Pitch Fork Fondue!!

On Saturday, August 11th - as soon as Bob got to the farm - we traveled down to Virgelle, MT to partake in a pitch fork fondue! It's exactly what it sounds like. Putting meat on a stick and boiling it in oil. It wasn't The Melting Pot, but it was incredibly delicious!!

This is what we are planning on doing for Christmas Eve dinner!! That's a lot of oil. But it's oil that is made in Fort Benton!!

The steaks were HUGE! 

There were a lot of people there. Or in other words - a lot of steak to cook.

Smiling with daddy.

Just chill in' in the shade, enjoying the afternoon.

Snuggly Girls

Post bath. Just makes me want to squeeze their cheeks and hug them tight.

Jersey Time

Etta got to wear her "sport clothes" when she would get home from working on the farm. So Mae decided one day she needed some too - so she borrowed sister's. Just a little big. And the Olympics were on the entire time we were in Montana, so they needed to be like the athletes.

You can have a "cheese" mommy, but not our eyes!

Ant Exterminators

Who needs chemicals when you have a couple of fearless kids around?

Bow and Arrow

Etta saw an archery set in a magazine and said she wants it for her birthday. Hopefully these home made ones will keep her happy.

Marj - this post is for you!!

John Nesby came for a visit. Mae wasn't shy and snuggled right in.

A group shot. And if you look close (you don't even have to look that close...) Baby Wicks #3 is starting to show. I am due March 2, 2013 and am 12 weeks along today!

Friends

On July 17th we had friends from Portland stop by for a visit. 

Mae cuddled right up to Duane and just relaxed.

It was cool enough in the shade to enjoy some chalk time. Andrea and Duane took a class at Disney to learn how to draw the characters. Duane's Minnie put anything Bob & I attempt to shame.
