I just had to share this, it just made me laugh when I saw it.Ella Mae and her cute smile with those baby teeth and who
can say enough about the up-do...what a hair style! LOL
This is Sophia in her blessing dress that we bought for her.I think she looks just like a little doll in this picture!
She will receive a name and a blessing this Sunday.
She will receive a name and a blessing this Sunday.
My daughter Tiffany took these pictures...she and her sister Lindsey had so much fun being
together the other morning taking these of Sophia.
I think they did a great job! As good as any real photographer even!Now that was spoken like a proud mother wasn't it! LOL And I am indeed.
I love this shot from over head too. The little doll that they weretaking pictures of sure helped too. We just can't get enough of this
little beauty! And she is so so sweet too...always happy and smiling!
See....always smiling and she loves to hold her hands like this...her daddy says that she is texting her brothers and sisters up
in Heaven, telling them about everything here at their home on earth!
It looks like she is pulling her dogs hair but not so.She loves her doggie Charlie Brown and he sure loves her!
She loves her bath...I was so amazed because in thispicture she looks like me as a baby! Looks like she is
getting just about too big for those sink baths!
Such sweetness comes sailing out of those eyes and right into all of our hearts! What a sweet
gift from God she is...what a blessing to have a
baby in the home and family...nothing like it!
Sweet baby cheeks...just made for grandma kisses!
I made these two little Halloween dresses...one for Ella and one for Sophia...yes, I am having fun!
I also made some pillows for my leather couches.The stripped ones are just place mats sewn together
and stuffed with a small airline size pillow, very quick!
I have strong colors in my home... it is a more rustic type of home...browns and reds and oranges and the colors of suede...it fits where we
live and it fits us...it has kind of a western..south west feel to it all.
I wonder what Jack and his buddy here are looking at...
Could it be these very large pumpkins?!Maybe so, it is that time of year you know!
This is my sons home and these pumpkins were grown by Darin and his family...right in their little back yard garden. I thought they were just
awesome... Perfect for Halloween time! I don't know what they
fed them but they sure did good!

Oh, these babies are so precious. Your daughter outdid herself on the photos of the baby. Really some great ones..I think, if I had to choose a fav, it would be the overhead...but love them all.
I am sure I'd love your home. What I see of it, I like. :)

So nice to have found you again Julie! (I have the history blog about St. Nicholas and Christmas)I found you a couple of weeks ago when I was VERY new to blogging, but then "lost" you and just found you again on "5 minutes just for me!" These pictures are just adorable...the babies, the cloths, the cat (named jack!) who was looking at the giant pumpkins!! Going to Follow along right now so I don't loose you again (I love that option to blogging now that I've found it!)
Ann
oh those little kiddies are the cutest, totally precious. Loved to see you have a horse too, I used to have my own horse and felt so lucky. Those pumpkins are also amazing!! Thanks so much for popping over to my Blog today and for your kind words about my Bears Cherie & Willow. I tried to find an email to send you a message but couldn't see one for you. Cherie was made as a special custom bear and Willow has just a few minutes ago been adopted.

Hi Julie
Such a gorgeous baby ♥ You are a fabulous sewer - love the little Halloween dresses. Just read your comment - Ernie and I got soaked this morning on our walk too. We must be having the same weather today. This weekend we celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada and the forecast is supposed to be beautiful (fingers crossed) ♥
Those pictures are so precious! She is beautiful! I love the dresses you made so unique. :-)
Wow, those pumpkins! Incredible! They should enter them into a contest!
Hope you have a great vacation, enjoy!
Blessings,
Jill
Precious baby photos...
YOU are becoming quite the seamstress!!! WOOT!

Hugs across the miles.

Have a fun little getaway. :)
Your grandbabies are adorable! Enjoy your vacation!!

Hi Julie!! Oh, your angels are so sweet! You're really blessed with all these darling grands, Julie! Love that tiny little pearl bracelet on the tiny little wrist! :)
My those are some lovely huge pumpkins.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Ella and Sophie are just beautiful.
A baby is so much fun. Love the cheeks.
Have a great time.
You sure have the cutest grands!! Those pumpkins are amazing. I'd love to have one that big for my porch but at 29 cents a pound here, it just feels like a Nordstrom pumpkin on a Walmart budget.
Precious pictures....
Have a great vaction.....
Beautiful pictures.
Have a wonderful vacation.
Pam
Love all the baby pictures, she's a little doll. Have a great time on your vacation
Two absolutely adorable little baby girls Julie! That dress Sophie is wearing, oh my, what a dream dress!
And have a wonderful time with your hubby, it sounds romantic and lovely and you deserve it!
Hugs,
Cindy
Hope you and hubby are off having a fabulous time!!
Great pictures as usual... must be those precious babies of yours that make those fabulous pictures so extra special.
Take care.

Have fun on your vacation with hubs.
I will be waiting to see some photos.
Hugs

and my goodness.. what is he feeding those pumpkins. WOW!!
Have a great wednesday.
congrats on the feature.
always goodness and happiness here at the Harwards... I love it and your great big pumpkins!!!!!!
Adorable babies and grandkids...Love the blessing dress...precious. Have a great vacation with hubby. We are headed to northern Utah tomorrow to visit family.
How sweet :) I am just smitten with that "This is my little black dress... how adorable. What lucky grands you have. Have a wonderful vacation and come back with lots of fun things to show us and tell us!
Oh my gracious. Those babies are so sweet. Sophia is such a wonderful smiler. The photo of her in her blessing dress with her hands folded together.....couldn't get better than that.
I LOVE big pumpkins. I would try growing them, but the neighborhood critters would get at them. We have a ton of rabbits, squirrels, birds, fox and coyotes. And the worst RATcoons. I think if I had a BB gun, I would sit up waiting for them. Maybe I will buy one of the boys a BB gun for Christmas. A Red Ryder. Have you seen that movie? A Christmas Story?
~the dresses are just darling~ Wonderful job!
Hi Julie,
You did such a beautiful job on those dresses! Your daughters (& family) are so blessed you are an excellent seamstress!
Your daughters did do a really great job on taking those photos. I love the one that shows her face close-up (her sweet cheeks). Your granddaughters are really adorable. Very photogenic!!!
I hope you have a memorable & fun vacation. I know you and your husband are so deserving of one!
Blessings to you,
Gloria @}~`}~~~
That little Sophie is one cute baby. Love how her tongue stick out! Beautiful dress.
It's the Great Pumpkin! I'd like to know what they were fed to get that big!
Have fun!
Oh my friend...you have been busy...your creations are amazing.
You have the sweetest bunch of grandbabies ever! So glad to see you are enjoying every single one..they will have such fond memories of their grandparents. xoxoxoox
Good evening Julie, Like you I have been busy playing and haven't been on my computer much. I only wish I was playing with our grandchildren, yours are so adorable. So tonight I am trying to catch up on what everyone has been doing.
I read some of your previous posts and as always I am so blessed each time I visit, you are truly a woman after God's own heart. You have such a glow about you, and your love for God, your family, and others comes through each time you write. One reason I started blogging was to meet and get to know women like you.
Enjoy this special time with your dh.
Hugs and blessings,
Sue
Hi Julie!
Oh my goodness...look at the smiles and giggles!
It's contagious and I'm smiling away over here...
Your older grands are enjoying autumn and your amazing pumpkin collection!
What a beautiful time of year!
Enjoy every moment!
~Maria
Sophia looks so cute in the beautiful dress you guys got for her. Pictures are good. Cute little dresses you made for the girls.
Well, Julie- You KNEW I would love this particular post with all those babies of yours in it! What do you MEAN she is almost too big for a sink bath? You have seen my little 3 year old SweetCheeks and she still loves a sink bath! lol
What beautiful pictures your kids took of that baby! It looks like a professional "sitting". And...I love the little dresses you made...'course ya knew I would!
MrHero and I are taking off for a few days too. We never go on vacation with a kid or three tagging along either. I am looking forward to some quiet time..for reading and lazing. Hope you have a wonderful time. xxoo Diana
OH she is just precious! What a beautiful baby girl. I love the Halloween dresses you made and all the pillows. Those are some huge pumpkins!! I love them! Thanks for stopping by and saying Hi. You are the best!
Karin
Those little baby girls are so precious. I know you're having fun with them. I made pillows from place mats the summer. I actually just ripped open one side, stuffed it, and sewed it back up. I didn't even use two :-)
Blessings,
Marcia
What a beautiful blessing dress!
I am in love with the name Ella Mae that is just so stinkin' cute just like she is!
And Sophia is a doll baby in her blessing gown - what a beauty.
Those little Halloween dresses are so cute - I laughed when I read "My little black dress" - You are talented!
Have a great time on your trip - I can't wait to hear where you went :-D
She is just so precious! Lucky you. Nothing like a baby in the family. Have fun on your getaway. Mimi
You have such beautiful grandchildren, you are indeed very blessed as are they to have such a wonderful grandmother.
I wish you & your husband a very enjoyable break away together.
Julie, I so love when you share pictures of your beautiful family- they just make me smile and I appreciate that this week! I LOVE your home- just perfect
xoxo Pattie
Just called by from Italy via Natasha in Australia to meet you Julie. I was truly amazed to learn you are a great grandmother. Congratulations.
Hi Julie
Thanks for your comments. Love all the photos on this post. Your daughter did a fantastic job and can be very proud of that. Jack may have picked up some kind of parasite outside. Do you have fleas there? If you do, the best way to see if he has them is to buy a flea comb at you pet sotore and comb him to see if there is any flea-dirt (small Black, sand-like) Fleas get up around the neck and can drive them crazy. If it is an allergy it may be wise to take him off grain foods. You can purchase grain-free food for cats at your local pet store. I would try a few things before putting him on the meds as they have side-effects. Hugs, Deb
I just love coming over to your blog and seeing all your wonderful pictures of the babies.I hope you two have a lovely romantic trip together.I'm sure though,that you will be 'itching' to get back and kiss those gorgeous plump little cheeks! :o)
Julie, Sophia is just too cute as is all your grandkids. Love those adorable dresses you made. You are such a sweet grandma.
Good Morning my dear,dear friend,
That Sweet Sophia is such a doll...how do you get anything done??? I would be over visiting {OK cooing},cuddling, and loving...lucky grandma!
Those are Goliath Pumpkins!!!!WOW there's a few pumpkin pies, sittin' on your porch.
Thanks for the lovely visit...happy day dearest...love Rosie
Oh honey everytime I get a glimpse into your life I leave with the happiest heart. Your grandbabies are just so precious. God has really blessed you honey with beautiful children and now grandchildren. Nothing better than doing a post about your babies.
I have to agree with you their picture taking was really professional and of course their model helped out a lot.
That dress is absolutely stunning wow is all I can say.
Love your pumpkin dresses too.
I caught up while I was here and I nearly choked on my breakfast when I read 14 bedrooms and almost that many baths and your brother-in-laws home. For 15 years I dreamed of a log cabin but not one this size. haha
Do they need a crazy maid from Texas to help them out or is there a single brother running around that needs a ole woman from Texas. lol
Just think Julie and Maggie sister-in-laws how cool would that be.
You could teach me so much.
Ok time to stop daydreaming
Love
Maggie
What a great g-ma you are. Love all the sweet baby pics. Love those cute halloween dresses too. WOW those pumpkins are big, to fun. Sure love reading about your sweet fam. You nigth with friends looked fun, beautiful, and delish. Hugs, Jen Enjoy your alone time with the hubs.

Thanks for stopping by and your sweet comments.

Hi Julie those babies are so adorable. It's so funny because I first came to your blog 10 days ago or so because you have the same name as another online friend of mine. That was interesting to me.
There is so many things to comment on here but the outfits for the babies are adorable as well, love the kids in front of their house for fall photo and Jack and his buddy are cute too. You made up some nice pillows they look great. Enjoy your week! hugs
Hi Julie,
Thanks for sharing such great pictures of your family! The little girls are so sweet, love the up-do and the sink shots, they made me laugh. The blessing dress is just beautiful.
Also, those pumpkins your son and his family grew are HUGE!!
What fun!!
Fondly,

Beautiful! This little girl is so lucky :)
You are so talented !!! Those little dresses are incredibly cute!
I have serious post today and would like to know your opinion on the subject :)
Big hugs
Hi there Julie, That baby Sophia is a little beauty as is of course the granddaughter we share. And I love your Halloween dresses that you made. Your placemat idea is a great one. I have so busy with blog swaps, my head has been spinning. It is calming down now, but getting ready for a new giveaway. It has finnally cooled off here. I love Fall!
Lovely baby and clothes!
G'day Julie ~ What a beauty ALL your kid-lings are, but she is just precious. Love the outfits you made for Halloween. The girls did a beautiful job taking these photos.
I miss the baby stage, but ours are done having wee ones :( ...
Have a great weekend.
TTFN ~ Hugs, Marydon
Little Sophia is such a cute princess. And these pumpkins are biiiiiiiiiiiig! Have a happy day, Julie xxx

Your little grand daughter is so cute.
Great dresses and pillows too. I really like rustic style with leather couches and I'm really loving the pattern of the rug in the photo.
Dear Julie
What a lovely post! Dear Ella Mae is so cute and Sophia looks adorable in her dress...just like a doll! You are so talented with those Halloween dresses and pillows that you made! I love your husband's brother's cabin...what a lovely cabin with a gorgeous view!
Ixx :)
Wow, now those are some pumpkins! What precious pictures too, reminds me of my sweet Gillian Grace when she was that little. My how quickly time passes!
Most beautiful baby in her blessing dress, that is to die for!!!
Great pictures of your fam and your sewing and those huge pumpkins!!
I love the dresses! Are you using a pattern? My sister is having a baby girl and I woul love to make her some...
As far as mailing swaps, yes, it can add up money wise....I just choose my swaps wisely. Plus with work, I suspect that I wont be swapping so much.....
Your grandbaby is beautiful and I love the little dresses that you made!! I picked you for the versatile blogger award. Please go to my blog to accept it.
Sophia's blessing dress is gorgeous!!! What a little doll. She's such a happy little bubba.
What a lovely post! Babies are such a special part of our lives. I get a kick out of the old saying 'if I had known it was going to be so much fun having grand kids I'd a had them first!' heehee!
Her blessing dress is beautiful just like she is!!!
Those are huge pumpkins! I only got one out of my garden this summer as it was just too hot and dry for them. It wasn't nearly as big as the ones your family grew. :o)
Hope you are having fun on your vacation with your hubby. It's good to get away and good to come back home! xoxo
I sure hope ya'll have a blast and a half on your vacation. I just returned from Tx. but for a very different reason. I was spending some precious time with my Daddy who lost his three decade battle with leukemia last Wed., a very bittersweet trip.
Oh the pictures are great, the babies perfectly precious and those are some gigantic pumpkins!!!
Ya'll have a magnificently blessed weekend!!! :o)
those were sooooo precious julie. hope you and your honey have a great vacay:)
Hi, Julie,

I've missed seeing your posts. I bet you're just loving on those sweet babies :-) I hope all is well my friend.
Blessings,
Marcia
Happy Sunday Dearest...
It has been so very, very, long...I regret that life has been filled to the brim with things to do, people to enjoy, events to savor. I fear it will stay crazy for quite some time as the season of sparkle is almost upon us...Hoping this note finds you smothered in hugs and kisses from all of those sweet babies of yours...will stop by for a much needed cuppa very soon...xoxo...Rosie
Haven't seen you around Julie!! Missing you and praying those wonderful grandbabies are keeping you away from blogging and FB. Take care my friend :)
Blessings!
Gail
You sure do have beautiful granddaughters and that latest one looks like you!
