Ron and I went for a ride...stopping at antique shops along the way...we ended up here...at the Rockin R Ranch in Antimony, Utah...about 45 minutes from our home.
It is also a dude ranch where kids can come and spend some weeks
out of the summer learning ranching and the cowboy way of life.
and everything that is Cowboy and Indians.
big hay wagon.. Such a beautiful team of horses.
As we stopped in for dinner there was a big family that had
rented the whole place for the weekend. My husband knows
the people who own this so we had a free dinner with them.

My daughter made this chart showing the 9 months of her pregnancy.
I thought it was really cool...and yes, we are still waiting for little Sophia
to be born! It has got to happen this week or the doctor will most likely
start her. She's had it and says she just can't stretch anymore...I think
we can all relate to that!
Say a prayer for her will you my friends?

Thank you...sending out all my love to each of you...have a good week!
If you don't hear from me...You'll know where I am :D

We'll be hoping and praying for your daughter. Take care.
I accidentally found the Rockin R Ranch about a month ago when I was looking at family reunion sites in Utah. It looks fab and now I like it even better because it is close to where you live!
I think it would be so romantic to be able to saddle up the horses with your hubby and go riding off visiting antique stores, stopping for dinner. It is dreamlike to us city folks - ha ha!
That ticker of your daughter is super neat - Good luck to her!

Oh, and 'went for a ride' that's something straight out of a fairytale book! Your part of the world... beautiful! xx
The ranch looks awesome! And the brownies look delicious! YUm! Your daughter is a cutie! I feel for her... those last couple of weeks of pregnancy can be so uncomfortable. But soon there will be a sweet baby and it will all be worth it! :-)
Looks like a fun place to visit. I must try those smores brownies. My two favorites together has to be a good thing. Hope your daughter's delivery goes well.
Wow what an amazing place and such a fun adventure for kids!!!! I'm dying to know if you were raised as a "farm girl" or if you have adapted since you live on a farm now. (Working or not, it does seem like a farm.)
What a darling way to chart a pregnancy - too fun!!! :)
I love that your daughter documented her belly each month. What a great keepsake that is going to be! Best thoughts for her and Sophia!

Megan
