The ranch has reopened after our 6 week hiatus to great guests.  We’d like to thank all the new friends we’ve made from all around the world these last two weeks.  It’s been a great kickoff to an eventful season.  We’ve welcomed back our “Summer Wranglers” who come back every summer break in between college and we enjoy all their company and hard work, in addition to Craig who has been with us for many years.  We can’t wait to meet all the new faces to come and welcome back the returning guests.  So, saddle up and cowboy up!  See ya’ll out west!

Jeremy and Jodi are expecting the birth of their second child in mid-October.  Another cowpoke will be riding horses by spring 2011!  Their daughter Sophie is 27 months now and is very excited for a brother or sister.  Vicki and Tony’s little girl Raygen, now 2 months old, will be close in age and can teach the baby the ropes.  Dan and Carrie are overjoyed to have another little one to spoil.  Please keep the family in your prayers.  Yee Haw!

Raygen Lynn was born on Wednesday morning, February 10th, to Dan & Carrie’s daughter Vicki and her husband Tony.  She was 8 pounds 14 ounces and 19 inches long.  Both mommy and baby are doing great and arrived back at the ranch.  Everyone is overjoyed and Carrie is itching to put her on a horse already.  Congratulations!

We thank all our guests, for another fun filled evening.  We enjoyed ringing in the New Year amongst family and friends.  The fireworks were great, yet again and we are glad that all the guests stayed up to enjoy them.  Happy New  Year!

There has been construction at the Hoover Dam building a bypass that will cut down our guests’ travel time to and from the ranch.  Construction has been going on for a few years now, but we believe by 2011 it should be all done.  For an update on the project, go to the following link.

We have had another blessed Christmas holiday at Stagecoach Trails.  A full house, family from Wisconsin visiting and around 30 guests make our 9th holiday very special.  We continued our southwestern tradition of breaking the pinata on Christmas Eve.  This was an event in the book “Mystery in Arizona” with Trixie Belden.   That book was the inspriation for Carrie’s dream of owning a ranch when she grew up.  We had many children again this holiday and it was a great evening.  We thank all our repeat guests who have joined us, as well as the new ones.   We are looking forward to having you return next year.  Merry Christmas to all!

A GIRL!!  Vicki and Tony are set to welcome a little cowgirl to the ranch family mid February.  They’d like to thank all the family, friends and guests for their prayers during this joyous time.  She’ll be out riding horses when she is 4 months like her cousin Sophie! Everyone can’t wait!

Dan and Carrie’s daughter, Vicki and her husband Tony, are pleased to announce they are expecting a baby on February 13, 2010.  The little cowgirl or cowboy will be the couple’s first child and Dan and Carrie’s second grandchild.  Everyone is very excited for another little one running around the ranch.  Although Jeremy, Jodi and Sophie (now almost 20 months) are back in Wisconsin, they do come and visit the ranch often and can’t wait for Sophie to have a little cousin to play with.  God’s blessings to the expectant couple!

We’d like to thank the Wildriders from Chicago for heading west again for another great family reunion week.  Last week was filled with lots of fun and great memories.  The inital visit to Stagecoach Trails was back in 2002 and the gap in between visits was too long!  We’d like to thank Bob for planning yet another great group of over 40 for us to host.  We can’t wait to see you all again in 2010!  Gooooooo Packers!!!
