Train, Bath & YSU - 78/365

It was a busy one today! Reagan was off to school! She had a nice day!

After school, we decided to hit the mall for a bit. Reagan is loving having the train there. So of course we had to hop on today. When we got to the "station" it said the driver would be back in 10 minutes, so we just hung out on some couches. Reagan sprawled right out and made her self at home. It was a hoot. We finally got to take our ride. It really is fun and they are always jamming some peppy music! LOL!

After the ride, we headed over to Toys R Us. We wanted to get Reagan a little T-ball set to practice at home. She's starting a little T-ball league in a couple weeks. We want to make sure she gets a little practice in before hand! Hopefully she likes it!

This evening, Reagan and I were on our own. We just hung around the house and I let her have a bath in our big tub. She loves splashing around in our tub. She thinks it's a pool compared to hers! It's so funny. Brinkley likes to get in on the action by jumping up and checking things out. He likes to try to catch the water when she splashes!

Jim hit the YSU woman's playoff game with his dad and Frank. Unfortunately, they lost big to Duquesne with a score of 72-54. They had fun and were happy to go! They grabbed some dinner before hand at O'Donalds downtown! 

Fun Day for all!

Princesses on Parade & YSU - 66/365

Today we were doing Princesses on Parade at the Dutch Haus Village Inn. It was a really fun event.

Reagan dcided she wanted to go as Belle. I was happy, because we have photographed her in her other nice dresses, so this would give us some new pictures.

We wanted to give her some authentic Belle hair, so Reagan and I watched a YouTube video on how to do it. It was relatively easy and really came out fantastic. I was so proud of myself! LOL! She looked amazing!

Nana, Reagan and I headed down right at 2, to get registered. It was so darling how they had everything set up. They had chair covers with blue ties, glass slipper and flowers for centerpieces. The runway was amazing! It was decorated with lots of tulle and twinkle lights. Reagan was in awe of everything.

Next, we went over and got her make-up done. They had a couple makeup artists from Mary Kay there to do the girls makeup. They did it nice and soft. It looked perfect on them.

After, they had a professional photographer with a beautiful backdrop take pictures of all the princesses.

Finally, everyone was settled at their tables and the program started. Cinderella, Belle and the Royal King all stood up and said a little something, then the princess parade began.

Reagan was acutally number one! It was too cute! She was the first one to hit the runway. It was probably for the best, so she didn't have time to get nervous. She walked right up and down the runway. You could tell she was shy. When she got to the end where they take pictures, her eyes were a little watery, but she was holding it together. She turned around and headed back to the stairs to get down. When she got down the stairs and back over to me, she burst into tears for a minute. It was adorable and pitiful all at the same time. She said she was a little bit scared with everyone looking at her. After she settled down a little bit, she loved watching all the other princesses parade down the runway.

At the end, they had a yummy dinner of turkey breast, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, ham and bread. It was delicious!

After we ate, all the girls had a fun time parading up and down the runway again. They went up an down and up and down about 100 times! It was a hoot!

Jim and Papa came a little bit late to the Parade. Papa made it for the runway walk, and Jim made it for the dinner.

Jimmy already had plans with Greg and Frank to check out the YSU woman's basketball game. They had a nice lunch at O'Donald's first before taking in the game.

The game itself was a blowout with a score of 80-57 over Valparaiso. With that win the girls earned a first round home game in the playoffs! Go Guins!

They guys were stoked because they saw Jim Tressel at the game. They also got a picture with Pete the Penquin. They had a fun time!

This evening we just hung around and watched TV. Reagan was exhausted from her princess filled day!

Bailey Back to the Vet & YSU - 8/365

Today, Bailey was actually doing a bit worse. The more we watched him and made him walk around, it seemed as though his back hips were hurting him. We felt so bad for him, that we decided to run him over to the emergency vet. Turns out, they weren't open, so we begged to get back into Dr. Allen.
The same Dr. was in and gave him yet another once over. He felt his bones and stuff and didn't think he had a fracture. He thought maybe he had a soft tissue bruise, so he gave him a shot of cortisone to see if that would alleviate some pain. He also suggested he get started on glucosamine treats.
We dropped Bailey off at home to let his shot kick in. Nana, Reagan and I then went to run some errands. First we stopped at Bob Evans to have some lunch. Reagan just loves their shape pancakes. This month it is a snowman! SUPER CUTE! She was pumped! She gobbled up almost the whole thing!
This evening, Jim was heading to the YSU men's basketball game with his dad. They played Wright State. They ended up losing the game 70-61. They said they had a really fun time and were glad they went.  The roads were a little tricky coming home, but they made it.
Reagan and I spent some time doing Beados and watching Bailey.
The shot was a MIRACLE! He was back to his old self this evening. He's always in the same room as us hanging out and he and Brandy play wrestle a lot, too! He was back to walking all around and torturing her. We're so happy he's doing better! He was so pitiful! Even though he's 15, he still acts like a kitten most days. We hope he sticks around awhile! We love our little buddy!

Game Exchange, YSU Game - 363/365

Today, Reagan, Nana and I were going to take back one of her LeapTV games. She ended up with two Bubble Guppies games, so Nana was going to exchange her's for Reagan for a different one. 

We went to the Walmart in Boardman and the line was crazy! They guy was super nice though and hooked us up with an exchange. 

We went back to the games and she jumped on the Dora game. We hadn't seen that one at all during our Christmas shopping, so she was pretty excited. She wanted to go right home and play it!

This evening when Jim got home, he and Reagan were going to go meet Grandma and Papa Greg at the YSU woman's basketball game. Jim said Reagan was really good and was pretty into it most of the time. They got to sit in the second row behind the bench, so that was fun. Sean and Barb were there, so it was nice for them to get to visit, too!

The girls team ended up beating the Akron Zips 75-62!

Reagan enjoying her new game!

Baskets, Football and a visit - 319/365

Today, I was up early and at the school again to continue doing baskets. We were going to be wrapping everything today. This was my first year, but the girls kept saying we were in way better shape than they were last year. We had a fun time and had lots of laughs putting everything together. I was so happy to be apart of this project.

Jim and Reagan hung around the house this morning, then he dropped her off at the school on the way to the YSU game. He was meeting his dad, mom and Frank for the game. 

The YSU game was sad. They ended up losing in overtime, which meant they got knocked out of the playoffs. Oh well. 

Reagan and the kids had a great time at the school playing again. They made a huge dance floor out of blocks. It was quite impressive!

Matt and Nikki were coming down to visit Papa, since he fell. After the game, were were all getting together for a visit. 

Matt, Nikki and the kids stopped over to watch the rest of the CAVS game and the girls had a ball playing dress up. They were Anna and Elsa. It was a hoot!

The first is Reagan and her friends playing.

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!

YSU - 290/365

Today was going to be a busy one! 

Jim and I were heading out to the YSU football game with Greg, Nikki, and Uncle Frank. 

There was supposed to be a Boardman Rotary Tailgate, but things fell through at the last minute and it didn't happen. Nana and Papa had already planned to watch her, so they still wanted to keep her for the night.

We started our afternoon at Suzie's Dogs and Drafts to meet a couple of Jim's friends. His friend Mike was in visiting from Utah, so we met with him and his girlfriend for a few beers. Jim's other friend, Crin, came out for a few beverages, too! We had a nice visit with them. 

After that, we met Nikki, Greg and Frank at a tailgate party in the small lot. Greg had passes for a tailgate with food and beer, so we really enjoyed that!

The game itself was good! YSU played awesome and ended up winning 26-14 against Southern Illinois. The weather was not the best though. It was pretty windy, rainy and cold. At one point it looked like it was snowing! It was crazy! We just put on our ponchos and powered through though! We still had a good time!

After the game, Jim and I went over to BW3's in Austintown for some dinner and a night cap. 

Reagan had a great time with Nana and Papa! They went to Tippy for their dinner and dancing. They played games and splashed in the tub! She loves her pj parties at Nana and Papa's!

YSU GAME - 283/365

Today was family fun at the YSU tailgate! 

Matt and Nikki were coming down for a game, since it was at 7.

It was great to get together for a tailgate, after all this time. No one has really tailgated this year, so everyone was pretty excited to go. 

We just hung out at the garage at D&E,since they gave up the tailgate spots in the main lot. We had tacos, hot dogs, pepperoni rolls and lots of yummy desserts!

The kids had a ball playing! They loved doing silly poses for pictures and playing in the side yard. Reagan collected a couple sticks and would take her imaginary dog for a walk. It was too funny! She even brought in the stick to the game. Ally carried a couple cookies, but dropped a few a long the way. They had so much fun running in the bleachers together. They were perfect angels. Reagan even got to meet Pete!

We ended up finding Ray, Jenny, Vicki and Lew, so we got to sit with them during the game, too! It was great to see them!

The game wasn't so great. YSU did end up losing. Oh well. 

The first picture is the kids at the tailgate.

Sunsets & YSU - 262/365

Today was a busy day for everyone! 

We hung around the house this morning just playing with toys. We caught Bailey taking a cat nap in Reagan's chair. It was adorable!

This afternoon, Jim headed out to the YSU Football game. He was meeting his mom, dad, Uncle Frank and Joe. They had passes for a special tailgate tent with food. They had a great afternoon. YSU ended up beating St. Francis 52-23! It was such a beautiful night!

While he was off doing that, Reagan, Nana and I went out to the experimental farm for their annual Sunset on the Farm Fest.
They always do a great job out there. They have wagon ride, games, marshmallow roasting. Reagan ran into her little friend from nature class, so they had a great time running around.
It was great day.
