The same year I dated my sweetheart. 14 years since I sang in Madrigals my senior year. I never knew back then how much I was going to miss it. Went to the concert tonight. There were some really good moments in there where I cried because I remember how much I missed it. . I miss the music, the people, H. I miss singing everyday really really challenging music and making it sound amazing. I will never have that again in my life. But I am grateful I have my memories. ....and I got a husband out of it too :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-bT9Yp9BaU_8Us4ojybNottIMnVSOlDPlg0U-culFggNIGoLOtweY6oTSluBVk_HM3JGPkRtMSdNxFWKiPRKU7MlmWe64zbrt82ZVybbHUZ82U2lKqIVG0BSDhgBLe1Oiepb8byT9ok/s1600/220379_10150178295892698_741172697_6671041_7619603_o.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 395px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-bT9Yp9BaU_8Us4ojybNottIMnVSOlDPlg0U-culFggNIGoLOtweY6oTSluBVk_HM3JGPkRtMSdNxFWKiPRKU7MlmWe64zbrt82ZVybbHUZ82U2lKqIVG0BSDhgBLe1Oiepb8byT9ok/s320/220379_10150178295892698_741172697_6671041_7619603_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610134686797942626" border="0" /></a>The Beckstrom'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18155459437318161049noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740405273138921172.post-12540568098258075972011-05-18T12:26:00.003-06:002011-05-18T12:39:26.245-06:00PARTY PARTY PARTY!Carter's Birthday party was a huge success, tons of fun!

No one will get sick...<br /><br />Until two weeks later....<br /><br />Oliver had pink eye...the morning we were to take him in to see a doc, he grabbed the curling iron and burned the majority of his entire right hand. So we took him in. ON top of all that, he had a double ear infection as well. Ugh...it cant get any worse. Well, it did. the Doc gave us meds for his infections, but also referred us to Primary Children's Burn Clinic for his hand. Yup I guess it was that bad. SO we set it all up....I didnt think it could get any worse...and all the while $$ signs are the only thing I can see.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfE7JY63HXABmb6gWXmsNJmF1vhFcJrwOamx1h-uDHmR4-qjbmFdRvBdy2kBqRNGEnTppjcJQAUF18aJ7LYYnfBx4oMUw1sIz5iB-WYbqNwQmsZHXdrRKH_J3EmqOip-KChhvbS1-x5hk/s1600/134101_10150092141161069_741626068_6019723_1906584_o.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfE7JY63HXABmb6gWXmsNJmF1vhFcJrwOamx1h-uDHmR4-qjbmFdRvBdy2kBqRNGEnTppjcJQAUF18aJ7LYYnfBx4oMUw1sIz5iB-WYbqNwQmsZHXdrRKH_J3EmqOip-KChhvbS1-x5hk/s320/134101_10150092141161069_741626068_6019723_1906584_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607448628008333778" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjw-ecE5I88AX86qcxHYxgKWP-m2CZ8krh-RSTyvziG_JgyMc9mTQ-5GKQHu6te-Rs7nFlsmRjRb4JWQcpV0ByamJKOtK5bH3Mm9ScZGblcX-W6ID8nvUz7hEIrIjVgNXPhSFUoY0DJS4/s1600/170153_10150092230471069_741626068_6020856_7366776_o.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjw-ecE5I88AX86qcxHYxgKWP-m2CZ8krh-RSTyvziG_JgyMc9mTQ-5GKQHu6te-Rs7nFlsmRjRb4JWQcpV0ByamJKOtK5bH3Mm9ScZGblcX-W6ID8nvUz7hEIrIjVgNXPhSFUoY0DJS4/s320/170153_10150092230471069_741626068_6020856_7366776_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607449073409408194" border="0" /></a><br />This whole while, I felt like I was having an ache in my stomach, but I didnt think anything of it.<br /><br />Then....when I awoke with the most horrendous pain right underneath my sternum. It felt like...well, like a gallstone except I dont have a gallbladder anymore! I woke up Kurt thinking something has to be wrong. He, of course, shrugged it off as pulled muscle or something. So I tried ot go back to sleep. The next morning, I sent my son off to school and started to get ready for my day when the pain hit me again!...this time it was worse. I went in the bathroom to get some medicine thinking maybe it was heart burn. When I started to get dizzy, sweaty, ringing in my ears, and I passed out. When I woke up I was on the floor, weak. In pain so scary I didnt know what to do. I could stand. I was shaking. I yelled.."Lizzy. Lizzy!" She came running, "Lizzy get me my phone." When she finally got to me I had crawled to my room from the bathroom. I didnt call Kurt, I called my mom. She didnt hesitate...she was on her way. I then called Kurt. told him I was going to a doctor and I may be headed to the ER. When My mom got here, she was in a panic. I had been able to get myself in to my bed at this point. the pain was wrenching through my abdomen and I had no idea what it could be.<br /><br />We packed up the kids, and she drove me to the hospital. I was pale as a ghost and felt like I was going to pass out any minute again. I finally got in. A new doc, since our insurance had changed this year, pushed and questioned me. They took some blood samples. I walked, or rather, hunched over in pain slowly forced myself to stumble away from his office with a disappointing diagnosis of "ulcer". I was not convinced. There is no way an ulcer can be this painful.<br /><br />I took the medicine and did as I was told. That night, the pain came back again, full force. I was crying. I was exhausted. I didnt know what to do. First thing I called the docs office. They were conveniently out of the office so my case was referred to another doc..UGH! So I asked, what do my labs say. I am in pain, this has to be something else! "we will get back with you sometime this afternoon". Meanwhile, I was dying...literally, I didnt know if I could take it. I was nearly headed to the ER for a second opinion. All I could do on top of this all was think about how much this would all cost and who would take care of my family if I had to go back in to the hospital.<br /><br />Finally, around noon, I got a call. "Your labs are elevated and concerning. You need to come back in and see Dr. **** ", who btw, was a different doctor remember the other guy was on vacation now. So another call to my mom. She was came up. Took me over. This time, i sat there, with pain...he came in..."Well, your lipase is in the 4000s (normal is 300). Something is going on wiht your pancreas. You need to get checked into the hospital ASAP. Stop drinking and eating. You may be ther 4 days or 2 weeks depending on what they find. " WHAT!?<br /><br />And that was that, $200 to tell me I needed to go to the ER. Thanks doc. So, I called Kurt "well, ready to spend $4000. Im off to the hospital for maybe 2 weeks. "<br /><br />So he rushed home. We got a sitter for the time being (thanks mom!) and Kurt and I went to the hospital. I got all checked in. That night they ran test after test, MRI, CT, Ultrasound. they could find nothing. I couldnt eat, not even drink water. I was miserable. In pain. and bored.<br /><br />I rated my pain on this scale....looks like an 8 or 9 to me...LOL!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGJd-Gd-YANEE0nrE9UaF8GIeffhvs-jcOL1f4FP4nsR0r_DVUmnZCFPeljZ4UJCQ0gVsBxNxatxVvRXskyiEv2cSYKFf6W6kFjp_M4YV4gV2Dpu7cXdCHCqPOz9wFDnkTRWagd3Zb0Ig/s1600/170393_10150092231136069_741626068_6020861_7460267_o.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGJd-Gd-YANEE0nrE9UaF8GIeffhvs-jcOL1f4FP4nsR0r_DVUmnZCFPeljZ4UJCQ0gVsBxNxatxVvRXskyiEv2cSYKFf6W6kFjp_M4YV4gV2Dpu7cXdCHCqPOz9wFDnkTRWagd3Zb0Ig/s320/170393_10150092231136069_741626068_6020861_7460267_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607448641004965602" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRX4RKkXH4wO415iFkP9HWP3aMiHI7miMcAya71P947mWIvXufv216OqJdohyphenhyphen1AmAVWHo5y1KdU_5wAhjt-zfqldjD19qk_1thMS3CINru-ecu3u-gzMos8xaofn2HSXrUTtZmImVf5I/s1600/170182_10150092229726069_741626068_6020851_831375_o.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRX4RKkXH4wO415iFkP9HWP3aMiHI7miMcAya71P947mWIvXufv216OqJdohyphenhyphen1AmAVWHo5y1KdU_5wAhjt-zfqldjD19qk_1thMS3CINru-ecu3u-gzMos8xaofn2HSXrUTtZmImVf5I/s320/170182_10150092229726069_741626068_6020851_831375_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607449080585949218" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After 4 days, my levels came down. I was able to start eating slowly again. and they released me without an answer. Since I had no gallbladder, it was not a gallstone. they found no inflammation at the time of CT and MRI. So I was released.<br /><br />A week later...it returned. I though, oh no...what am I going to do, I will NOT go back there! I cant ask for all the ehlp I got, I cant leave my family again. So they let me be off of food for a day and see if that helped. I was rechecked with my blood work. It was high again, but dropping. So another MRI Was ordered. It was negative. I was sent to a speciliast. They told me to get some enzymes to use when I eat, watch what I eat and if I have a flare up back off and go off foods for a day. So here I am.... feeling better. Worried. But better. AS long as i have no pain, and they cant find anything wrong, I will just go with it.<br /><br />So finally back into the swing of things, life moved on.<br /><br />And hey! The Pack won the Superbowl! LOL. It was a great game.<br /><br />Since then life has been pretty calm. Since our deductible was now met, we decided to get all our elective surgeries done. Oliver got tubes in both ears, no more ear infections. I got elbow surgery for my painful nerves in my arm. Kurt is getting knee surgery in two weeks. So, a blessing in disguise.<br /><br />March came and went with all the crazy weather. Kurt turned 33. Easter followed.<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-e6.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=1585267068862304486&site=widget-e6.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1585267068862304486&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-e6.slide.com/p1/1585267068862304486/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1585267068862304486&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-e6.slide.com/p2/1585267068862304486/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1585267068862304486&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-e6.slide.com/p4/1585267068862304486/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a></div></div><br /><br />My birthday was a week or so ago, cant believe Im 32. And here we are.<br /><br />We look forward to a summer with school almost over, a fence (Yahoo! Kurt is installing it as I speak), Lagoon again, and vacations to the cabin.<br /><br />I look back and just am amazed at my life, my kids, how fast time moves and in the blink of an eye how fast it could change. I am so grateful for all I have.

It was probably the funnest and most stressful vacation I have ever been on. Fun though, really really fun. We drove, so that was an adventure in itself. We stopped over in Vegas and stayed with my Aunt and Uncle there which was so nice! We took the kiddoes to downtown Vegas just so they could see it. It was actually pretty cool. There was a special fall display at the Bellagio that smelled AMAZING! There were giant pumpkins, and herbs, and all sorts of sites that embodied fall and harvest.<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-9e.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=1657324662899942046&site=widget-9e.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1657324662899942046&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-9e.slide.com/p1/1657324662899942046/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1657324662899942046&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-9e.slide.com/p2/1657324662899942046/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1657324662899942046&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-9e.slide.com/p4/1657324662899942046/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a></div></div><br /><br />Then we headed to Anaheim the next day. We got to the house we were staying at...GORGEOUS! It was built in the early 1900s by a famous movie star critic and gossip columnist who was quite the socialite. This house was 7000 sq ft. Had it all. It was so unique and huge. it has so many rooms. I totally reminded me of a "Clue" mansion. it was amazing! The weather was rainy and foggy so we couldn't enjoy the outdoor pool and hot tub. There were coyotes at night that would surround our yard and hillside and howl at our family dog. There was even a room used as an old speak easy room with hidden passage to escape from the cops. My brother took a gazillion photos, I will try to get those so I can post them.<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-5c.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=1945555039051538268&site=widget-5c.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1945555039051538268&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-5c.slide.com/p1/1945555039051538268/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1945555039051538268&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-5c.slide.com/p2/1945555039051538268/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1945555039051538268&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-5c.slide.com/p4/1945555039051538268/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a></div></div><br /><br />The next morning we headed to the "big show" and it did not disappoint. It was wonderful, magic, fun, exhausting, and probably the best time I have ever had.<br /><br />We spent four days there and even one of them we got to pal around with my Best Friend, Alyssa, and her family who were down from Alaska at that same time going on a family trip with their kids to Disneyland. It was perfect.<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-8e.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=1585267068862295950&site=widget-8e.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1585267068862295950&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-8e.slide.com/p1/1585267068862295950/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1585267068862295950&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-8e.slide.com/p2/1585267068862295950/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1585267068862295950&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-8e.slide.com/p4/1585267068862295950/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a></div></div><br /><br />We also spent one day in San Diego. We wanted to show our kids the beach, but sadly it was pouring rain! but we went anyway. We also went to Old Town, ate at a great Mexican restaurant and then went to the Mormon Battalion museum. It was really neat. I mean Really Neat! The kids loved it too.<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-a0.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=2161727821166039968&site=widget-a0.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2161727821166039968&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a0.slide.com/p1/2161727821166039968/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2161727821166039968&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a0.slide.com/p2/2161727821166039968/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2161727821166039968&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a0.slide.com/p4/2161727821166039968/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a></div></div><br /><br />After all that fun, we were ready to come home. It was sad to leave. I think about that vacation a lot and cannot wait to go back....but home was calling.<br /><br />After we got home...Halloween was on its way. It was fun! We did our annual spook alley this time with the help of some of my sisters friends They were fantastic! We got some good scares that year! WE also made a Bowser costume to go along with the theme of Mario. Carter was Bowser, Lizzy was Princess Peach and their two bestest buds were Mario and Luigi. Even Oliver got in on the fun and was Yoshi. It was a lot of fun!<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-e3.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=1585267068862296035&site=widget-e3.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1585267068862296035&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-e3.slide.com/p1/1585267068862296035/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1585267068862296035&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-e3.slide.com/p2/1585267068862296035/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1585267068862296035&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-e3.slide.com/p4/1585267068862296035/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a></div></div><br /><br />Then the holidays came on us too fast.

We had our new little guy and life was good.<br /><br />Unfortunately in April, tragedy struck our family with the loss of Jason's, Kurt's brother's, wife, Jenn. It was the night of Easter. We got a phone call. It was hard to believe. It was completely shocking, difficult, scary, painful, just beyond belief. For me I can say, it has gotten better, but Im sure to Jason the sting is still sharp and hurts more than he will ever tell us. We will always love her. Miss her presence. I should have written in here so that I could express what I felt then. Its hard to remember. I honestly can say I am in a difficult place right now with all of it. But thats my battle. It made me realize how much I love my family. How much I would never do anything to be away from them. It has been something I never thought I would go through. But I did. And I keep going. As Lizzy so innocently told me "We will see her again someday mommy" and I know we will.<br /><br />With a new zest for being alive and being with the ones I love. Making each moment count, we headed into the summer. Carter turned 8 and he was baptized. It was another step in my life. Another awakening of what really matters. It was really special to have his friends see it. I have noticed a change in him. A better love of the gospel. A better understanding. He is so bright. Love that boy. I am so proud of him. He continues to show his compassion and friendship to everyone.<br /><br />On to the summer...this is where I finally have pictures to show. It was a hot one too. May and June flew by and then we hit July...ugh! So we escaped to the cabin...as usual. Our most favorite place in the whole world. We did the usual, relaxed, floated the river, went to Yellowstone. There is nothing like it in the world to be up there.<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-db.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=1729382256937496539&site=widget-db.slide.com" style="width: 400px; height: 320px;" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width: 400px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1729382256937496539&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-db.slide.com/p1/1729382256937496539/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1729382256937496539&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-db.slide.com/p2/1729382256937496539/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1729382256937496539&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-db.slide.com/p4/1729382256937496539/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a></div></div><br /><br />The next event of note was GEEX 2010. Kurt and some buddies at work love to game. So they brought back GEEX 2010 through their work and headed the entire project along with a GEEX podcast. It was a success. I wont bore you with the details, but it was pretty much like COMICON but with video games and on a much much smaller scale. THis year will be even bigger.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZKEsmqcchKrS5a5gkyBei94FGOUM6W2ZHDAYDVpMb-SB-vDpBJPrxOuE57BGBtV5uhxzQn0cUE-LFXgUBMyNpjaFuXbc1MR_PpzLFWHmABnxlf9drKpe8qNH8ySNfLK00HPstHoy1TA/s1600/DSCN1567.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZKEsmqcchKrS5a5gkyBei94FGOUM6W2ZHDAYDVpMb-SB-vDpBJPrxOuE57BGBtV5uhxzQn0cUE-LFXgUBMyNpjaFuXbc1MR_PpzLFWHmABnxlf9drKpe8qNH8ySNfLK00HPstHoy1TA/s320/DSCN1567.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574471788922554978" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYEQxipIUzuWze5DH4KNQa4iUatE_y_fehCP9uYqjINbEtOGcFha-Mx557qcLYY04vqre7586xq5sndil5upIKZLcrYX7hQBhjfmbP25BudqvaTNYc6ASxRA9pNwIuI2kpEfkz0uvth_k/s1600/DSCN1574.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYEQxipIUzuWze5DH4KNQa4iUatE_y_fehCP9uYqjINbEtOGcFha-Mx557qcLYY04vqre7586xq5sndil5upIKZLcrYX7hQBhjfmbP25BudqvaTNYc6ASxRA9pNwIuI2kpEfkz0uvth_k/s320/DSCN1574.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574472056439660834" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Lizzy then celebrated her 5th Birthday.

I will make up for it, but mostly, Im just going to have to start over. <br /><br />Oh, and happy Valentines Day!The Beckstrom'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18155459437318161049noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740405273138921172.post-23059013942979283622009-12-11T13:58:00.007-07:002009-12-11T14:54:30.617-07:00Playing catch-upSo the last post I posted was several weeks ago for Oliver's baby announcement. Since then I have found rarely any time for myself. So there is plenty to catchup on. First off, MERRY CHRISTMAS!<br />I love this season. it always reminds me of where I really should be and what I really should be thinking about, which in my case, I need reminding of a lot.<br /><br />Aside from the obvious business of a new baby, I have had my share of surgery for a lifetime. In October I had emergency gallbladder removal. And I tell you, having a new born only 4 weeks old and having to go through that 3 days of not being there for the little guy was really hard. Not to mention how much pain I was in anyway. But we got it all figured out and I am doing much better. Then, I went in for colonoscopy since my mom had colon cancer at the age of 40. So we decided since my deductible was already met, we would get that dome as well.<br /><br />During the month of October, we had a huge deal on Halloween, as usual. This year we built a cave and had Kurt hide inside. He and his brother scared the pants off many kids.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijKtrp8FvOBFpGw5tUZPCQv_cOZNEvllvrthMBs19rcBu53mIEh8Y5WJ7QCqr5StIbZ1MCbJYQkjF4ZMcn83zY6JraQWPVyuSkLMJ-zDdpIIeP4b2y0n22kHiGYQlZyOOpYiele9esovc/s1600-h/DSCN0902.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijKtrp8FvOBFpGw5tUZPCQv_cOZNEvllvrthMBs19rcBu53mIEh8Y5WJ7QCqr5StIbZ1MCbJYQkjF4ZMcn83zY6JraQWPVyuSkLMJ-zDdpIIeP4b2y0n22kHiGYQlZyOOpYiele9esovc/s320/DSCN0902.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414088405495611010" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDa-xJDuCTdagIycKtiYAHT8r7Mz7unwpRyTDHQ5pFYje-bXO0Tze0pG8HTRF8w7fD5c7TQruaFzCaeQLkhEQLXsjQyCs7J2JEEJx-Is6BJ_fiWMUaWNJ9ppLKpI-6QoUoytnL0FmLl4M/s1600-h/DSCN0899.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDa-xJDuCTdagIycKtiYAHT8r7Mz7unwpRyTDHQ5pFYje-bXO0Tze0pG8HTRF8w7fD5c7TQruaFzCaeQLkhEQLXsjQyCs7J2JEEJx-Is6BJ_fiWMUaWNJ9ppLKpI-6QoUoytnL0FmLl4M/s320/DSCN0899.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414088399736990370" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAZRtUEfPiMrtG6z_OhVivWvSiNAmIQBtBmeQ4Chh8gV8yWXLCeR8wnJCUFNAanKn_F_b2lIY27a-Ih3iVlqoiHmJVkCI8zkYKMkWlPW68IqfgsAj4UcntRtnzvdwYZ4HmdHn2kMqeO4o/s1600-h/DSCN0896.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAZRtUEfPiMrtG6z_OhVivWvSiNAmIQBtBmeQ4Chh8gV8yWXLCeR8wnJCUFNAanKn_F_b2lIY27a-Ih3iVlqoiHmJVkCI8zkYKMkWlPW68IqfgsAj4UcntRtnzvdwYZ4HmdHn2kMqeO4o/s320/DSCN0896.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414088393208945506" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNuWp1JGe148_KelOjOqpXSRBmIPhFy5z6bPEwoG9KV5SqbhQ9tFa6xUpyU0N8ri2bbbsAxeSVT6Tttbc3GK1wLXA2VB18a63rSSEDO_QzICzXz8uIftH_vjhl17Vo1SrdTEI4J8MJKzM/s1600-h/DSCN0890.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNuWp1JGe148_KelOjOqpXSRBmIPhFy5z6bPEwoG9KV5SqbhQ9tFa6xUpyU0N8ri2bbbsAxeSVT6Tttbc3GK1wLXA2VB18a63rSSEDO_QzICzXz8uIftH_vjhl17Vo1SrdTEI4J8MJKzM/s320/DSCN0890.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414088390075656818" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9FcXCN6hto-MZ1zeqmqjlNWLfYEXCRDqbrunNdWwC_W4dnyjXyW2ItgDuXOSQlS6M49oqoiYxiYd06fRTpJh8TLt2jqWaEqLWClIssN05Yjs0umgOFtUqNCYFvvXAskU3mqiAHzqPCiY/s1600-h/DSCN0889.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9FcXCN6hto-MZ1zeqmqjlNWLfYEXCRDqbrunNdWwC_W4dnyjXyW2ItgDuXOSQlS6M49oqoiYxiYd06fRTpJh8TLt2jqWaEqLWClIssN05Yjs0umgOFtUqNCYFvvXAskU3mqiAHzqPCiY/s320/DSCN0889.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414088381730344050" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then in November, Kurt and I celebrated our 10th year anniversary.

According to him, my due date was Oct. 1st. So he checked me and I was 3cm and 50% effaced. He said that I was to make an appointment for the following Monday, but I probably wouldn't make it. He was right, all day after that, I was having contractios 10min apart. That night about at 1am, they went to 5 min apart, then 3 min apart and then I woke Kurt up and said, "Its time"<br /><br />We called my mom and she came up as soon as she could. We packed light and headed to the hospital. We are only 5 minutes awaya so I was not worried I was leaving something important at home because Kurt could always go back and get it later.<br /><br />We arrived at the hospital around 4 am (which coincidently is the same time we came to the hospital for Lizzy). They checked us in and I walked up to the Labor and Delivery (shouldve taken that wheelchair like they offered). They got me all set up and the nurse, after checking me all in, says "We might send you home since you are 37 1/2 weeks and only 3cm." I was like WHA!! HUH!! I am truly in active labor here. It was painful, it was consistent, it was real. She said I might just be dehydrated. I was about to cry!! This baby was coming tonight and they wanted to send me home. So she called my doc and he said "Im coming in to break her water" YAHOO!! 100 pts to my doctor!!<br /><br />He got ther about 45min later and I was 5cm and 90% effaced. There was no stopping the baby now!! He broke my water and 30 mintes after that, I was 7cm. He said I better get the epidural.<br /><br />So the epidural man came, bless them!! And I got the shot. Then everything slowed down....After the initial blood pressure drop, throwing up, and nearly passing out, I took a nap. about 1 hour later, they gave me some Pitocin, Kurt left to get breakfast. and we all know what happens when a hubby leaves...the baby comes.<br /><br />So they were just about to page him over the hospital com and my doc was about to go down to the cafeteria to find him when...he showed back up. Nice one Kurt!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgABOPppwKfpiffpY4Koo4695VL5Uzw1OLeDoaXy-ZdvkE5kB644jSi4hZeHv_fCKvh4_lU_k4KymCBsDxmTLj0ax_-up7oibIhm3yCbd8NB4hyphenhyphenCbloy6MoLCH1Hzk-NOfgOLPBYo4CtvM/s1600-h/DSCN0763.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgABOPppwKfpiffpY4Koo4695VL5Uzw1OLeDoaXy-ZdvkE5kB644jSi4hZeHv_fCKvh4_lU_k4KymCBsDxmTLj0ax_-up7oibIhm3yCbd8NB4hyphenhyphenCbloy6MoLCH1Hzk-NOfgOLPBYo4CtvM/s320/DSCN0763.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386684540011467794" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4snTubD51qFo6V9oLobwOlUaqcg2Vjt1IgjLS9Tb_AuOlDuGAbJylCSNeZtY6xAAogCdhBzynRBBhxK5_vaXOmJKpp6BgHeObx-JTtf-KvsARLpIqtaUVDUFl9NUKLLegxthtQlVd81s/s1600-h/DSCN0771.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4snTubD51qFo6V9oLobwOlUaqcg2Vjt1IgjLS9Tb_AuOlDuGAbJylCSNeZtY6xAAogCdhBzynRBBhxK5_vaXOmJKpp6BgHeObx-JTtf-KvsARLpIqtaUVDUFl9NUKLLegxthtQlVd81s/s320/DSCN0771.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386684559687296914" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrCz5Va-K1-i7wwSqNw3AOCPFaBaBi2ujGi9kHc_7CDcyWtwunovBI6PlePGhFA5Z9g6ePwP_on-tEQCCkxQPS2Vsy-Bioyh4C5qJLGjLr03cI-2MZxaE7kGjE2RfppOyafLHrHvHVc_0/s1600-h/DSCN0768.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrCz5Va-K1-i7wwSqNw3AOCPFaBaBi2ujGi9kHc_7CDcyWtwunovBI6PlePGhFA5Z9g6ePwP_on-tEQCCkxQPS2Vsy-Bioyh4C5qJLGjLr03cI-2MZxaE7kGjE2RfppOyafLHrHvHVc_0/s320/DSCN0768.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386684558539237570" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-cQHcPLjB-XMuCEWqW1QWDVttkerCSfQSCWw0cgzyMfVQmHJ0_nKPnMKIVpSzl58vSsP5epTzPzzNCFMBV8AYavwvEC7Xdm8pHB-FiCwKf2fCdoL3HkZV2Bv-BEjG63yFRDOh_VWlslA/s1600-h/DSCN0757.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-cQHcPLjB-XMuCEWqW1QWDVttkerCSfQSCWw0cgzyMfVQmHJ0_nKPnMKIVpSzl58vSsP5epTzPzzNCFMBV8AYavwvEC7Xdm8pHB-FiCwKf2fCdoL3HkZV2Bv-BEjG63yFRDOh_VWlslA/s320/DSCN0757.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386684548191250034" border="0" /></a><br /><br />So he was delivered in roughly in 10 minutes, born at 9:32am September 15th, 2009.

I did it last year and it was so nice to have that time and she learned a lot too.

One more fun thing to squeeze in before school starts back up. Plus I have always wanted to see the Dinosaur Park.<br /><br />It was a blast!! We had so much fun. Thanks Kristina! And to top it all off, she even took the kids the rest of the day and I had a much needed relax time at home by myself....it was very very nice!<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-4d.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3170534137696884813&site=widget-4d.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3170534137696884813&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-4d.slide.com/p1/3170534137696884813/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3170534137696884813&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-4d.slide.com/p2/3170534137696884813/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&amp;at=un&amp;id=3170534137696884813&amp;map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-4d.slide.com/m/3170534137696884813/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide9_1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3170534137696884813&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-4d.slide.com/p4/3170534137696884813/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>The Beckstrom'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18155459437318161049noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740405273138921172.post-78535816563620810122009-08-27T17:03:00.009-06:002009-08-28T11:47:25.555-06:00Dad taking the kids to the park<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiWWZLza9a5clAU6CXiuLALLUp1nUh2EqOs7FiBy4g5iYSqOiJLYjb9Q7t3Lh4GUjxy3ZbZo6Utk-C8HoEBfcUuDrE_EpAULrWyZvJ_ix1HPXiJ41LLm_EJajOqmP7IzyGFkjG60kJ3Xs/s1600-h/DSCN0643.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiWWZLza9a5clAU6CXiuLALLUp1nUh2EqOs7FiBy4g5iYSqOiJLYjb9Q7t3Lh4GUjxy3ZbZo6Utk-C8HoEBfcUuDrE_EpAULrWyZvJ_ix1HPXiJ41LLm_EJajOqmP7IzyGFkjG60kJ3Xs/s320/DSCN0643.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374783982172447410" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmcqe58aGGb6Hz06T4JcRYpIh7v9-PABHtUBAAxDDSWNBGM_6eIggmmi1TZkljtWEHUymtiD1mKLNGClvi0d20v05js2jvZ-KAq81Dud7oo3aK2bhNmqvjuKjycDsr3wQJ1wOZ-xpqO0Q/s1600-h/DSCN0642.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmcqe58aGGb6Hz06T4JcRYpIh7v9-PABHtUBAAxDDSWNBGM_6eIggmmi1TZkljtWEHUymtiD1mKLNGClvi0d20v05js2jvZ-KAq81Dud7oo3aK2bhNmqvjuKjycDsr3wQJ1wOZ-xpqO0Q/s320/DSCN0642.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374783997950543778" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I was feeling really tired and so Kurt took the kids to the park for some rocket launching and park play.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO8h0KQygbY4lnTaO7nJEH-ltAwH9rAW9vGzEmz5IQjIUxjETIbTA005J-fpcEUYnlwtfbj48HeDNJDmAZyzRucjnJuMEy2QJMa5CnYYOxw1LGeFfyJy6wcEZRaZsshYaI-qVcG-7lpjE/s1600-h/DSCN0626.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO8h0KQygbY4lnTaO7nJEH-ltAwH9rAW9vGzEmz5IQjIUxjETIbTA005J-fpcEUYnlwtfbj48HeDNJDmAZyzRucjnJuMEy2QJMa5CnYYOxw1LGeFfyJy6wcEZRaZsshYaI-qVcG-7lpjE/s320/DSCN0626.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374783960864519042" border="0" /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CBublbfATOI&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CBublbfATOI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></a>The Beckstrom'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18155459437318161049noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740405273138921172.post-8402362355301053912009-08-27T16:59:00.001-06:002009-08-27T17:03:08.739-06:00Carter and Lizzy being studious...I had to go on a potty break and while the kids were bored waiting, kurt decided to make them look like they were "smarty pants".

Oh it was so nice. Busy, but nice. We had lots of cousins to play with this time around. It was so nice to see Bryan, Siobhan, and their boys. It was also fun to compare our bellies.<br /><br />Kurt didnt make it up for about 4 days, but he came up on his "hog" and he said that next time, he will rethink the distance he rides his motorcycle!<br /><br />I didnt get to get out of the car much this trip due to the impending baby birth...but the kids had a great time with Dad and Aunt Katie exploring new geyser areas. And, we finally saw a bear closer than I have ever seen one in all the times and years I have been going since I was born!!! Pictures unfortunately are like showing "bigfoot" to someone.
