Great Stirrup Cay

Our first stop on our Bahamian cruise was Great stirrup Cay, which is the ships private island.

It was very relaxing for John and I, and loads of fun for the kids.

Kids had dinner with us most nights, but one night they ate with the other kids at the kids club, which they loved.

Ethan insisted on going straight back to the room after dinner. His favorite part about being on the ship was ordering "free" brownies all night long.
He would call and order and then call back and say, "Excuse me, my brownies weren't warm, could you please bring me warm brownies?"
So cute and funny, and at least he was always polite!

P.S. Hope all you Island people notice all de powder in de baby neck, lol!

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...

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.

Rachael Emily-Baby Naming

The hardest part about having a child for me is finding a name. I have been dreading the naming process, that is why we started so early. I didn't get a name for Ethan until I went into labor and was hoping that would not be the case this time. I am a super organized control freak kind of person so it has been stressing me out. We decided to go to Barnes and Noble to give it another try. While searching, and hating every name, I re-suggested a name that I have loved for a long time and we decided! Yay! I was SO excited! I still am so excited. I never would've guessed we would find a name so soon. For now I will announce the middle names and save her name for her birth announcement. The middle names are Rachael Emily. Rachael is to honor my lovely sister that passed 8 years ago. She is my heart. Emily is my little sisters middle name, and she is my everything. My 2 favorite people balled up into one precious angel, our daughter. =) Celebrate with a pum...
