Bird Knocker - 229/365

We've been hearing a light tap on our windows recently. Here, it is a tiny yellow finch. I don't know what he wants but he comes everyday. I fianally caught a picture of him. He sits on the little window divider. He's stripping the pain off, too. Weird bird!

Reagan had gymnastics today. She is doing so great! She's a little mad that she has two teachers this summer. It's just because the classes are bigger. She just misses Miss Mandy.

Akron Golf & Menchies - 218/365

Jim and Greg were heading up to the Akron golf tournament today. 

It was the first round of thr Bridgestone Invitational. They brought stadium chairs and spent a lot of time sitting and watching the players go through two at a time. They got close to all the famous players and enjoyed a great day in the sun. 

While they were doing that, Reagan and I were off to gymnastics! She was doing her make-up session today since she missed Tuesday for Myrtle Beach. She still loved it even though she didn't know too many kids in this class. She was happy because she got to see Miss Mandy for a few minutes!

After that, we went to run a few errands around town and made a pitstop at Menchies for Reagan! She loved it!

It was a great day for all!

Rascal Flatts and Gymnastics - 204/365

Today Nana took Reagan to gymnastics for me, so I could get a few things done. That was a huge help!

She is getting so good at her obsticals. She just cruises over the ladder these days and loves hanging on the ropes. She also does REALLY good at the beam these days, too. It's fun to watch her progress. 

This evening, Nana and I were heading out to see Rascal Flatts at First Niagara. 

They were REALLY good this year. They didn't do the long slow part that they have in past years. It was all high energy. The only thing we missed was them having a catwalk. It was just the main stage, so we were a little farther back than we usally are. We really enjoyed the show though. 

While we were there, Jim and Reagan took Brinkley for a nice long walk at Austintown Park. Brinkley loves going through those trails back there. Reagan wasn't quite thrilled at the idea and gave Jim a bit of trouble, mostly beacuse she wanted to walk Brinkley, but he likes to roam free back there. She did cheer up eventually though. They ended up having fun. 

Climbing the ladder!

Papa Gymnastics - 173/365

Reagan got a wonderful surprise at Gymnastics today.

 Nana picked her up to take her and it was just a normal class. She was ready to head out on the floor when Papa showed up. He had a really slow morning, so he decided to check it out. He hadn't been able to go before, so he was excited, too!

She loved showing Papa all her moves and especially the rings.

She isn't thrilled with the new summer developments though. They now have bigger classes, so there are three different teachers, which is good. But she said she doesn't like it. She was really close with her winter teacher Miss Mandy, but she's teaching the older kids for the summer.

She'll get settled in eventually.

So excited!

PJ Party & Darius - 134/365

Reagan had a busy day today!

She started at gymnastics doing her favorite stuff... bear crawling and the rings. She loves it!

This evening Jim and Reagan headed over for a little visit at Grandma and Papa Greg's. Reagan wanted to bring her scooter to show them. They were going up and down the street!

She had a PJ party tonight over there, too! She hasn't been able to see them for awhile, so grandma asked if she wanted to come over and spend the night! She had a blast.

Jim just took advantage of the empty house and watched some shows.

This evening, Nana and I were heading to Pittsburgh to see Darius Rucker. We were so excited. It seems every time we got to First Niagara, we hit a rain storm on the way in. At least this time it gave us a beautiful double rainbow to check out. It was amazing!

The show was fantastic as always. Darius is just amazing!

 We had a fun night!

Gymnast!

Sand Dollars, Mermaids & Pirates - 127/365

Busy day today!

Nana and I got up at 6:00am and headed out to the beach. I has still been unlucky in my sand dollar search, until this morning. I FOUND TWO perfect ones. I was absolutely amazing. I was jumping up and down and screaming. I couldn't believe it!

I will cherish them!

The rest of the day was going to be a pool/beach day. We just wanted to soak every minute up before the tropical storm started to roll in.

We had a blast! Reagan was LOVING swimming this year. She loved taking her swimmies off in the shallow end, since she could touch now. We had tons of fun with the water camera, too!

After we hit the pool for awhile, we went up for lunch and the second half of the day would be the beach.

Reagan is really into all things fairies now a days, so she wanted to bring her Tinkerbell outfit and all her fairies. We did a little photoshoot on the beach. It was so cute.

After we spend some time building things in the sand and jumping in the waves. They were getting pretty big from the storm! Reagan saw about teenaged girls, doing handstands and flips on the beach, so she wanted to try, too! Jim was helping her, it was just precious. She loves gymnastics!

This evening, we wanted to do another quick dinner, since the Cavs were on again. We decided to take in the Pirate's Voyage show. It's fairly new in Myrtle, but Reagan has just been too young. We decided this would give it a go. We were SO HAPPY we did. The show was phenominal! They theatrics and animal actors were amazing. Reagan even got picked to be in the show! Jim and another guy had to pull a rope attached to a boat. The kids were in there and floated across the water. Their group even WON! YAY!

Reagan also got a mermaid makeover at the beginning. She was LOVING it! She looked so beautiful.

Fun day!

Sand dollars!

Love her!

MJ in Ohio - 100/365

Today, Reagan and I were off to gymnastics.

She just loves going and especially bouncing on the trampolines. She sure has come a long way since she started!

This afternoon, Jim came home from work early to be with Reagan, while Nana and I took a ride to the Pittsburgh airport to pick up MJ! They practiced a little t-ball on the deck, since our lawn is still a swamp and took Brinkley for a walk. They had fun!

MJ was coming in for the 70's reunion and staying with my mom for a few days. We were just on our way when she texted that she landed. We were still in Boardman, OOPS! Oh well, she didn't mind hanging at the airport till we got there.

We scooped her up and headed to Tippy for dinner. Papa, Jim, Reagan, Ray and Jenny all met us! We had a fun dinner! Reagan was super excited because MJ brought her an Elsa, Build A Bear. She loved it! It was nice to catch up with everyone. We had fun!

Gymnastics!

 T-ball!

 Family fun dinner!

 

Gymnsatics, Movies & Ice Cream - 72/365

Today Nana was going to take Reagan to gymnastics again for me, so I could have a little extra time to rest my leg. Nana loves going to gymnastics and watching her improve every week. She did so good again! She climbed all the way to the top on the rope ladder. She even got to ring the bell this week, because she jumped off the high balance beam by herself! She was so proud!

This evening, Jim and Nikki were going to see a movie. They saw Jupiter Ascending. They both really enjoyed it, especially since it was in 3D. After the movie they ran into Bob Evans real quick for a quick dinner.

While they were off doing that. Reagan and I had a little date night of our own. We went to McDonalds for dinner. Reagan is loving the Barbie promo and then we went for some ice cream at Dairy Queen. She had an Oreo blizzard and I had a Hawaiian one! We had a fun time!

Gymnastics - 325/365

Reagan was still at Nana's this morning. She was going to spend the rest of the day over there, since Mark was still here painting. He was coming along nicely! He got the whole foyer done and our bathroom looks so much better with our modern mirrors! I just love them!
It was hell getting that giant mirror out of the house though! It had to be 8-10 feet long and HEAVY! We have to call someone to cut it in half to get it out of the house. Jim and Mark almost killed themselves trying to carry it down stairs. They got it halfway and said forget it.
It's not worth them getting hurt over.
Reagan and Nana spent the morning playing Hi-Ho Cherry-O before gymnastics. They had a great morning.
Reagan is really doing wonderful in gymnastics. She's come such a long way from when she started. She can do so much on her own now. We're so proud of her!
Hi-Ho Cherry-O game!

Hollywood Day & Gymnastics - 311/365

Today was Hollywood Studios day! 

We wanted to get a picture in front of the hat because there are rumors it's coming down. We don't know when, but we're gonna make sure we get pictures every time, just in case. 

Today we decided to check out the Indiana Jones show! We never do it, because we didn't think Reagan would care for it just yet. We had forgotten how fun it is. It was amazing to re-live it again. They do a great job with all the stunts!

We hung around till the evening, so we could check out the Osbourn Family Festival of Lights. They are so amazing to see. You could stand there all evening and not notice all the details. Before park close, we decided to head over and do Rockin' Roller Coaster. That's another one we don't get to ride together too much since someone always has to stay back with Reagan. It's one of my favorites!

Meanwhile at home, Nana was shuttling Reagan to school and gymnastics! They went and bought some toys for the toy drive and dropped them back off at the school. Reagan loved being able to pick toys out for the raffle basket. 

Everyone had a nice day. 

With the hat!
