What do you do with a box?

Well, if the box is as big as a Dishwasher (Thank You Grandma)

you turn it in to a house (Thank You Daddy)

I wanted to include the picture below because it's the 1st picture taken of Corey with his 3 kids. I tried to get them all to look at the camera and give a great smile but REALLY ???

It wasn't gonna happen.

So, here's the Kiddle Boys & the Kiddle Princess.

WELCOME Reegan Michelle Kiddle

We are so blessed and so lucky to have our beautiful, healthy, happy little girl to complete our family. She was born on February 19, 2012 at 1:39am. Here's the datails of our day leading up to her grand entrance ...

Corey and I had spent the day on Saturday (the 18th) running a few errands. About 4pm we were walking thru Walmart and I could tell I was starting to have contractions a bit stronger then "normal" and a bit closer then "normal". I told Corey we needed to head home so I could lay down or take a bath (both things usually calmed the pain down). By the time we got home I started to realize that my best option was to go on in to the hospital. So, my mom kept Beckham (I'm so blessed to have her here and for all the help she gives me with the kids) and off to the hospital Corey and I went.

We were there about 2 1/2 hours being monitored, and checked on for progress. I was nervous that they would send me home, and we'd end up driving right back in the middle of the night, but we were progressing and I was doing well with preparing for delivery. I had time to call Lindsay and let her know what was going on. She found a ride to the hospital from Logan and was there by midnight. We thought there was no way she'd make it in time for Reegan's delivery, but she did ! At 1:39am on Sunday February 19th little Ms. Reegan Michelle was born. I had a wonderful experience at Intermountain with all of the nurses, Dr. Melissa Brown who delivered Reegan, and the facility itself. By far The Best Hospital I had any of the kids at.

At home being cute

At first, Reegan did not like her bath ... being naked ... OR having her diaper changed.

Now, she can get thru all 3 with no tears (most of the time)

Life is good with the comfort of Daddy & Mickey Mouse

watching everyone while cozy in brothers handy down PJ's

 Lindsay lovin' on Reegan

 Lindsay took the picture above in the hospital. The blanket Reegan is laying on

 blanket my mom crochet' for them

 to climb on the window ledge to get this great picture pose!

some new pics of some old happenings

I had asked Lindsay to send me some pictures I knew she had on her awesome camera or her I Phone. She just sent them to me so I thought I'd post a few of my favs !

Christmas Day 2011

OK ... So these last 2 pics are of Beckham with the BIGGEST goose egg on his forehead. Back in December, Matthew was chasing Beckham around the house and somehow he ran into something or fell on something or something jumped out at him or I don't know what because the next thing I know I heard Beckham scream and the outcome was a giant goose egg. Thankfully he was OK and within 24 hours the swelling had gone down and all that's left is a very small mark. I'm sure it won't be the last wound this kid gets ... He's not the most graceful kid on the block LOL



B

I'm not sure what the limit is on posting pics and EVERY post being about your kid(s), but what's a mom to do ? Beckham has his famous ever so cute stand when he puts his hands behind his back. It's just so darn cute.

ANd then he has this ever so NOT cute cry and whine  ....

FUN IN THE TUB

BATH TIME

Beckham really enjoys taking his nightly bath. He doesn't always like to sit down, so I've taught him to "swim swim swim ..." which gets his lil bum wet and I'm able to wash him up pretty good. Corey has taught him to blow bubbles, which is just so darn cute!





My word for the year 2012

Each year I try to come up with a word to focus on and think about. In 2010 the word was FAMILY. In 2011 the word was CHANGE.

Now, for 2012 the word for the year is POSITIVITY

I don't know what it is, but I really can't stand negativity, complaining, or what sounds to be ungratefulness coming from someone around me (especially when it's a friend or family member or MYSELF). Now, don't get me wrong ... There is a time to lament and get some frustration out HOWEVER, I want to stay positive and focus on the good rather then engage in negativity. This is going to be a daily effort on my part. To catch myself when I begin to look at the negative rather then focus on all of my blessings and the positive. I have a whole year to perfect it (kinda perfect it ... OK, I mean work on it). I have so much to be thankful for. I have so many blessings to count and acknowledge. I don't want to waste time in my life that I can NEVER get back complaining about negative things, people, or people's actions. When something challenging presents itself ... I want to be positive. When I'm struggling ... I want to remember all of the positive in my life. When I am around negativity ... I want to be able to have the strength to recognize it and not take part in it.

Life is good ... and I want to be Happy and Grateful because I am so truely blessed beyond measure.

A Beckham post

 I just really love this sweet picture of Beckham drinkin' his juice.

 He's so talkative ... so curious ... 15 months old and ALL BOY!

We have a park by our house and Beckham ♥ LOVES ♥ LOVES ♥ LOVES ♥ to be outside.

Uncle Kevin has been taking him for loooooooooong walks around the neighborhood.

He cries when the walk is over and it's time to come inside

 (even if he's been on an hour + walk)
