Happy 4th of JULY!!!!! The weekend was so wonderful! We went to Kanab and enjoyed some time with the Fam. Granny G. made some yummy homemade Rootbeer and we enjoyed the festivities that k-town was throwing. Of coarse Granny came through with such cute 4th of july outfits as you can see! Thank you Granny G.! The day was beautiful, as every 4th of July should be. We started off the weekend with a great parade in the morning, then went to the park to have some lunch, and ended it with watching the fireworks at Grandma Jeans. We had lots and lots of good treats and homemade Rootbeer to fill us completely full till I thought I was going to burst. Overall it was a great first 4th of July for Emmitt!
He loves his Granny....
and her cool toys!


Getting ready for the Parade to start
His two front teeth are finally starting to show. Such a Daddy's Boy still!
Emmitt before your eyes on your left is what your going to look like in about 23 yrs. To your right is what your going to look like when your an old fart. Well it looks like things are going to turn out pretty swell for you after all.

Emmitt thought he had the best of us in grabbing a tootsie roll and putting it quickly into his mouth... until he realized it still had the wrapper on. His face is exactly what it should be tasting waxed paper.
Oh yes, Kade did run out to spider man in the middle of the parade and make him take a picture with Emmitt! Kade was more excited than Emmitt was.
At the park Granny took Emmitt to the fountains and he loved it.
This picture is priceless I look at it and can't quite laughing!
Loving Granny G's. lawn and beautiful landscape

The Fireworks were great as always in Kanab! Emmitt did not cry one time during the fireworks, in fact he giggled at times and ooooed and ahhhed as Kade did. He thought they were the neatest thing ever.

Emmitt loves this toy at Granny G's house. He is living the life with the remote control in one hand and sitting on the Big Yellow Turd.


Emmitt is finally moving more!HOoray! He really wants to crawl but still prefers to scoot he pulls himself up on things and just giggles! Soon he will be all over the place when he realizes he can crawl, I think it will be so much fun when he can!

Well this blog is done by me, Kade. I figured since it was my first fathers day, I would give a report on how it all went. We went up to my cabin to spend it with my family. We had a fine meal which consisted of steak and potatoes. It was a great time for all and great to see two of my bro's, my grandma, and my mom and dad. It was beautiful weather. I could not have asked for more.

Panguitch Lake, the most pretty lake on the face of the earth.
If you look clear across the lake and see those buildings, my cabin is one of them.
Turns out fathers day is like having a second birthday. It was great. I made out with a good haul for sure. I have been wanting some tools to work with and new fishing gear and that is exactly what I got. My wife gave me a really nice fishing pole with a bunch of equipment to go with it. I have the best wife in the world. My parents gave me all the tools, they are so nice and will come in handy for sure. My mommy gave us the money too. Great day for me and Ang.

Granny with Emmitt! and below Uncle Dane, Grandma Jean, Granny, and Uncle Tason with Emmitt!
I am so happy to be a father and to have Emmitt with me in my life. He just makes every day better. I tell Angie all the time, no matter what kind of day I am having, when I see Emmitt my day is so much better then. I love him so much. He is the best son I could of ever imagined to have. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for letting me be Emmitt's Father. IT IS THE BEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emmitt has a new toy and he loves it!!! Its his Frogger Floaty! We ran a hose from the washer hookup to get warmer water for the kids to swim in so really they were in there own little hot tub. ha ha. Emmitt just layed back and enjoyed himself this afternoon.He finally started figuring out he could move himself around in it. The little pool he is in made that possible. He would kick is feet off the bottom and push himself around in it.

Of coarse Will had to try it too! He was too tall though. He kept trying to stand up and would head dive first straight into the water. When the pond gets warmer they will love this.
Emmitt and Andelynn are inseparable, when she saw how much fun Emmitt was having she goes, " I want a turn". She ended up getting really mad because she was told she was too big to get in it. " I'm not" she would say over and over again, then go off and pout. She is a cutie. She makes Emmitt laugh so hard. He loves her to death!

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.
