Life on The Ranch

This week Heather, Ethan, Sadie and I packed up the car and went to Southern Oregon. We spent the week at "The Ranch" in Grants Pass. My parents live in a beautiful home that my dad built (of course) on the Rogue River in the wonderful Rogue Valley. It's absolutely beautiful. It's also one of the most relaxing vacations we take as a family. Mostly because my family just likes to hang most of the time and because there's nothing to do in Grants Pass. It was a great! Ethan was able to spend the week with his giant cousins as they rolled around the miles of carpet in their grandparent's home. Jackson and Tyler worked on getting "the buddy" crawling and he's pretty much nailed down the official army crawl. He loved his time with his Uncle Paul, Aunt Margaret, Grandma and Papa as well. I was so happy to spend time with that side of the family. We were unable to get together for the holidays, so this made up for the absence at Christmas. Looking back on the week, Grants Pass treated us pretty well. From tractor rides, to the local traveling circus and going to "Horton Hears a Who" on opening day, the week was packed pretty full of fun experiences. Ethan can't wait to join the big boys on scavenger hunts and tractor rides soon. With his blonde hair and blue eyes, he'll fit right in as the Blue Boy Posse goes bounding off on the many adventures of The Ranch!
