Luau - 219/365

Today we were heading up to Nikki and Matt's for our annual Luau. 

Well, we are trying to make it an annual thing, but last year it didn't work out. 

This year we were gonna make sure it happened. 

We settled on a date and nothing was gonna stop us, or so we thought. Adrienne and the kids had to miss becuase the kids came down with Impetigo and poor Evan has Pneumonia! YIKES! We are wishing them both a speedy recovery!

We got there and Nikki had made awesome kabobs, fruit tray, coleslaw and ribs. Sarah made a hawaiian dip that we could have all just ate with a spoon. We were in charge of the hawaiian rice. YUM!

We all had a blast hanging out and chatting. Reagan was a little bit out of sorts, she hadn't slept much this past week with Myrtle and everything else, so she was a little sluggish. The girls still had fun playing with the scooters, coloring and blowing bubbles. 

It was a great evening with family and friends.

Laura's Party & Tippy Fireworks - 185/365

Today we were able to relax a bit in the morning. It was nice after such a busy day yesterday.

This afternoon, we were heading over to Matt and Laura's new house. They wanted to have a 4th/House warming party. 

Thier house was just beautiful! Everything already looks perfect! It's like they've lived their forever! They will be very happy there. 

The kids had fun running around the yard doing bubbles, poppers and playing bocci. They always play so nice together! It's cute to see! We had a nice time. 

After Laura's we were going to meet Ray and Jenn at Nana and Papa's to go over to Tippy for thier 4th of July party.

Unfortunately, Ray and Jenn got in a minor accident on the way over. They were ok and the car was driveable, but it was still some pretty good damage. What a pain for them.

We ended up walking up which is always nice. We got a nice table and had a yummy dinner. They had the traditional picnic food in a buffet. It was yummy.

After that, we went outside to walk the sky divers and get a balloon from the clown. Reagan asked for a Mermaid and he was able to do it. It was amazing! He even gave it red hair like Ariel! Reagan was thrilled!

The sky divers were amazing too. How they jump out of a plane and land where they are supposed to is beyond me. 

After that, we found a nice place to put down the blanket Ray and Jenny brought. It had a silky texture, so Reagan realized she could slide down it. She was calling it her slip and slide. She was having a ball. She even threw in a couple somersaults!  It was a hoot. 

It was another great day with friends and family!

Mowing & Bubbles - 161/365

Today, I wanted to get the grass cut, but as the day went on, they were predicting pop up thunderstorms late this afternoon. It was already pretty long, and was supposed to rain the next couple days, so I was afraid to wait. I decided to try to get it done, before Jim got home, but needed to keep Reagan entertained at the same time. While I did the back, she played on her play set. 

The front yard posed more of a challenge. I decided to hook her up with bubbles and some chalk on the front porch. Brinkley stayed with her the whole time, too! I told her if she needed anything, to just go on the sidewalk by the porch and wave her arms. She did wave them once, because she spilled her bubbles...lol! I filled her back up and she was back in business! She blew bubbles the entire time. She did so great and I was able to get the grass all done. Of course, it never did end up raining this evening, so I could have waited for Jim to get home, but i was glad to have it over with anyway.

Here are Reagan and Brinkley...
