<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm constantly getting c</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">omments about how active we are and how we are always on the go. That is partially true. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I am a very social person and because of that both my boys are. We love interacting with people. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I will never forget the conversation that made me realize Liam is a lot like me. It was about a year ago when he was around 2.5. We were heading to the park and on the way he asked "mom who are we going to the park with today?"</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I replied "it's just us today." I could see his little gears turning in his head in the car seat mirror "oh so I can go to the park and make new friends?" </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We can literally make friends anywhere. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now here are my steps to how I get out of the house with out leaving a kid behind or diapers because those are equally as important! </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm the hot mess mom. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">my diaper bag almost always stays in the car. I usually have extra diapers in the front seat. So every morning I grab a handful of diapers for Bennett and a handful for Hallie. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">normally just dress my kids and then carry their shoes with me to the car. One of the boys if not both will take them off in the car anyways. Most of the time Bennett's are still in the car from the day before. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit;">My stroller or both my strollers normally are always in the back of the car. Sometimes that's a problem if we forget to take them out when we go to the groceries but with 3 </span><span style="color: #454545;">little ones</span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit;"> you always have to be prepared one or all don't want to walk. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have friends at sonic. Literally I drive up and my friend walks out with an extra large Dr Pepper and tells me to have a great day </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">we normally only pick one activity for the day. Occasionally two if I have a family member helping me. </span></li>

<ul>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And we just make the best of it. We often leave stores with one of the kids if not all crying (sometimes it seems just to make mommy look like she can't handle 3) </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: #454545;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Embrace and encourage car naps. At least a few times a week I can be found sitting in my car in my drive way to let my kids nap. I often drive around the block if one wakes up early. I know my neighbors all think I am crazy</span></li>

<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Honestly we make the best of my crazy trio. I often forget wipes and make a new friend by begging another mom if she can spare a few.</span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I wouldn't change my 3 kiddos in 3 years. Most moms have a 3 year gap between their kids but I've come to embrace I'm not like those other moms! </span></div>

<br />
This last week or so I have repeatedly told you about your birth, your first steps and a few other milestones. You soak every detail in and ask me to tell you the stories again.<br />
<br />
I remember when I first laid my eyes on you. I was in complete shock that you were once inside my belly. You were nothing like I had imagined. You were far more beautiful and amazing that I could have imagined. I remember holding you and saying in my head "I am your mom. I am A MOM?"<br />
I sang you the first song that came into my head ( one I had been singing to you my whole pregnancy.<br />
<br />

Liam Isaiah Ortega you bring Mommy, Daddy and Bennett so much joy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You are so full of life, questions and an amazing little laugh.<br />
You are so strong willed yet sensitive<br />
. You are demanding and very opinionated.<br />
You are wild but very caring.<br />
You love macaroni, chicken nuggets, eggs and most every fruit.<br />
We love the way you say poon (spoon)</div>
<div>
You are just as loud if not louder than me.<br />
You have two volumes very loud and so quiet that we can not hear what you are saying. You love taking pictures and ask me often to take pictures of what you are doing.<br />
<br />
<br />
You are almost done with your first year of school. You absolutely love school. Your teachers have nothing nice to say about you. You really have grown this year. Less pushing others and more listening and following directions. I am so proud of you. I am so honored to be your mom. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

Nana would make it sing happy birthday to and facetime you with mickey.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mommy filled your room with balloons the night before. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
and when you woke up you asked. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"mommy why are there balloons in my room? did they loose their air and strings already?" </div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Happy Friday everyone! I was invited to an advance screening of THE BOSS BABY at Santikos Silverado on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1289891154" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">March 18 at 10am</span></span> and would like to extend an invitation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> THE BOSS BABY is loosely based off of the children’s book with the same title and I think it will be a real treat to watch. CLick the link to download one of the 50 first-come, first-serve Admit Four passes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">

happy 1st birthday Bennett Gray.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
You brought so much joy into our family this last year. You are very silly and know just exactly how to get your brother to laugh. You are so sweet and kind. If your brother is crying you go to him to hug him. You love your daddy so much and get so excited when he walks in from work. You have always been an amazing sleeper at night, naps are a different story! I have never seen a baby eat as much food as you do. You out eat your brother everyday. We love that you are not a picky eater at all! You are very content with just crawling and pushing anything you can around the house. You have 6 teeth. You are a tough cookie. Most days I find you picking the fight with your brother. You most certainly will not be pushed around. I love how tough you are yet you are the one who likes to cuddle. Your eyes have only changed a little since birth and we are still surprised you have blue eyes, though some days they look more green.</div>

You can carry full conversations and never cease to amaze me what you can say. You are impatient and when you are ready to leave you will say "go home mama right now" or "Li um all done." You request who and where you want to go. Your favorite place is the mall. You want you egg roll "tootie" (cookie) and to ride the train. Your favorite thing to ask is "do you have money for the mall?" Or "do you play basketball?" And you will ask all your family members. </div><div><br></div><div>You are constantly requesting Apple juice instead of water at every meal. </div><div>You are still nursing with no end sight. You tell me "other one." </div><div>You will wait for your brother to finish nursing (most of the time) but you are very quick to say "lele's turn." </div><div>For months now you have loved knowing and pointing out genders. You will point and say "girl or boy." Or "that's the girls mom or "that's the girls dad." </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7r4Ua7e2Embttpva7t4c-PPrbmXfE24ZDtpDaO3oowIsJDk8nzCPSAguKFfnOaUdhvm6g-a4Ah-lk4_C36mfajbruHDvyMuxgAHTssgNxvI_185-KEINlj39niz8Bexv_yFKyxXJWDv-Q/s640/blogger-image-1734896160.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7r4Ua7e2Embttpva7t4c-PPrbmXfE24ZDtpDaO3oowIsJDk8nzCPSAguKFfnOaUdhvm6g-a4Ah-lk4_C36mfajbruHDvyMuxgAHTssgNxvI_185-KEINlj39niz8Bexv_yFKyxXJWDv-Q/s640/blogger-image-1734896160.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><div><br></div><div>You love fire trucks and will yell from the back seat "accident mama", when there is more than one emergency vehicle out your rear facing window. 🙈 I need teach you to pray for those involved. </div><div><br></div><div>Even though you are still rear facing that doesn't stop you from knowing exactly where you are. You quickly request your blue slush as soon as we enter sonic's parking lot. You know when we are entering your nana's neighborhood when we pass the fire station. </div><div><br></div><div>You are such a great big brother. You call him your baby. When I take you to the store alone and someone waves to you or says hi you respond "baby at nana's house." You have also started to say "she left baby" If I walk even a few feet away. You adore your brother and hug and kiss him all day. When he cries in the car you say "what wrong Benny?", "no cry Benny bo." Or "almost home Benny almost home." </div><div><br></div><div>Your a very picky eater. Your favorites are "macroni and straws."</div><div><br></div><div>You love your blue crocs and will take off your other shoes to out those on. You are learning how to put them on the correct feet And occasionally you get it right. </div><div>You love singing and know how to sing several songs completely. You love counting to 10 and singing your abc's. You love fish, dogs and your nanas bird rocky. </div><div><br></div><div>You are still a climber and can always be found in the sink brushing your teeth with mine or dads tooth brush if we forget to shut the door. You climb on the counters at home and nana's house and when we tell you get down you reply "just let me wash my hands." </div><div><br></div><div>I love you so so much my baby. You make everyday better, chaotic and filled with so much love. Thank you for making me a mom 2 years ago. </div><div><br></div><div>Happy birthday to you. Everyone has sang to you all day for 2 days. It's your absolute favorite song. 💙💙</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00106273362705231368noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793690390763829013.post-3880445337881997432016-03-07T15:44:00.001-08:002016-03-07T15:44:13.572-08:002 under 2Life has been crazy around here recently. <div><br></div><div>We have good days and hard days. Liam is still nursing so that makes nursing a new born harder than it already is. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm working on weaning him but he has a mind of his own. He is mostly down to only nap and bed time (occassinally during the day if I'm tired of the fit he throws.) </div><div><br></div><div>Packing and keeping a diaper bag stocked for 2 is no joke. Moms with 2 or more I need serious tips with this. Leaving the house to run an errand takes longer than the errand would. </div><div><br></div><div>The toddler had a yeast rash for about a month. I am proud to say I can change a diaper and put two medicines on his rash while still nursing the baby. I felt like super woman. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I have great admiration for moms with twins or more than 2 kids. </div><div>Just when I think I have figured this out I realize I have a lot to learn. </div><div><br></div><div>I would love any tips or advice 😄</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00106273362705231368noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793690390763829013.post-36628430234657037652016-02-22T14:42:00.001-08:002016-02-22T15:01:10.758-08:00Bennett's birth story<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I am so blessed I am able to carry to full term.

Those of you who know me know that I am neither.<br>
<br>
I didn't dream of being a mom like other little girls did. I dreamed of being a confident author or journalist. <div><br></div><div> However I am very grateful God changed my heart and put his plan in effect for my life.<br>
<br>
I love being a mother. To me I don't need to be the most successful author or a business women. I am very content with my humble messy life.<br>
<br>
Being a mom is what I want to do.</div><div><br></div><div>It is enough for me. I am not saying I do not want to back to school. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> I do but that will happen in Gods timing not mine.</span></div><div>
<br>
To me impacting the lives of my children is what I'm here to do.<br>
When it's all over and my time has come to meet my maker I want to know I loved on my family as much as I could have. I want to be there for every time they fall and be there to cheer every time they succeed.<br>
<br>
My life is perfect just the way God intended it to be.<br>
<br>
<br>
Here is a little bit of catching up on what's been going on in my world.<br>

(I need to purchase <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Alexander-Terrible-Horrible-Good-Very/dp/0689711735/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1427167791&sr=8-3&keywords=alexander+and+the+terrible+horrible+no+good+very+bad+day">that</a> book.)</div>
<div>
I keep reminding myself that everyone has an off day. I wish someone would have told me before I had my son to: </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
learn to grocery shop as if you are being timed </div>
<div>
learn to hold a million things in your hands while balancing a baby on your hip</div>
<div>
always be stocked with lots of tissues</div>
<div>
have a never ending supply of Girl Scout cookies </div>
<div>
And learn to cook one handed. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I love the new challenges motherhood brings but I will admit my favorite time of day might just be bed time. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I would love to hear the things you wish you would do. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

I want to share our favorite dinner recipe<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
The original recipe can be found <a href="http://www.skinnytaste.com/2014/07/three-cheese-zucchini-stuffed-lasagna.html?m=1">Here</a>.<br>
<br>
I loved the recipe as a good base for a larger meal. I tease my vegan friend I will try anything vegan or vegetarian if I can add meat or cheese. I am a recovering vegetarian of 7 years.<br>
<br>
Here is what I changed.<br>
<br>
I cook 12 noddles and lay them flat in a glass pan. I layer the zucinni paste, cheese, and we add ground turkey. I make about 3-4 layers.<br>
<br>
My husband could eat this everyday. It is so tasty and easy. My 10 month old loves it. <br>
<br>
<br>
I would love to hear your favorite dinner recipe.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirNQu07Bb1eVHKJFB_loaVgzpo4TqBT6jHuCwebFzlhw1QndEmwSfngYiZBhIzkp0AEYfHivj3sONuPg-98BuIUy4DHJMlrM-OsIXPas3GM9ND57stcflGTPm6VvxRqUc57QXeombGCzUU/s640/blogger-image--1740363936.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirNQu07Bb1eVHKJFB_loaVgzpo4TqBT6jHuCwebFzlhw1QndEmwSfngYiZBhIzkp0AEYfHivj3sONuPg-98BuIUy4DHJMlrM-OsIXPas3GM9ND57stcflGTPm6VvxRqUc57QXeombGCzUU/s640/blogger-image--1740363936.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br>

I need you just as much as you need me</div>
<div>

<div>
You are my shopping buddy, my lunch pal and the reason my camera doesn't collect dust</div>
<div>

<div>
You remind me to laugh and how to love unconditionally. </div>
<div>
You are always around to make me smile</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You bring out the best in me</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I strive to be a better mom, a better friend and better listener because of you. </div>
<div>
You may be little but you are already impacting me greatly</div>

I was so excited to try Popeye muffins from the <a href="http://thegreenforks.com/">green fork </a> My son loves everything so I decided to give these spinach muffins a try. <div>
They are amazing and you wouldn't even know they have a whole bag of spinach. I'm very much like a kid the color is more enticing to me. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
My body is excited with the extra nutrients. </div>

I am a Pinterest addict. That does not mean I ever try to recreate but I just pin and wish I had the time. I browse through the cooking section and tell myself "wouldn't that be amazing for dinner?" I then proceed to make spaghetti. (our go to meal)<br />
<br />
I find myself looking in the kid section more than the women's fashion section because lets face it as a mom my kid comes before my lack of style.<br />
<br />
I am not a huge valentines day enthusiast. I am not like my parents crazy neighbors that have inflatable hearts in their front yard. For one I did not even know the sold those?!<br />
I am however all for looking Pinterest for valentines ideas for my little man. He was invited to a valentines party with his baby friends. I was so excited to find an easy healthier option for the little valentines.<br />
<br />
<br />
Aren't these just the cutest? What is one thing you have recreated inspired by Pinterest? I may have to attempt it or at least repin it :)<br />

Make apple sauce!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had two apples I needed to use so I decided to make apple sauce. My little man could eat strawberries all day. I decided he needed a slight change. In his I didn't add anything but apples and strawberries. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I boiled one cup of water </div>
<div>
Added the apples</div>
<div>
Cooked until a fork could easily pierce (about 10 minutes)</div>
<div>
Purreed and added strawberries. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I didn't have time to find a recipe nor did I want to add sugar and butter. He loved it. </div>
<div>
I<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> added a little cinnamon and lemon to mine. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">It was quick and simple. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'd love to hear your recipes. What should I do different? I would love to know what your favorite quick homemade recipe it doesn't have to be apple sauce! </div>
