Yes, my mom calls their place 'Tall Oaks Ranch', a bunch of trees, 1 dog, 2 horses and a newly added cow and calf. It's one of my favorite places! The main reason we went home other then to visit was the 3rd annual Dru Sjodin Purple Elephant run/walk.
Sonja, baby E and I walked the 5k. It was a great morning and a great turn out. Sonja and I got to hang out a bit and get caught up with what's happening in our lives. :-) I also got to see her whole family, what a plus.
While I was walking, C got to hang out with Mawga! They picked red raspberries, went to see the cousins next door, and visited the cow and horses!
This is the only horse she can ride at the Ranch, at least for now! Yee - Haw!!
And you are looking at only part of my parents massive garden behind C and she got to pick green beans, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, and C picked a green tomato, an unauthorized pick I might add.

Nephew J and niece G holding baby E. Doesn't she look so comfortable?
Our nephew Z had his birthday August 6th and we got him a pretty sweet K'nek set. Everyone here is checking out the new set! Jim couldn't wait to open it and see what there was to make, but I reminded him, it's Z's gift, not his!
And while I was walking, Jim got the beauty of hanging out at home with my dad! He helped him put the starter on his old B John Deer and start up the old '67 chevy. It hasn't ran in over 2 years but Saturday was the day to get it running. Not sure what else he found to fix or do but there is always something happening on the ranch.

And last but not least a few pictures to keep those to don't see baby E on a weekly basis up to date.

Baby E is SO CUTE! Can't wait to see her in person soon! And glad you had a good trip to the "ranch" - I think the one we're at right now has a few more animals... :)
yes, my mom's 'ranch' isn't much of a ranch but she say's 'i can call it what I want'... the funny thing is she only started this about 5 yrs ago and we've had the least amount of animals since then.
