A Wonderland of Change.

Where to start...
Zoe Marie is 4 now and loving life as a big sister. She goes to Kids Village and will start Kindergarten this fall. She is very active and requires a lot of entertainment. She starts soccer the end of March.
Zayden Wallace is now 8 months he is getting so big. He is on the move and constantly gets into everything. He loves his sister so very much, she walks in the room and he lights up. He also loves his daddy and his grandpas very much.
Mom aka Lindsey is still a stay at home mom. I love being with my kids all day. I have a new hobby for baking cakes and cupcakes and I am doing my first wedding cake in April. Oh and Spud bought me a new car which I LOVE.
Dad aka Spud is still working at Woody's Body and Paint. He loves it there. he still is all about cars and the outdoors.
We are loving life and the adventures it brings. I have found that it is definitely harder having two kids but Zoe helps out a lot. Well until next time.

34 weeks Pregnant!

Project#3: CARPET INSTALLED!!!!!

Okay so after weeks of waiting my carpet is in YAY! So of our list below and in the previous post they only things not completed are number 3&4.

1. Finish Zoe's room
2. Start and finish Zayden's room
3. Paint the kids bathroom and decorate (ocean/fish theme)
4. Paint the downstairs hall
5. Carpet installed "I AM SO EXCITED"

We are so worn out and so we decided after mutual talking that we would do the kids bathroom the month of June maybe July who knows but it will get done soon. And as for the hall we have painted half of it and that is the next project which will be (hopefully) the end of this month. Spud said he is taking a vacation for two weeks, but he still has to plant his vegetables and cut grass, so his vacation is only from inside remodeling. Thank you Spud for all your late nights and for finishing the most important projects (our kids room's). THANK YOU Pk and Rosie for all your help and late nights we really appreciate it. And now the moment you all have been waiting for.....










First and last picture are Zayden's room, second two are Zoe's room, third two are the living room, the next two are the guest bedroom, then the stairs.

PROJECT #2: Zayden's room!

Well I failed to take before pictures, it was worse off then Zoe'a room. So here is the spill....on Sunday Spud and Pk sheet rocked one wall they had to let it dry then Spud filed in all the holes and had to re texture the walls. Last night Pk came to help Spud paint because carpet is on Friday so they got the blue done then Spud spilled the brown all over the floor so me, Rosie, Pk, and Spud started rolling the paint off the floor to the walls. Needless to say it was a long night. So her are a few pictures.

We do have to paint all the moldings white and the part on the wall/ceiling. Then we will be done with his room.

*NOTE* I will post both Zoe and Zayden's rooms when we finish last minuet touches.

Our first wind storm!

Provo just had a huge wind storm that blew my garden decorations around. So while I was out grabbing them to put in the garage Zoe looked out side. The shingles off my roof were blowing off (because they were not sealed right). Zoe was crying and shaking because she was afraid the how was going to blow down. I felt so bad for her. Now I have to call the insurance to make a claim or Spud will have another project to do.

Project #1: Bead Board!

Okay so Thanks to Pk for helping last night the bead board is hung. Tonight will be caulking and painting the base boards, trim, bead board, and doors. ALMOST THERE!

Project #1: Zoe's New Room!

ZOE'S NEW ROOM

These pictures are the before, I left out the closet ones because there is really nothing to see, So the bedroom is white with no carpet. Spud took off all the baseboards because he is putting up bead board tonight. Her room has a lot of light which is nice and is right next to Zayden's room. She can't wait to move downstairs.

Theses pictures show the painting process. Spud and Zoe did most of it, and yes that is the baby bump at 26 weeks (6mo.) And the last picture is Zoe showing off. So tomorrow I will post the pictures with the bead board and then we wait for carpet on May 6th.

Here is a list of the next few projects with the deadline of May 6th:

1. Finish Zoe's room
2. Start and finish Zayden's room
3. Paint the kids bathroom and decorate (ocean/fish theme)
4. Paint the downstairs hall
5. Carpet installed "I AM SO EXCITED"

I will post before and after pictures of them all.

Planter Boxes!

Today Spud and I took Zoe and my sister Rosie and her son Karson to Home Depot to the kids craft thing. Today since it's supposed to be spring they made planter boxes. After they were finished we took them to the garden center and they picked out flowers for their boxes. Karson wanted red flowers and Zoe wanted yellow and black ones. We came home and put weed guard in the bottom of the box with garden soil and then planted the flowers. Such proud kids!

To top off the day we went to my parents birthday BBQ and I made Oreo cupcakes they were so good!

Fairy Tea Party!

Oh how I love spending time with my little girl. As most of you know Zoe is not a girlie girl, so when she dresses up it truly is special for me. On Friday March 04, 2011 Zoe and I attended the fairy tea party at the Provo City Library.

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful bumble bee fairy named Zoe Marie......

Zoe and the Fairy King. Zoe and the Fairy king and his Fairy's.

Zoe being cute.

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.
