my SuPeRsTaR brother

My little brother Jaxon is currently playing ball in the Cal Ripken Jr. World Series in Maryland. How cool is that? Here's the link if any family or friends are interested in listening to any of the games:

The championship games will be televised (not totally sure yet which station). Hopefully they play in those games!!!
A few facts:
- first time the Spud State has been represented at the Cal Ripken Jr. World Series
- International teams:

- U.S. teams:
Charles County, Maryland - Baxter, Minnesota - Kenner, Louisiana

Bakersfield, California - Jupiter, Florida - Idaho Falls, Idaho - Lexington, Kentucky
- Jaxon is the only Shelley boy on the team...the rest are IF boys
-They've won their 1st game and are playing their 2nd right now
-Despite what Austin tells you, Jax gets his mad ball skills from his favorite sibling...Hayley.
GOOD LUCK, JAX!!!

Ode to Jaxon, he is the greatest sibling ever. And if it weren't for me striking him out and making him tough, he'd never be able to acheive such greatness. Where were you during all those games? Exactly, on the bench. Hate to break it to you but Thor for life!
