A Gift to the World

The boys have been excellent secret keepers (I have trained them well). They have known about his gifts for about 3 weeks now and Ethan helped me get them all wrapped up and beautiful. They get so excited when we do something special for John, they love and appreciate him so much, as do I. I wish I could do way way more for him, he has been so understanding while I have been slacking the past few months.

John is the most deserving person of all things GREAT, WONDERFUL, FABULOUS, SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, and instead he's stuck with me!! lol!! Just kidding. I think he would argue that I am all the above (I try to be...since that's what he deserves). He is kind, sweet, caring and what I love most about him is that he is always looking to grow as a person. Hopefully we will continue to grow together and that I will spend everyone of his birthdays with him till his very last.

Birthday morning opening presents.

That evening we had a few friends and family over for appetizers and cake.

Mummy got John such a sweet gift, it very appropriately signifies a new chapter.
Before After

In one of my favorite love songs of all time the lyrics are, "And I find myself thanking your mother, for giving birth to a saint, my spirit flies when I say your name. If there's one thing that's true, it's that I was born to love you.". Your birthday has been a gift to the world. I love you.

Long Awaited

Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.

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...

Because Of You

Daddy, because of you I...well, exist. Because of you I know I am special because you told me every day.Because of you I made it through some really hard times, you were and are still always there for me. Because of you I always know I have a friend to listen that always has my back. Thanks for letting me watch T.V. when I wasn't allowed to, bringing me home chocolates and pepsi (which was a BIG deal back then). Thank you for everything you have done for me, and I hope you know how much I love you. Jesse, because of you I have the 2 most wonderful little boys in the world. I know we may not always see eye to eye but when it comes to our boys we can always come together and do what is best for them and I appreciate that, and I am sure when they are old enough to understand what we do for them, so will they. John, because of you the boys have a good role model. Because of you I get to show them by example what a loving, caring relationshi...
