Nothing Says Halloween Like...

Carving pumpkins!

We had an amazing Halloween party over the weekend and I didn't even take one picture.
Yes, me, Rebecca Benham, not one picture (I do have a video of the haunted house experience), but I totally regret it.

So I decided we would have lots of pictures of us carving our pumpkins last night.

So. Much. Fun.

Everyone got so into it, and I really think the pumpkins turned out really well.

There is something magical about Halloween and carving pumpkins. It always reminds me of the night John met the boys, it was in October and we had Halloween flashlights, kids playing chase with the lights off running around while their special flashlights made shadows in the shape of bats and pumpkins.
The smell of a fresh cut pumpkin.
I love all of it. And I am so happy we have these great pics for memories.
Be sure to check out the video at the end, it's pretty dark, but thanks to everyone that made it a very memorable night!!

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...
