You look like you need a hug! 

Hi.... 

Leiya loves to take baths! 

Today is Leiya's 1 Month birthday, as you can tell by the party hat, it was an expensive party! 

WARNING: When hungry, Leiya thinks anything is a nipple..... 

She's only been here a little over a week and already she's taken over mommy's side of the bed.... 

God gave us the best Christmas present ever.. and He put her in our stocking!!!! Merry Christmas from Ryan, Carla, Leiya, Cookie and Blender! 

He knows when you are sleeping..........Merry Christmas everyone!!! The Bentons 

My mom with Leiya 

And now introducing our newest member!! 

Isn't she beautiful, sound asleep. 

Tired, drained and out of tears, we are still as happy as can be! We thank God for giving us the strength to get through these wonderful nine months and for giving Carla the extraordinary courage she had! Good job babe!!! 

Carla's mother, a seasoned grandmother, fell in love with this one too! 

Tanna and Nancy our OB Tech and Nurse, who by pure chance, happen to be the best at what they do!!! Thank you two for all that you did for us!!! 

And last but not least, here is the man who helped us through the nine months!! Dr. Hickox was the best doctor we could have wished for for this special event in our life! Thanks Doc!!! 

Tis the season! Happy Holidays everyone! Baby Benton is ready to go!!! 

My sister April and Jennifer, both of whom threw this shower for me. Thanks to my sisters and all of my friends who made this day special, there were too many of you to put all of the pictures on here.. 

Some students that Mrs. Benton taught, Gianna, my neice Kaelyn, Yesenia, Cailynne and Savannah....
