Second New Door - 235/365

Today they were installing yet another new door. The first one was a mess and wasn't right. 

They were working on it when I heard the guy say it was all rotten underneath. He didn't say anything to me, except that "he'll have the new door in soon." I asked about the rotten stuff, and he just said they were going to figure it out. After a bunch of back and forth, they finally fixed the wood and all seems to be well. Let's hope. Donchess will need to come back and paint now. 

We had to have the cats in the basement the whole time, so Reagan kept wanting to go visit. It was cute. She even captured Brandy for a few hugs. She was thrilled.

Finally, this evening, a whole crew of us went to Country Spin. It was a blast!

Spinning Selfie - 221/365

Today Raymond and Jennifer were going to join me at Spinning class. I'm so excited to have people to go with now. It's so fun. It really helps to motivate me, too. I'm really really enjoying it. 

Raymond and Jennifer said they really enjoyed it and would definitely come back. 

Even Raymond, who doesn't like Country enjoyed it. 

We're going to try to get Nana to go sometime, too!

While I was off spinning, Jim and Reagan took Brinkley for a walk and played on the playset. Typical Monday evening for them.

We of course had to take a Sweaty, spinning, selfie!

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

4th of July FUN - 184/365

Today we were up early to hit the parade in Canfield. We were going to meet the Musilli crew over there. Ron and Sharon said we could just park at their house and walk over to the Dairy Queen. It worked out great! Papa Ron went over at 7:30 to get spots for everyone. He also got the kids those little popper fireworks, so they had a blast popping those waiting for the parade. 

We had a good laugh because a girl from MOPS was talking to me, but kept calling me Laura. It was a hoot. Papa Ron looked over during the parade and asked "you enjoying the parade, Laura?" I busted!

The parade itself was great! It was about an hour and half long and all the floats were pretty elaborate. They did a great job. A couple of the classic cars kept breaking down, so they would have to push them to keep them going. 

Reagan didn't like when the firetrucks blew their horn. She kept covering her ears. It was cute!

It was a nice parade and we were glad we went. 

When we got home, it was time to get ready to head over to Mercer to Mike and Jamie's for their picnic. I made my sausage dip that everyone loved and it was a big hit!

The kids had a ball swimming and going on a big slip and slide they had for the kids. It was so cute to see them all play together. For us adults it was great to catch up. We hadn't seen some of them for awhile.

Jamie ended up taking us on a cart ride around the lake. It's so beautiful over there. They sure have a nice life built over there!

After we left there, we headed out to the Lake Club for the 4th of July party. Papa Ron said he had a few extra wrist bands, so he invited us over. We were so excited to go!

They had an AMAZING party going on. They had a live band, buffet and bar. For the kids, they had a two story water slide, bounce house, clowns, Kona Ice Truck, play-doh table, coloring table, dancing. The kids had an absolute ball! As dusk they gave all the kids light swords. They had fun on the dance floor with them!

At dark they had an amazing firework display over the lake. They did a fantastic job with the party.

We had a great day with family and friends!

Painting Class - 275/365

This evening we were having a girls night at The Party Gallery. 

Rachel, Jessica, Candace, and Toni were going to take part in a sip and paint class. The picture was really cute, so we were excited! 

Rachel and I decided to go to Inner Circle to have dinner before we went over. We got to Inner Circle about 5 and at 5:50 we still had no pizza. We had to be across the street at 6 for painting. We ordered right away, too! We told the girl, at this point, just put our pizza in a box and we'll take it with us. 

We ended up just eating it at The Party Gallery. LOL!

Painting class was super fun and all our paintings came out great! It was fun to see how similar, but yet how different they all were. 

It was a fun night out. 

While we were off doing that, Jim, Reagan and Brinkley took advantage of the decent weather and played outside. They just ran and ran around the back yard!

The first picture is my pizza and painting. 

The finished product!
