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!

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.

Belding Night - 197/365

Tonight was Belding night at the Scrappers game! What a hoot!

We were going to meet Ron, Rachel and the kids out there. Rachel and I were so excited. We both loved Saved By the Bell. Who didn't, really?

We got there a few minutes early to watch him throw the first pitch. We were a little surprised to see him at first. He looked a lot different than he did on the show. He seemed happy to be there though. 

We ended up heading over to the place were the line forms. There was no one in it, so we jumped right in. So our group was going to be first in line to meet him! We were pumped!

When he finally came out, he was SO NICE! He was genuinely happy to meet his fans. 

We got our picture taken first and he had pictures of the cast that he signed to each of us. 

Rachel was so excited to get her picture. 

After we each got our group picture, we asked if we could get a large group photo with the selfie stick. He said "of course! This is my first experience with a selfie stick!" We were happy to help him out with that. 

Rachel asked him who was the easiest to work with on set and he said Mark (Zach) and Lark (Lisa). 

We were so happy we went to meet him. It was worth it. 

We had a really great time!

Scrappers Game - 178/365

This evening we were heading to the Scrappers Game with Ron, Rachel and the kids. It was rainy our whole drive over, so we thought they may cancel the game. Fortunately, they stuck it out and eventually they did play. Ron and Rachel had special seats from one of their agents where all your food was free. There was a waitress in the section. She gave you a menu and you could order anything you wanted off of there. It was great! We got burgers, hot dogs, fries, cotton candy! We tried it all basically! LOL!

The kids had a ball together. They got to meet Scrappy! Jim ended up catching a foul ball, so when we moved over to the picnic table area they had fun playing roll the ball to each other. LOL!

Ron and Rachel left a few minutes early, so we moved down into the side field area. Jim ended up catching ANOTHER foul ball! He was so happy! He said he never caught one, let alone TWO! 

Milana took a liking to his first ball, so he let her have it. I think he was getting repaid for his good deed. 

At the end of the game, the kids were able to run the bases. Reagan went out and ran like a little pro! It was so cute to see!

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!

Garden basket!

Goodbye Papa - 154/365

Today was a sad day for our family. We got the sad news that our beloved Papa passed away.
He was always such a wonderful man who loved his family very much. He had a quick wit and wasn't afraid to share what's on his mind. He had a wonderful 95 years, but that doesn't make it any easier. We are going to miss him terribly, but know he will continue to watch over all of us.
This was one of our favorite pictures of him. He came over after we got home from the hospital when Reagan was born.
Love you, Papa

This evening was Reagan's final T-ball game. There was actually one more, but we have to miss it for our upcoming trip to Disney.
We decided we would still go. Grandma was going to bring Jillian and Evan down so that they could see a game and so that grandma could be there, too. Even Greg was going to make it out after he finished up some things. Nana and Papa came, too. Reagan had quite the cheering squad.
She did great at the game and loved having everyone there.
After the game, we took the kids over to the concession stand to get ice cream. They were in heaven.
When they finished up, Nana, Papa, Jim, Reagan and I went to have dinner at Davison's. It was rather yummy!

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!

Fairy Garden - 138/365

 Typical Spring day today.

Reagan started her day with school and she was excited for Nana to pick her up today. She had to stop and show Nana all the new puzzles on the kids table in the lobby. She was excited.

After school, we hit the mall. We have been on a mission to find the Clark's sandals that Pam had in Myrtle. Reagan has taken an interest in the little hose they give you when you try on shoes. She insisted on wearing them the rest of the day. It was hilarious!

This evening was T-ball practice. She is really loving it and doing really well. Although she did almost take off Coach Ron's head tonight. LOL!

When we got home from practice we dove right into building her Fairy Garden. She has been so excited and loved picking out all their little stuff. She is extremely hopeful that Tinkerbell will come for a visit. It's so cute!

We are really proud of the little garden!

She loves it!

Hulk Hand & T-ball - 133/365

Busy day today!

Reagan was off to school. It's been such a great year for her. She really loves it. She also loves the Box Top Bot. She always has to stop to say hi to him.

After school, we ran up to Gymbo to get some of the Spring stuff. It has been slow going with Spring and Summer stuff from Gymbo with the dock strike, but finally they are on a roll again.

This evening, Reagan had her very fist t-ball game. She was pretty excited, especially since Nana, Papa, Grandma and Papa Greg were there. She hit the ball great and just loved running the bases. She spent a lot time digging in the dirt, too, which was pretty funny.

When we got home from the game, I was going to try to mow at least the front yard real quick. It has been really wet, so it's been tough to get out there.   The mower has been giving me problems where it's just clumping instead of cutting. It takes FOREVER to get it under control. It's AWFUL. I just want to cry every time I head out to mow. Tonight was no different. It was clumping all up under the wheel well and I would have to stop every two row to get it cleaned out. I was doubly frustrated because I was trying to hurry to watch the Cavs playoff game. I seriously looked like the hulk when I was done! UGH!

We finally got all cleaned up and ready to watch the game! The CAVS are kicking ass! It's so great! They won yet again! Woohoo!
