This little boy is so brave! And he thinks he can fly!
And after watching him do this, over and over, I amstarting to think that maybe he can fly! He envisions
himself as all kinds of super hero's, and he is so into
the zone when he is a super hero!
I went to see some of my kids and visit with them and
some sweet little grands for three days...that was a bit of
grandma heaven for me...I have to do that every once in
a while to get my portion of sweetness filled up again.

I went with one of my daughters and her little family to tour theIron Mission in Ceder City, Ut. It is a great place to visit and our
ancestors had much to do settling this area, so it always brings a
wonderful feeling and connection to them to see things like this.
Sophia sitting atop a big old horse, she thought that was so fun!
Lindsey and Michael and Sophia in the US Mail stagecoach.
You've got mail grandma!
The white hearse was used just for children
A huge wooden water tank hauler
A snow sleigh...what fun that would be!
An old fashioned kitchen, reminds me of my grandma.
These carriage's were so beautifully restored, what a treasure they are.
Some were left as they were found, this was an over-land stage,it looked like a rough and very dusty way to travel to me!
I liked this picture of the old days in Ceder...love the oldcars and look at that snow! I haven't seen snow like that
at all this year, we still haven't had any snow this winter!
Cutie-pie Sophia peeking out of her blankie...always smiling!
~Lindsey's cute little family~
Sophia loves her rubber ducky with the big red beak!
And she loves her little doggie Tinkerbell...
And Tinkerbell loves her baby Sophia...
They are always hanging out together!
These two are our littlest grand daughters...Sophia and Ella.
Caleb kissing Sophia's little hand..sweet!
Tiffany has two little poodles, Ollie and Tucker and theyjust have to get some grandma hugs too!
I love to sit on the floor and play with my little grands!I get so I don't even hear what the adults in the room
are saying. It's so fun to be into the grands that much!
Sophia snuggling with her grandpa
Ella, she is the new centerpiece of the table I think...so cute as she shares in every one's meal! She is such
a dynamic, loving little child and what a snuggler too!
Here at home, we just stay warm...Zak loves to be snuggled in a blanket
Bo with his little butt hanging off the back of the chair...
A toasty place to be.
I stopped into a little antique shop the other day and saw these...I just love the polka dot gloves, they remind me of the 50's, so cute!
I found this darling vintage apron which I really loved!
It even looked cute hung over the kitchen valance but Ithink I will just hang it on the hall tree above. Sorry ladies,
but this one will not be in a give a way, this one I am keeping!
Speaking of a GIVE A WAY...
that is just what I will be doing
for my next post, so stay tuned!

Julie- What a great trip you had...and those kids are SOOOO blessedly cute! I could just kiss each and every one of their little faces. I think the Dads will be beating the boys off with sticks when those two little ones get older! hugs-Diana
Aww,...you had such a fun time! Your grandkids are just adorable! Never a dull moment!
I love getting down on the floor with my grandkids too...and I thought we were the only crazy family that put the babies in the middle of the table!
I love seeing you with your little "grands", you are all so cute together! That is certainly my dream for the future ... to not have to go to an office and be able to just have visits and give lots of love to all of my little grands too!
Oh Julie,
How fun! Your grands are absolutely adorable...seriously, that little Sophie is too cute and I just want to eat her up. Her smile is truly contagious! Ella is precious and just thinks she's the center of everything and Caleb, well, I think his parents have a long childhood ahead of him :)
The apron is really cute!
Oh my goodness! Your little grandson "flying" between couches! How brave is he???
And little Sophia sitting astride that giant black horse! Priceless.
Love that vintage apron too - - - that is far and away the cutest one I've EVER seen.
Awwww...happy babies, happy puppies, happy grandparents! Sounds like it was worth the trip!
What cuties you have! I have never been to the iron mission, but I love all those carriages and the old photo with all that lovely snow. We haven't had snow since right after Christmas. Today a little flurries. Love the apron and new gloves. Joni
oh bless the little super hero and the pretty little angels blonde angels and all the sweet pets.
such an adorable, heartwarming post ♥
warmest hugs

Hi Julie!
What fun! Sometimes grandma's just have to get their "fix" don't they?! You have beautiful grandchildren! I'm also a dog lover and lover of old things, like aprons and gloves - I can remember my mother wearing them to church . . . so elegant!
Hugs,
Barb
Julie on the road again! wow...you have had fun. so obvious by the photos. I just have to say when I see all your family and activities and babies and love and handcrafts and baking...You are the picture I would put beside the Proverbs 31 woman in an encyclopedia! Yep...she's the one ladies! Loving it! and glad to get to be in on it because just sharing with us makes me inspired to follow the same path! :-) :-) Gracious even the four-leggers know the loving heart and hand when they see it! Glad you are back. Hugs to you!!!
Julie....what wonderful pictures. Your grands are simply gorgeous and that little super hero makes my heart skip a beat, lol. I am also coveting your sweet apron...GREAT find :)
Blessings!
Gail
wonderful trip. I just love that old fashioned kitchen.
Sophia and Tinkerbell are so cute, I love the pictures of them in the high chair together.
Oh man, I think that's just what the Dr. ordered, a trip to get some Grandma time in!!! It sounds good to me. Looks like you had a grand time. Good for you!! LOVE all the smiles all the way around...priceless!
Julie, your little sophie is such a cutie!
Grandma I think that cute little guy needs a superman cape!! He is pretty brave!
I love museums like that. All the old stuff really fascinates me. I would love to spend a day back in time just to see what it was really like because in this day and age looking back it is kind of romanticized in my mind :-D
Your little grands are darling!
I didn't know about the Iron Mission or we would have visited last year. I love old pioneer stuff! Your little grandkids are so cute...aren't they so much fun to be around. They keep us young or wear us out! Love the gloves and apron...it looks so cute hung up. You haven't had snow but hasn't it been cold? My family says Cache Valley has been cold this winter. AZ has been cool too but I like it around 60 degrees anyway! Have a great day.
What a remarkable trip!! So many sights, children and grandchildren!! The best kind of trip EVER!!
I just love the old stagecoaches and buggies..and that sleigh...ah what fun!!
What a lovely family you have, Julie..and I can't believe how fast Sophia is growing. Good grief...seems like she was just born.
We are on our way to eat Mexican food out...our favorite.
Your steak and onions looked sooo good...maybe we'll have that tomorrow night. :))
I think it is so nice that you get to get away and spend time with your families. Looks like a nice time. I also like to see old pioneer stuff.
Cute apron.
Julie~
So glad we have Super Hero's in training! Good flying skills :)
The Iron Mission looks very interesting.
Your family is divine!
The snow picture~ even though we have had much snow here in Indy lately, I too haven't seen snow days like when I was young. It was different back then in the 60's & 70's.
I love the gloves & apron! I have started collecting aprons, and always enjoy wearing when cooking family meals. The gloves are just adorable!
You furry babies are too cute with their jackets! I love my furry babies too.
A give away? ohhh!
I tried to do one on my blog but only have two that want to participate! I have one spot left but no one wants me to make them something :( Im not as crafty as I wish :)
Julie anytime you'd like to share those babies I'd be happy to smooch them up for awhile! You had a great time. I can't get over little Ella being nekkid it's ben so cold here! And it's amazing that you haven't had any snow. It's so cold tonight we might get a sprinkle of it.
I love that old fashioned kitchen what a beautiful old stove it has. Glad your home again!!
These pictures are so great! So much love in those rooms. :-) Love the vintage apron and your dogs are so cute! Have a great week.
Blessings,
Jill
Julie love the pictures of the vintage wagons.That snow picture was awesome! No snow? What's up with that..we have had 1/2 inch here at Wendy's in Oklahoma. It seems to be all going East.
The grands are darling as usual. The little dog with her reminds me of Wendy's 2 little dogs..they are always where the little ones are!!
Hvae fun..and Girl that apron is DEVINE!!!! I want the pattern..lol
Hugs Cindy from Rick-Rack and Gingham
Hi Julie,little Superman's mommy looks a bit worried there in the background! I just love the pics of the old stagecoaches! You are blessed with a beautiful family!
Wonderful pictures, Miss Julie!! I especially love that old-timey kitchen! And Miss Sophia and Miss Ella, of course are both dolls.
I *squeealed* over the apron~ that is just too cute!
Sophia is growing toooooo fast! Tell her to stop it!
Such cute pictures of the grands. Makes me a little bit homesick for mine. They are such a treasure.
Love your pictures. It does look like you were in a bit of heaven.
The apron and the gloves are so cute.
That little super hero reminds me so much of my little super hero !
Love that apron !
Have a blessed tomorrow
Sophia is one happy baby...Love the pictures with the dog in the high chair....daughter recently got a little dog too and they are so meant to go together with a toddler...happy to see you got to spend some time with the grands...Nothing is better then that!! and no snow by you...really??? we even had snow here in Atlanta where I heard the city shut down for a week...while I was freezing with 30 inches up in NJ.....and you really haven't had any snow....
Looks like you had a wonderful time! Aren't grandbabies the best thing ever? Thanks for the recipes. I do love macaroons. Kind of light and yummy. Mimi
I'm still laughing at the dog in the exersaucer. Lucky for me our dog never tried that. She's a boxer. Mighta squished poor Evie!
what a great visit!!!! Tinkerbell and Sophia are tooo cute.
You guys are such cool grandparents.
great polka dot gloves.
you are always on the go- it looks like it was a wonderful time spent with the ones you love.
i love the puppy hanging so close with the little one- so sweet and you found a sweet treasure- the apron is adorable!
JUlie, what a wonderful time away you have had. I love your words, filling up your cup of sweetness, Just beautiful. You are so blessed to be able to spend time with your family like this. Love and hugs. xxoo
PS Love the apron!
The reason you guys don't have any snow is that it's all landed here in North GA. We have had about 5 snow "storms" here in GA since Nov. On Christmas day (first time since 1883 that it's snowed on Christmas day), we had 11 INCHES. Then two weeks ago, we had 9 INCHES - IN GA! Yeah, the old-timers say it used to snow like that here all the time. But this is the most snow I've seen in the 16 years I've lived here.
Bad thing is, nobody owns snow plows, snow shovels or chains, including the local counties. They use road-graders to try and scrape it and then dump a salt/sand mixture on it. So life stops until it melts. The local kids have lost all of their days off for most of the rest of the year. And we're getting more this afternoon.
I think my neighbors would like to send some back to you guys. You ready for it? lol
Love all the family pictures and history from your 3 day trip. I truly adore that apron. It reminds me of the fancy pillow cases my grandmother use to make. You are right...it is a keeper. xoxo
Julie, it is wonderful to have that special time with your grands!! Makes life worth living!
Love the polka dot gloves and that sassy little apron you found!
Julie, You make me want grandchildren so badly!!!!!!!! You have such a wonderful and beautiful family!
Have a pretty day!
Kristin
I would love to the Iron Mission. I think some of my Wilden family were part of all that. I can't believe you haven't had snow this year! The babies are growing! I have a grandson who plays just like yours. He will stand with his arms outstreached trying very hard to get his landing gear down!They are so fun. Love love love the gloves! That little apron is sweet too.
Enjoy
Mercy
Precious babies and darling dogs! What a fun trip you had!
Oh Julie, As always you share with us some wonderful glimpses into your family, thank you.:o)
Your grandchildren are so adorable. I can certainly relate to your little grandson playing...boys are so full of energy!!
Also, love the cute little shih tzu hanging out with your granddaugher.
And, I am drooling over that fabulous apron and those darling polka dot gloves, great finds, Julie.
Have a wonderful week~
Fondly,
Ann

Sophie and Tinkerbell make a cute pair!
Love your vintage apron. It does look very cute hanging on the kitchen valance.
Love the gloves and the apron...too cute they are!! Looked like a fun trip.
Holly's kitties love to lay the in the sunshine coming in through the windows!! Sweet.
G'day to my dear friend Julie! It looks like you have been a busy Grandma lately. I can't believe how quickly your grands are growing. Sophia is looking prettier every time I see her.
Thanks so much for popping in and leaving such sweet messages during my bloggy break too Julie. I think I have finally got my "mojo" back and am ready to get back into it again. It was so wonderful to see Australia celebrating yesterday and putting the heartache of the last few weeks behind us for a day.
Hope the rest of your week is wonderful and thanks for being a wonderful bloggy friend.
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Oh glory girl, how'd ya pull yourself away from those cutie pies??? Aren't they just the best little blessings ever??? I'm so glad ya got to make the trip and spend some time with 'em.

Enjoy your day and may it be filled with rich blessings!!! :o)
What a wonderful trip Julie, and wonderful pics too!
That one of little Sophie sitting on the horse is just priceless!
Her sunny disposition just shines through!

As soon as I clicked on your post, I started singing that song, "I Believe I Can Fly!" lol Love that age when kids think they can do anything. Your grands are so precious. Love your gloves and apron too!
Hi Julie I love your old photo that is really sweet. The pups and family look great and cute and I see you have a very brave grandson! YIKES! I see he made it to the place he wanted to go that is awesome! I think he did? Have a great week & enjoy your trip! big hugs
Hey Julie,
It looks like you have a budding equestrian in Sophia!
Might be time to think about getting a show horse or two!!
lol,
RMW
It looks like you had a wonderful trip! It is so much fun spending time with the grandbabies!! :) Yours are all so adorable, and loved...you can tell they know that they are loved by their happy smiles!!
I love that vintage b&w photo of the snow. I am thinking my family probably visited Escalante (during my childhood) on one of our trips out to Utah during the summertime. That name rings a bell for me!!
Thank you for praying for our family. I appreciate your thoughtfulness!
XOXO Gloria

Love your photos! What a cute name for a dog too~Tinkerbell!
As always, those babies are adorable and the photos make me smile. Life is surely good.
I got a good laugh at little fella thinks he can fly.One of my sons used to walk around with a cape tied to his back at all times. He was so angry when he started school and they made him take it off.
I love that little Sophia is sitting atop that big horse (not real??)...learn em' early.
That apron is soooo darling!
All your pictures are pure fun and happiness, Julie. I always smile when visiting you.
