Tennis, tennis, tennis.....

I am so sore! This weekend was super busy! After joking about the rain on Friday, the sun came out and I played tennis. I played doubles with Amy against Jeritta and Yvette. They are a very good doubles team and Amy and I had never played together so I was expecting to lose but we played very well together and won! But the rest of the tournament didn't go so well... I guess we finished 3rd. And I lost in the finals of singles. It was soooo windy and I do not play well in adverse conditions. Oh, well. I got some thermometer thing to hang on our back deck for finishing 2nd in singles.

I found out some big tennis news this weekend. There are 3 awesome players who now want to play on our mixed team. The problem is... we already have a full team. But the other 2 teams we played against last year have somewhat disbanded so it is a pretty sure thing that we will go to state. So I am going to send out an email today or tomorrow getting commitments for state.... that way I don't really have to tell people no or kick them off the team out right.

Also, I signed up for the 4.5 team this weekend (a little over half way through the season). I think they have 4 or 5 matches left and I need to play in 2 to be qualified for state. They needed another singles player to take to state so I signed up and now will definitely be going to state. That makes me happy. I was kinda bummed that our team didn't make it to state (note... there is still a very slim chance that my 4.0 team will qualify for state but it is highly unlikely).

Wow! A lot of tennis stuff going on this weekend, huh?

On top of that, we got to hang out with the Ratleys 2 nights this weekend! Friday night we went out to Olivias and Masons to celebrate Troy's graduation. There was a some drama with another couple that night but the 4 of us had a lot of fun despite it. Although Lucas and I got out of there just before closing... I think Chris and Aida ended up playing chauffeur until 3:30 or 4. Sorry!

Saturday night Chris, Aida, and Rocky came over. Aida has worked the past 3 or 4 weekends so 2 nights in a row is very rare and was very fun! They came over and played Phase 10 and Rafa and Rocky played together. We have some cute pictures of that!

Speaking of pictures, I thought I would update with a few pictures of our little Rafa!


Here is a picture of Rafa and Rocky playing:


They were tired from playing so Rocky shared his bed with Rafa while the grown ups played cards:



Awww! Here is Rafa's first bath!


Just like his mom! Rafa and his American Express!


This one is too cute not to post!
