Ridiculous

Since I've passed my 6 week mark (Beckham is actually 7 weeks) I decided to take up running again. I've been quite excited. My sisters are training for the St. George Marathon and it's been painful watching them and hearing them talk about running all the time and not being able to do anything. So, this week was my week to start. Let's review. Monday: Beckham lets me sleep about four hours (yay!) so 7:30 wasn't too bad to get out the door. Okay, this was a bad day to start up. The wind was yucky, and seemed to be in my face with every turn. Tuesday: could hardly walk and wanted to cry with the pain. Wednesday: walking (and moving) was surprisingly more painful than the day before. Thursday: 2nd attempt at my three mile run. Things went much better and I felt good all day. Friday: 3rd attempt at the three miles. Beckham and I had a pretty rough night, so I wasn't feeling too much energy. At two and a half miles I started dry heaving. Seriously??? Two miles and I'm fake throwing up on the side of the road? This is ridiculous.

Best Thing Ever

This totally made my day today and I've watched it approx. 17 times. Love it! You will too:)
P.S. It works better if you don't view it full screen.


I got a feeling video on Oprah

fun times with the cousins

My sisters and their kids are in town for a while and the kids have been having a blast together. Things get pretty crazy with everyone together. Examples:

Caleb & Reagan after playing in the irrigation water on Grandpa's farm.

Poor Caleb. He has been outnumbered by girls for so long. We're glad Gavin's around to help him be more of a boy. Hopefully the damage can be undone:)

Silly kids.

Gavin brought his trampoline from Texas and it's been a huge hit. Any bets who gets injured first?

Baby Paige lovin life. She's not quite old enough yet to really play with the kids, but when she is, watch out!

Tatum, Tater-bug, Tug, this girl has a lot of nicknames. She's a little angel.

They've been told maybe a million times not to get into Aunt Breanne's makeup. See how well they listen?

Lots of Pictures

I know I've turned into an infrequent blogger. In my defense 1) I have a newborn and 2) I don't have the internet. So, to catch up on the past few weeks, here are some pictures of my cute family (in random order):

Beckham (on the right) and my cousin Nate's little boy Kade. Future best buds.

Beckham at four weeks.

Cute little family. Beckham has Jada's shape of eyes and Caleb's color. Pretty crazy.

Casey went to Lake Powell for a week and totally ate this kid up when he got home. That was a LONG week. I told him he's never allowed to leave again.

He missed his kids. We miss the mustache! (Yes, he did win the bet:)


Here's one last look at it. Goodbye mustache!

Jada's first day of preschool. She's loving her new school and teacher.

Beckham and Grandma Jepson. She comes over and holds him for hours.

What a good big brother, holding the binkie in Beckham's mouth. Jada and Caleb are so helpful with the baby, I love it.

Beckham Week #1

We've had such a great week since Beckham was born. What an angel he is! I love him to pieces. I thought I'd have a really hard time adjusting to having a newborn again, but it has been great. My week of recovery, however, has not been the best. C-section #2 has been a much harder recovery than #1 was. I'm just starting to feel like myself again, and each day is ten times better than the day before. This sweet little angel makes it totally worth it, though.

He sleeps so well on my bed, not so much in his own.

Casey loves his little boy.

After getting his numbing shots for his circumcision. His look says it all.

Caleb loves having the baby around, but he isn't really loving not being the baby anymore.

Jada is a little mommy and takes such good care of him. She loves to hold him and sing to him.

Baby No-Name Has Arrived!

I (Kaelee) am posting for Heather to let everyone know that she had her baby today. She went into labor early this morning, I think around 3 am, and had the baby by c-section at 10:32 am. Heather was having a lot pain this morning from the c-section but this evening when we went she was feeling much better. The baby is quite adorable and has a perfectly shaped head! He was 7 pounds 8 ounces and 18 inches long. He's considered preterm since he is 4 weeks early. I thought I had a picture of just him but I took that one with Heather's camera. This is the family looking at him through the window at the nursery. I'm sure there will be many more pictures to come, and also hopefully a name!
