The boy is back on the mound and other happenings over the last week

J made it back on the mound last week and was as good as ever.

The Redbirds home opener was Friday night and we finally got to see the new video scoreboard that has been the talk of the town for a few months now, it is the biggest one in minor league baseball.

Dave Brown delivered the game ball via the Channel 5 chopper.

Rocky found some people not paying attention to the game and he didn't like it!

Saturday was full of J's baseball and just chilling at the house that night in preparation for Sunday. I had my video assessment for the Lieutenant's promotions and it lasted all day. I was stressed beyond belief but so glad to have it over with. Everything about the promotions are out of my hands now and I just pray that the sheriff promotes DESERVING candidates!

We cooked out some of the meat we brought back from Louisiana and it was so damn good. We picked up a cream cheese and jalapeno stuffed Cajun pork loin and about died when we tasted how good it was. Unfortunately, we only brought one home since we were buying from a new meat market and not sure if it was going to be any good. I can promise you that will be the last time we make that mistake!

Monday night, Kennon went to a business dinner/fundraiser that Matt puts on every year so that left J and I on our own after the baseball game so we did what we do very well.....we had dessert for dinner and prank called people on J's new phone while we stuffed our faces.
The rest of the week has been laid back! We didn't have any baseball last night or Tuesday night so we were able to relax with no schedules and even got to build a fire and have a few cocktails in the backyard last night :)
