Youth Soccer






Justyn, Jaymeson, Julia and Julian finished season I soccer tonight. Wow, I am not sure if it was more of a challenge for the parents or the players but let's just say Julian doesn't lick the entire glass with his tongue anymore and his arms are 2 inches longer from being pulled by his mother up and down the field; Julia has gone from looking pretty and waving at her family through the window to scoring her first goal tonight; Jaymeson who didn't really want to be on the field last year really knows the game and isn't afraid to mix it up, although he is usually the one that hits the ground; and Justyn seems to like goal keeping rather than running up & down the field and has actually managed to stop at least one out of ten fired at him!!!! As for the parents: Amy, Jess and Patsy deserve a medal!!!! Nice job guys - what ever happen to Uncle Jared???

Happy New Year

Wishing you all a healthy and happy new year! It is great to be part of 2008 and to those that made Nana's birthday special please know that she is still talking about it. Uncle wonderful did way too much from a little cake to a meal......do you think Jon knows that there is no car in the will?

A HOT Birthday for Julian








Only the son of two teachers can have a very special birthday party consisting of a tour of the Fire Station and then have their child burn his fingers on the candles of his fire truck cake!!! Ouch, see his face in the picture. Good God didn't Jake remember to tell him not to play with fire!!! Seriously, after a hectic Christmas the tour of the Fire Station was very worth while and I would recommend it to anyone. Jake the Fireman and his buddies are great. The adults had just as much fun as the kids. Then it was home to Jay & Amy's for snacks, ice cream and cake. All had a good time and the kids ..... well with 101 toys in the house, who wouldn't have a good time.

IHC Alumni Hockey Game 2007





Age proved better than youth in the annual IHC Alumni Hockey Game held at the Watertown Municipal Arena on this past Friday evening. Anthony proved he still has some skill but who wouldn't be in shape chasing those twins around!!! Anyone who graduated more than 5 years ago played some youthful whipper snappers, one of their players plays for an elite prep school and may get a tryout for the NHL. However, even though the elders squandered their lead by letting the other team catch up they pulled it off in the end with the shoot out. Way to go #7, Anthony!!!!

Snow Fun














Dunc and his friends decided to take in the first snow storm of the season a few weeks ago. It was a day packed with sleding, hot cocoa and some of Maimie's delicious cookies. Even his Jensey got in on the action and didn't seem to mind the weather.




In case some of you were wondering, yes, now that the holidays are over, I have some catching up to do. Also, beware, Grama delivered a giant bag of pics that she wants to see posted. As they get scanned, they will appear.

Thanks for the new HD TV Mom...Got the reciept?

Thanks for the new TV... Let me know where you got it, I would like to trade mine in for a TV that isn't so vivid and loud. Make sure you catch the news report :)

Watertown Arena gets new Zamboni Driver for Alumni Game

"Dunk" St. Croix seems to be taking after his great grandfather Mylo by considering the fine art of Zamboni Driving. Like the song says: "I want to drive the Zamboni....". I think Dunk should make his debut tonight at the IHC Alumni Game at 9:00 p.m. Come on down if you want and support Uncle Tone-dog who will be playing. We will have to work on getting Jess out there next year!!! Good luck to all but don't expect to see Dunk on the Zamboni as the Union won't allow it and we all know Big Papa will support the Union!!!

January Dates to Remember

Calling all the troops
Here is the latest scoop:
Only one birthday to call out.
SO HERE I WILL SHOUT:
Send Nana a card, that'll be dandy.
Or perhaps buy her some cotton candy.
But please ..... help make her day.
For at the age of 97 I must say,
She deserves a little attention.
January 3rd did I mention?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!!!

January 8th Gabby (aka Paris) will celebrate her B'day

January 23rd Jenny & Jon will celebrate their Anniversary

Help them celebrate their days in 2008!!!!!


A Family Christmas









The photo department report,
shows Christmas pictures 2007 are short.
The photographer must have been sick,
for not many times did his camera click.
So you will have to check and see
if you took any pictures from the family tree.
Confusing it all may have been for awhile,
but by days end there were many a smile.
Thanks for sharing Christmas 2007 with us.
To those that didn't catch the bus...
we all missed you most dearly.
Perhaps someday surely???
A very happy & healthy 2008.
Don't forget our family reunion date!

Name recognition in Albany

Jo Ann and I were doing some last minute shopping in Borders in Albany while we were there for a meeting yesterday. The girl who checked us out asked if we were related to the Mr. St. Croix that taught math in Syracuse. We said yes and she said to tell him he would be happy to know that her math skills payed off as she is a cashier. I forget the name but she said she had him ages ago like 10 years!!!! Thought you all might appreciate the story!!!

Merry Christmas From Big Papa and Big Grama





Papa and Grama would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas with these blasts from the past. No need for my sarcastic comments, these pics are great. I now know where my dad was coming from when he made us sit through endless hours of torture and costing him thousands of dollars worth of film. Thankfully he was instilled with the great attributes and values of his parents which I hopefully will continue with my mini clan. Thank you Big Papa and Big Grama(oh, I got my tumor removed and graduated, now what?), Mom and Dad. Love you guys and keep the memories coming. Oh, Papa, if you have anything else you would like to post on the blog, you should know better than to ask any of your sons. Jeano doesn't call me your boy Blue for nothing.

New Year's Resolution Challenge!

This BLOG was a wonderful idea that Jayson came up with as way to keep the FAMILY in touch. I know Mom and Dad really enjoy it, especially after Dad asked me if I posted his birthday pictures less than 4 hours after the event!!! However, I feel that no one else is making any attempts to stay in touch. If it is just going to be me posting some wonderful family moments that I have the luxury of attending then I don't see much point in me wasting my time. Therefore, I am challenging all of you but especially my BROS to post something, anything, or just a comment on the FAMILY BLOG. There is not one of us any busier than the other it is just a matter of what your priorities are! It took me less than 2 minutes to post this comment. If you can't post just e-mail to one of us and we would be glad to post it for you. Take up my challenge and please post, you may find out that you enjoy it! What better legacy can one leave but the knowledge of his heritage and stories about his family!!!! Merry Christmas and I hope your New Year's Resolution includes your family!!! Any comments or suggestions? Love you all, Jay.
