Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree!

Christmas 2010

This year marks our first Christmas in our new home. We are so thankful for our home and for our family.

As many of you know our little Zoe is just amazing, she is in preschool and doing so good. She is very excited for her new baby to join our family. She is the biggest helper any mom could ask for. She loves to dance, sing, and pretty much anything that requires movement. When we ask her who's girl she is she replies I am all your girl. We are so blessed to have her in our family.

Spud is still working for Woody's and he loves it this May he will be there for 3 years. He works hard everyday and we love him for it.

I have been working full time for a plasma donation center as a Phlebotomist. I stay busy with being a mom, wife, and keeping up the house. I can't wait for Dec. 17 so I can find out more about this pregnancy. I have had major issues and went to the doctor to find out what was going on and she told me I was pregnant. We are so happy that God is blessing us once again. I will keep you all posted.

We hope that you all have a Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! Here are a few pictures to hold you over.



Love,
The Beckstrom's

Thanksgiving!

I am so very grateful for ll the Lord has blessed my family with. This year has brought us so much, a happy healthy family, a new job for me, a secure job for Spud, a new house, and most of all a happy little girl who loves life. This month has really made me think about The sacrifice Jesus made for all of us and how we forget to give him all the glory in the ups and downs of our lives. I hope this month encourages you all to remember Jesus and be thankful for his sacrifice and the lives that he has given us.

Sick Kids!

I hate when Zoe is sick she is not herself. she has a temp. of 102.5 and throwing up so please pray for her to recover quickly and to get back to her happy active self.

*Pumpkinland*

So every year we take Zoe to Vineyard Nursery where they host Pumpkinland. Not only do they have the best home grown vegetables but the nicest pumpkins(I did not do garden this year because of the move). Anyways every year farmer Dan makes a corn maze with little riddles, and fun little things. Once you find your way out, (Zoe took us to one dead end and then found her way right out), you then are taken to the petting zoo and a bunch of fort looking things, then to the bounce houses, after that you go through a dark room with tons of halloween lights. After all the excitement you head back to the pumpkin patch and can choose any pumpkin you want. So we got our pumpkins and I bought some fresh tomatoes to.










We had a blast and then today we finlly put up all the halloween decorations and hung out with the family it was a fun weekend.

Almost time!

Well as most of you know my baby girl will be turning 3 on Oct. 23. I am so excited we just got all of the stuff for her party and we will be taking her 3 year old pictures this week. Anyways all is good here if I did not get an invite to you please come its just my spacy brain her party will be Saturday Oct. 23 at 12 noon at my house text me for the address.

The update

Hello everyone it has been awhile. Okay so where to start, I have officially graduated from college as valedictorian, Zoe will be three this October wow how time flies, and the biggest news is that Spud and I are buying our first home this month we close on Aug. 20 so please pray for that. Other then crazy busy schedules and an awesome vacation we are doing good. We just returned from our 10 day road trip to California where we camped on San Clemente beach for 5 days and enjoyed siting on the beach and watching the dolphins, yes we even boogie boarded which was so fun. We took Zoe to Disneyland and had a blast, my mother-in-law goes so much that she had it down to the second and we did not wait more then 10 to 20 min for a ride although we did wait 35 min for Zoe to meet the fairy's from Tinkerbell oh and Tinkerbell her self. After that we headed up to Big Bear Lake, CA where we spent the rest of our trip with my mom and step dad. We relaxed shopped and ate good home cooked food. I don't care who you nobody can cook like mama. Zoe also received another name from my step dad he calls her George as in curious George because she gets into everything so at one point she would scream "MY NAME IS GEORGE MY MOMMY GAVE ME THE WRONG NAME". We are now home and have a little less then 3 weeks before moving day. I will post pic's soon. Love you all and God Bless.

ER again!

This trip we found out that Zoe has broken her leg and will be casted on Tues. morning right now she is in a hard splint so please just pray for her pain to go away and that she will be at ease with not being able to move until Tues.

Potty Training Success!

Day one and a half of potty training boot camp has been a success leaving us with only 4 accidents the whole day. Better luck tomorrow! Zoe has definitely been a champ and we are very proud of her. I just can't wait for the end (which by the looks of it will be soon).

March is here!

Wow so I can't believe that it is already March and yet so many birthday, here is the list of people who have march birthdays.......
Spud, his mom, and his sister share the same day, my sister, step-mom, brother, and my dad.
That's kind of like June for us.....
Our 5 year anniversary is on the 3rd, my nephew turns 13, I turn 27, my niece and other nephew turn 4, and I graduate on the 24th. WOW!
So you can see we have quite the birthdays. I am so excited Spud's family does a beach trip every year to California and this year just his Grandma and her kids will be having a reunion that same weekend so Spud's sister and brother and their families from Montana will be there and all of Spud's 10 siblings, and to top it off we will all be going to Disneyland YEAH! Zoe has never been so it will be fun and you can't beat free Disneyland tickets(go to disneyland.com and click on the give a day get a day) we are all very excited and are looking forward to this summer for lot's of camping, and family fun.

Zoe's Surgery!

So as many of you know Zoe had to have tubes put in both ears earlier today, oh and have a small part of a baby wipe removed from her right nostril. FUN! Anyways she was given Verstead to calm her down before she went back and had the mask put on. While waiting for them to come take her Spud, my dad, and I had a pretty good laugh watching Zoe, see for yourself.....


HAHAHAHAHA it's enough to make you want to watch it over and over.

After her surgery she went back to her hyper self, getting into everything and trying to help, this video explains it all.....


Anyways on a serious note Zoe is free of the baby wipe HAHAHAHA and her ears seem to be good. Of course she would never let us know otherwise because she is a trooper. I love my baby so much and I am glad that she did good and that hopefully we will not have any more ear problems. Thanks for all the prayers.

So we just found out on Sunday that our friends are selling their house. I about died I just got my house unpacked and put away, and now I have to pack it all back up. Anyways we found a cute 2 bedroom house in Provo that is about 3 blocks away from Spuds work. It is perfect Zoe loves that it has a fenced in back yard for her to run around in, and my sister is moving a block away so it will be nice. So for the new address please call me and I will get it to you and pictures will come soon I promise. Oh and I love you mom!
