April, May, June, July -Review in Pictures


It has been a really really long time since I've been here and done the monthly Review In Pictures. 5 months to be exact. You may want to pull up a chair, if you follow me on Instagram, you've probly seen a lot of this, and it might be a bit boring.

APRIL


After Tallon bought his own house and moved out,
we now need to decide what to do with this room. 

We had a pretty good storm, that knocked down several of our
old pine trees. This one was dead already.

The storm left us with no power for several days
We managed just fine.
The generator ran our fridge and freezer.

Tallon had a power pole fall and land in his yard/across his driveway.
 It was a pretty big one, the kind with the big transformers on them.
We had to take him some candle sand supplies,
since he was trapped in the house.

It's still chilly out, but the dogs are going stir crazy,
so we walk.

Everybody is going stir crazy!

Maddy started having these horrible stomach issues
and was in major pain.
Stella took good care of her though

Maddy had several medical testsdone

Everything turned out to be normal and she stopped having the pain
It was a very strange thing...

Painted the bedroom floor black.

Took a trip to the U.P. with my brother to visit my
dad who has been dealing with Cancer and was in hospital

First trip for ice cream this season!!!

Naps with dogs

Despite the temps., motocross season has begun

We are at Valley Motocross in Stanton, MI
Soooooo Happy they were able to Open this season!!!!
WOOP WOOP!!! 

Dogs are happy to be at the track

Being a dog is such a rough life

Headphones generally mean she's going for a walk
(or he's mowing lawn or working out)

new running tights

Chris, Tallon, Ryan

Stella made new friends with a cute little Pit Bull puppy

She played soooo good with her.

If you are at the races and have no tv service,
you stream the outdoor national Motocross on your phone
while eating Doritos

Racing is tough on everyone... 

Drug Brittany to spin class with me!

Farmers MArket is Open

Read some good books

Ryan had the honor of going to Texas to race

He also got to help drive this beast!!

He had a great time and met some great people.

And he won a cool trophey.

Tallon adopted/rescued a dog, her name is ZOE.

She's about One yr old. and needed a new home.

We watched from the front yard of Tallons new house.
Great view!!!

Stella loves her some plastic bottles.
We were at the race track

Maddy runs, I bike cuz I'm too slow to keep up


Bought myself some flowers
at the Farm Market

My Dad died and my very thoughtful MIL
sent me flowers

The amber waves of grain
My backyard! 

Tallon inherited a (Forest Gump) lawn mower
from my dad.

Stella has decided that she is NOT a fan of riding in the camper
and when it was time to leave the races this weekend, she was NOT
having it!!!! it was hilarious, even if it was naughty!!!

Ryan's buddy Mike was here, from out of state, to visit.

The pumpkin plant grows!!!

I finally got a heat run to one of the upstairs rooms
We've lived in this house for 14yrs. 

The hot contractor who installed the heat run!
Yep, it's my hubby!!!

Ryan doing a little physical therapy on his back

The dogs discovered a woodchuck living under the garage.

Decorated the camper, for Tallons Birthday

Decorated his bike too...

We all got him some new gear.

Brittany & Tallon

Blurry pics of Ryan racing

Tallon & Brittany heading to the line

A big rain/hail storm came through while we were at the Race track

The camper was rather crowded with 7 adults, and 3 big dogs.
They ended up canceling the races for the remainder of the day, cuz it rained so much.

Finally they cut the wheat and the dog walks into the field can resume.
They LOVE walking to the back of the field.

Set myself up a little paint table out behind the garage.

Picked my Dad up from the funeral home.

Stella is Completely freaked out by the giant bails of straw!!!

And there you have it. April through July in Review, through the lens of a camera. August should be up very soon, and hopefully from here on out, I'm going to post these reviews at the end of each month.
