Laura's 30th Birthday - 233/365

Today we were off to Laura's 30th birthday party!

It was going to be a surprise and Matt was sure she didn't have an idea. 

Sharon took her shopping and they showed up a little after two. She really was surprised! It was so cute. 

Matt had food, DJ and some corn-hole. They kids loved digging in the coolers for ice and dancing. They had a blast. 

It was a great afternoon celebrating a great girl!

Surprise!

Make a wish!

Garland Party & Golf - 213/365

Today Reagan and I were heading to a birthday party. 

Amy invited us to Nate and Carina's fifth birthday party. I can't believe they are five. Time sure is flying. 

They were having a circus themed party. Amy planned little carnival games and they rented a snow cone and cotton candy machine. The kids were loving it! They had such a blast.

Reagan was a bit shy at first, but warmed up after her sugar rush set in.
When it was time to eat, Reagan was thrilled because they were having her new favorite foods, hot dogs. She's loving them! 

We had a really nice afternoon at the party. 

While we were at the party Jim was off to play golf with the guys. 

They went out to Tamer Wind to play today! The weather was good for a change and they all hit the ball pretty well. They had a nice time.

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

Karen Party, Greg BBQ - 198/365

We had double events today! 

First, we were hitting up our buddy Karen's 50th birthday party! It was at V2 downtown and it was a surprise. Boy was she surprised! Shocked was more like it. It was cute!

We got to visit with her a bit. They had some yummy appetizer stuff and scrumptious cupcakes! 

We had a really nice time!

This afternoon, we were heading over to Jim's parents for Greg's annual BBQ. It was a hot one this year. Up in the upper 80's and lower 90's. That couldn't stop our fun though.

He always does a nice job with it. It's so nice to visit with everyone, too. 

He does steaks and chicken on the grill with the help of Frank and Sean. Everything is always so yummy. Then everyone else will bring a side. It works out great. 

They got a bounce house for the kids, and Sean and Barb said that they could go swimming in their pool. The kids had a blast running all over the place. They sure got tired out. 

The girls at one point were in the bathroom, all three were looking in the mirror checking out the lip gloss they put on from Ally's purse! It was the CUTEST thing. Love them!

It was a great day spent with friends and family. 

Happy 50th, Karen!

Gotta love Karen!

Happy Birthday Jim - 186/365

Today is was Jimmy's Birthday! He was turning 38.

Reagan wanted to have a Star Wars birthday party for him, since "that is his favorite movie." We went to the store and got some center pieces, darth vader balloon, Dairy Queen ice cream cupcakes and we made daddy's favorite dinner...meat candy! He was so happy with his little birthday party!

It was funny because we had some trick candles for him to blow out. He would blow them out, then they kept lighting up. He was laughing. 

We just hung around the house tonight and played. It was a really nice birthday for Jimmy!

Happy Birthday, Jim!

Garden Basket & Brennley Birthday - 155/365

Today was going to be a busy day! We're leaving for Disney tomorrow, so it was prepare and pack day.

I started today with putting together the garden basket for Reagan's T-ball team. Each team was asked to donate a basket for the Canfield Baseball Club's anniversary. We chose a garden theme and everyone did great with their donations. It came out fabulous. Nana was nice enough to run it out to the club for us this evening.

This evening, we headed out to Brennley's fourth birthday at Boardman Park. It was a Rapunzel theme and all the girls dressed up in their princess stuff. It was so cute. Nicole had everything decorated just perfectly. She made this amazing donut tower herself. It was amazing! There was even a visit from Rapunzel the kids were thrilled.

One of the kids favorite parts were banging sticks against the tree. It was quite funny. Rapunzel and activities galore and banging a tree was a highlight.

It was a great little party!

Garden basket!

Violet's Birthday - 107/365

Today Reagan and I were heading up to Kent to go to Violet's 4th birthday party! Reagan was so excited to go. She couldn't wait!

The girls had a blast running around the house and playing dolls with Mike's sister.

Deanna made "sushi" out of fruit roll ups, gummy candy and rice Krispy treats. They were loving them. She also had a little craft for them to do. They made little masks. They just loved decorating them. Reagan got home and immediately hung hers up on her bulletin board where she puts all her special stuff.

We had a great time at the party!

Jim spent the day golfing with his dad! They had a great time and played well. Jimmy forgot to take a picture though.

This evening, we just played around the yard. Reagan was loving smelling the magnolia blossoms on our tree. She would get her whole nose down in there!

The girls!

 

Happy Birthday, Violet!

Masks!

Benjamin Party - 101/365

We were off to Skedaddles today for another birthday party. Benny, from Reagan's class, was having a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Party! Reagan was excited to go and see her friends. When we got there, she was being extremely shy and was hanging on us. Jim ended up taking her out to the car and talking to her. When they came back in, it was pizza time, so she did sit and eat pizza with everyone. After that, she was off with all her friends. They had a great time! His mom made each kid a turtle shell out of felt and they each had masks to wear. It was so stinking cute seeing all the turtles running around!

Turtle shells!

 Best buds!

 Happy Birthday, Ben!

 

Sara's Birthday Party - 97/365

Today, we decided to take a little walk with Brinkley. Reagan loves walking him, so she was thrilled!

This evening, she had a birthday party for a friend from school!

Sara was having her party at Chuck E Cheese and Reagan was super excited! She loved seeing all the kids since it was spring break. She rode the carousel with Audrina and spent most of her time playing skee ball! That's one of my favorites, too!

They all munched on pizza and cake and had a fab time! It's so cute to see her with her little friends.

Reagan and Sara!

Brinkley Birthday Party - 67/365

We had nothing going on today, so we were going to spend the day at home! YAY!

Jim left for a little bit to do some grocery shopping, but other than that, we were home bound.

This afternoon, Reagan and I baked Brinkley an apple/peanut butter cake for his birthday. It was just an egg, peanut butter, chopped up apple and baking powder mixed up and baked for 20 minutes.

After it was done, we frosted it with peanut butter. She wanted him to have sprinkles on his "pupcake" so we ran one of his soft dog treats over the grater and made our own sprinkles. She was thrilled. We added two dog treats and a candle and we were ready for the party!

We took him downstairs in the open area and threw him his little party. We sang happy birthday, let him have his cake, and he opened his presents we got the other day. He seemed to like his party, but Reagan REALLY enjoyed it! LOL!

She sure loves her brother!
