Roberts' Family Bakery


There is a yummy new bakery in Gate City, where Grandma and Grandpa live.


Isaac really liked his cookie from the bakery.

Whatcha doin', Isaac?

Sorry, Briley - I think I'm going to eat my whole cookie!

Isaac's first Braves game

Dad's birthday is coming up, and since we live much closer to Atlanta now (about 3 hours), we went to a Braves game one afternoon. It was Isaac's first major league game, and he really had fun! He sat through the entire game (with a few concession stand breaks, of course...)

Even Charley was ready to go to the game (though he waited in the car)!

Dad taught him how to watch the game - it's a very serious endeavor...

Go Braves!

A really big baseball

He enjoyed watching the game on the field, but he REALLY liked the jumbo-tron (which he called "Baseball TV")

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Isaac's "prayer"



We are trying to teach Isaac the "God is great, God is good" prayer before meals. So, this morning after breakfast, Isaac said, "Let's pray, Dada." This is what he said.
(We think it's something about "Mama snake," spoken in rhythm to the "God is great" prayer. He has since done this a lot, repeating, "Mama snake" an indefinite number of times, and then saying, "Amen.")

Mowing the lawn

HUGE new lawn that Garin has to mow (heheh)



Dad and Isaac on the mower!


Water night with FW Friends

On Wednesday, they had "water night" at the church. They put a huge sheet of plastic on the hill, and let the kids slide down it. The kids seem to have fun!

The water slide down the huge hill

Isaac mostly enjoyed watching the big kids slide...

Isaac had more fun just playing with the kids.

When Dad got there, though, Isaac tried to be brave and go down the slide.



He didn't really enjoy it so much.

Big steps

Isaac was being very quiet one day, and so we went in search of him and this is what we found:


Isaac had pulled out his step-stool and climbed up to the sink, picked up his toothbrush, and was trying to put toothpaste on it (with the lid on).

He "brushed his teeth" for about 10 minutes (really, just sucking on the toothbrush).
