I'm sorry for your loss. These moments that you filmed will be hard, but when the pain stops, i hope they help you remember and you'll cherish it. Riv was a sweet boy. I cannot feel your pain, but as a father i can only imagine.
I don't even know where to begin anything, I lost my brother 1 year and 1 month ago, still in complete shock, grieved a lot of deaths in my days, this one feels like I've been permanently marked with something. It's like I'm learning how to be in the world without him. I don't like it. I quote the Lord is my Shepard verses every time I'm losing it.... I couldn't imagine a child. Very profound moment for me when he said River was here for as long as he was supposed to be.
Extremely sorry for your loss. You’re right about something. He sits with the King of Kings & our Most High, believe that. I almost passed last year, I couldn’t see his face nor look at the light but no words can express the waves of love felt. Truth be told, I didn’t want to come back. Take heart, brother. You have HI ‘Ohana praying. God bless Smith family. 🙏🏼
Kept thinking back to this video today when I learned of the news. I’m heart broken for the Smith family. I can’t even fathom how difficult a time this must be. The last 10 years or so I’ve lost every family member except for my sister. We are the only two left and just entering our 40’’s (neither of us blessed with kids). I’ve learned that you can never take a day for granted. Tomorrow is never promised. My mom was the last and the hardest for me. I just can’t imagine being a parent and having to say goodbye to a child. My sincerest condolences go out to Granger and his family. Prayers for you all...
We tried that DuPont pellets that expand like a thousand time it’s size with Zero Luck. Our pond leaks out the sides, not the bottom. However, you can spread Bentonite around the edges & it’ll sink & work it’s way down. Most ponds have sediment on the bottom & leaks out the sides. Just depends. I know a few people that have used All sealing products with no luck, including myself with our pond. We used Bentonite & tilled it Up in the dirt when it was empty, filled it, it leaked out. Then we bought the high dollar DuPont Stuff that you throw on top & it sinks with No luck. Once we started spreading Bentonite around the edges? It started sealing. There’s a bunch of vids on it. Worth a shot & much cheaper. That stuff you throw on top creates a thick layer of slime & it’ll kill your fish. We have ponds in S. Texas near Kingsville & down here S. of Houston. Trust me, we’ve tried it all. Sometimes a windmill pumping water in is perfect & cheaper in the long run. Hit me up at foshee.mike@gmail.com
Same here. I've been rewatching several of the videos that had a lot of River in them. When I heard the news I immediately felt it so hard because I teach swimming, and I know the dangers of it. This is just so tough, I can't imagine what they're going through.
@@sjselby95 the thing is little Riv knew how to swim. But they figure the fact he had a diaper on, which can soak up to 10lbs of water & that he had shoes on prevented him from being able to.
I am so sorry to hear the news about River, I can't imagine the pain your are going through. My prayers go out for your family and for God to give you strength in this trying time. God Bless you all.
Love country living! We have a stone road that goes for miles through the mountian that's near our place. My husband and I love hiking and exploring up there with our boys! So peaceful and the sounds and smells of the mountian...there's no better place! Wish we could show you this little slice of Pennsylvania heaven someday 👍
who else is watching their videos bawling their eyes out? why do innocent children have to be taken away so soon?🥺 🙏🏻 rip Riv, we love you and you will never be forgotten!♥️ fly high precious 👼🏻
Whats up SMITH FAMILY..!! Thank you for another look at the farm and part of your life..! Sorry for your fish, hopefully they hunkered down in the grass.! (I'm sure you'll find a fix.!) True sign of a Great Father and Mother..! They Never stop wanting to educate and help their children learn.!! PROPS.! Missed the ladies in this one.! Keep them coming..! Happy Memorial Day to ALL..!! as always THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE ONE AND ALL...!!!
Please don't ever leave the camera behind when you are going to the farm, especially if you are taking the kids on a ride like in this video! This was one of my fave videos because you were with your boys explaining nature, etc. It was a beautiful thing, Granger! xoxox to the fam. Heather🇨🇦
Amazing role model dad right there. Good job raising your kids Granger. You're a great guy. Hope one day when I have kids I can teach them and love them as much as you. I know i'll be able to love them just not sure if I can teach them as much as you. Love the vlogs and the family.
I'd imagine some if not most of the bass stayed in the pond. They don't like current for the most part. They will find a deep spot to ride out a flood. Hope the product your driver found works. Sounds a heck of a Lot easier than the alt. Lol fun adventures right there.
You may want to add a Flashboard spillway to the bass pond to help manage the water flow... Check with your local USDA Soil and Water Conservation District Office.
I just wanna send your Familt My Condolences.. I really dont know too much of what you are going thru. But my Family too Yours you'll be in or Prayers...
Grainger that's when pond maintenance comes into play. Farming and ranching takes work. Trust me. Been at it well past sixty plus years. Finding what works for the property takes time. But pays off in spades. Yee Yee!
Define the high water mark and width. The fence only needs to be a couple of feet taller than high water. Once a day check for trash and clear. The fish will stay in the pond and the water can flow out. Hope this helps. Mad respect for how you are raising some great children.
I like these videos about these adventures and they are educational and actually fun unlike school you tought me something new about Longhorns and the blue bonnets were cool
Damn im sorry about your pond! Hopeful the fry stayed out of the current. On a good note the other pond is getting plenty of oxygen with the water fall.
Lol I have to do the same thing w my 8 yr old!! He gets obsessed with some trivial something wears me out!!! Try to get him to listen and learn all about nature.
I love seeing the farm and watching you teach your boys about nature. Thanks for being “us” along. Sorry about your fish. Fish On- doubt Bobby Wayne caught too many, though.
Love the Yee Yee ranch videos. Keep em coming. Sorry to hear about your pond. I love y’all, but I am a long horns fan. Those longhorn cows you have are a beautiful burnt orange. My favorite color.
@@jesslabrunette such a terrible comment, may God show you love and compassion! And I pray you never have to endure this type of pain. Not a laughing matter.
Brady McIntyre they upload 3 times a week!! That’s a lot! Haha he also uploads on Tuesdays on his Yee Yee Life channel! Check that out if you haven’t yet!
Too bad TH-cam has to be against shooting anything. When it's like that they're a nucesnts more than anything. We shot 12 last winter trying to kill our livestock.
I don't what to be that guy that tells you how to parent cause your a great dad but try not to pick up the kids up by one arm they can get a thing called nurse elbow
love the yee yee farm
❤❤❤

The pain will never stop,sadly.
The pain will be there forever! You’ll just learn how to live with it. 😔😢
My question was gonna be when does the pain stop?
You never get over the hurt, you learn to cope! :(

Spending time teaching your boys, is pure Awesomeness!! #YEEYEE

Mike Hog A Nator good to know!
Granger, I’m very sorry to hear about River. I will keep your family in my prayers.

16:51 makes me so sad and scared

Granger I love the fact you teach your kids about the landscape and animals around! I fell that’s super important to teach young-ins.
Rip River you were only 3😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔 you lived such a short life
Such An "AMAZING FATHER" 💞💖💖💖
Farm is great! River listen so well such a awesome little champ!
We will never get sick of seeing the farm!!
I can’t believe he’s gone 😔
who else is watching their videos bawling their eyes out? why do innocent children have to be taken away so soon?🥺 🙏🏻 rip Riv, we love you and you will never be forgotten!♥️ fly high precious 👼🏻
Yeet Boi I’m so sorry! How did it happen?
I wonder how he got into the gated pool and no one noticed. So sad. He was so adorable.
Maybe you need to make the pond at least another 10 feet deeper lol
Heart and prayers go out to smith family.

Wayne Heath makes me feel better
Loved it "boy if I tell you again" things every great dad says
Omg not good! But you caught it Dad.
Such sweet boys. ❤️
Rip river
Probably the biggest fan of your song “holler”
Im Gageee thanks!
I like how real you guys are
I'm no fishologist, but it could be that all of the fish are 80 miles from Sante Fe.
I think they're in River's pockets 😂😂
MY PANTS HAVE POCKETS! I love that child, he's hilarious!

I just wanna send your Familt My Condolences.. I really dont know too much of what you are going thru. But my Family too Yours you'll be in or Prayers...
Love the weekly Smith videos. Granger were do you get your best ideas for you great songs?
Brother Just found you from Robs videos. Thanks for sharing with us. God Bless..
Bobby's Solar Homestead thank you!
Good times with the boys👍
🔥🔥🔥
Walmart sells urishol removal foaming soap and regular soap doesn't remove urishol, which is the poison ivy oil, hope that helps
Rowdy Broomstick its a gimmick. Very aggressive scrubbing with any soap and water work best.
Great job Granger! Love teaching young ones about the country!
Hey Grainger. Stake a 1/2 " chicken wire fence across the pond exit so the fish stay in the pond. Just a tip y'all.
Gabe Vieira don’t you think that would catch too many branches in a flood and break?
Grainger that's when pond maintenance comes into play. Farming and ranching takes work. Trust me. Been at it well past sixty plus years. Finding what works for the property takes time. But pays off in spades. Yee Yee!

Love your videos!
Your a good dude Granger! Teach these kids how it is. Kids these days mostly just know cellphones, video games and WIFI. 👊🏻
I love the farm vlogs and could never get sick of them
How could u get tired of seein the farm?!!!! Keep up the great content!!
The explaining of it not being Chocolate Milk was hilarious!
I’m here to read the comments about bad parenting because you dangled River over the water 😂😂
Love seeing the farm! Yall are so relatable thank you for that!
I love how you put your kids before anything @thesmiths
I like these videos about these adventures and they are educational and actually fun unlike school you tought me something new about Longhorns and the blue bonnets were cool
Hey granger love your farm and music yee yee
What a bummer about your baby bass but it's nice to see you and the boys taking adventures in the woods
Great 'boy's day out'!!
You should put an overflow pipe in the pond so you don’t loose the fish, sadly you’d have to drain the pond to put one in
🤔I like your. Pond
Hey granger Bentonite you can trow it all across the pond it will work done it took like 50 bags but it does work even with water.
Damn im sorry about your pond! Hopeful the fry stayed out of the current. On a good note the other pond is getting plenty of oxygen with the water fall.
LexHey I have not had my lunch yet because I was out on the lake OK do you like to go down
Lol I have to do the same thing w my 8 yr old!! He gets obsessed with some trivial something wears me out!!! Try to get him to listen and learn all about nature.
Just get Earl out to call the bass back with the old Texas bass call YEE-YEE
I love seeing the farm and watching you teach your boys about nature. Thanks for being “us” along. Sorry about your fish. Fish On- doubt Bobby Wayne caught too many, though.
Love the Yee Yee ranch videos. Keep em coming. Sorry to hear about your pond. I love y’all, but I am a long horns fan. Those longhorn cows you have are a beautiful burnt orange. My favorite color.
How could riv go😭😭😭😭
#RipRiv ♥️🙏
Yellow rose Texas never seen one before because we live in Missouri
Granger will you feed the fish?
River is so cute like if agree
Jessica Rodriguez wow what a heartless bitch you are.
@@jesslabrunette such a terrible comment, may God show you love and compassion! And I pray you never have to endure this type of pain. Not a laughing matter.
Hey
Wish you guys uploaded more but I understand hahah :/
Brady McIntyre they upload 3 times a week!! That’s a lot! Haha he also uploads on Tuesdays on his Yee Yee Life channel! Check that out if you haven’t yet!
Can I please come fishing 😂😂
I doubt you lost them all. Those birds probably took more than the flood. But the minnows like running water so a lot of them were probably lost.
Raising tree huggers 😄
Nice tour Granger thanks!
Sorry about your fish . Yup you may need to manage that.
Jo Jo in VT
She gone
They probably got ate
The peddle boat is probably a Dolphin brand, they are easily rebuilt and it should have an electric trolling motor built in...
I got poison ivy right now. First time this year last time I got it 6 times. That’s what happens when you landscape and fish everyday
We miss river. His life was too short.
Sorry you lost all your fish man!
You look totally different without your hat on! Love your videos!! Yee Yee
Love your ranger! Maybe you should add some accessories and winch and roof and door's or at least web door's
Look Around and Learn. Love It. Try to tell my teenagers this, and I’m better off talking to a wall
This was cool...sorry your fish got out, I hope they didn't
Do you ever have a coyote problem with the livestock there?
Aaron Drewelow yes
Too bad TH-cam has to be against shooting anything. When it's like that they're a nucesnts more than anything. We shot 12 last winter trying to kill our livestock.
Best person to ask about Palms is TH-cam channel let’s dig 18
Man I can't wait to meet you when you come play in Wisconsin in July 27th for my bday!
Don't worry Granger, Bobby Wayne caught em all! #FishOn!
Sorry Brother if they did swim away. Mother Nature can be cruel!
Does anybody know his grandfathers first name? It's really important please tell me if you know thanks
The fish should not all be gone and they will go in the water brakes wear the current slows and the will stay there
Oops, meant bringing us along.
Hey Granger! Happy Memorial Day, yee yee!!
I don't what to be that guy that tells you how to parent cause your a great dad but try not to pick up the kids up by one arm they can get a thing called nurse elbow
Free Mar you’re right
Love the vids so cool to see everything
I'll post pics on my Facebook joshua haney of the pond i done
I don't think you lost them there will still be some in there.
hey granger I'm early!
10th comment: I love u man
