Super Mom!

From the very first moment I became a mom all I have ever wanted was to be the best mom I could possibly be. Now that I am a mom of 3 I am finding it harder and harder to try and be the "super mommy" I want to be.

It seems like by the time I get the house cleaned and everyone fed and everything done there is not enough time in the day to play with the kids like I want to or do special projects with them like I want to .. So what do I do? Pray for more time in the day? Stop doing the things around the house that need to be done? I just dont know how to use my time well I guess.

I read books to my kids everyday but I always feel so rushed, I don't ever just get to enjoy reading with them because I am always thinking of the next thing that needs to be done. So to all you SUPER MOMS out there.. how do you do it.. I don't want to just take care of my kids, I want to get to enjoy them and enjoy things with them...

THE GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!

Miss Elyza is a silly little lady! She will not under no uncertain terms sleep flat on her back! So I have been laying her on her boppy at night and through out the night she slides down off of it until she slides all the way off and wakes up. or she slides off just enough it looks like she is hurting her neck. My friend Jennifer suggested that I get her the NEWBORN SLEEP AND PLAY ROCKER Don't let the name full you it hold up to 25 pounds! IT is $54 at babiesrus and it is AWESOME! I highly suggest this to new mommies and friends. it is light weight and folds for easy storage and travel. This will def be going with us to the beach this year instead of our huge pack and play!

Terrific Two

Terrific and Two!!

I took Ezra for his 2 year check up today. Yes I am behind. I missed his appointment a couple of times due to may lack of brain cells! Ezra turned 2 on January 22!

He weighs 27 pounds and is 36 inches tall. He is in the 60% for his weight and height. So he is growing wonderfully. He is ahead of the game for his language developement. But with a big brother like Ethan he had to learn how to talk sooner! lol

His favorite thing right now is lightning Mcqueen. And he loves his brother so much. He drives Ethan crazy.. he runs up to him and tells him he loves him constantly.. He loves Elyza to. He says "it's okay baby" when she cries and he tries to give her a paci.. sometimes he likes to take it and hide it from her... Like she is gonna get up and look for it!

We feel truly blessed to have Ezra in our life he is such a funny little man!

1. I am a Stay at home mom and a wanna be photographer. I married Brandon Biesecker when I was 20 years old. I know right I was so young! What was I thinking! lol.. He is the most hard working man I have ever met. And although we fight sometimes I am blessed to have him in my life!
2. I have 3 crazy wacky beautiful children! How did I make such pretty babies? Ethan is 6 and my best friend.. Ezra is 2 and he is a very emotional wild little boy, Elyza is 7 weeks old and looks just like her daddy! Go figure!
3.I shop for clothes for my kids constantly. They don't need anything but I can't control it. I had a bad childhood so now I have to make up for it by contanstly buying things for them.. But at least I know I have a problem right?
4. When I was younger I thought I was so special because I am Italian and Greek.. But now I know that no one actually cares! Ha!
5. I love love love Motocross.. I love everything about it. The sound of the dirtbikes, the thrill of seeing that first rider get the hole shot and the way my husband looks in his riding pants!! I really hope that he can start racing again someday b/c he was so good. maybe ethan and ezra will want to ride dirtbikes!
5. I am so forgetful that it is unreal. My husband says I need medication.! I can remember stuff that doesn't matter alot better then I can remember really important stuff. It has gotten so bad since I had the baby that I have had to hang white boards all over my house so I can write things down and see them as I walk by. I have to set an alarm on my phone so I don't forget to pick ethan up from school! lol
7. I love orange juice.. I could drink a gallon of it a day! That is why I am 40 pounds over weight! Ezra was an orange juice baby! I drank so much while I was pregnant with him it made me gain alot of weight.

Taking Time for God

As I layed in bed awake last night worrying about Ezra and praying that he wasn't getting sick, I realized something. I haven't been taking the time to really pray. When someone isn't feeling well or it's bedtime or time to eat seems to be the only time here lately that I can give God a few seconds of my precious time to Thank him. I shouldn't just be praying when I have a need. I should be thanking him for all the many blessings in life all the time. I'm so ungreatful sometimes. I say a fast prayer at night before drifting off to sleep praying for friends and family. Prayer shouldn't be a rushed thing. What am I teaching my children about prayer? They say a prayer before they eat and a prayer before they go to bed. That isn't a good relationship with God. What if God didn't have time for me? After all his time is so much more precious then mine.
It seems I always can find a few minutes for facebook or the real housewives (lol) throughout the day, why can't I use that time to honor God? Because what I WANT to do is in my way. God has answered my prayers over and over again. He is a mighty God. And I need to take more time out of my day for him. SO that is what I'm going to do.

Sunny Days

We have been blessed with a few warm days recently and we have really took advantage! It has been so nice to get outside and play and I think Brandon enjoyed it also!

Brandon blows a mean bubble!

Ethan loves to go to the park with his friends!


Ezra stops long enough to give a good smile!

I am looking forward to more warm days but frustrated with the fact that I have tons of winter clothes that Elyza hasn't got to wear yet! What was I thinking!! Hope fully she will still get to wear them! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

What you've missed!

I would like to start off by thanking all the people that helped us out after I had Elyza.

Thank you to those of you that were my taxi drivers, helping me get to dr.'s visits and getting ethan to school and back.

Thank you to all the wonderful church family that cooked for us for a week while I got better. You have no idea what a big help it was to not have to worry about that.

Thank you to everyone for all of your prayers of healing!

It has now been 5 weeks since I have had Elyza and I really do feel great. Now if I can get this weight off!

The transition from 2 to 3 children has been such a breeze so far ( knock on wood) So much easier then going from 1 to 2... But I'm not gonna count my chickens!

Ethan really hasn't seem to change much since the baby has gotten here. He doesn't act jealous or anything which is good.

Ezra love love loves his baby sister. He is very protective of her and wants to hold and kiss her all the time .

Going into week 5 Elyza is doing great. She has been sleeping 6 hours straight at night which is AWESOME! Hope she keeps that up! I don't know what to do not feeling exausted! But she has to be kept on a routine or she does get out of whack. so our social life is probably on hold for a year or so. But we will do what we have to do.

Hope everyone is having a great 2011 so far. I know I am.!
