13 months and counting!

                                                         

                   My baby girl is 13 months old! I can't believe it. She is something I tell ya! She is IN to everything! She is a little fire cracker but then turns around with those big blue eyes and melts your heart!!

                       These days Elyza gets into more shanigans then the boys ever did.. I can't leave any door open in the house(which drives me crazy because I hate closed doors) because she will find something to get into. She takes the toliet paper off the roll, gets into trashcans and loves to get stuff out of the cabinets and throw it all over the kitchen!

                       Her and Ezra fight over toys like crazy! I've never seen a 13 month old fight to the deaths over a toy before.. They both are so strong willed that I usually just have to take whatever it is they are fighting over away and hide it. Then in the next minute they are hugging and loving on eachother..

                       She loves to hug. she runs up to us and wraps her little arms around us and lays her head on us and says" oh baby" it is the sweetest thing ever! She likes to love on her brothers and babydolls!
 She loves playing with other babies!!

Elyza loves pink and pocketbooks! I don't know how she could already love pocket books but she loves carrying one around and if its pink thats even better!

                       She is getting better about sleeping through the night which is awesome! Mommy is tired! I haven't had a good night sleep in 6 years probably. I am looking forward to it! When she gets put to bed she lays in her crib and turns her Scout puppy dog on and then she sings herself to sleep. It is the sweetest thing in the whole world.. Maybe she will like to sing like her mommy but do it a little better! lol

                  She has her daddy wrapped around her finger! His nickname for her is Betsy. I know I don't get it eighther! Ezra calls her Liza which is better then what he used to call her which was MONK MONK!! lol

                   We feel very blessed to have such a wonderful little family. Each year has had its ups and downs but we are learning as we go through each challenge..

 Stay tuned for more to come with The Biesecker Baby Farm... next blog will be ..... "Imaginary Friends"

It all started with a box!

Ethan had a friend from school come over for the first time ever so I decided that I wanted to do something fun with them for dinner. So I loaded Ezra and Elyza up and off to the store we went in search of some FUN! This is what we found!

This little $5 box of amusement makes 2 pizzas. you must provide your own cheese and toppings but for $5 no problem. We got some toppings and headed to pick up the boys after a fast trip to the park of coarse! Ethan and Taje were very exacted to get started.. Neighther one of them wanted to get there hands in the dough so they left the dirty work to me! But it was fun.

 Taje got started on the cheese!

 Ezra supervised!

 Ethan did the mixing!

 and everyone added the toppings!

 the finished  product. I cooked it for the time it told me to but it probably was a little to long but it was still very good!

the boys enjoyed it!

 then we finished it off with some yummy peanut butter brownies!!

Pintastic Idea!

I can't remember what sick twisted friend of mine it was that told me to join pinterest BUT I love it! The sad part is all I can do now is save things that I love and wait till we build a house. I feel like the day will never come but I have to trust in God and he will let it happen when the time is right. Like Brandon says we can go out and build a big huge house right now.... and then not be able to pay for it! That does't sound like a fun time so I will keep waiting until God sees fit! In the meantime I got this really cute idea off of Pinterest to make a journal for Ethan and I to right in. I thought this was a super cute fun thing for us to do together. I just love it. I am in the process of making one for a cousin for his mommy and him to share! here is how it turned out. I have shaded out the writing because it is in fact "letters between mommy & me"

 I made the front using card stock and psp!

 added a picture of us together in the mountains!

 Ethan posing with the elk antlers from colorado!

 First day of First grade and his kindergarten graduation. I don't have a picture even though I thouht I took one!

and ended with a sweet pictureof ethan, me and daddy! I will continue to add pictures as the journal grows and he can add his favorite pictures and memories as well!

The sun, sun Mr. Golden sun please shine down on me!!

I am so happy the sun is out! Maybe now I can get the kids out into some fresh air so they can't get rid of these snot noses and coughs they have! It has been no fun for them being cooped up in the house the last 2 weeks. Hopefully the are on the right track and we can have a fun weekend with them!! Yay for sunshine! I hope it stays this way!

Happy Birthday to the Biesecker Boys!

Ethan and Ezra celebrated their  birthdays this month so I thought it would be much easier to do one blog instead of 2. This year instead of spending loads of money decorating and buying stuff for a big party that they could care less about..( lets face it no one decorates and spends all that money for the kids, it's for the people that are coming) Since Iv'e spent the last 6 years doing that I learned my lesson. All they want is to do something fun and spend time with there family and friends.. so this year we did just that.. Ethan decided that he wanted to go to Great Wolf Lodge for his birthday. It was so fun! We went the day after Christmas so for his actually bday we had a bonfire and ate pizza, roasted marshmellows and he played with his friends.. The weather was perfect! We had a great time. It was stress free and wonderful. It's the first year I wasn't running around stressed out trying to make things pretty and  boy did it feel good!!

 this is the most decorating I did! lol

Ethan got this coat from his friend Lexi and put it on as soon as he recieved it and has wore it everyday since!!

 the party got so wild we had the cops called on us and we had to bribe him with pizza! "just kidding!"

 we even had a lumberjack at the party! He helped with the fire! lol

 I'm not sure about these guys! The three stooges maybe?

the ladies hung out inside and to see what they could get into! yes I know the carpet is ugly, I'm trying to get my husband to put wood floor down!

For Ezra's Birthday we asked him where he wanted to go eat dinner and he said mexican so off to

Don Juans we went with his aunt Cortney & Uncle Melvin and let me not forget his soon to be born cousin Amilya was in tow!!! He ordered is favorite food and ate so many chips and salsa I'm suprised he didn't get a tummy ache! We ate cake and the guys that worked there sang to him and even ate some cake to!! I don't have pictures because I left my camera at home!! :(

But here are a few from before!

My mom got him this cute card and brought it over and it turned into a birthday hat! Which then inspired me to make him a birthday shirt! I think it turned out really cute!  It is hard to believe that he is 3 and will be starting school this year. It seems like just yesterday Ethan was starting pre k3 and I was pregnant with Ezra! Time sure does fly! Enjoy this time with your kids!!

GREAT wolf lodge!

           

  I capitalized GREAT because it was just that...

GREAT!

 We had such a good time that we are already planning our next trip! I think my husband calls me once a week talking about going back!  We took our 7 year old and 3 year old for there birthday! My sister kept Elyza for us because we felt like it would be harder if we took her with us. We made a good call.

We did have to take turns with the boys because they couldn't do the same stuff at the water park. But it was still alot of fun.

~THINGS YOU SHOULD TAKE~

Your own beach towels. the towels there are small and who really wants to use towels that thousands of people have used.. NOT THIS MOMMA!

A water proof digital camera. we missed alot of amazing pictures because I was not about to take my slr into the waterpark. A man there had a waterproof one and it was cool he took it down the slides and had cool pictures and video! we will absolutely be getting one before our next trip!

Snacks!

Bring your own snacks and drinks!

Food there is expensive!!

Cute Pajamas!

Pretty much everyone just walked around in their p.j.s in the evenings!

All the kids were dressed in p.j.s for story time and some parents also. If I would of known this I would of packed mine! I love my pajamas!!

We really enjoyed our time there. In the evenings they have story time for the kids and sing songs and they even had "snow" falling from the ceiling at the end. The whole resort is beautiful. There was just something about the place that I really just loved so much!! They have lots of othe activities to do besides the waterpark some free and some not... and what I mean by "not" is.. expensive!

We will be doing the paw passes next time so the kids get to do more. It's a bundle and its cheaper!

Here are a few pictures from our trip! Wish I could of got more.. Like of Ezra falling asleep in the waterpark eating pizza! I hate I missed that moment!

                                                                    the ice cream shop!

   that is what they consider 1 scoop!

      this is how a biesecker sleeps!

this is how the other Biesecker sleeps!

And Mr. Biesecker sleeps the same way! I have proof but I won't post that picture since he was in his undies... or maybe I will!!! ;)

Hope everyone gets a chance to visit Great Wolf Lodge!
