SPRING BRINGS....FLOWERS & GRANDS AND A NEW KITCHEN



I got to go shopping with this little darling and her family....


I think we should have bought her the hat
don't you? It couldn't have been cuter on any
other little girl I am sure!


Me and Caleb waiting for his mom in the changing room,
we got bored so we started taking pictures....


We do not know these silly people though...


they took our camera over and made us look C R A Z Y.


Spring in St. George is pure heaven...roses are
everywhere...

In every color...

I am constantly sticking my nose in them and deeply
drawing in that glorious scent...oh my!


The temple grounds are perfectly flowered
everywhere one looks.


We have roses in our yard too...


I LOVE our sweet home here in St. George


The air is just dense with the smells of 
roses and honeysuckle, I love to put some 
by my side of the bed at night, makes me
sleep so good!


I am feeding the birds and they are coming in droves...
every kind of darling little birds, so fun to watch.



We have torn out the old counter tops in this house...


they were so old and falling apart...


The kitchen didn't have a back splash at all, so....


This is the new granite for the counter tops...


and we added Subway tile for the back splash.


I am loving it! I have wanted subway tile in the last two
houses and got talked out of it, so this time I stuck to my
guns...loving it!!!


It looks like a new kitchen...



my view over the sink...


It is all so shiny and so gorgeous!  I need to get my bar stools
from the other house and my dining table too.


I love the Vintage look to this kitchen...



I can't get used to it yet, love it! I sold my saddle to help pay
for it and I have been selling stuff from our house in Bicknell,
we need to downsize big time!


Putting just my favorite things in this house...


Yup, I am one happy lady...
Now if our Bicknell house
would sell, I will be in 
heaven for sure!

Spring has brought many happy times...
~LIFE IS GOOD~

So great to catch up with you!! Love the roses! Mine are really having a tough time..late frost really set them back. You should have the best eggs ever from your little hens in such a stylish home - so cute. Grands are darling!!

Great posts Julie!
Your kitchen looks amazing..love, love the countertops and back splash!
Great family photos too!
And the roses, oh my, just gorgeous!
Amazed by hubby's Mom!
If my mom's parents were still alive they would both be 100 this year too.
Congrats to her!
