This is our darling grand daughter Megan...she has the bluest eyes,and she is a tree climber and a little Princess/Tomboy type of girl...
the best kind of a little girl to be!
Megan, her big brother Britton and their littlecousin Brody... (look at that cute face!)
They had to show grandma all their forts and castles
they'd found while camping in the mountains.
We went up to join them, and a couple of our other kidsfor dinner together on Boulder Mountain. See my marshmallow...
perfectly roasted, if you like it that way...some love them burnt!
As it was starting to get dark and we'd packed up to leave, we saw this sweet deer right close by to us, I was amazed at how calm it was.
As we came off the mountain, the sun was setting...
This time of night always makes me feel so peaceful and calm.
We pulled into our place and stopped to shut the chickens in for the night.I loved the headlights
spotlighting our old wagon wheel that leans up against the coop.

" FRUIT TURNOVERS "1 can refrigerated 8 count crescent roll dough
1 (210z.) can pie filling (apple, cherry..whatever)
Heat oven according to directions on dough can.
Separate dough triangles...
lay out on a cookie sheet.
Place 2 spoonfuls of pie filling in center of triangle;
Lay a second triangle over the first and
crimp edges together with a fork
or your fingers.
Bake 8-10 minutes
GLAZE
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
3-4 tsp. water
Drizzle over turnovers
Sprinkle with sliced almonds, if desired.
They are mouth watering good and the only problem with them is, they don't last very long!
OK...I just had to add this....I just think it's funny! :DI seem to be posting more than usual...
I think I am restless waiting for this new
grand daughter to be born... worrying about
my daughter being so uncomfortable.
My bags are packed but I live 2
hours away from her at best!
I know it will happen in it's own good time...
Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be soon now!

Hi Julie
That was a nice post. The mountains are beautiful and your grandchildren are just adorable. Lots of pretty blondes in your family. We enjoy your posts so feel free to post-away if it helps. I can just imagine what you are feeling right now. My two daughters have not had children yet but I can just imagine what I will be like when that time comes. We worry but it all works out. Hope it's soon (for your sake,too).
Hugs, Deb =^..^=x5
I'd say your marshmallows are perfectly roasted!!
This was a fun post!! LOVE the photos!!
Hang in there on the waiting! :-)
beautiful sunset pictures and more beautiful pictures of the grandkids. Let us know when your daughter delivers!!!
Here's hoping the new grandchild arrives safely and soon. I have a grand son due in Sept. It's always nicer after they arrive. Love the pictures though I don't love camping.
I have one of those 'best kind of girls' ;) Kristen has never been in to dolls and princess stuff, she would prefer climbing trees and playing with dinosaurs!
Love the sunset pictures too, so beautiful. What a great day you must have had with the kids.
:)
What a sweep and happy post. Your grandchildren are so cute and your granddaughters hair is so long! Just beautiful :D
I love perfectly roasted marshmallows - YUM!!
Hope your new grandbaby gets here soon - I am sure it is hard to wait.
I am so excited for you! I just saw that you have eight children! I am amazed! We were blessed with only one child. I love hearing about large families!
More fun with family! Megan is a cutie! Is it just the photo or do I see a lot of your husband in her?
Cute comic :)
Hi Julie. I have been having problems commenting on your blog and a couple others. I did the sign in thing over at the follower part. Hope it works.
Your grandchildren are so sweet. That little girl looks like you. What beautiful pictures.
I like my marshmallows burndt. Hmmmm do they have gluten in them. I hope not.
Good luck on the new baby. Can't believe you have 20 and one great. You are so young.
What a beautiful place for dinner!
I'm sure you're anxious for your daughter...it will be a great day for both of you when baby arrives! :)
What a great day in the mountains, and those turnovers look delish, simple too... LOVE THAT! love the wagon wheel. Hope your daughter has her baby soon, so she will be comfortable and relax and you can too. Hugs, Jenn

Camping is soooo much fun..what memories we made as children..roaming the woods..swimming in creeks...building forts out of the strangest things.
I am glad you had fun. The sunset was gorgeous!!

Hugs and Squeezes..Cindy from Rick-Rack and Gingham
Oh my goodness those marshmallows look absolutely perfect! Yum!
Hi Julie,
Your grandkids are all so adorable! And I love your pretty outdoor pics. I went shopping with my daughter today and she is getting so big and so uncomfortable and she has 2 more months. I hope your daughter has that baby soon!
Hugs,
Cindy
Lovely post...Beautiful sunsets, Adorable grandkids, Delish marshmallows, home sweet home, and a FUNNY HA-HA!
Enjoyed it! Thanks for posting.
Oh your poor daughter! Z was three weeks early and the waiting was still torture!
Those turnovers look delish, I'm gonna have to make them for sure...cherry for me!
Your grandkids are just adorable! Hoping your daughter has her baby soon!
Those turn over look so good and so easy. You have the best recipes!
Manuela
Wow, those marshmallows are perfect! The pics are great ~ always enjoy seeing the little ones. Twilight is my favorite too ~ such a peaceful time. The fruit pies look delish...as does everything you cook! Told you I wanted to come there and eat. :-)
This little one will come when she's ready, regardless of everyone's anticipation and excitement. I know you can't wait ~ nearly as much as her mom. Will be neat to see pics of her.
Have a blessed week ~
xoxo

I am so admiring your scenes... Everything looks so dreamy!
I promise I am going to try the turnovers...
I can't believe how big Megan and Britton are getting - guess its been too long since I've seen them. Looks like you guys had a fun time on the mountain. Looking forward to our family campout!
You certainly live in a gorgeous spot!
I love my marshmallow just like you do...those ARE perfect!
Best wishes for that baby to come soon! :)
that is exactly how i like my marshmallows.
expecting the arrival of a new grand baby at any minute is so exciting!
Hi Julie, how beautiful the mountains are and those grandkids look very eatible. Wow, what a perfect marshmellow and you always make cooking look so good.
There is no better time in life then waiting for a new baby. I'm jealous. What a cute grandma you are.
Have a great evening.
come visit
cindy@stitches
Okay stop, just stop it. Everytime you post a recipe I have to try it. There goes the diet. Oh well...summer is almost over, I won't be going to the pool and getting in a swimsuit anyway.
By the way...I was ready to make some reservations for Emily and Eric for next summer at Rockin' R Ranch...until I saw the cost...$Cha Ching$ A little spendy, but I'm sure it's well worth it.
Oh, those are precious children! I remember play castles and forts up on the top pasture...sticks, rocks and pretty much anything we could drag up there. My sweet father allowed us to make such a mess...never saying aloud, I'm sure what he was thinking...Oh to be young.
So sorry about the issues with my site accepting comments...I am trying to figure out how to fix it permanently...but for the time being it is only a "band aid"
smile on Rosie
This looks like a fun and memorable time with the grandchildren ( some of them) and soon, maybe even now, your new grandchild will be here!They do have a way of arriving into this world in their own sweet time, don't they?
Ah, what a perfectly roasted marshmallow too, just my style.
Julie,
Glad you're not just pacing the floor! What cute grands and toasting marshmallows and beautiful scenery and even a little deer. Your turnovers look divine too. Hang in there and keep posting...I love it and need constant updates!
Your pictures always make me want to visit your area of the country. I hope that baby come soon and I know yall are so excited, I would be too.
Your grand daughter is beautiful :)
The marshmallow is perfectly toasted... I always burn mine.
Love the sunset photo.
Mmmmmm... turnovers.
Thanks for you lovely comment aout my girls room.

Cute picture of your granddaughter. She's a doll. Looks like a fun time camping.
Great pictures. I love the wagon wheel.
the children are so cute. love the photos esp. the sunset. hope soon you will be traveling to see a new grandchild and blessed days.
Megan sure has the prettiest hair! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this new little grandbaby to get her soon! Can't wait to see pics of her...
Awwww the grandchildren are soooo CUTE! It looks like a beautiful spot on the mountain....your marshmallows are roasted PERFECTLY...YUM!!! I LOVE seeing deer and that one is sooooo CLOSE!
Your turnovers sound delicious and so EASY....YUM!!
How exciting another new grandbaby!!! Enjoy every moment. Your dinner on the Mountain looks amazing....what sweethearts your grandchildren are...oh JOY!

Lovely pictures of lovely moments, Julie. Do enJOY every moment with your adorable grandchildren! xx
Wonderful evening! My kind of dinner "out"!!
New babe will make appearance soon enough. She is just cozy right now :)
xo, misha
Glad you had such a fun day!
You roast marshmallows just the way I like them : )
Hope today is the day! We'll keep our fingers crossed !!
Cute grandkids! We just got back from camping too. I would have loved to have been in the mountains, but our area did have great scenery and glacial potholes in the rocks.
Love to spend time in the mountains. Food always tastes better, the air feels cleaner, the company is always funner.
Hope this baby comes soon.
How nice to be able to visit them up there on the mountain, and then be able to go home and sleep in your own bed! The turnovers look wonderful and I like my marshmallows roasted just that way too.
Blessings,
Marcia
Family,dinner on Boulder Mountain and a beautiful sunset...doesn't get much better than that!
What a wonderful way to have dinner....and those turnovers sound wonderful!
Julie, just few more days maybe for that little pink princess. You are right about blogging helping with the anxiety. I hope all is well and soon!
Your blog is just full of peace and happiness, it is always a joy to read. Thanks for sharing the gifts that come from the Gospel and a life well-lived. Perfect Marshmallows, by the way! :-)
Hugs,
Bonnie
I always feel so peaceful after I read your blog.--Inger
Yummy marshmallows! Looks like a wonderful night! I am making these turnovers asap!
How exciting, Julie.. waiting for the new baby! I don't have any daughters but I imagine if I did I would be more anxious than I have been with my son's wife. Just natural I am sure.
Loved your pictures. Cute kids! Beautiful sunset. Sweet deer...
All great!
Take care and when the time comes, drive safely... savor the experience.
Hugs,

what a fun time with the grand kids. good luck waiting for that grandbaby!!!!!
Hi, Julie, my friend,
Your grandchildren seem to be having a great time on the mountain and how wonderful that you could join them. Family time together is the best time. The sky was amazingly beautiful, a true example of God's artistry. I hope grandbaby arrives very soon~ Lots of love and hugs to you~ Vicki
I am coming over to your house, the marshmallows look inviting, hope you have a Hershey bar, too!
Your home/land is so lovely ... peaceful & beautiful setting & the children are having the time of their life. How cute they all are.
Have a lovely summer's eve ~
TTFN ~ Marydon
OH this is hard to wait!
But exiting!
Great pictures! Lovely Grand Kids!
The cartoon was funny :)
You can only introduce adult Chickens to Adult chickens. So i would raise them in the garage until they are big enough to have their own heat at night and then, put them in a big cage or puppy fence with net on top and things for them to roost until they are grown. I did it before. I raised 1 chicken in my veggie garden with a net on top...
Hugs

Darling grandkids! Another beautiful scenery shot of the sunset!
I always like to see wagon wheels around in landscaping.
Julie I know you are getting restless waiting on news from your daughter. It is exciting but nerve wrecking too.
Loved your pictures especially the grandbabies. So darling. I got in trouble for putting my grandbabies on my site from my DL and so I took them off. She thinks I have too many followers for that but what are you going to do when its the DL...oh well
Always enjoy my visits
Love
Maggie
Oh you made me so hungry with the fruit turnovers
Julie, you live in such a pretty place. That sunset is amazing. How awesome to sit outside and roast marshmallows and yours looked perfect. Those turnovers look yummy. Hope your granddaughter comes soon. Your other grandchildren are cute, too.
Beautiful photos !!
I love the marchmallow pic best I guess its because I can't eat it.. its how I like mine too.. yummm
The grands are so cute !
And another any minute... wow you are one lucky lady!!
Congratulations to all!!
Diane
Beautiful grandbabies and mountains pics! Love the old wagon wheel in the headlights too! Those turnovers look so good and easy!
O, I do so love all your posts, Julie. Every one of them seems to come straight from your heart.
Your grands are so sweet...I have been with 3 for 3 days and have enjoyed every single minute..
Can't wait for your little new one...
xo bj
Julie, AS USUAL your photos are wonderful! I think your toasted marshmallows are PERFECT! Yum!
Hi sweetie! So sorry I've not been around lately. I had spine surgery in May and my recovery is taking far longer then we expected. But I'm feeling so much better now.
I bet the turnover tasted great!
I like my marshmallows burnt!
You have some mad marshmallow toasting skills. Your recipe for the turnovers sounds good and easy. Hope you are on your way to the new baby. Mimi
I hope that the little one comes soon. I know the feeling about waiting and worrying.
Your little gd is so cute.
I enjoy reading your blog so post away.
hugs
Great post and your grandchildren are so cute! My first one is on the way! The scenery photos are beautiful. I'm a new follower and will enjoy seeing what you write about next! Love that red background!
What a perfect little jaunt up to a campfire ... and PERFECTLY toasted marshmellows - just exactly how I like them too!
I agree with a princess/tomboy being a great combination for a little girl to be. Makes them well rounded. The grandkids are sure adorable! Here's hoping for that other one to come ANY minute ... your poor daughter must be just miserable by now. :(
(Oh, and yes my siblings and I actually do sing and harmonize together. Trying to pull a song together for my mom's ward was the only stress of our vacation!)
Aww, what cuties your grandchildren are. I hope it won't be long until the new little one comes into the world.
Your marshmallow looks perfect to me. Yum!
