Headed to the mail box...Our little Zack is riding "shot-gun."
These two grandsons love to sit in the chair and look out our windows,trying to spot something down on the river...the little guy thinks he's got it in his sights!
Who says we can't "make ends meet around here?"Bo and Zack...Little buddies~
This weekend held lots of fun...going to a SIL's baseball game...
My daughter and her husband Michael and their little dog Charlie~
Our daughter Tiffany snapping a picture of her brave little son who just loved playing in the cold water!
What a rider this kid is...he is 2..there are no training wheels on his bike...he gets to the top of the hill and raises his feet and down he comes...
balancing himself and not falling.... loving every moment of it!
He also loves to jump in mud puddles!
The cutest little flower at the park!
She can raise herself up onto her feet from a sitting position...that would kill me!
She loves chewing on sticks~
Tiffany and Ella...Me...Lindsey, due in July...and Caleb
Ohhh, the sweet, sweet moments of being with grand children!
Two of my daughters and little ones on such a pretty day!
I say...laughing with grand children...is better than laughing with angels!
Such a fun day!

darling apron but even cuter grandchildren. but i don't think they are part of the giveaway or are they?
Hi Julie
Thanks for stopping by. I did have a wonderful day with the family and I see you did too. You are such a beautiful grandmother. Your family is lovely. I would love the apron as you can imagine I would make use of it since I do a lot of baking. Favorite colour is green, too. :) Hugs, Deb
Cute apron! Cute grandkids! And can I say that when I first read about the chocolate and socks, my brain went ahead of myself, and I thought you were sending some sort of chocolate fruit aloe scented socks! I'll blame pregnant brain! Has me laughing tho!
=)
Blessings,
Megan
green and white just right for my busyness in the kitchen!
LOVE all those family pictures, Julie...thanks for sharing! That Caleb is such a daredevil, isn't he? :)

Love the giveaway! This apron is beautiful.
Take care honey
Maggie
O, our grandchildren are such delights to us...you look so young and pretty to be a grandmother..and I KNOW first-hand what joy they bring.
Your apron giveaway is awesome. This looks like the kind that my mother used to wear. I sure wish I had some of her aprons...I can't even beGIN to imagine what happened to all of them. Garage sales maybe....:(
As I grow older, I find myself thinking of those things...and the dishes we had while I was growing up...where are they now?? I do have quite a lot of things from her...for which I am proud. And, I think of things I wish now I had asked her when she was with us....*heavy sigh....
ANYWAY..dear heart, please add my name to your hat for the awesome giveaway. And, I appreciate the chance to win.
hugs, bj
Beautiful pictures of your precious family!!!!
Hello from Canada! ! I found you by way of Gooseberry Patch and really enjoyed seeing the pictures of your family and your special spot in the world....lovely. I'm sure I will be back often.If I had that apron I would hang it with the 3 others that were my mothers although they aren't as fancy but I treasure them just the same. God bless.........Mary
I'm a new reader to your blog....I found you off of my dear friend Tracy's blog. I always enjoy reading the comments you leave Tracy. Hope you don't mind me taking a peek @ your life....I love the apron, so very cute!
Julie...

Motherhood & Grandparent hood has definitely treated you well Julie. You look like one of the sisters in that photo with your beautiful daughters... how youthful you still look... what a wonderful day! Your grandchildren are so cherubic in appearance they look like little angels.
Thank you for sharing these intimate family photos with us..they're just precious.
I have 3 sons ages 23, 21 & the youngest is 13. It really is a life affirming role becoming a mother & one that I am ever so grateful to have been able to experience in my lifetime.
Have a wonderful day Julie!
I love the pictures of your grandchildren!
YOU look so GOOD! Way to recover!
Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend.

DEAR JULIE,
WHAT AN AWESOME CLIFF BEHIND YOUR HOUSE...HOW COULD A PERSON NOT BELIEVE THERE IS A GOD WITH BEAUTY LIKE THAT.
I HAVE A LITTLE ROMEO JUST LIKE YOUR ZACK...HE HAS A PERFECT WHITE HEART ON HIS CHEST. WE ADOPTED HIM AFTER OUR ONLY DAUGHTER GRADUATED TO HEAVEN. HE IS QUITE THE CHARACTER AND LOVES TO WEAR CLOTHES. ALL OUR CATS AND DOGS ARE RESCUE FUR BABIES.
YOUR GRANDCHILDREN ARE JUST PRICELESS AND SO BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME.
BOTH MY CHILDREN ARE MIRACLES AND 7 YEARS APART. MY SON IS 26 AND HAS BEEN MARRIED FOR 3 YEARS JUNE 1, 2010. THEY HAVE NO PLANS FOR CHILDREN FOR YEARS. MY DAUGHTER WAS 33 YEARS OLD WHEN SHE GRADUATED TO HEAVEN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO. CHILDREN ARE OUR HERITAGE OF THE WORLD AND BLESSED IS THE MAN WITH A FULL QUIVER.
I AM EXCITED TO FIND ANOTHER CHRISTIAN WOMAN TO BE FRIENDS WITH AS A THREE CORD BOND IS NOT EASILY BROKEN.
YOUR APRON IS STUNNING...THAT IS ME A VINTAGE GIRL AND I LOVE GINGHAM CHECKS OR POLK-A-DOTS...THEY JUST MAKE ME SMILE.
HOW LOVELY OF YOU TO GIVE AWAY ONE A MONTH.
LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW YOU.
I FOUND YOU ON CINDY'S BLOGROLL
