William Bonnie's little boy is getting so big! He is already being such a great older cousin for Emmitt. He tries to teach him everything he knows how to do already.

It was a scorching hot day out and Emmitt was not liking it at all....
So Dad decided to take him on an adventure to the pond. I ended up letting him dangle his feet in the water while we watched Dad jump in with Josh and Mitch for a light swim.
Here (as you can tell) Kade is the ring leader of Josh and Mitch. These two 16 yr. old boys are sadly under Kades watchful eye while we are out here working on the ranch. I don't think they mind if you know what I mean. They seem to be having a great time. I think Kade believes he is still 16 when he is around these boys!
Josh and Kade
They ended up tipping over the canoe and slowly tried to get back in. From this picture it looks like they almost had it but in the END.....
They never did. Even though they were unable to get back into the canoe they still had a great time.

So Granny G. bought Emmitt this really cute 9 month outfit for the summer. Well I thought it was pretty funny when the shirt and the shorts fit him just right but his hat as you can tell is extremely tight!!!! the brim is completely flattened to his forehead! He didn't get his fathers head at all did he ;)
Here he is playing Patty cake!
I can never get enough of his perfect smile. I love it!

Big benefit of being at the ranch is seeing this right before we go to bed at night. Can I say, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8 months old!!!!

Emmitt turned 8 months old yesterday and is learning so quickly. He laughs all the time, loves to grab at food on my plate and eat it. Is rolling and pulling himself up on things. Slowly wanting to crawl, scoots instead in a circle on his behind. He says " Ma Ma, Da Da, and Bu bba" He loves to give kisses to anyone he can get a hold of. He throws his head back and screams when he is mad, and shakes his head NO NO NO. He has four teeth, and the fifth has been literally a living hell for him. Kade told me to say that. He has had it ruff the past little while with his teeth but is still smiling constantly! I can never get enough of this little man.FUN DAYS AT THE RANCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Playing in the grass on a nice summer day.
Granny G. bought him a huge tubaware that is used for Emmitts bathtub. He loves it so much. He just splashes and splashes, by the end of bath time I am covered with water and it is as if I got in bath myself.

Emmitt loves to play patty cake with me, He claps all the time trying to get me to sing the song.
The beginning stages of crawling, he moves very little but is starting to like it more and more each day.
