PJ's Birthday with Ichiro

I'm not much of a sports fan to be honest with you. I like going to games if there are people going with me but it's a social thing not a sports thing. I'm always embarrassed and feel a bit like a wuss when I'm around the guy's discussing sports. When we get together with Lauren, Eric and PJ it's funny because Eric is as obsessed with baseball as I am with photography so Lauren and Kristy can relate with their husbands being obsessed.

PJ is just as obsessed with baseball as his dad. He loves the Red Sox and knows all of the major players and what teams they're on. He can tell you specifics about different games and he's a fierce ball player. It was only fitting that he have his birthday party at Safeco field.

Happy 7th PJ!

Our tour guide "Uncle Bobby" (who loved to refer to himself in third person) had a contest to see if the kids could find Icharo's seat. As soon as they got out of the dugout they spotted someone running stairs in the empty dark stadium and to everyone's surprise it was Icharo (the Mariners all star) which made everyone's day. The 6 & 7 year old kids soon decided to follow his example and show him he had nothing on them and raced up and down the stairs. Check the Slideshow to see. This one's a little slower to load.



Eric made this sweet cake of Fenway Park. I don't know many dads that would make their kid's birthday cake (with fondant!)
