Benjamin’s last year in the 40’s!

Benjamin and I did his traditional birthday hike the day before. We went up to Mount Lemmon and did a 5 mile hike. We found water and great views. On his actual birthday we had the boys and Grandma babs over and my parents for pizza subs. Then the Smiths, Landsdown-Howe, Dan and Jared and Franklin came over for dessert. I love to celebrate this fun loving, adventure seeking and faithful man. He has four more states to visit to reach his 50 states by 50. Let's go!!

Papa turns 77

Dad turned 77! What a year, what a guy! Everyone came into town to celebrate. He had all of his children present. We ate at Olive Garden and then went to the movies. We then went to mom and dads place for desserts made by Lindsey. It's so fun living so close to family and I feel extremely blessed to have my dad as my father. He works hard, is honest and faithful...we appreciate him so much. Love you dad!!
