A good laugh!

Monday night Tony was grabbing his computer to skype with his parents and he told J.R. to go over to his computer. J.R. responded, "I have to make this goal first, okay boss?" We all busted out laughing... Tony calls me boss.. whenever I ask Tony to do something he typically responds, "Okay boss!"

Last night Todd and Kevin were over and they played with J.R. for a little while. I took J.R. upstairs for our nightly Sponge Bob while Todd and Kevin were still at our house. After a few minutes of Sponge Bob J.R. asked, "Did Todd leave?" I responded, "maybe". J.R. asked, "Did he leave in his Porsche car?" I told him no so then J.R. asked, "Did he leave in his Ferrari?" I died laughing...... this is Tony's son!

J.R.'s first baseball game!

 So we had J.R.'s first t-ball game this weekend. It was such good comedy watching 3 and 4 year olds try to play baseball. We had a blast! J.R. is the youngest on his team, he'll be 3 in 3 months. He did really well, he hit the ball pretty far and played first base. He typically doesn't like to field and only likes to bat (just like his daddy and mommy) but during the game he LOVED playing first base. We think he liked the fact everyone had to throw the ball to him then he got to throw the ball to home. I got some great videos! We have now gone from practice twice a week to only having a game every Saturday. I LOVED his uniform, it was SO adorable seeing my little guy's name on the back of his uniform. I'm sure this is first of many uniforms we buy!

Daddy getting J.R. ready putting on his baseball socks!

This made me smile!

Playing catch with his teammates.

This was adorable. The coach had them line up and spread their legs against the fence!



Beautiful sunny day!

We had a fun weekend. J.R. wore his current favorite monkey pj's to bed Saturday night and part of the day Sunday. I ran errands Sunday afternoon and when I got home Daddy and Uncle Scott finally changed my little guy into an outfit. Here's some pictures of J.R. in his fav pj's with his tummy showing!

Here's J.R. at mommy's work, well kind of, I work out of my home office but we just installed some furniture at the VA clinic in NW Vegas and had to stop by while our guys were working late Friday night. This is the main feature item in the clinic, the bubble machine,J.R. was fascinated as were we all.. this thing was so amazing!

I know this blog is about J.R. but I have to post something about the best buy I have ever made in my life! Here are some shoes that I purchased during a silent auction on Thursday night. These are designer Lanvin shoes that I stole for $75.00. I'm still shocked I was the highest bidder and still smiling.. guess this means I have to buy the "perfect' outfit!

I'm giggling to myself right now looking at this picture! This is J.R. this morning before he went to school. Yes, he was emphatic about wearing this to school. Not exactly what I would pick but hey we have to pick our battles right? He wore his hockey shirt, hockey pants and hockey socks... all purchased by Nana and Papa in Chicago!





Scared of the dark!

We had a full day and didn't get J.R. down for his nap until 3pm so we woke him up at 6pm and headed to the batting cages which is across town. By the time we got there it was 7pm and dark. The past few months J.R. has not liked the dark. If it's dark you have to hold him or at the very least hold his hand. He falls asleep with his light on in his bedroom and we have to turn it off later in the night. It didn't occur to us that J.R. would have an issue batting in the dark.. there's lights.. right... well it was a no go! He wouldn't even get in the batters box! Tony and I batted but J.R. watched. We won' t try that again.. at night anyway.

We ran errands today, J.R., Sandi and myself. J.R. was adorable! I went into a shoe store to try on shoes and J.R. helped me like I always help him. He would grab the shoe and hold it on the ground and put my foot in the shoe. Here's a picture.

Here's a picture of J.R. hugging Sandi from behind. Sandi watched J.R. for us last night. We had a wedding to go to. Here's a picture of us before we left the house. I realize with all this J.R. mania, I rarely take pictures of Tony and myself. The tux Tony is wearing was the same Gucci tux he wore at our wedding. I must say, he still looks handsome!

Lastly, here's a picture of J.R. in his favorite place, our bedroom watching Sponge Bob before he goes to bed. By the way, J.R. can now show you one, two or three fingers when he's trying to negotiate how many episodes he gets to watch!
