Boys Birthdays

This week has been incredibly busy.  Kaidens birthday was the 17th and Ethan the 19th.  Especially since their birthdays are so close I try to make them each feel special on THEIR day, and then we are having a big pool party on Sunday for both of them.
On their birthday morning they come down to a decorated house with a few of their gifts and a cake...



Then next is going to their school for cupcakes and a small celebration....
Apparently at Ethans school kids aren't allowed to use the monkey bars until they are 5, so the teacher and all the kids took him out to the playground, crown and all, everyone gathered around while Ethan got his first try on the monkey bars!
THEN (yes, there's more!)
After school all the neighborhood kids come over to play, have some cake etc.






The week has all in all been WONDERFUL and I am so happy for the boys.  Secretly I can't wait for the weekend and party stuff to be over, I stress myself out trying to make everything perfect for them, they definitely deserve the best, they are such good boys.

Star Wars Birthday Party

It's that time of year for the boys double birthday party!! Since I... I mean they are so into star wars that was the obvious choice of a party theme. It was so cute at the end of the party after the boys opened all their gifts and John says, "Well, what did Mummy and I get you?"  They both shrugged.  I said, "We got you this beautiful party, and that is your gift." They both hugged us and said thank you without even complaining that we didn't buy them anything, such gracious boys! Then John brought out their bikes and they went crazy!! It was the cutest thing. Happy Birthday to our wonderful boys, Happy 7th and 9th Birthday Ethan and Kaiden!

And the Fun Begins

On Sunday, March 11th, we welcomed our newest family member.  Amalia Rachael Emily Benham. It all began Saturday morning.  I had signs of labor but we had the Pinewood Derby so I hoped she would wait.  And of course, she did. Contractions started coming in very slowly and Mummy and Binx came over.  We hung out, and hung out, and hung out and the contractions weren't getting stronger but slowly moving closer together.  We all finally took naps then we started hanging out again.  Finally at 12am we decided to go to the hospital. 3 cm dilated and I was admitted. Kindle, my bff of course came to the hospital as well.  All our biggest supporters were there. Waiting for Baby  Getting some well needed rest. Last moments before birth  My contractions never got  intense before the epidural kicked in, thank goodness.  Somehow my left side didn't kick in so I could feel it all on that side, but because I have back labor and I co...
