John Atalig Mitchell



This is John better known as John John. He is soon to be 8 yrs old. (August 28). When he was a baby we called him Baby John, that way we won't confuse him with his Dad....John. However, as he started getting older...Baby John was too babyish and my mom's common-law husband (very common in the Islands) named...John (how'd you guess?) started calling him John John. That is also very common in the islands to call little John's .... John John, instead of Johnny boy or what have you. So until this day... that is what he is called.

So about him... well he LOVES baseball. He is in the All- Star team and I know his Uncle Joe is going to be so proud of him (he is the baseball fanatic Uncle who loves the Dodgers - which is the team John John plays for - in the Pony League). John John plays pitcher and at times first base. However he is thinking that for the All Star team they are going to put him as an outfielder because the boys hit far and John John is fast and throws far. So we'll see. The games start in July.

And other than baseball...of course, VIDEO GAMES, and Webkinz. Have you ever heard of them? They are pets that they groom online. The only problem is you have to buy these pets at retail stores before getting access to play online. Very smart marketing tool. The only problem is they sell these pets at "girly" places. Like "Sweet and Sassy" salon for little girls and "Justice" a clothing store for girls. So when we went to get one, John John made me go into the salon and scope the area to make sure there were no girls in there. Luckily, there wasn't so I signaled him to quickly come in and make his purchase. Yes, he's all boy.

That's so funny about the Webkinz! I hope his all-star games go well next month.

You can get webkinz at the hallmark store too. A word of advice, don't start playing, you'll become addicted and play more than your kids:)
