Royals Game

We went to the K on Sunday to watch the Royals play the White Sox.  First, we had a tailgate in the parking lot.  Then, we went to our seats and managed to sit in the heat for about 5 innings.  The seats were great...right behind home plate about 10 rows up.  We went back to the Diamond Club for a little snack (and air conditioning) and then went back out to watch more of the game.  The boys did great and had a fun time.  Best of all, the Royals won!

Room Update

Matty received some nice new items to update his bedroom!  My Mom made him a new baseball blanket, baseball curtains, and a new 'M' for his wall.

8th Birthday!

Matty turned 8 years old today!  I can't believe how fast the past 8 years have flown by.  The boys went to a doctor's appointment with me this morning, and we walked right past the NICU building (top floor).  Matty stayed there for 108 days, and now he is a big 8-year old!

First Baseball Game

Matty had his first game of the season last night.  It's a tough transition year, as the boys now have to hit off of a fast pitching machine.

Ferris Wheel Fun

Sisel Family

I just received a family photo from my Grandpa Frank's birthday party last week.  The only family members missing were Jeremy, Ashlei and Charles as they were all out of town.  It's pretty neat that family members came from both coasts to celebrate such a milestone birthday!

First Baseball Game

Zach had his first game this morning.  He did great!  He got 3 hits and hustled after the ball while playing in the infield.

Last Day of 1st Grade

Matty had his last day of school yesterday.  Zach and I went to his classroom on Thursday to bring gifts and treats for his teacher, as she is retiring this year.  After school was out, the boys were invited to a party, where they had fun with silly string, bubbles, and summer treats!

Last Day of Preschool

Zach had his last day of school on Thursday.  He is really excited to go to kindergarten next year, which will be at the same school as Matty!

May Crowning

I taught Matty's 1st grade religious ed class this year, and Zach always came along as my 'helper'.  We had our last class a couple of weeks ago, and celebrated a May crowning mass.  Here is a picture of the Blessed Mother after all of the kids offered their flowers.

Preschool Graduation

Zach had his preschool graduation this morning (just a few days early).  He received a diploma and his end of year binder.  We finished out the celebration with an indoor picnic, since it was raining outside!

Look how much he has grown since the 1st day!

90th Birthday

We celebrated my grandpa Frank's 90th birthday on Saturday afternoon.  It was nice to see my cousins, as they traveled in from all over the country for the occasion.

Early Celebration

Matty celebrated his birthday at school yesterday a couple of weeks early.  He brought cupcakes and got to wear a special hat all day!

Cheese!

Great School Note

Bye Barley's

We ate at our favorite restaurant, Barley's last night before they closed for business.  We always enjoyed eating there!  Guess we need to find a new favorite food spot.

Go Royals

Zach's baseball team will be wearing Royals hats with their uniforms this season!

Biscuit

Zach had the class 'pet' at home this week, and we took pictures for the journal book.

KC Zoo

Matty's 1st grade went on a field trip to the zoo on Thursday.  I volunteered to go, and Zach was lucky enough to play hooky from his school so that he could go too!  We had to walk a lot and didn't see very many animals, but the kids had a great time.

The penguins were a hit.
