Say What?!

Yes People, believe it, I went camping!


Seems like it is hard to believe for most, I am not sure why, do I really seem like I am not the camping type?  I am almost offended by that... almost.  It was lots of fun,  and since John has done this many times before we were very prepared. And since I love to cook camp fire cooking was a new challenge for me, which worked out very well, everyone there loved my jerk chicken... yummm. 

Talk about an exhausting weekend, something about the outdoors drains me.  Between all the Cub Scout activities, kids running everywhere, food preparation, cleaning up, running off to a birthday party...
Busy busy busy.  The boys had a lovely time and Kaiden is excited about the belt loops and patches he earned, little super scout.  

John's little helper...

Me, not so much.
Got the job done.
Nice and cozy.
Dinner? don't mind if I do.
                                                    Whats a campout without smores??

 First night was a bit chliiy so we all had to share extra snuggles.



Definitely a fun camping trip, will do again for sure!


Spent the afternoon with Lisa,


always a good time.
  Got a quick nap, now dinner with Lisa and Matthew, Kaidens BFF.  


Sometimes its hard to keep up with myself! Can't wait for Monday when the kids go back to school and I can get back on my regular schedule for the week!

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...

Mr. and Mrs. John Benham!!!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured.  Can't wait to see the professional ones!                                 Waiting for the go ahead                                         It's time!!                              Everyone ready t...
