Happy Birthday To Me!

I have been so busy with other things that my birthday snuck up on me so suddenly.
I woke up feeling a bit "off" and came out to a fully decorated living and dining room.
John so sneakily got out of bed and set everything up for me.
Then time for presents!
The boys told me they were making my present, I had no clue what it was but I did not think it would be as good as this.
I LOVE my hand carved heart shaped rocks!
John tries to stay away from buying me clothes, but he saw this Darth Vader hot pink T and knew it was right for me!
Then a "gift card" for a full day of shopping in Dubai! Umm, yes please!
We ate at the Cheesecake Factory there which is always nice because while you eat you look out to the aquarium.
THEN my family back home put money in my account to add to the shopping day.
Let's just say I spent my birthday in the largest most amazing mall in the world doing one of my favourite things, shopping!
And in my old age I was so exhausted that I couldn't make it out to dinner so we ordered in my favourite food and met my friends at the beach club for a little while to celebrate a bit.
They were all so sweet giving me flowers, even the boys friends got me flowers!
Everyone made me feel so special and the boys were extra extra sweet.
Thank you so much everyone for making my Birthday AMAZING. I love you all!

P.S. Excuse the "1" candle, I bought 4 different ones for Amalia's birthday and these were the only candles we had. John claims that the "1" stand for #1 Mummy, #1 daughter, #1 sister and last but not least #1 wife! =)

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...

No Rest For The Weary

Yesterday was sweet and sad, and maybe a bit boring. Amalia woke up with a fever and insisted on sleeping right on top of me on and off all day. Even though she was sick, and I did feel a bit cruel and selfish, I pulled out my camera and got to clicking. I simply won't give her a break! But it was worth it. Look how sweet and peaceful she looked only an hour before she threw up on me. She is the prettiest little girl and oh so sweet. I love photographing her. She still has a bit of a temperature today so it seems I am back on "pamper the baby even more than normal" duty. My job is to lay on the couch and be her bed, her comfort, and anything else she may need. And today I will give her a break from her modeling duties. I have the best job in the world. I love my kids.

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.
