Boys Double Birthday

Since the boys birthdays are only 2 days apart its always a whirlwind and then it's suddenly over.

On Kaiden's birthday he was in a State Science competition which took up most of the day, then we rushed over to a friends for a crawfish boil.

The in between day we had a surprise party for them. After church John took them to a movie and me and my sister set up the decorations, all their friends cam and we waited.

When they came in through the garage I counted to 3 and we all jumped up yelling, "SURPRISE!!!"

They were much more surprised than I even expected and it got to the point where I was worried about Kaiden.
He clutched his heart with one hand, grabbed the kitchen counter with the other and tried to catch his breath. It was so cute and funny but after 4 minutes and he was still holding his heart and closing his eyes and breathing heavy I started to worry.
Luckily he was fine. When I asked what he thought he said, "Murderers!!"

And then there is Ethan's Birthday. After school his friends came over for cupcakes, then swim practice, followed by us taking him out for his favorite food, pizza.

And now I get to relax until next year.
(Probably not, I always have lots of plans for our family.)

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.
