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.

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.
