Chuck E Cheese & Luke Bryan - 211/365

Today, Jim's mom had Jillian and Evan, so we were going to meet them at Chuck E Cheese for a little bit, so the kids could play. 

Jim's mom got them all some tokens and they had a blast running around and playing the games. They loved the little clock ride and the climbing tower. We did get them to sit for one of the drawing pictures. It was so cute!

We had a little lunch, then played a little bit more. It was a fun morning. 

This evening, Nana and I were off to Pittsburgh to see Luke Bryan. We were SO EXCITED. 

We got a good Parking spot and headed in. We were shocked when we saw our seats. They were RIGHT ON THE CATWALK. We were howling. He was right there the whole time singing away and doing his little dance. LOL! We loved it!

He puts on an awesome show. You are just entertained the whole time. He's got an awesome personality, too!

While we were there, Reagan and Jim played around the house. She's been trying to perfect her hula hooping, so she's been practicing that! LOL!

Great day for everyone!

Milana Swim Party, Girls Night - 210/365

Today was Milana's actual birthday, so we decided to head over to Tippy and have a little swim party for her.
Nana, Reagan and I, Rachel and the kids all headed over at 11. Tiffany Smith and her sister Melanie happened to be there, too. It was great! The kids had a ball swimming in the big pool and splashing around in the baby pool. 

We had a little lunch, then the kids favorite, ice cream! Milana was double-fisting ice cream at one point. It was so cute! 

We had a really nice day. 

This evening, Jim and Reagan were going to take Brinkley for a walk and play outside. 

I was heading up to Inner Circle to visit with Deanna, Marissa and Stephanie at Inner Circle!

We had lots of fun girl talk. Love those ladies, 

Swimmers!

Birthday Girl!

Me and my pals.

Girls night!

Tippy Swim Day - 209/365

Today was Reagan's play day with Nana. I dropped her off on my way to spin class bright and early.
Nana was getting ready to water her flowers, so Reagan was excited to help her with that. She likes to fill up all the buckets for her!
Later this afternoon, since it was going to be 90, they decided to head over to Tippy for a swim. They had the whole pool to themselves. They swam, had lunch, then swam some more.
They had a really fun day together!

Cruise Club -208/365

Today Nana took Reagan to gymnastics again for me. She loves taking her and it gives me time to get some stuff done. 

Reagan was so happy today because they did rings. They hadn't done them in quite awhile, so it made her whole day.

This afternoon, we hit up the mall to check out the new Gymboree. We got excited walking through Dillard's on the way there, because they had a big Paris display. That got us so excited for our trip next Spring. We can't wait. 

This evening, we were having our Cruise Club meeting. We were going to have dinner at Inner Circle. Reagan took a special liking to Matt. She made him coloring and she talked with him all night. 

On the way home, she kept yelling "Uncle Matt" in the car. It was the cutest thing. We had a great Cruise Club.

Hole & Slip and Slide - 207/365

We have a huge hole in the wall thanks to a plumbing issue in our shower. 

We had no water pressure for a couple weeks, so we finally called out the plumber. We had been showering in Reagan's room which was a big pain in the butt. 

Unfortunately the valve in the shower had gone bad and they only way they could access it was to go through the wall. They had to pull some tile off the wall, which they broke. UGH. 

Now we have a huge hole in the wall and broken tile. At least the water pressure is fixed. 

This afternoon, I wanted to run out to Sam's Club to pick up the slip and slide that Ron and Rachel have for the kids. It was such a hit at Milana's party. Reagan really loved it. 

Luckily they had one, we got it home and set up. She spent the whole evening going on that thing. It was worth the $40 bucks just for that night!

We made a stop at Giant Eagle before we got home this afternoon, and Reagan commented about the rollers at the self check out lane. She said "Mom look! These look like the rollers at Animal Kingdom that keep the animals in their own area." That's our girl. Everything goes back to Disney! It was so cute!

Bark at the Park - 206/365

Tonight was going to be one of our favorite nights. It was dog night at the Scrappers!

We just love taking Brinkley to the game. Ron and Rachel were going to bring the kids, but Ron came down with posion ivy from all the party preps. 

Raymond and Jennifer were coming out with Dexter, so that's always fun! Greg and Nikki came out for a bit, too! It was fun! 

When we got there, we tried to go to our regular seats, but a man said we couldn't sit there with Brinkley and that we had to sit in the bleachers with him. We said we had sat down in the corner for the past three years. After a little bit of going back and forth, he finally said we could sit where we normally do. Thank goodness. 

Reagan and I were able to go down on the field for the pet parade. We got to take Brinkley on a walk around the whole field. It was so fun. Reagn was in her glory. 

Brinkley was enjoying all the snacks! He had a whole hotdog, lots of chips, dog biscuits and about five bowls of water. He was a HOG!

Dexter was so good, he basically just layed under Jennifer's chair. He's a good little boy!

After the game, Reagan got to run the bases again. She's become quite fond of doing that!

We had another fun night at Bark at the Park.

Movie & Milana is 2 - 205/365

This afternoon, Jim and his mom were going to head out to Akron to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie. They were a little bummed because it was a limited release, so that's why they had to go all the way up there.

They said once they got there, it was neat to see the theater. They had a huge menu and lots of drink options. Nikki got some mini corn dogs. Jim just stuck with his main dining option at the theater, popcorn. 

They enjoyed the movie and the drive after, so they could chat about the movie. 

This afternoon was Milana's second birthday party. They were having it at the house which was nice for us. 

Rachel was having "Hey Kid" come to play since Milana loves dancing. They were so good! The kids were interested for awhile, but then got into swimming, I think the adults had more fun with them than any of the kids. It was a hoot. 

Rachel wanted to try to get a selfie with the band, in which we succeeded. It came out awesome with the selfie stick! What a hoot. Even the band wanted a copy!

For food, they had Roxbury Pizza come out. It was DELICIOUS!!! I think our favorite was the taco pizza! YUM! 

After, the kids just had a blast running around and swimming. The girls played on the swing set. Brooklyn, Brennley's older sister had them all on the bench swing and was telling them stories. They loved it. It was a GREAT party. 

We were so happy to be there for Milana's special day

Rascal Flatts and Gymnastics - 204/365

Today Nana took Reagan to gymnastics for me, so I could get a few things done. That was a huge help!

She is getting so good at her obsticals. She just cruises over the ladder these days and loves hanging on the ropes. She also does REALLY good at the beam these days, too. It's fun to watch her progress. 

This evening, Nana and I were heading out to see Rascal Flatts at First Niagara. 

They were REALLY good this year. They didn't do the long slow part that they have in past years. It was all high energy. The only thing we missed was them having a catwalk. It was just the main stage, so we were a little farther back than we usally are. We really enjoyed the show though. 

While we were there, Jim and Reagan took Brinkley for a nice long walk at Austintown Park. Brinkley loves going through those trails back there. Reagan wasn't quite thrilled at the idea and gave Jim a bit of trouble, mostly beacuse she wanted to walk Brinkley, but he likes to roam free back there. She did cheer up eventually though. They ended up having fun. 

Climbing the ladder!

Play-Doh Night - 203/365

This evening Rachel was coming over with the kids. We hadn't been able to have too many porch parties this year, so we had a modified one this evening. Ron was at home doing some yard chores, so Rachel came down with the kids. It was nice to have a little girl talk.

The kids played on the playset for awhile.

I had brought the play-doh out for something different for them to do. They LOVED it. They did that for quite awhile. It was adorable. 

They had a blast!

Nana Day & Date Night - 202/365

Today was Reagan's day at Nana's!

Today they spent a lot of time playing colorforms. Nana has a big set that is just shapes, so they love to try to make up scenes. They have a good time with them. 

They also played a few board games. Reagan is really enjoying Shelby's Snack Shack where you have to feed the pugs. It's a hoot. 

Since Reagan was over there, Jim and I were going to take advantage and slip out for a movie night. I had been really wanting to see Aloha, despite the bad reviews. It was playing at the dollar theater. I hadn't been there in AGES! It was really nice though. They put a lot of work into it.

We both thought the movie was good and really enjoyed it. We love Bradley Cooper and Rachel McAdams, so how could you not like it!?

After the movie, we headed over to Outback for a little dinner. Yum! We had blooming onion and all!

We were happy with our little date night.
