One day Baboo Bear was playing a game of 'Hide and Go Tag You're It!!!' with his friend Little Bunny Laces. 1...2...3...... Baboo Bear counted as Little Bunny Laces hopped around the great Heely Tree and ducked into the hole at it's base... "He's KNOT going to find me now" she SNEAKERED. "8...9...10 Ready or not here i come" and Baboo Bear was off to find Little Bunny Laces. Having peaked, just a bit, as Baboo Bear is known to do he edged his way right around the Heely Tree and reached into the hole and pulled Little Bunny Laces out by her ears....

Be Our Guest!
Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome Shorty to Jacksonville. And now we invite him to relax, pull up a chair and chill as the Evans' proudly presents - his vacation! Be our guest! Be our guest! 
Put our service to the test... (man, tell ya what.. Shorty sure didn't hesitate on that offer.. I'm spent...) Month after month of anticipation Shorty 'FINALLY' arrived on the East Coast. Yes Shorty.. you were actually here. After catching up on the happenings of our lives in less time then it took to drive home from the airport (boy we sure have some excitement filled lives I tell ya) the true enjoyment of having my BFF and Xaine's Bestest Godfather on the East Coast began. Showing Shorty just a few of the things Northern Florida has to offer, we filled our warm/sunny days with Town Center Shopping, St. Augustine Castillo de San Marcos single Cannon salutes, strolls along St. George street sampling the best Beer and Onion Rings around (Spotted D**K for Desert another time Buddy?), MOSH (Museum 
of Science and History) exploration, and of course.. The BEACH... (so when you moving here?). As the sky darkened and Orion's belt came into view each night we let no time go to waste. We filled our bellies with a variety of cuisine; Steak/Chicken/Shrimp Kabobs, Grilled Salmon, Crab Shack specialties and Jacksonville's finest SUSHI (How is everything? How is everything? How is everything?) , a 'FEW' libations (bottles of Fetzer Gewurztraminer, Disaronno Amaretto sours...), seeing more 'WatchMen' then ever expected/desired (cover those eyes) and plenty o
f LAUGHS. A very relaxing 5 days and 5 nights sure flew by in a flash. Amazing how after such a long standing friendship we are still able to create so many NEW memories in such a short time. Crank up that Lil Kim Shorty.. and until we see one another again (or you move to JAX).... Remember there is ALWAYS room for you here....................Oh, Look.... an ATM .......... We Love ya Uncle Shorty....!!!!!!

FEAR in February
‘Cupid’ - Wikipedia defines that in Roman mythology he is the God of erotic love (come on now, keep it clean) and beauty…………. (Oh, sorry, got distracted by my handsome reflection in the monitor). He is frequently shown shooting his bow to inspire romantic love, often as an icon of Valentine’s Day. Now that we have the politically correct statement of bull honky presented, I offer you this to ponder over.
Ry defines ‘Cupid’ that in the American present, he is the icon of recession and economic struggles. I mean think about it. Each February he promotes a purchasing frenzy in the attempt to attain that one special gift showing love and devotion through fear. YES FEAR… can any of you honestly say that happening upon a little person clad in Paper Mache wings and pointing a bow/arrow at you wouldn’t make you need the same brand of diaper that he is sporting?
Ok, Ok… cynical blogging aside… We could all use more days like February 14th where we just let those around us know how much we care. And tell you what; having such a handsome and charismatic boy as I do I wasn’t one bit surprised that his Valentine Bag was j
am packed with “Will you Be Mine’s?” and Conversation Hearts. Being the 5 year old boy that he is (still holding on the absolute truth that girls have cooties) he could have cared less about the handmade Valentine from Isabella …. OOOOOooooOO H. (tell you what, when that day does come and Xaine no longer feels girls have cooties I’m sure he will be ever so happy silently making honey at a secluded Monastery)
Here's wishing you all the greatest of love…. And if you see Cupid… RUUUUUUUnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

'Deputy Orange' Belt
The past three months have sure flown by and once more we find ourselves at Pak’s Karate Academy. Tonight (February 2nd) my little man will be te
sting for advancement to his ‘Deputy Orange’ belt (Orange belt with a center White stripe)… Yelling ‘Yes Sir!!!’ he takes his place among his peers to demonstrate his ever advancing techniques around the required 3 One Step moves. Upon completion of the One Step portion of the testing a new element has been added to promote his continued advancement ‘Sparing’… ‘See-Jak, Go!’ instructs Mister Devlin and the Blocking, Punching and Kicking begins (A no contact demo… but still an amazing sight to see).
Hope the last video didn’t leave you to ‘BOARD’ cause if you hadn’t guessed it is time for Xaine to break his 2nd ‘BOARD'. A few practice kicks to Mister Devlin’s hand, a vocal ‘KIAI’, and the power of his kick thrusts his heel through the board with a prominent snap. (Um… I should really consider taking Karate before he tries that kick on his Dadoo)
Boards divided , bows and high fives given it’s time for Master Nathan and Master Johnson to deliberate and present new belts to those whom will be progressing in rank… hearing his name Xaine, with all the confidence of a 5 year old, struts forward and with arms out to his sides proudly smiles as his new belt is securely fashioned around his waist.

His 'Big' Cardboard Box
One little Baboo jump’n on da bed, him jumped off and……
landed in a BIG Cardboard Box... 
Bet those monkeys in the stories wished they had this 3x3x3 'BIG' cardboard box with thousands of styrofoam peanuts to keep them from breaking their heads.
