Man of many Talents

I have been so busy, which seems to be the usual trying to keep 2 little energetic boys entertained.
  I never want to hear "I'm bored!" So we try and fill their little lives with activities.
  I love fall! It has fun, outdoor inexpensive activities with the perfect weather to enjoy it all to the fullest.

Evening walks after dinner, he tells the kids scary stories.

 Hush yah baby, don't listen to him, there are no monsters in the bushes, and those are not monster footprints in the grass.

 Took Kaiden to a scout looperama in Dahlonega, our little up and coming photographer Ethan took this while waiting for Kaiden to complete earning his belt loops.
 Only in North GA!
 Since we were already up that way next stop was the pumpkin patch.
 Admiring his talents.  He is so good at everything he does. =)
 And the grand finale!! John did such a great job copying these patterns.
Thank you sooooo much! No other pumpkins we make can ever top this. 
They are even looking into each others eyes.
 All that in just a 24 hour period, I was exhausted!!
Ethan had insisted he wanted to learn to play golf.
A much simpler day, where I could relax and just watch.
Again, man of many talents, story teller, artist, pumpkin carver, golf tutor...
Kaiden is AMAZING at this! He definitely needs to keep it up.
 Ethan on the other hand had some serious golf rage.
There was frustration, crying, yelling.  John explained to him that this isn't the first time he has seen this on the golf course, its normal.
He told them a story about a man he used to play with who always cheated and justified it by being the one that paid for the game, which sometimes gave John some serious golf rage!
They thought it was really funny that John used to get upset and throw/break clubs at this insanity!
Ethan laughed and promised that next time he won't get mad or cry, he will just let his brain tell him to try harder.
Good day yesterday, John came home early and we got to spend lots of extra time together. =)  Fresh baked gooey brownies, glass of milk by candle light while watching Casper the Movie? Don't mind if I do!
Love my Life.

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...
