Sweet Serenade

I cooked dinner tonight, chicken with rice and carrots for the veggie.  It's long been known to be one of Zach's favorites... and a meal that Lainey despises.

Our dinner time serenade...
Daddy: Lainey, you need to come to the table or spend the evening in your room.

After not coming to the table, I carried Lainey to her room.

Lainey: (shrieking, crying, banging on her door) You hate me and never wanted me in the family.  AND I HATE YOU TOO.

As much as I appreciate Lainey being the night's entertainment, I'd rather listen to a Mariachi band during dinner.

AAYBA World Series

The Rattlers were the hometown team at the AAYBA World Series during the last week of June.  The week started with opening ceremonies on Saturday where the players traded pins, participated in skills competitions, and carried the team banner and threw out Mardi Gras beads in the parade of teams.  The fun stuff - playing baseball - began on Sunday.

Our team battled through the week and landed themselves into the Platinum bracket.  We wrapped up the week with a record of 4-2-1, winning the last game to earn a third place finish out of 22 teams.  Way to go, Rattlers!!
The AAYBA World Series was the last tournament of the season.  Our final season record was 25-14-2!!  This exceeded our expectations and gave the boys (and parents) plenty to be proud of.
