's fun to decorate the house for Valentines Day~
Love is in the air...can you feel it?Getting so excited for valentines day...Next post I will share lots of Valentine goodies and recipes with you.
What are you doing to get ready for Valentines Day?
Sending lots of xoxoxo's to you!

Hi Julie!

Hi Julie,
I've seen you commenting on many of the same blogs I read and thought I would stop by and say hi! Your home in the header and the view is absolutely beautiful. I don't think I would ever get anything done if I had that kind of view!! I love all of your Valentine decorations, they are all so sweet. The grands are adorable also. It sounds like you have a big, BIG family. Hope you are enjoying your Monday. Stop by and visit sometime.♥
My son used to wear his hat like that when he was little too. It's so cute.
Well, hi Julie, it's just so nice to meet you! Thanks for checking out my blog, and being the 200th follower!! That's something! ;D
I have loved looking at your pics and at all those grands..... I so look forward to being a grammy one day.....hopefully it won't be too terribly long!
So, so glad you came to visit!

Oh, Julie- the pictures of the landscape around you is just gorgeous... but the pictures inside are to die for! And no matter what you try out on your little red shelf- the chickies have my vote to stay! *LOL*
Miss Ella is such a little doll! And you're right- I wish I could wear my hats like grandboy, too!
Hugs from Tennessee!

Wow, your house is beautemous! Love the Valentines stuff. I personally don't have a thing decorated.......I'm sorta blah.
Hubby is out of town. Maybe I should spruce things up for when he comes home.
Thanks for the visit !
Love your grandchildren...... adorable !!
I wish I could do that with my toes too. hehehe...
That red shelf is so sweet,I have one similar maybe a tad bigger in dark maple,I keep mostly white milk glass on it.

Very pretty things Julie! your grandaughter is the cutest.Love when they find their toes,lol.I remeber my girls when they did.
I love that shelf its just adorable.Have a nice day!
Oh my goodness, the view around your home is just amazing! What a blessing to be surrounded by all of that beauty!!
So glad you stopped by, I love meeting new friends. Your grands are beautiful, isn't being a grandmother the most wonderful thing in the world?! I like the old saying, 'if I had known it was going to be so much fun having grandchildren I would have had them first'!
How many horses do you have? I read down through a lot of your posts and enjoyed them all.
We are in a deep freeze here right now. I almost froze at the stable yesterday with the guys. I board them in the wintertime about 5 minutes away at a stable that has an indoor arena and then bring them home from April till October.
Well I must get another post up and going as we are leaving for Florida on Thursday. Lots to do, packing and all. Take care!
Hi Julie! Love seeing your little darlings! Your Valentines are so sweet too. That shelf is wonderful and you've got it decked out so beautifully! One more thing - the surroundings where you live just blows me away! You're blessed, Dear One!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
You live in a little piece of Heaven, you know it?? The pictures are GORGEOUS and I love your sweet grandkiddos. You mean you can't suck on your toes?? HA HA Have a good one ~ ♥
Oh my goodness Julie... I can't believe those pics. The first with the cloud and then the one outside your house. UNBELIEVABLE! You live in such a gorgeous spot:)
Looks like your heart and home are ready for the holiday... one that should last all year!

Oh my sweet friend Julie. Thank you for your valentine decorations. I love them! I don't decorated at all and I should. I work at Aunt Elsie's one day a week and we have some very cute valentine things. That big red and white polka dot heart is wonderful. And I love the banner. The words love are great.
I will be having my annual valentine crab dinner on valentines day. I need to do some decorating. Thank you for the inspiration.
Big love hugs
cindy@stitches
I forgot to tell you, your pictures are so beautiful of the out of doors and you babies. I love babies. And the shelf, I want it, it's awesome.
love
cindy
You really do live in a beautiful place. So peaceful there. I love Valentine's Day too. Such a fun happy holiday. Your little grandchildren are adorable. Mimi
Your place is so beautiful, and the desert background makes it appear a foreign and exotic place, yet you're not really that far away from my home.
I think your new 'antique' sign would apply to me..
Cute grandchildren Julie, and what is it about little boys that they all seem to hang their hats firmly on their ears? So cute...
Hi Julie! What an absolutely GORGEOUS and serene view you have from your kitchen window!!! No wonder you are always happy and peaceful. I'm looking forward to Valentine's Day, too. I need to do some baking for my friends and family. :)
i can feel the love!!! from toes and ears to banners and hearts---it's all sweet.
also, thank you for adding me to your blog list sidebar! i really am grateful...yay.
Beautiful!!!
I have the Valentine tablescape going, but I could sure use that banner!!!
you have the most dramatic view i have ever seen from
a kitchen window! i just draggged my non-blogging
husband over to see. it is a treat for me each time
your page appears on the screen.
we are building a cottage in the crested butte mountains, so someday, i will have a view out my
kitchen window, too!
blessings on sweet ella.
Love that red shelf -- blessed you! Like the way you designed all the items -- nicely done but forme I am alwasy changing out this or that - so if you cahnge out be sure to tell me! Love driving out towards your area so I know how beautiful it at deffient times of the year -- like the window with snow cool look. As for babies loving their toes well it's always funny andcute cute!
