Play Date Times Two - 230/365

Today we Reagan and I were having some of the girls over. 

It was going to be a beautiful day, so we blew up a couple of the pools and slip and slide. 

Deanna, Marissa and the girls all got there right at 10 and we had a great visit. The girls had a ball playing together, too.

Little Mike hug in there with everyone, too. We looked over at one point and he had the play tongs for Reagan's BBQ on his face. We howled!

This evening we were going to have a porch party with Ron and Rachel and the rest of the neighborhood crew. We had a really fun night. The kids had a blast.

Reagan was so tired at the end of the day.

Barfing Brinkley - 224/365

Today was a yucky morning. 

Brinkley seemed fine when he woke up but soon after he ate his breakfast, we got to see it again. Jim always gets the chunks for me, because it makes me want to throw up. He's awesome. Once he helped me and everything seemed fine, he headed off to work. 

Not soon after that, Brinkley threw up again! Ugh!

  I put him outside on the deck and he threw up again. I was beside myself on how to even begin cleaning it all up. 

Luckily, but incredibly gross, he ate up the pile on the deck, so I was just left to the inside. Yuck. 

We didn't think he ate anything different, so we called Dr. Allen. 

Dr. Allen suggested we change his food to Science Diet Sensitive Skin and Stomach since he's getting a bit older. We had him on Blue Buffalo, but Dr. said dogs have been having a lot of issues on that food. Hopefully, that will be the change we need. 

While we were waiting to be seen, our little cat whisperer made friends with the office cat. Wherever we go and see a cat, Reagan makes fast friends. It's amazing. Cats just love her. 

After the vet, we ran to Target. Where we go everyday!! I wanted to get some shelves for Reagan's room and a basket for our chargers and ipads for the kichen counter.

Scrappers & Coloring - 223/365

Today Reagan was going to spend the day with Grandma. She hadn't got to see her for awhile, since they went to Maine and we went to Myrtle Beach. Reagan was so excited to see her. 

They ended up going to Austintown Park and to lunch. They had a good time. 

I did a bunch of chores around the house and listed some old clothes on Ebay. 

Brinkley stayed right near me. I got the cutest picture of him!

Mark came and patched up the bathroom wall where the plumber had to fix the pipe. He did a great job as usual. It was quite the task for him. 

I finally was able to find Reagan a coloring page from the fair. She loved coloring one last year and seeing it on display. This year, they must have only printed a couple because it was hard to find. She loved coloring it all up and "making it beautiful." She wanted to use her extra special Disney Princess Crayons from our last Disney trip. 

While we hung around the house, Jim, Greg and Nikki headed out to the Scrappers game. It was a nice, but chilly night for them. They had to break out the coats and jeans. Yikes!

They Scrappers pulled off a win at least for them!

Nana Day - 222/365

Jim was off to work today and I was going to spend the day doing chores and laundry. I had fallen way behind with a busy weekend and being in Myrtle last week. 

Reagan was going to spend the day with Nana. Brinkley was going to go, too. They were going to take him to the groomer for me. He was way over due for a sprucing up!

When they got back from taking him, they just played around the house. 

They took all the snappy princess dolls and made a beach for them. Nana even got them an ocean, which was a bowl of water. Reagan just thought it was the best thing.

They had a great day!

Bridgestone Invitational - 220/365

Today, Jim and I were off to the Bridgestone Invitational. 

We love our golf day and it has been a tradition for us since we started dating. 

It was going to be a perfect day. Not too hot and lots of sunshine and blue skies. We got there around 10 and went and caught Padraig Harrington on hole 9. We watched him play for awhile, then went and caught up with Phil Mickelson.

Finally, it was time for Sergio to tee off. We went over to hole one to catch him. He seemed like he was in an awesome mood today, so we were happy. That mood soon turned sour after he got a double bogey on three. The rest of the afternoon he was quite crabby. He hit into a tree right by us on one of the holes. We could have touched him we were so close. The marshall asked him if he could do anything for him and Sergio replied "I want to go home." It was a hoot. 

Then a spectator on a another hole said "Your gonna like that one Sergio" Sergio replied "I'm not going to like anything about it" Then muttered something in Spanish. It was quite funny. He's always good for some antics whether good or bad. 

They really spruced up some of the vending areas around the course. They added air conditioned wine and voda booths with awesome leather couches and tables. We hung out in there for a bit, to cool off just a bit. 

We always have such a great time there. 

We ended up leaving around 5:30, so we had a full day!

Reagan was spending the day with Nana and Papa. They played and did a visit to the farm. 

Brinkley even went over for a visit, too. He was such a good boy he got some doggie ice cream as well. 

Everyone had a nice day!

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.

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!

Posing and Dog Park - 200/365

Today, Nana, Reagan and I were going to head up to Legacy Village to check out the new Janie and Jack line and grab some lunch. 

We got some beautiful suff and Janie and had a fabulous lunch at Brio as always. We had to park in a little different spot this time, so we were right by Crate and Barrel. We decided to run in there and check it out since we hadn't been in awhile. 

Reagan was loving all the displays. Everyone we went to she stopped us and posed and said "take a picture." It was the funniest thing. We had fun watching what she would come up with. 

This evening I was going to take my first spin class at Pure Cycle! I was nervous and excited at the same time! It went good. The teacher/owner was awesome. She made me feel so welcome and explained that I probably would just sit and peddle and that was OK. I did like it and I will most definitely go back! 

While I was doing that, Jim and Reagan took Brinkley to Austintown Park to the dog park. They had fun and Reagan loved playing with the dogs. One dog kept following her around! It was cute!

Garage Sale - 191/365

Today we were ready for day two of the garage sale! 

I was a little tired from our evening with Shania, but I just needed to get through till 2 o'clock. 

Nana came over around 7 this morning, to get set up again.

People didn't show up near as early which was good, so we had plenty of time to build our displays. 

People seemed to love our little areas. The hottest sellers were the Browns stuff and the Yankee Candles. We put a whole bunch of half burned candles out there for a doller and they were gone. Nana actually brought some more for day two and they were gone again in the first two hours. It was a hoot. 

Jennifer even stopped by and brought us some snacks. It was great!

Jim went and got us Subway for lunch, too. YAY!

We ended up doing about $600 on day two. We couldn't have been more thrilled. It was a lot of work, but worth it in the end. Most of that stuff would have probably been thrown away or given to good will, so we'll abosolutely take the $1200 bucks!

Jim decided that he would take his car down to the Salem Walmart today to see if they could change the tires. Thankfully, they were able to do it and it took the hour it was supposed to. YAY! He'll be all set for winter.

This evening we promised Reagan some Yumberries for being a good girl throughout the garage sale. She repetedly told us over the two days that "garage sales are boring." She was a great sport though.

Garage Sale & Shania Twain - 190/365

It was finally garage sale day! 

Nana came over at 6:30 to help get the final tables organized outside. We were pretty much ready. The garage was full and the driveway was full, too. 

We tried to sort everything in to areas. We had kitchen, vases, crafting, kids, lawn & garden, Browns, lighing, holidays. It worked out great and people seemed to love it. 

It was supposed to start at 9, but people acutally started showing up at 7:45. It was crazy. 

It really was a steady stream of people all day. 

We made about $800 on the first day. We were THRILLED! We couldn't belive it. 

This evening, Nana and I were headed down to Pittsburgh to see Shania Twain at the Consol Energy Center. We couldn't wait to see her. It had been nearly 15 years since she has toured. She was always an amazing singer and performer. We were so excited. 

Shania did not dissapoint she put on a fabulous show! She did all the classics, too! We loved it!

Jim and Reagan spent their evening at Walmart. Jim wanted to get some new tires on his car, but didn't want to spend a ton, since he only drives it to work and back. They went and they said it would be about an hour for them to put the tires on. After about an hour and fifteen minutes they went to check on the car and they said they were having trouble getting the hubcaps off. They said they could try again, but it would be about another hour. He said forget it and they left. He was not a happy camper. 

Reagan was excited though because while they were wandering around the Walmart they ventured into the toy aisle. Jim let her pick out something since she was good on thier shopping trip. She picked out a My Little Pony Equestrian girl doll. She loves that movie, so she was stoked.

When they got home, they took Brinkley and the new doll for a stroll. 

Garage sale all set!
