Mixing & Baking

Isaac really likes to help me bake right now. He is always asking to "mix". He gets a chair right beside me and dumps the ingredients in and mixes them together. We do have a mess to clean up afterwards but it is still fun.

Sorry forgot to turn this one. You get the idea.

We were making cupcakes this day. He can hardly wait for them to come out of the oven when we are baking.

Feeding the Animals

Isaac loves to help feed the animals we have at the house right now. We have 3 steers and 3 goats. Here are pictures of him helping.

He carries the feed in a small bucket for the goats. The goats just follow him to the feed dish. Isaac will dump it in for them and loves to watch them start eating. He even tells them to "EAT!"

Silly Man

Isaac sure has his moments that just make you smile and laugh. Here are a few of those times.

This is Isaac with his "produce stand" in the living room. He goes through phases where he hauls the potatoes and other produce around in his dump truck and here he unloaded them on the couch.

This is one of those times I say he is acting like his father!

Yes you are seeing this one correctly. I found him in the living room one night with the carton of orange juice, drinking it straight from the carton. Daddy was blamed for this one too!

He loves stickers right now and decided one night to put them on his face instead of his toys and paper.

Visit with Relatives

During the third week of August, we traveled east again for my grandfather's funeral. Even though it was a difficult few days, we did enjoy visiting with all the cousin's and their families. Isaac had fun with all the other kids his age. Here he is eating dinner with Jayson, Elijah and Avery at the kids table.

This was a rare occasion for all of us cousins on my Dad's side to be together since we are spread out over many states now. We took this cousins picture along with all the cousins's kids in the next picture.

This was amazing to actually have them all sit on the couch together, even though they are not all looking the same direction. From left to right, Jayson holding Christian, Avery, Alayna, Tayla, Elijah holding Alyssa and Isaac.

Here is Isaac playing toys with Aunt Deanne and Aunt Danielle.

He even played "This little piggy" with Great Grandmom Detweiler. We stayed at her house during our visit.

Phillies Game

In August, my family treated us all to a Phillies game one evening. This was Isaac's first Major League Baseball game.

Here is me with my parents and sisters after the game. The Phillies new stadium was great to see.

This is what the game did to Isaac. He enjoyed it and even liked to watch the airplanes flying overhead from time to time during the game.
