I'm sorry to have been gone so long but I have been playing!Doing very important stuff like...hanging out with my grands.
And I do mean "hanging out"...look at that little belly,no, not mine, Sophia's! She loves hanging out like this!
Here she is in one of the little dresses I made for her... always smiling!
I spent three days just having fun with two of my daughtersand their little ones...playing and going out to eat and shopping.
I had so much fun that I was a bit blue whenI came home...I love being with them all.
This is what we gave this little guy for his 3 year old birthday.He couldn't have been happier...and where did he go with it?
Out to take it for a ride in the dirt and rocks....doing those jumps!
His little sister Ella...what a hoot she is! A little girl thatloves to be in the dog kennel and everything else!
While I was there, their daddy surprised them by bringing home a English Golden Retriever puppy!
Her name is...Lady Liberty Belle...because she was born in July.She will be really light/white...she is so so sweet!
Ella...posing for grandma's pictures with those sticky pumpkins!
She is such a cuddly little sweetheart!
Caleb in his birthday helmet sitting on daddy's car.
Our sweet little butterfly Sophia, we sure do love her!
I love babies in this color blue...and her eyes looklike they are going to be blue too...such a darling!
Sophia is always talking and laughing and smiling...a real angel!
Can you stand more Autumn pictures?Ron and I went for a ride up into the mountains
to get some more of that wonderful Fall
feeling and a big bunch of leaves for the house!
We took Zak...Bo...Cougar along with us,they had so much fun. They love it when
we take them along too!
It was so magnificent! It just took our breath away at every turn in the road!
It makes me feel like a kid again to just drive along and smell, look and feel the beauty in the mountains!
I feel so close to God when I am out in his world...taking it all in, loving and appreciating all the beauty
that he designed for us as we live our life here on his earth.
I just could not get enough of the colors....
Glorious colors that will soon be gone...they are such a gift to my spirit..love it!
So, that's where I have been...
I have missed all of you so very
much and I will try to catch up
with all your posts as much as I can.
~Happy Fall to All~

Julie,
I just loved going down through your shared thoughts, your SWEET babies... your love-filled days, and your beautiful part of the country...Made me relax for a few moments as we are trying to make plans here for Justin's return, and keep having times and days changed at the LAST minute. Makes for some incredible scrambling with our plans and reservations, and jobs.... Your hubby was (is) a Marine. He knows...Semper Gumby...arrghh..Trusting God....Trusting God ...Trusting God... to work all things for good.... Love and hugs. xoxoxox Loved visiting with you.
PS!!!! I am in love with the puppy...precious. :-)
Such sweet angels...all of them! Just cutie pies. And the drive? Fantastic! We love driving in the country around here, too. But the weather is just now turning cooler, so we don't have any fall leaves yet! Soon I hope. Have a good week!
Well you have been having a great time. Those grandchildren are so precious and I don't blame you for wanting to spend as much time with them as your can. The puppy is so cute, I bet they had a blast.
Gorgeous fall pictures, never get tired of seeing that
You have been playing and I can see what a great time you have been having! Beautiful photos and sweet family!
Well, I guess we will excuse you for being gone! I can see what takes precedence in YOUR life! It's all about those babies, isn't it? I love ours too and can't get enough of them...and, although I love the babies I really love that toddler age the best. I like NO!>)
Your drive was beautiful. I am the same way...I see these glorious colors and think of the greatness of God's glory. Thanks- the colors are spectacular! Hugs- Diana
ps..You are just a beautiful Gramma and you just shine with love!
Those grands of yours are so sweet! Love the fall photos. Not so pretty here yet!
You're lucky to be able to hang out with the grands! They're all beautiful!
What vibrant Fall colors! You really know how to capture the beauty of God's world!
Well look at you, you popular blogger you! I'm glad you are here in the blogosphere because it gives me the chance to go back to Wayne County every once in awhile. I'm glad things are going so well for you and your family!
We missed you but you were off doing more important things..filling your life with joy and love.
What special times to enjoy...now those are cute grandchildren! Hugs
I would play too if I had such sweet grand babies to play with !
Adorable !
Diane
I think I'm just a little jealous about your play time!! ;-) It all looks so wonderful!! So glad you've had the opportunity to play and enjoy it!
I know you cannot hear it enough so I will tell you again - Your grandchildren are just adorable. I think hanging out with your kids and grandkids has got to be the sweetest way ever to spend time!
The new dog is sooooo cute too - I have never seen one so white :-D
That one picture of the VERY Yellow trees in the midst of the green trees is amazing!!
i wonder how you can stand to be away
from those darlings. each grand is
adorable!
your foliage tour was just glorious.
thank you!
I love your outdoor photos but I really love all the pics of the grands. What beautiful babies! Grands are just the best and I love your face, so happy to be with them.
Those fall colors are breathtaking! Oh my goodness!
Love the pictures of the grands they are beautiful!
Sophia is growing so fast. Her mother is beautiful. She looks like HER mother.
Have a wonderful week!
Oh everyone looks soooo happy, Julie!
All the babies are so adorable and you are GLOWING!
God bless you dear ♥
Have a happy happy week ~ Maria
I'm so glad you know what's important in life. Beautiful grandbabies you have! Glad you shared the fall pics too~ what a beautiful place.
Is there anything better than grand kids...Kids...pets and love ? Love your family and the love there...
Love the puppy! I am a sucker for babies and puppies. LOL
Love fall colors...I miss the woods. They have Fall colors now there. I just panted a red Maple tiny tree in the back yard...Hopefully i will be able to plant more later.
Love you and you rock :)
Did you like conference yesterday?
Was great :)
Frenchy
You have such precious grandchildren and Sophia is growing so fast. She is cute as a button. I am so jealous of the glorious fall color you have. We don't have those yellow trees here and we are still green. Just a few leaves on the poplar trees are turning and some of my maple trees are dropping their leaves. I wish they would stay on the tree and get the deep red that they are supposed too.
Only moms knows the proper "football" hold. Babies love being held like that.
She is SUCH a little cutie!!
Oh Julie, you were out "living life" as we're supposed to. The little ones are totally adorable and so precious! Thanks so much for always sharing pics of them. I absolutely adore the pics of the trees and leaves ~ such beauty. This is one of many reasons that fall is my favorite season. Truly, it's like God shares his paintings with us. The puppy is precious ~
Hope you have a blessed week!
xoxo

O, I've thought so much about you and your girls and boys. I know you loved being with them...and that it was hard to come back home. Won't be long til you see them again, I'll bet.
All the kids are just precious...and you, my dear, are a beautiful granny.
The color change is awesome. It isn't happening here in West Texas yet...still in high 80's...cooler at night and early morning, tho.
Take care and get all rested up...
hugs, bj
How grown up is sweet Sophie so far!! She looks so cute with the lovely dress you made for her. I understand coming back home might have turned you blue after spending all that time with your lovely grands and daughters.
Autumn is bellÃsimo around your home!!!
much love,dear Julie

Those trees are beautiful!!!! Absolutely breath taking. So glad you got to spend some time with the grandkids. They are all so cute! Sophia sure us smiley!
I don't know which would bring me more contentment? The cute grands or the beautiful nature surrounding me? I guess both :)
Julie, I know you have been enjoying your time with those sweet, sweet grandbabies. I understand feeling a little blue when you have to say good-bye. It is good to have such beauty to lift your spirits!
You know what I'm going to say don't you Julie?..I'm loving the new PUPPY..and a golden too! Just gorgeous.You are so blessed to have all those beautiful grandchildren.I know I've said it before but you do have an amazing family! :o)
I agree with you 100% Julie. I feel closest to God when I am enjoying his gift of the beauty we find in nature. Those are gorgeous Fall colors that you got to see! They remind me so much of autumn in Colorado. Makes me miss being there. :0)
Your grandchildren are beautiful too!I know how hard it was to leave them.
What a wonderful time you had, enjoying all the gifts we are given to enjoy here on Earth!
Your grands are once again beautiful. Love the little dresses. Your fall pictures are beautiful.
Not much color here yet......soon I am sure.
Love the picture of the dogs going on the ride,hah.
Happy Fall.
Julie what sweet angel babies you are blessed with- each so precious. I love the photograph of the dogs in the truck- so stinkin cute! The color you way is turning faster than it is here- beautiful autumn colors!

You have been on a lark! There is no sweeter time, and I'm missing my all kids. Some are arriving next week...thanks for sharing yours in the meantime!

Fall is sooooo beautiful in your corner! These colors are amazing.

Precious, precious, grandchildren. They sure do their part by automatically lighting up ourlives!
And, I do enjoy all your fall pictures...from your horseback riding adventures to your truck rides. It is so soothing to my soul to see all the colors with the change of seasons. What a blessing. xo

Happy new week ahead to you and your lovely familia(family in greek)
What little angels your Grands are! I love Sophia in that dress you made for her!!
Your pictures make me think of that Primary song, "whenever I hear the song of a bird..."
Take care!
Don't children grow too fast? The pictures are adorable. I love the fall pictures, also, since our leaves haven't started to turn yet.
Have a great day.
Pam
Oh my! That picture of Ella in the dog kennel is hilarious! What a little love bug! I am just a little bit envious of all of your free time to spend with your "grands" ... such fun!
Those yellow trees are just stunning too! I have never seen just stark yellow leaves like that! Amazing!!!
You are blessed all the way around... grandkiddos and autumn leaves. Wow! I would love to be with both.
Have a great week.

you know it really is a no brainer, either blog at home? or get all that baby sugar? I would chose baby sugar ever time. And your spoiled rotten to have so many!!!!
I want one of those puppies I've never heard of English Goldens or seen a white one she is a beauty!!! your fall colors are spectacular. We had our first crisp cool day today and I am so ready for fall. But I discovered I can't get my sweater on by myself yet but that will come soon.
Hi Julie,
How wonderful to spend time with your grandchildren!! They are all so precious. :)
The fall photos are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing all of your photos!
The grandchildren are also beautiful. You look so happy and relaxed when you are holding them... and that blue looked so pretty on her.
That puppy is just too cute.
I love the colour of the tree's. We have mainly gum trees and palm tree's so I love your fall photo's.
Thanks for your lovely comments about Ezra's party... we had such a fun afternoon. xx

You have much more color that we do...ours is just beginning!
Those grand babies are just beautiful and so precious!!!! I think I need to come with you next time and help hold and rock those little cuties!
The color of the changing leaves is just amazing! We get more of the orange, reds, and browns not so much of the gorgeous yellows! Thank you for sharing your ride with us all!! xoxox
Julie, your grandbabies are so cute (the puppy too.) Love your photos!
You are a lucky girl....getting to hang out with such sweet, adorable cutie-pies! Yes! I love all the fall colors :)

Hi Julie,
I just finished dinner and sat down to look at some blogs. After reading this post, I feel full to the brim with sweetness. I may not need dessert. LOL. What adorable grandchildren you have and the dress you made for your granddaughter is just precious. As the mother of boys, I got a kick out of your grandson. He looks "all boy".
Thanks for taking us along on your little drive. The colors of the trees and the sky are breathtaking. I'm always amazed that you can find time for blogging, but I'm so glad you do.
Oh my word. I just wanna come sit in that gorgeous house and play with all these gorgeous babies!! Thanks for all the sweet comments this week!
I LOVE your pictures! What precious babies!
Awww...:) and what fun it looks like you have had while playing with your grands! Adorable bunch of grand kiddos you have!

All so beautiful, Julie...beautiful grandbabies, beautiful puppy, beautiful autumn leaves...love it all!

Yes, we generally have a short fall..leaves aren't turning much yet. Then, in December, we'll have winter...can.not.wait. I adore wintertime. Last yr was such a fun and wonderful winter...a little more snow than usual, which we love. Especially now that we don't HAVE to get out until we want to.:))
I am still excited about your new baby..she is so so sweet.
Those babies are just so precious and the little dresses you made are just perfect! Lucky you to be so blessed to have so much love and joy in your life. Awesome pictures.
They are SO darling=0) I love S little belly!!!! She really looks so cute in the dress you made her. I love seeing pics of how happy you look with them.
The autumn pictures are just breath taking...WOW! I could just sit there for hours and look at every leaf=0)
Have a wonderful week,
XOXO,
Carol

Hi Julie...never apologize for playing with those beautiful babes!
Your fall photos are breathtaking! some of the best I've ever seen!
Fall here has barely started, today they have forcasted 7 inches of rain to come in the next few days...good thing I'm busy with indoor stuff! lol:)
Doesn't look like you've wasted a moment of your time away...so glad to be back on your blog!
Is Sophia your grand born in July? :)
Fantastic photos as usual...what a heartwarming post.
WOW! Your autumn pics are spectacular Julie along with the cutest grand kids ever. Adorable post!
Julie, wow 83 comments! But, I'm going to tag right on at the end and add the 84th. Girl, would you believe me when I say I've never seen leaf changes like this! I'm from the South we have some pretty trees, but honey not this showy! I've got to experience - one time. My husband just got back from Grand Junction, CO he got to see a little.
By the way - the grands are precious! I haven't stopped by in a few days so had to catch up on your latest fun.
Karen
