Fall Creek Falls

The Delks- all branches, went to Fall Creek Falls to enjoy a picnic with Whitwell Church of Christ (Joe's home church) and celebrate Grammy's birthday. My branch of the Delks arrived late, thus giving us more nap time, and less time with cranky babies in the heat.

Here is Abby eating her "hot dog" in typical Isaac fashion- no meat.

Here is Andy staying hydrated, with his fabulous new "do" done by Aunt Beth.

We did have a fun time seeing everyone, and Abby learned that coolers, especially ones that have ice and drinks in them, can make good toys in a pinch.

Later, we went indoors to the Inn, where we celebrated Grammy's birthday by having dinner. We changed all the kids' putfits, since their others were all wet. Unfortunately, I did not bring my camera inside, and I don't think Joe took any pics of us inside. Aunt Beth did get this pic of Andy looking stylish.

Fun with Aunt Beth

Because summer just wouldn't be the same without a visit from Aunt Beth, or Uncle Beth as Isaac likes to call her, we celebrated her arrival in style by going to.... McDonalds!!! And the Heavens rejoiced!! Aunt Kitty (Melissa) came was well to help with crowd control. We made sure they ate first, then they got to play!!

Andy made sure to clean his plate... and Isaac's and Abby's. He really does take after his Papa Joe after all!!

Isaac was nice enough to show Andy how to make the game make noises.

Help!! They have me trapped!!

Look where I am!!!

Abigail "Jones" facing the Playground of Doom!!

Just sitting here, waiting for Isaac to come down

Isaac actually played on the playland today. This was his first time being brave enought to go through all the tunnels. The first time, he followed another kid and went down the small slide. (the green one) But this time, he went in alone and... got a little lost. Aunt Kitty was about to go in after him, but he managed to find his way to the twisty slide, and came down unharmed. He wanted to go again, but we needed to go have diaper change and nap time.

Three Major League Ballparks

Hello Everybody. Isaac here again. I wanted to show you pictures from the three major league ballparks I have been to on this trip.

After I slept in my big boy bed, we woke up and headed to Cincinnati. Daddy and I took a tour of the ballpark and I got to sit in the dugout. Here is me telling everybody how I miss the Lookouts being a Reds affiliate.

I also got to run around on the field some. Daddy took this picture while sitting in the dugout.

We also got to go on the field and check out the warning track. I couldn't wait to run on the grass but Daddy would not let me.

That night we watched the Pirates and Brewers. I really like the game but it was very loud. They played a movie at the beginning that really scared me. Daddy liked the video but I hid behind my seat for most of the rest of the game.

The next day we work up early and hit the road. We went and watched the Phillies and the Cubs. Daddy wore his Braves shirt (underneath his other shirt because he is a 'fraidy-cat) and I tried my best to put a curse on them.

It did not work because the Phillies won. One thing they had that I did like was a Phillie Phanatic shoe slide. It was really fun.

Even though the Phillies won, I still had fun and Daddy got me a bat. I love getting bats.

We had fun, but Daddy was glad it was the last MLB game of the trip.

Isaac's Adventures Baseball Trip 2010

Hello Everybody. This is Isaac. Daddy and I are in the middle of our 2010 baseball trip and I wanted to tell you a little about it so far.

First off we left home and headed to the Lexington Legends. Daddy and I drove up to Lexington, KY. It was fun and I did sleep for a little while but I was very excited about the Legends and Greenville Drive.

Here is a picture of me at the Kentucky Welcome Center.

That night we went to the Lexington Legends. The game was fun but the flames that shot out of the scoreboard scared me.

Daddy let me get all my energy out and run around the stadium. There was a big horse on the right field side. I like it.

After the game we went back to the hotel room. I really liked having my own big boy bed. Daddy laughed at how excited I was.

We had some fun the next day when we toured Great American Ballpark and watched the Brewers and Pirates. I would tell you all about it but Daddy says I have to go to bed. We had a fun day today watching the Phillies and the Cubs but we need to go to sleep so we can get up tomorrow and go to Independence Park.

Good night.

Future Baseball Star

Joe bought Isaac a baseball T and an aluminum bat. Joe is proud that Isaac properly holds the bat and has a good swing. He just wished that Isaac would stand on the proper side of the plate. Isaac is a lefty; otherwise known as our retirement plan.

The other voice on the video is Travis Wong our neighbor.

Oh, the cleverness of me!

"I like to sing the Head, shoulders, knees, and toes song! This is my mouth!"
Isaac loves all things musical. Before he can go to sleep at night, he says the Pledge to the flag, and sings the Star Spangled Banner. If he wakes up in the middle of the night, we have to sing Jesus loves me and Jesus loves the little children before he'll go back to sleep.




"I love to accessorize my wardrobe. Don't ask me to wear silly bows; I love shoes and jackets."
Abby loves her shoes so much, she won't let you take them off until it is time for bath. In this picture, Abby couldn't find her jacket, so she wanted to wear Isaac's.





"I'm hungry. Isaac was foolish enough to walk away from his food. A baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do."

I laughed so hard when I walked into the dining room and found Andy eating Isaac's dinner. It was all over the floor, but Andy was not deterred. He used the spoon as best he could, then gave up and used his hands. He got a bath right after this.

Early Easter

The Delks celebrated Easter and the joint birthdays of Isaac and Joshua at Grammy and Papa Joe's house in Murfreesboro. It was fabulous because the whole family was able to attend. Isaac and Joshua behaved themselves and had a great time during the egg hunt.

Isaac was so excited to find eggs!

Here is Joshua doing a fabulous job finding eggs.

Isaac talks about Josh-ee-wash all the time. He really likes Josh-ee-wash. He likes Josh-ee-wash so much, he calls his friend down the road Josh-ee-wash; the friend's name is Will.

Full basket!

Great job Birthday Boy!

We had Isaac wear his birthday shirt too. They were total twinkies.

Here is Joanna's friend, Mary Milam. She totally made Isaac's day by getting him more cars to play with. He doesn't go anywhere without at least one car in his hand.

We Bradley girls really take our picture taking job seriously.

Joe got a lot more pics on his camera, but I don't know where his cord to download them is, so you'll have to settle for my pics. I'll make Joe download more pics later. :)
