Cavs are Eastern Conference Champs - 145/365

Today was Reagan's last full day of school. We can't believe how fast the year went. She did so great and loved every minute of it. Her teachers were amazing, too. I don't think it could have gone any better. She's already ready for next year!

Nana picked her up from school and kept her the rest of the day. They ran a couple errands and had dinner with Papa at Stonebridge. They were going to have a PJ party, too, since Jim and I were off to the Cavs game.

We headed up to Cleveland right when Jim got home. We decided to park at the Tower City deck. It worked out great. We had dinner beforehand at the Hard Rock. We hadn't been there in YEARS. It was really good. We had a sundae the size of our heads too.

They were playing what was hopefully the last game to make them the Easter Conference Champions. Well, they did it and it was absolutely AMAZING! They pretty much blew out the Atlanta Hawks. It was so incredibly fun to see a trophy presentation FOR a Cleveland team in a Cleveland venue. SO, so fun!

Champions!

Confetti!

Congrats Cavs!

 

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!

Sports and a PJ Party - 131/365

 It was a busy day today!

Reagan, Nana and I continued our garden center tour. Today we hit up Petitti's. I needed a big bowl for some a few Water Lily plants I want to try to grow. Reagan thought it would be hilarious to sit in one and pretend she was on a boat! She's got such an imagination.

This evening she was off to her second T-Ball practice. She is really doing well and really loves it. It's so cute to see her all decked out in baseball stuff. She spends a lot of time just playing in the dirt, too. It's too funny!

After practice she was having a PJ party with Nana and Papa, since Jim and I were off to the Cavs game. The Cavs, despite their injuries, are doing SO well. The game was a great one and back and forth like crazy! We got to see a WIN, so that was awesome as well. I have never heard that place louder. It was CRAZY!

Reagan had fun at her PJ party! They watched movies and played toys! She gets so excited to go over there! Precious memories!

Good times for all!

Go CAVS!

 

 

Cavs Game, Girls Lunch - 103/365

Busy one again today!

Reagan and I started our day with a walk after Jim went off to work. We went around the neighborhood and ran into Rachel, Tiffany and Kat standing around at Tiffany's house. It was good to see the girls and the kids had fun running around for a bit.

This afternoon, we were going to have lunch with Nana, MJ and JoAnn. We decided to try Trax since we hadn't been there in awhile. It was really good! We had a lovely lunch!

This evening, Jim and I were going to take in one last regular season Cavs game. We were afraid the starters weren't going to play, but they did! We even scored VIP tickets which was great! The game was awesome and they won pretty comfortably! It was so fun!

Reagan was hanging out with grandma and papa Greg tonight. Papa Greg and Reagan spent some time watching The Little Mermaid in their "boat." She had a great time! She didn't spend the night since she had school the next day, so grandma just brought her back her for bath and bed.

It was a fun day for all!

Cavs Game - 79/365

Today Reagan had her four year wellness visit!

Doctor said she is happy and healthy! At 37 pounds and 40 1/2 inches she is growing fast! She did have to get a little finger prick that she was not happy about. They like to check for anemia around this age, because they can get to be little picky eaters! She was in the good range, thankfully. She's been eating enough of her veggies. Although, she did scream during the procedure, because the nurse made the mistake of telling her she was going to prick her finger! Sigh....  She got to go to Menchies to make up for it!

This evening, Reagan was heading to spend the night at Grandma and Papa Greg's. She loves having a sleep over there. Papa Greg likes to play make believe with her! They had a great time.

While she was over there, Nana, Papa, Ray, Jenn and I were heading up to Cleveland for a night of fun! We were first having dinner at Mortons, then off to the Cavs game. Ray and Jenn had got tickets when they bought their new car, so we got tickets close to them and headed up. The game itself was great! It was back and forth with a winning outcome! We were a little worried because they said LeBron may not play because he was "sick." Turns out he had the poops! LOL! Poor Lebron!

Oh well, they ended up winning and we had a great night!

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!
