Half Marathon!!

My sister Tricia wanted to do the Sun river half Marathon this year because my Mom and Aunt had done it last year. Well We all hoped on board. So on the 25th of June we met in Sun River Oregon, Mom, Dad, Tricia (sister), Ben (brother) My mom's twin sister Aunt Kate and Our Cousin Debbie! We had such a great time the pictures above are of us all the day before the race!

This score was right before we went to the starting line!

After we finished the race!! ME Trishy Bennyboy

Mom & Dad

Ben had a monkey tail beard under the nose around the chin and off to the right. Can't see it super great in this picture. Just thought it was funny.
We all did awesome!

My Garden

Well I have never really had what I consider a real garden. For about 5 or 6 years I have used this Planter box Lincoln built for me. Its held up but its almost done living. Sadly its starting to fall apart. I did plant a garden this year. Two tomato plants one cherry and one big tomato's.
I also tried my luck with carrots and green beans but some of my carrots are not getting enough sun oh well it was worth a try and I still may get some yet.
I also bought a Strawberry plant. Its totally out grown its pot but someday I will transplant it and have a whole patch of yummy strawberries to eat!!

The kids and I decided to be adventurous and we went camping Thursday night!! IN OUR BACKYARD!! Hahahah! All I can say is it was fun Sam didn't last he prefers his own bed. Madee loved it and they both spent quite a bit of time just playing in the tent while it was set up. So if anyone wants to camp out in my backyard this summer we have room for three maybe four tents :)

My Birthday!

Well I had the greatest birthday weekend ever! Lincoln surprised me by having some of our family come out and visit without me knowing. We went to the famous Yakima Miners burger place for lunch saturday and madee jumped out of the car and said there is uncle Ben. I thought it was probably just someone who looked like him but no no it really was him. We were also surprised to see Stacey my cousin as well. Such a great surprise. Lincoln had taken the kids to the store a little earlier to get gifts and well I but you will be jealous of my gifts :)
Sam picked out the brightest orange finger nail polish ever. Its blinding orange but he loves orange and thought it would be the perfect gift.
He Also picked out the coolest card ever BATMAN!!
I did not make my Cake this year!! Yeah for not making your own birthday Cake!! Another awesome surprise.
This was Madee's choice of gifts. She almost got me a frog necklace. Some day I will miss getting cute gifts like this from my kids. (you know the ones they love a little more then I do)
