160th Monthly Photo

Dad finally found out that last disc is what is is pressing on his sciatic nerve causing so much pain after that fall back in August. Just over a week ago, it got worse and I was bedridden for 5 days before Mom took me to the ER. 

Nick, you and I were going to run this Pumpkin 5k, but with me hurt Kevin stepped up and took my place. Proud of you both! 

Memory Lane

Mom and Uncle Todd took you guys and Grandpa Bowman down memory lane to near where they grew up going to see the Cubs play with Grandpa...when they were little.

Nick you obtained a ball!

With me on the DL, you all had to step up - Here is your first time trimming the edges. I had to move the handle way down so you could carry it. 

Nick and the troop went to the Warren Dunes

Your legs were tired when you came home, lots of running up and down the hill. 

The most recent collection of Nick's. 

20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

Mom and I spent a few days in Nashville to celebrate our anniversary. The town has really changed in the 21 years since we became engaged down there. It was great to hang out with my cousin Dory and her husband Tony.  The last time we were on Broadway and at Tootsies, it was Lindsey, Me, bartender and a musician. Times have changed, Nashville is crazy busy these days. Because of my condition we didn’t walk that much, took lots of Ubers. Loved all the live music and printers row!

Cross Country

Jett, Nicks best friend. Teachers have been known to call each other the other persons name. 

Uncle Drew came to town so I called the other Bradley friends to come over. 

Ms Barbera and Kevin, she invited you to walk along side the HS Marching band. You enjoyed yourself!

Kevin's Fall Soccer team. 

Sunny, knowing I've been in hurt has been been spending lots of time with Dad. 

These hoverboards have left lots of damage around the house. However you guys are pretty good on them.

Kevin's final fun run with the school.

Number 21 in the Purple, your first game on the big field Kevin. 

Then we went immediately to a fishing derby. We didn't catch anything. 

A few days later you had a meeting. 

The next weekend Nick and I along with the troop were hiking in Devils Lake WI. Very impressive. 

One of Dads favorite rooms at ABT, we were there buying a new bed.

Dad went on a brewery ride with all these new people. 5 Stops!

We heard the ice cream man, and then we didn't, so you and I went out looking for him. You jumped on your bike, I jumped on your pegs. You were rewarded for your hard work. 

Nick you are in the hat playing some game at Silver Birch Ranch. 

Dad did his first race with a bike, running and swimming. Next year I'll train in swimming so I don't hang on the lifeguards kayaks haha

My results, I plan on shaving 10 minutes. 

You called yourself - The Professional Gamer

Two dudes, eating dinner they made. 

When screens are lost or over, its amazing what you guys come up with and play. 

He's back! Now a Bodyguard. 

I took the kids mountain biking at the Forge. It was fun but no need to do it again. 

They also had some games like axe throwing and archery tag. 

And then of course I found the local ice cream shop. 

Dad's coworkers. 

First day of School!!! 

Nicks in 8th, Kevin's in 5th. 

It was the same day as Mom and Dads birthday. Nick went off to school and we went out to breakfast with Kevin. 

I was shocked when I came into the office!! They were celebrating my birthday. 

Mom and Dad celebrating our birthday weekend. 

Cousin Raegan was in town. She beat you by one. 

You ranked up. 

This weekend we went back in time, 35 years exactly to East Troy Wisconsin! To my favorite ice cream parlor and to the lake I used to visit my Aunt, Uncle and cousin’s on. My cousin Deb and her family joined us later that day!

I rented on boat. The lake house was gone, four new home went in its place. 

We did some fishing. 

Cousin Deb

YES we had ice cream twice, now with my cousins family!

And so it begins, fall sports. Kevin's soccer and Nick starts cross country running.
