Hersheypark - 226/365

We were starting out today at Hershey Park. When we got in, we got Reagan measured to see what she could go on. She was a Reece's Cup which meant she could go on a few coaster. Even a looping one. She was so excited!

We got right in line for the Comet. She loved it. We're so happy she's not afraid of that stuff.

We had a great day exploring the park. 

This afternoon, we decided to do a little swimming at the pool. It was nice and refreshing after a hot day at the park. Reagan even got Mr. Fuzzy and friends all suited up for a swim. They decided not to hit the pool though afterall. ;)

This evening, we went back over and hit some more rides. Especially the Coal Cracker. That seems to be a fan favorite!

Congratulations, Matt & Laura! - 170/365

Today we woke up and Reagan was sound asleep on our floor. No blanket or anything. Just her friends and her. She has her brand new bed that she loves but she must have just woke up and decided to "hide" on the floor and wait for us to wake up and just fell asleep. It was so cute. She laid there for at least on hour after I discovered she was there. Who knows how long she was there though.

This evening was Laura and Matt's wedding at the Lake Club! We couldn't wait to share in their special day! Unfortunately, it was pouring down rain. Laura was in good spirits and wasn't going to let a few rain drops spoil her day. She smiled all the way down the stairs to the tent.

It was a beautiful ceremony and reception. We had a great table. We sat with Rachel's Parents, sister, and Karen Kozbial. We had a blast!

One of the best parts of the evening was watching Milana and Parker dance the night away. It was a HOOT! They never stopped the whole time.  Precious, precious memories.
It was a beautiful wedding! We couldn't be happier for them!

Brinkley Nap, Posing and a Flower Box - 116/365

Today I was just going to get some stuff done for the trip!

While I was doing chores, Reagan was just playing and then talking with Brinkley. I went through the kitchen and saw she had covered him up and gave him her most precious friends to nap with. It was the cutest thing.

Once I finished up the chores, Reagan and I went up to Penny's and Khol's to get a few tops for the trip. Reagan just loves seeing the mannequins. She loves to stand by them and pose. At Penny's she's in heaven because there is usually a couple together to pose with. It was a hoot.

 This evening, Jimmy and Reagan played while I made a flower box for Ursuline's Teacher Appreciation week. They wanted 5 flowers each with a nice quote about teaching. The theme of the week was rainbows and "color me happy." I think it came out great!

Papa Greg Birthday - 85/365

Today was a busy day!

Jim headed off to work and Reagan and I headed off to the preschool.

I was going to help box up the Easter Candy chocolate orders. It was a pretty big order but we were able to get it all done in the two and half hours! It worked out great!

After school, we went running a few errands. Once place was Target. Reagan was being all silly in the buggy putting her feet every which way. She's a nut!

After errands, it was time for ballet. When we got out of the car, Reagan arranged all her friends in her booster with the seat belt on, so they would be safe while we were in class. LOL! It was precious!

This evening, Reagan and Jim went over to Papa Greg's to visit him for his birthday! They had a great little visit and Papa Greg loved the Mickey golf card Reagan made for him! He was so happy to see them!

I had made plans with Deanna and Stephanie to meet up at Inner Circle for a quick dinner, so I met them! We had some awesome girl talk! Love those ladies!

Crazy Buggy Girl!

 Friends are safe!

 Happy Birthday, Papa Greg!

Reagan Nana's & Mark Painting - 324/365

The doors were finally finished and Mark was here to paint them! YAY!

He was going to paint all our trim around the front and the inside of the sliding door. He is going to wait to paint the outside front and the door itself till the spring, when he can spray them. 

I was feeling slightly better today, but was going to spend another day being lazy. 

Reagan spent the day playing at Nana's house. Nana was nice enough to take her, while I spent one more day recovering and to help keep her out of Mark's way. I would use the lazy time to do some online Christmas shopping!

Reagan and Nana had a great day playing. Then this evening they went to Tippy. Nana decided to just keep Reagan overnight, to help shield her from the funk going around our house. 

Reagan just loves her PJ parties at Nana's house!

Little sweetie at Tippy! 

Mr. Fuzzy, Fall, & Painting - 280/365

Today, Jim went off to work. He said he had a good, but, busy day. 

Reagan and I were just going to be running some errands. We were going to go over to Raymond and Jenny's to let out Dexter this afternoon for them. 

Reagan get's so excited to see little Dexter and I think Dexter gets just as excited to see her. Reagan wanted to bring Mr. Fuzzy and Puppy over to show him! 

We took Dexter out and then spent a little time playing with him. 

Once we went on our way, we stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few things. In the middle of shopping, Reagan burst into tears and started screaming "I WANT MR. FUZZY BACK!"

I asked her where he was and she yelled "DEXTER'S"

I told her we would go back and get him when we were done, which didn't seem to be a proper solution for her because she cried the entire rest of the shopping trip and all the way over to "Dexter's."

When we got there, I just ran in and asked her where she left them inside. She said "by the candy." Well of course, where else would they be! LOL! 

What an ordeal! After the Florida debacle, I didn't think we'd go through that again. At least he was easy to find this time!

Later this evening, Jim, Reagan, Brinkley and I went up to the three mile trail for a little stroll. 

Reagan wanted to walk Brinkley for a little bit, so we let her. He is a GREAT walker, doesn't pull or anything. Well, we were walking along and a squirrel darted out RIGHT in front of us. Probably less than three feet away. Brinkley got excited and kind of pulled Reagan down. She banged her elbow and started crying. Once we calmed her down, she did have a little brush burn that was bleeding just a little bit. After she realized she was OK, she started laughing and kept asking "Why did that squirrel tripped me?" She's too funny! When anyone asks her what happened to her arm she says "A squirrel tripped me at the park." LMAO!

The first picture is Dexter.

Next, Reagan hysterical on the way to Mr. Fuzzy!

Reunited!

Line Leader and Dog Day - 260/365

Today was Reagan's Line Leader day at school! She was so excited! 

She got to bring a book to read, a show and tell item and got to be first at everything today. 

I asked Mrs. Scanlon, the assistant teacher, if she would snap some pictures for me with our iPod. She got an adorable one of Reagan talking to the class about Mr. Fuzzy and Puppy. Reagan said she told the story about Mr. Fuzzy being lost in the airport and told everyone that Puppy is silly and talks alot. 

She said the kids really liked her book, but she did point out that "Mrs. Sebastiani skipped a page, but then she went back." It's a board book, so they pages do kind of stick together. Reagan won't let you skip! LOL! 

She said they went to the play center and played with Alivia, her new best friend. She seemed to have a great day being the leader. 

We went to lunch after school and she started singing "Y-E-L-L-O-W spells Yellow!" I was so impressed. We are so proud of everything she is learning. 

After lunch, we stopped at White House to get some more Honey Crisp Apples and Reagan got to play with Bonnie, again. She just loves throwing the ball over and over and over for her. Bonnie will do it all day if you'd let her!

After White House, we went over Ray and Jenny's to let Dexter out for them. Reagan loves playing with him, too! Reagan laid down on the couch and Dexter hopped right up on her and gave her a million kisses. Reagan also walked him a couple times around the yard. He loved it! 

This evening, I met Deanna and Marissa up at Inner Circle for a girls night out. 

While I was there, Jim and Reagan spent some time soaking up the nice day. We won't have too many left!

The first photo is Reagan with her show and tell items.

FIRST Day of School & a Cookout- 246/365

Today was our baby's FIRST day of SCHOOL! 

WHAT? The first day of school! We can't believe it! It seems like just yesterday we had her. It also seems like we just went to sign her up and still had six months to wait. Time goes to fast.

We signed her up at Ursuline. It's great because the school has a fabulous reputation and it's only two minutes from our house. We are so excited to have her enrolled there.

Her teacher is Mrs. Sebastiani who also has a fabulous reputation. We couldn't be happier!

She also knows a few kids in her class, so that helps, too.

Reagan was a little nervous to go, but did really well! She didn't cry when we left, but when I picked her up and asked how her day was, she said "I cried." I asked why and she replied "because the girl in the purple was crying." I felt so bad. She added though "the teacher picked me up and said it would be OK, so then I was OK."

Other than that, she said she really liked it and was excited to go back! She didn't give too many details, but hopefully those will come with time. We hope this is an amazing year for her. We can wait to see all the things she learns and all the fun projects she'll bring home!

Jim and I did pretty good. I did shed just a tear or two. I did better than I thought, too. 

This afternoon we went to Menchies as a first day of school celebration and hit the Gymboree! 

This evening, we went over to Jim's mom and dad's for dinner. Greg made his famous chicken and pineapple on the grill! It was delicous! It was nice to sit and chit chat and Reagan loved talking about school. 

It was such a bittersweet day! So proud of our baby girl!

 Next, the adorable classroom.

Training Camp - 222/365

Today, Nana, Reagan and I headed up to Browns Training Camp.
It had been a few years since we had been there, so we were excited. We parked in the same spot as a few years ago, which is just basically someone's front yard. It works out great since it's right at the gate.

This year, you had to get tickets ahead of time, since Johnny Football has joined the team. There was rain in the forecast, but we decided to give it a go.

The had a nice little team shop where we did some shopping.
Next, we just walked around and took some pictures. Thankfully, we brought ponchos because it started pouring down rain. We still hung around a little bit. Nana and I were finding it humorous, Reagan, not so much. LOL!

We didn't even get to see Johnny Football! Boo!

Since it was raining, we decided to go over to South Park Center and take a spin through the mall.

We had lunch at Houlihan's. Then walked around the mall.

They have a little pet store in there with puppies that Reagan just loved. She was talking and playing with them through the glass! She loved it! We hope they all get loving homes!

It was a good day, despite the rain!

We made it!

Looking for Johnny!

 Not amused with the rain.

 REALLY not amused

 Playing with the puppies!

 

Phantoms Game - 87/365

Today, Reagan was going to spend the day and night at Nana and Papa's! I was going to do some chores and spend a little more time on the photobook. They had a great day! They played egg hunt, games and watched Frozen, of course! LOL! They had a blast! 

This evening, Jim, Greg, Nikki and I were heading down to the Covelli Center to watch the Phantoms game. We always try to take in a game or two, but this year we hadn't made it down until tonight. 

It was funny because it was dog night. We felt bad we didn't bring Brinkley! LOL! 

The game itself was good, back and forth the whole time. They did end up losing 4-3. Oh well, we still had a great time! That's the way it goes for all the teams we like.

Jim and I went to have a few drinks at Warehouse 50 after the game. We were reminiscing about our BW3 days. We had fun! Even did a shot of cookie dough vodka because we were curious. LOL! 

The photo of the day is all of us at the game!

Next, is Mr. Fuzzy and Puppy playing cupcakes with Nana and Reagan.
