Props where deserved

No new pics of Jax today, but gotta give big love to:

1. BOSOX - Pedro who? Get outta town..... Gotta love the whoopin we put on his ass



2. STACER - finally found a job she's good at! Come home last night to a happy son who wants to watch the game and a perfectly clean kitchen -- with nothing on the countertops at all - LOVE IT. What a perfect house-wife huh?

New Friends for Jax -- and the big WIMP Fen

Jax got to meet Sterling's wife Dana and we all went to the beach together - for like an hour as Jax got all pissy when I took him in the ocean this time. Gonna have to beat that outta him now..........

He also was chillin with his new pal "MOO" and his buddy Fen




Speaking of Fen, check him out under the desk at the Paris' -- big storm outside and our big, bad dog inside shaking like a leaf for hours........




And of course Jax has some new toys - the first is a chair that he "sits" in and "rolls" himself around it.....then there is the bathrobe he uses when he is SCREAMING after the shower -- not in the shower, with me - he likes that. After the shower, with Stace -- no fun at all (can you blame him)??

Ortiz is SICK and KPD bags the big one

Two games in a row - two "walk-offs" for Big Papi - and AFRAUD was the MVP?? PLEASE.........



Check out the fish -- snook for KPD and a bad ass Jack for BCD -- good stuff

Pics from the weekend

Well the Sox are up 8-0 in the fifth, so I figured I'd share some pics (more to come, when B sends them down - so look for them sometime in the coming years).












What ever happened to these days?? Just a little blast-from-the-past -- boy is he a fatty these days!

In Which Jax meets his Aunt and Uncle and the Sox catch fire

Excellent weekend in Dunedin, FL -- but first, let's start with some older pics to give some props to the Grandparents from VT. Since Frank was sending the pics, you can assume the time lag for the pics from Brendan will be equally as long - so it may be a while till you see the monster snook from the weekend..........





Welcome back Gabe!! My man delivers for the Sox vs. the Nats and the hot streak continues.......season update:


Red Sox --
Yankees -2
Blue Jays -3.5
Orioles -9.5
Devil Rays -12


Many more pics to come in the upcoming days - Jax swimming in the pool, Jax with Aunt Dege and her "friend" (she never did tell us if she named it), Keith's monster Snook and B's first Jack..........

In which the Jaxson survives his first hurricane (and Tavarez DIES)

Well, it wasn't all that bad - some bad storms/wind last night and we lost power several times, but nothing exciting. Fenway didn't even get out of his bed and go to the closet, so you know it couldn't have been that bad........

On the other hand, Stace was able to get Jax to smile and laugh a bunch yesterday.




Some old crap Sox bullpen update - they SUCK! This guy needs to GO



We've also upgraded Jax to the super fancy stroller - its a bit big, but we think he enjoys being able to see what's going on around him:

Best Day Ever?

Holy crap! We've had some cool days, but today beats 'em all........

First - Jax's first trip to the ocean. We got him all lathered up with sunblock and threw on his SPF T-Shirt (thanks to Andy and Dana) and jumped in for his first swim. Didn't really know what to expect - but what happened was he fell fast asleep as he bobbed around in the waves - just out cold. Too funny......





Jax woke up from his post-swim nap and ate a ton (as usual, the fat little kid) and just in time for the 9th inning -- to see Big Papi hit a 3 run, walkoff shot with 2 strkes and 2 outs, down 2 runs. Is he not unreal? Jax was so pumped -- pumping his fists and screaming - "Go Papi!" - it was very cool.



Then - to top it all off - Jax gets a new toy. He LOVES this thing.........



Good stuff, good Sunday........see ya later this week

Big Day!

Big day for Jax, long day for Stace -- the 8 week checkup and Jax got four shots. Unfortunately he cried a bunch, so I guess we know he's not as tough as his old man..........by the way - he is about 25 inches and 15 pounds (which are around the 97th percentile for both at his age). You know what they say, big baby, big .............

So we all chilled out together "late night" and put on some Neil Young (Harvest Moon), danced around, laughed - all the same things old Gramps and Grandma did when Neil Young was on (except one thing - Jax is a bit too young to be inhaling).

We did get some good pics of part of the fam though.......

Happy Jax (which makes a happy Stace) - Fenway is still ambivalent

He seems to be smiling all the time these days, and has even "laughed" a few times (not sure if he meant to or not). It's hard to catch on camera though, the smile - don't think he loves the flash.........



Of course, when Stacy tried to give him a bath yesterday, he didn't smile -- he pointed and said - stay away or you'll get a big left-hand from me lady.....looks pretty menacing to me.......

I have nothing good to say today - I'm sure you all know why

Nothing new or good to report today, but here's a pic of Aunt (Ant) Dege and Uncle B -- this was right before Dege got arrested (setting such a good example for Jax)..........

Independence

Two nights in a row now in his own room -- it's going pretty well for Jax. Not so great for Stace. Still up every two to three hours for food, and now Stace has to run up the stairs every time. Not too bad for Keith though, he usually sleeps.........

He's gotten pretty damn big -- about 15 lbs we think.






Will he get as big as Papi - one of four Sox to hammer out home runs against the woeful Tigers yesterday? The "best team in baseball" has lost 5 of 7 to the MFY's and the Sox so I guess we know it's a two team race again after all........let's pray this is a serious injury!!!

Book smarts or Sox smarts?

Today we were chillin in Jax's room listening to Vivaldi and Mozart b/c it's supposed to make your baby "smarter" -- but Jax got bored and decided that cows and the Red Sox were both WAY cooler then classical music.........gotta say I like his decision making process........in order of importance to him are breasts, Red Sox, farting -- took me years to realize that was all you needed in life.

Jaxson loves Wally and we all love YOUK!

Yesterday, Jax was kickin it with Wally in his bed, talking about the big series with Detroit. Gonna be a tough one against the "best" team in MLB, but we gotta make something happen.....



Sleeping in his own bed (although none too happy about it usually) -- it's time to get him the hell outta our room!!



Well Jax was pretty stressed out last night about 10 PM -- 9th inning, Sox down 2-1, two outs, no men on. Lowell gets a two-out hit and Youks comes up and knocks one over the fence. GAME OVER (well, we still had the bottom of the 9th to go, but with Paps shutting it down, is it ever in doubt?) Jax was exausted after the stress and passed out........
