Fishing Addiction

 This summer Emmitt discovered he LOVES fishing.  He spent hours upon hours in the ridiculous heat fishing away.  His fishing buddy Hudson and him got really into it and when they weren't fishing they were watching YouTube videos about fishing.  It was a much more preferable activity than video games so I was happy.  The only draw back is that they constantly wanted to go buy more fishing stuff- at one point they even had a lemonade stand just to raise money for fishing stuff.  I didn't know it was such a costly hobby but we all have learned a lot.

Weekend at Broken Bow

 We had such a fun weekend in Broken Bow with our friends, the Corbridges.  We stayed in this gorgeous cabin and it was so beautiful and peaceful.  It had game tables and a hot tub and a beautiful wrap around porch.  The surrounding trees were enormous.  It was just lovely.  We spent most of the days we were there boating.  The lake there is gorgeous.  Other than some rain, we had nice weather and were able to enjoy our time together.

The first day Dad and Brielle and Emmitt and I went early to enjoy some fishing time on the lake.  Then before heading to the cabin we visited the Hochatown Saloon for a great local restaurant experience.






First day fishing.  Sadly there was not a single fish caught.  But the views were worth the trip.





The inside of the cabin!

Hot tub on the back porch.  Pretty Heavenly.


Boating/ swimming/ just having a great time!



The rain storm- it came and went fairly fast...so it didnt ruin our fun.  We pulled out for a bit and got snow cones and by then the rain stopped.




Makenna, Tyson, Brielle and Kylie stayed up super late/ early one night and all sorts of silliness occurred- including this attempt to stay dry in the hot tub.

We moved the home MTC to be the cabin MTC.  I think it worked out pretty great.  It was nice to have him with us and I think he enjoyed the change of view.

It was a fabulous getaway weekend.  We had a blast and are so grateful for good friends to share these good times with.

Set Apart

He is officially a missionary.  President Platte set him apart with a beautiful blessing.  The family was all able to be there.  He allowed me to take some notes during it and it brought us all peace and joy.  I am excited to hear about all that is coming.







Missionary Pics


We went out to take some pictures of Brayden to use on his farewell invitation and just because its the thing to do nowadays to have some "mission pics"  He is one good looking missionary!
