Closing Day 2014

In Classic Clark fashion we ended the Royals home season with a bang!

Tommy started the weekend with a guys night out in the Diamond Club with a co-worker - it sure is nice when you work at a place that has the same name as the team's stadium. The boys in blue played terrible that night. 

Saturday Tommy and Lyla went to the afternoon game. It was a frustrating game due to a challenged call on Salvador Perez's missed tag up at Third and Ned Yost's poor decision in putting Raul Ibanez in to pinch hit at the bottom of the ninth.

But closing day, closing day was fun for all! We tailgated with friends and watched a winning game, finally. Chloe was even a great sport and took Asa around the bases for the Fun Run!

Steven is Seven

My oldest is Seven and I am not lamenting him growing older ... It always seems like moms get sappy around their children's birthdays because they don't want them to grow older. I feel the opposite. I love the person Steven is growing up to be and I can't wait to see what he does this year!

For his birthday we went to the Royals game. We stayed out much too late but he was having too much fun to make him leave. Then on Saturday he got to have two friends over to go to Power Play and sleepover. Despite not going to school together anymore, Steven and Kaden don't skip a beat when they get together. And Rhys fit in pretty good, too!

We "tailgated" in the parking lot with Minsky's Pizza and cupcakes!

Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast rather than a birthday cake!

Why couldn't I have invented Pokemon? For almost 20 years these silly cards have captured the attention of young boys. I'd be rich!
