Caleb being very brave...until they all "FLEW" by him.
Cougar...looking kind of like a cougar ready to pounce!
Bickelle and Caleb, she has an amazing affect with children.
Natalie & Brody, with Tiffany's poodles, Ollie&Tucker.Natalie has a special touch with animals,
no one can catch a chicken SO gently,
the chicken doesn't even realize he's caught!
These little cousins sure do like each other..Caleb & Brody
Caleb sat on my lap such a long time,watching video's of Uncle Michael riding his trials bike,
saying; " Varoom... Varoom!"
He'd climb up on top of the little dog, onto the lamp table and over the back of the couch!
Caleb was up, over and into everything in such a cute way!
Hiding in the Barbie house...
standing at the window with "Cougar"...woofing at each other.
I love this weekend..it is our church's General Conference,
two days of wonderful talks by church leaders and beautiful music
by The Tabernacle Choir,
family visits..most especially the grand kids, and good food.
Conference is always so uplifting, helping me to keep my focus on the solid,
trust-able things of life. I'm so grateful for the Savior's gospel and that He is in charge of this world and leading us everyday with his great love and tender mercies.

I'm looking forward to Easter this weekend... to get you in the mood;
"Where do Easter Bunnies go for new tails?"... (To the Retail store)
"What happened to the egg when he was tickled too much? "... (He cracked up!)
"What kind of jokes do eggs tell?"... (Egg Yolks!)

I love your previous post too... can't get enough of looking at baby animals! how sweet and tender... as well as the new bunny!
Happy Easter to you and I'm so grateful to have found such wonderful people here!

Conference weekend is my favorite! Carrot cake comes in second. And your babies, well, they are the most beautiful, aren't they? Lucky you!
The carrot cake sounds wonderful...I have a may birthday coming up and the birthday boy loves carrot cake...I may have to give this a whirl....Happy Easter to you and your family!
Hi Julie,
You sure have a lot of darling grandchildren!! You lucky gal! The cake sounds yummy, the jokes were funny and it sounds like you'll be having a wonderful Easter. Enjoy! Cindy
The carrot cake looks devine! I think I will make it for our Easter dessert. The Hubby can't have nuts in anything but if I grind them up it's okay and you still get the taste. :o)
Precious pictures of your grandchildren. I only have two and enjoy them every minute that they are here!!!!! Looking forward to tomorrows service and then family time.
Thank you for commenting on Skipper's story. Kind words help put a balm on a hurting heart.
Enjoy your Easter as we celebrate our Lord's victory over the grave!! xoxox
Julie, There are great genetic pools going on with your off-spring that provided such pretty grandkids!
And I'm in love with Cougar!!
Happy Easter!
You're right, your new posts didn't show up!!
Love the jokes and now you can think of all of us eating your carrot cake, must try.
Wanted to tell you this as I know you love the choir also:
during intermission of the conference the MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR TOUR from last June that we were so blessed to have gone on with them will broadcast on the BYU STATION.
Everyone is so excited to finally see it. Touring the Midwest with this group was a turning point in my life.
Hope you can have a chance to watch some of it. I will just sit there and boo hoo through it all.
Hope your feeling somewhat better, just stay slow.
what did we do before grandchildren? sweet photos!!!
Glad to see you are up and feeling better! I have this same carrot cake recipe and I have had it for the past 30 years! Yummy!
Have a wonderful Easter weekend and enjoy the conference! I will!
Hugs, Ann
Those babies are absolutely gorgeous!
Happy Easter to you. :)
I'm a new fan of carrot cake! It's just the yummiest thing ever. Thanks for the recipe. Have a wonderful Easter:)
Dear Julie,

Hi Julie,
I am so glad that you are feeling well and that you are back posting. I always enjoy your posts so much, as you know grandchildren just melt my heart. You have such a beautiful family and I know that tomorrow will be special for you for many reasons. enjoy! and be blessed.
I read your previous post and enjoyed it so much. Brody is adorable, what is it about babies feet that we just swoon over, I love to kiss their little footsies.
I too love animals and agree that God expects us to care for them as they bring so much joy to our lives. Cougar adds so much to your family, your grandchildren will have many wonderful memories to carry them through life.
I always leave being so blessed. Thank you for always sharing such wonderful recipes too.
Hugs,
Sue
Hi again,
Yes conference is wonderful...always love to watch/listen...I always have a big lump in my throat by the end of each session. Makes one very grateful and wanting to do better!
In Arizona a local tv station carried it for a few years but stopped this year...so we usually watch or listen through the internet. Tomorrow we will hook up the projector to the computer and watch it on the big screen like a movie...my husband does this...don't ask me how it is done!
What sweet pictures - love the one of your grandson and Cougar at the window!
Happy Easter (even though a day late) I hope it feels like Easter weekend for you all year long!
Delicious looking Carrot Cake and one of my favorites!
Good Morning,
So glad that you had a great Easter! Conference was the best! I am so grateful that we have a living prophet!!
I certainly feel that we were spiritually fed. Now, I need to work at the things that we were taught and become a better servant to our Heavenly Father :)
We are getting storm clouds here...yucky. I'm fixin to pack my bags and move to a warmer place!
