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!

End of the Year Program & T-Ball - 140/365

Today was Reagan's end of the year program at school. She was so excited to have Mommy, Daddy, Nana, Papa and Grandma at her "show." They were singing all the songs they learned throughout the year for the different holidays. The kids did great and weren't even shy this time. It was so adorable!

We can't believe her first year of preschool is almost over.

This evening, she had another T-ball game. It was a little chilly and rainy, but they were still able to play. Raymond, Jennifer, Grandma, Nana and Papa were all gonna make it to the game tonight. She was so excited to have a gallery there to watch her. They did great and "won" again.

After the game, we all went over to the Phoenix for some dinner. It was nice to warm up and chit chat after the game!

Easter Party & Rotary Check - 90/365

Today was Reagan's first school program!

The school had their three year olds doing their Easter Program today. It was absolutely adorable! All the kids were all dressed up and sang about six songs. They had little motions and everything to go along with the songs. It was super cute and they all did great! Reagan was so excited to have mommy, daddy, Nana, Grandma and Papa Greg there to see her performance. Papa Keith was so sad, that he had a last minute meeting and couldn't make it.

After her program, we were off to her Easter Party! I was going to take pictures for everyone. The moms loved that I gave them the Halloween and Christmas parties on discs, so I said I would make one for Valentine's and Easter.

Angela had everything planned just perfectly for the party. They had an egg hunt, did three crafts, played pin the tail on the bunny, had a relay race and had a snack.

Their favorite project was a little birds nest. Angela got pretzel sticks and covered them in chocolate. Then she had edible grass and jelly beans to help finish of the nest. At the end, she gave them all a peep to top off their nest. It was SO CUTE! Reagan LOVED it!

The relay race was super cute, too! They had to carry a plastic egg on a spoon to the Easter Basket! They all did great! It was a super fun party!

After the party, Nana and I ran a few errands around town. We went to the Austintown Party store where Reagan became quite fond of a Super Mario mask. It was HILARIOUS!

Jim had a great day at Rotary. They were able to donate $1000 to the local YMCA. Another great day for Boardman Rotary!

St. Patricks Day - 76/365

St. Patricks's Day! It was going to be a busy one, too!
We started the day at Reagan's book fair! She was so excited to pick out books. She ended up with six! She kept saying she couldn't wait for bedtime so she could read them.
After we shopped, she headed off to class. They made a shamrock necklace, shamrock hat and got a visit from a leprechaun! They went for a walk and when they came back, the room was all a mess! Reagan kept saying he knocked over the trash can. She just found that so funny! LOL! They loved it!
This evening, we had a little Irish feast. I made Reuben's, pierogies and green beans. I got Jim a six pack of Guinness and I made a Miller Lite green! Reagan enjoyed green mac and cheese with green beans and green milk. For dessert we had cookies decorated for St. Patrick's Day. It was delicious!
This evening, Reagan and I made a few little St. Patrick's Day themed projects. We made Jim a handprint shamrock and Reagan wrote him a little note on it. I got a little carried away and actually told her how to spell lucky, wrong, but I suppose that makes it special! We are so lucky to have him, that we gave him extra letters in lucky! LOL!
Today, Boardman Rotary had another big day! They were able to present a $2500 check to the Salvation Army. Needless to say, they were absolutely thrilled with the donation and hope to be able to do a lot of good with it!
Jim is doing such a great job as president! We couldn't be more proud of him!

Preschool Valentine's Party - 43/365



Today was Reagan's Valentine Party at school! She was so proud of her box we made and couldn't wait to show the kids.

We worked hard on her little box. She said she wanted a dog box so I let her choose what dog we cut out and the papers we used. She helped me do a lot of the gluing. She was so proud!

We got to the school and loved checking out everyone's boxes. They were all fantastic! There was a Olaf, gumball machine, hot air balloon, basketball hoop, giraffe, all kinds of neat ones! It was so cute to watch them pass out their Valentine's!

They played some super fun games. Pin the heart on the dog, shoot arrows through a hoop, transfer candy hearts from one cup to another! They loved them all.

They did a great craft where they used washable markers to color on coffee filters. The mom's sprayed them with water and the colors bled to cover the whole filter. We let them dry and attached them to straws. When we did that, they looked like an adorable flower. The kids loved them!

After that, they had pizza and cupcakes! They gobbled everything up!

We finally read a book, played a couple games over and then it was time to go!

They all had a great party! It's so cute to watch them all in action! They are a wonderful group of kids!

This evening, Jim, Reagan and I had a fun time going through her Valentines and her little gift bags from some of the kids. She got so many cute ones!

What a fun day!

Halloween Fun and YSU Football - 304/365

It was going to be kind of a busy day today.
This afternoon, Jim was heading out to the YSU football game with Greg, Frank & Nikki. It was a little rainy and cold, but they didn't let that stop them. They had a good time and YSU even won! YAY!
This evening, we were going to do some Trick or Treating with the Crawfords. We hit a lot of houses which was good. They kids didn't even care about the rain or cold. They were running and having so much fun, they never even cared. LOL!
After trick or treating, there was a neighborhood party down at the HUGE house. We were all going to head down there and check it out. The house is just GORGEOUS! Absolutely AMAZING inside.
The people were just so sweet, too. You wouldn't know they had a dime to their name.
Fun night!
