A FEW DAYS OF GRAND BABY LOVE...

Hi to all grandma's bloggy friends!

I love to go to my grandma's house, she loves me and she lets me do anything
I want to do. Like... ride her dog.. he's not real but I like him a lot because
he doesn't buck me off!


Grandma has been saying all weekend that I am "such a doll"
do you think she's really talking about me?!


This one is my favorite...I love to give her lots of loves!


"I feel Pretty...Oh So Pretty!"

Speaking of dolls...look at little Ella, or is it little Shirley Temple?
Her mommie got her all dolled up for church..such a little beauty!


Sophia and grandma...love at first sight!


Sophia with her two favorite ladies.


Grandma loves my bath time...and me!


I got to bath in grandma's old fashioned soaker tub,
it was so fun..Grandma says I am a lucky little duck.


She even let me bath her old Cupie doll...she looks like me I think!


I know how to charm the socks off my grandpa too...it's easy!


Lots of Pistachio cupcakes to enjoy too...YUM!


It snowed this past weekend...Cougar loves to be near us when we are in the kitchen, so he hangs out in this... "too little for him"... chair, and watches us through the window.


Our kitties Sammy and Bobby..they love to snuggle up together in their garage bed, that is when they are not catching mice and leaving them at our back door for us..such nice kitties! ;D


And you can always find Mr. Bo Jangles keeping a
close eye on Cougar, making sure he behaves himself!


This is Bobby...he was at a motel we stayed at a couple of months ago. He was outside in the cold winter weather, freezing and nearly starved to death, I have never heard a kitty cry so long and loud before. We brought him home and took him to the vet and tamed him. He was so sick for a month and we wondered if he would make it but he did.


He and Sammy have bonded..and look at them go!

They are loving the dry grass to play on...hopefully it will be green soon now!


I found this sturdy little stool for $5.00 and I am going to paint it red.
With as many grands as we have, we can always use another stool!


I got this vintage glass and pitcher set too...love them!


We had a great weekend, I hope you did too. Our kids just left and I always feel a little blue when they go home. I miss them and I miss the sweet little grands that come and fill up our lives with such warmth and such love! Nothing like family...nothing like family!

Have a great week my friends!

Oh, I love your photos, they tell a story just in themselves. You had so much fun, with those sweet grandbabies, love it. I miss mine so much. Skype is good, but miss the hugs. Your cats wrestling--that is what mine used to do. so funny. You have quite a troop there.

Junebug said...

Aren't Grand kids the BEST! I had five of mine over for dinner, of course with Moms & Dads on Sunday. It is so much fun to have family around. I absolutely love the pitcher and glasses you found. And the pics of all your precious pets!
Hugs, June

Your grands are so adorable. I bet hey do have you wrapped around their little fingers. I am down to the last few days/weeks? and my first Grand will be here..I can't wait to get my hands on him! Keep Sara and baby Tiger in your prayers please! A Mama gets a little nervous at this time I guess. hugs, Linda

pollydove said...

My little Libby gets away with anything at grandma's house too. That's half the fun of being a grandma isn't it?!?!?! Your little girls are sooo darling - I just love them all dressed up for church too.

pure happiness! Sophia is one lovely little lady.
Your vintage glass set is adorable, I like the vibrant colors, they will make any lemonade taste delicious.
Do your grandchildren have their 'one' glass already? I can imagine all the children running while shouting I like the yellow flowers, I pick orange, my favorite color is blue.... hee hee.
Hope your Tuesday is great so far, Julie! xxxx

Ann said...

Debby said...

I am so excited. I am in Colorado and on my daughter's computer. Mine at home won't let me on to some blogs.....and one is yours. Anyway, so exciting that I could get on yours and see those adorable grandbabies of yours. Also love those pets. I have been looking for stools like that. (((((HUGS))))

i am so happy to see bobby is well and being taken care of- you have a soft heart towards animals like me although i have to tell you your hubby must be a saint- mu hubby would never let me bring a cat we found at a hotel home. lucky for bobby that you came upon him.

have abeautiful day.

Karen Deborah said...

You have so many babies to love on!! And critters the cupcakes look so yummy. I am fighting a sweet tooth and it's winning. That cat can count his blessing that you found him. Do you still have the yellow tabby you rescued awhile back?

Jacqueline said...

How fun. There is nothing like grandkids is there! They are the frosting on my cakes!

Jewls said...

Little cuties! I want to squeeze little Sofia's cheeks! You're right, family is the BEST!

Your grandchildren are so adorable! Great pictures! I love how you took the kitty in and saved him. And the pitcher and glasses were a great find. Have a wonderful Thursday!

Midlife Mom said...

Ohhhhhhhhh! What a lovely weekend with your sweet grand baby! Love her all dressed up for church in her pretty dress! Our church is a bit informal these days and I don't like it. I think it shows respect to dress appropriately.

We are going to have our grand kids this weekend as their parents are in Arizona on a business trip. I can't wait!!!! I have already made plans for a mani and pedi for Miss T and I and and Grampie has plans for Mr. D. Plus we have lots to do here at the house. Such precious times!!

Great post!!! xoxox

Jill from Killeny Glen said...

Cutie grand-girl!!!

Cougar is SO BIG!!

Well, this whole post is just full of adorable photos! There really is nothing like family. :-)

P.S. I'm loving that vintage glass and pitcher set, too.

Garden of Egan said...

I love the kitties wrestling!

Darling pictures of the grands. Little Sophia has grown so much!

Nezzy said...

Oh my mama had a set of glasses like that on the farm I grew up on.

Your grandbabies are just a glorious bundle of sweetness there!!! There is a resemblance there with the Cupie doll and Spohia!

God bless ya and have a terrific day sweetie!!!

Susan R said...

Cougar said he wants to come hang out at our house for awhile. Really, he did. He looks like such a sweet fella.
There's nothing better than a baby after a bath. They smell good and they are a little sleepy...heaven.
Ella and Sophia are definitely dolls.

Tanna at The Brick Street Bungalow said...

Oh, I know just what you mean about missing those babies and grandbabies. Big hugs ~ tanna

blessedmom's simple home said...

Your little granddaughters are adorable. Sophia does look like a sweet Cupie doll :-)

Thank you so much for your prayers for my nephew Jordan. They have meant so much to the family.
Blessings,

They are such a blessing, aren't they?

I love these little glimpses of your sweet family...

Sophia looks like she was dipped in a bucket of cute!!!

Gloria said...

It looks like Sophia had a wonderful time with her grandma & grampa! She is SOOOO sweet! She does look like your Cupie doll...:)

I love your vintage finds! What a deal you got. That stool is very cute, it would look cute red too.
