Isaac doing some exercises...

After the success of the "Isaac-presses" I have tried to broaden Isaac's exercise regimen....

Here we tried some "weighted" jumping on the roof, (it was weighted b/c that little mane-fro is worth more than 5 lb ankle weights)

CHECK OUT THE VERTICAL!!!









Like I said, 5 maybe 10 pounds...


Well after his mama made us cut his hair(in a non-mullet-esque hair do) the weighted jumping lost its effectiveness. So we moved to a more routine exercise...



I know what you're thinking, pullups at his age may be a little advanced, or maybe your thinking why his father is letting him hang on his own several feet above the ground. Let me just say I was responsibly spotting him the whole time(keyword being responsible) and...

...his mom let him do the same thing, so there. In fact it was her idea, she put ME up to it.(alright that may be stretching the truth a bit.. but still she was an accomplice, after all who do you think took the 1st picture????) Anyways, as you can see he had some trouble with the whole pulling his whole body weight up so we decided to move to a machine and help him work up to his whole body wieght-that's right-bring on the lat pull downs:

In the video I drift back so you can see the 10 lb plate he's pulling. Yes I saw he was cheating a bit on the counting which is why we had to go all the way to 15. As for the 11 - 15, I didn't teach him that directly. Kid is a sponge everything you say is coming out at some time or another.

Overall I think he is coming along nicely in his progress as a UNC linebacker class of '29. Now I have to start planning the mo-hawk and one word linebacker name for his jersey. Reed has dibs on Clank, but maybe Hammer or Wedge. Oh well still got a few years before i have to submit the paperwork for the official name change.

These pictures were taken in Copán Ruinas. We went with Grandma, Papa, Becca, Michael Brown(aka Bwown by Isaac), Leah and of course us. Copán was an ancient Mayan city close to where Keyla grew up.

An example of the landscape as we drove out there.

Michael Brown coming back from Nature's call.


Nature called more than one person, although the culprit in this photo will remain nameless.

Laughing over the pictures of the call...

Still don't understand why we let him be in charge of children.

She looks sweet and calm here, she wasn't this calm after walking in the heat for a couple hours.

Keyla's two cousins that live here in Honduras, and one who is visiting from NC.

A ceiba tree, native to Honduras. The Mayan priests used to pull off the thorns and pierce their ears, tounges, and "other parts" as a part of their blood ritual.

Mom ponders what "other parts" the priets pierced with the aforementioned thorns.

Macaws that live there in the park.

The guide (guy in the cowboy hat) was our guide through the park. He's been there a while giving tours. He told us that he once was the guide for Spencer W. Kimball, that will tell you how long he's been doing this.

This was one of the alters that the Mayans used for human sacrifice. You can see the grooves carved in to aid in the dispersment of a certain liquid.

Becca just realized why the top half of the alter is darker than the bottom.
(hint: it has to do with the liquid that the grooves are for)

Isaac wanted to take over the job of guide.

Leah was evicted from the chair as soon as we had to start climbing the pyramids.

She found a new method of transport.

The group, at the end of the tour. Leah got to take her clothes off. It was all we could do to keep her father form doing the same.
