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!!

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.
