Issac's First Birthday!

Fishing Martinsdale Reservoir

The last weekend in August we took a morning off from harvesting and took the boat out to Martinsdale Reservoir. We spent the morning in the sun fishing and playing in the boat. Here is Issac's first fishing lesson.

The Captain

The fishing was awesome, they were biting like crazy! Bryan was the only one to actually get one into the boat though, nice rainbow trout!

Harvest was a little later this year due to the late summer moisture and cooler temperatures. All the wheat is cut and in the grain bins finally!

We had a few dinners out in the field, and lots of lunches on the combine.

A view from the cab of the combine, the scenery doesn't change a whole lot from here.

Jen & Court's Wedding

August 22 Jen & Court were married in Alpine, WY. The Box Y Lodge was a beautiful place tucked up in the mountains above Palisades Reservoir. The ceremony was outside under the pine trees, with horses galloping in the meadow behind the altar. Jen and Court wrote their own vows, and they presented small gifts to the kids during the ceremony. It was a great weekend with wonderful family, good food and drinks, and lots of fun!

At the beginning of August we had a nice quick visit from the Wisconsin Roys. They came to see the ranch after a few days in Glacier National Park before heading back to Missoula. We did a tour of the ranch between the thunderstorms, rain, and fog-love that Montana weather!

I finally finished a quilt for Issac that I started before he was born. It turned out nice and cuddly!

Chad and Sherri had a "couple's night" at the beginning of the month. (I think it's quickly turning into "family night") We had a wonderful dinner of artichoke chicken and garlic bread, fresh veggies, and cheesecake for dessert. Issac and Savanna got tired and fell asleep on the couch.
