The In's and Out's of my Life

POTTY TRAINED

2009-09-10T09:10:00.003-04:00

Everyone do a little Happy Dance. Jace is officially potty trained. We have been putting him in underwear for over a month now and for the first 2 weeks he would have about 1 accident per day. But the last 2 weeks have been accident free. YIPPI! And his pull-up is bone dry most mornings.

I am so proud of my little man. Now I am working (again) on getting rid of the sippy cup. He was really good for a while about using a regular cup, but he seemed to revert for some reason.

Jace is just over 2 1/2, he is 33 lbs, 37 in, still wearing 24 mo/2T clothes and his pants fall down because he has no butt, wears a size 9-10 in a shoe, sleeps in a twin size bed. I think that covers all the milestones from the last few months.

Sleeping Babes are a wonderful thing

2009-07-07T09:48:00.002-04:00

Moments like this remind me that being a Mommy is the best job there is.

Jace had threw a cup of water all over me while taking a bath last night, so he was quicly washed, dryed and put straight to bed. He was asleep before the story was even over. Hard to be mad at him for throwing a cup of water when I see that sweet little face.

He has taken to sleeping to sleeping in the guest bedroom in our queen size bed. Boy do they grow up way to fast.

Pittsburgh Slide Show

2009-07-02T11:50:00.002-04:00

If it ever loads properly, here is a slide show of our trip to Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Day One

2009-06-23T13:10:00.005-04:00

The fountain between PNC Park and Heinz Field

Our original plan was to meet up with my sister and her girls at the Pittsburgh Zoo. She got to Pittsburgh about 30 minutes before we did and said it was pouring so we decided to just go the Children's Museum instead. It was a blast.

Mr. Roger's Couch

In their 'arts room' kids can make paper, screen printing, sewing, painting, transfers and who knows what I missed. Jace loved cutting with scissors. Then there is Mr. Rogers neighborhood. Thave it all! The sweaters, shoes, trolley, puppets, couch, traffic light. The kids had a blast and we did to. After that we went to 'the attic'. I am not really sure how to explain that one. There is a 'crooked' room, a super fast slide, different light tricks and all sorts of other gadgets. After the attic is the 'garage'. There is a giant version of Mouse Trap in there, a work shop, a PT cruiser and other things. Then it was off to Bob the Builder. Jace loved that room. He got on all the machines and tried to fix the sink. We skipped the waterworks.

After spending our day at the museum we headed to our hotel to check in. After having dinner we decided to go walk the river and try to wear the kids out. Yeah right. They were still wound for sound when we got back to the room so we went swimming. Then we heard the storms and went back to the room. We watched the news has they had tornado warnings/watches and flooding. Pittsburgh got something like 4 inches of rain in about 3 hours. Crazy. The hotel lost power (we didn't thanks to generators) and the fire alarms went off in some areas.

The guys at the end of day one

Cruisin'

2009-06-08T13:01:00.003-04:00

Jace got a new ride a couple of weeks ago and he is on it every chance he gets. He is great at steering and staying on the sidewalks with it.

It even has a 'power boost' button on it that will allow it to do burnouts and go 'extra' fast. Luckily it can be disabled and until he is a little older we have taken advantage of that option.

So Jace is going HOG wild this summer. LOL

CIRCUS

2009-05-18T10:08:00.004-04:00

We took Jace to the circus yesterday. And let me just say that the circus is not what it used to be. It was more of a musical in my opinion. But, Jace seemed to like it all that is all that matters to me.

First we went outside and 'met' the animals. Jace was asking all day to see the elephants and he was duly impressed when he saw the elephants eating apples. It was actually what he talked abou the rest of the day. It is hilarious to hear him say it too.

After meeting the animals we headed inside to go down to the circus floor and meet the performers. Jace wasn't exactly sure what to think of all the crazy people. But he did good, he never cried or hid his face. He just stared at them in complete and utter awe.

Then we headed up the suite to watch the show. Jace was completely mesmerized for about the first 45 minutes. He didn't take his eyes of the ring and didn't even touch his kid's meal. He did really well and being in the suite helped because he could get up and move around. About the last 20 minutes he was done and I went with him to let him run the halls.

Overall it was a good day and Jace seemed to enjoy it.

Visiting the Folks

2009-05-04T13:43:00.005-04:00

Brain Freeze

We spent the weekend in Pennsylvania visiting my family and celebrating my niece's 3rd birthday. Jace loves going to Grammy and Pappy's house and getting into all sorts of mischief with Pappy (and with just himself)

Here are some pictures from our trip.

When we got back on Sunday I decided to recover my dining room chairs as I want to sell the set and thought it might be easier with new covers.

I am pretty proud of myself, what do you think?

Jace was being a ham after his bath last night. You can't help but love this kid.

What we have been doing

2009-04-30T14:28:00.006-04:00

Life has been busy now that the weather is getting nicer. Once Jace is outside good luck getting him to come back inside.

We had the trees in our back yard taken down and the stumps ground out. That makes a huge mess, but Brent is going to use all the chips to help fill in the 'playground area'. And since the trees came down so did my clothes line. My first and only request was that Brent get me lines built asap so I didn't miss out on the perfect weather we had last weekend. I was able to get 5 loads of laundry hung and dried in one day.

Please ignore the bathing suit. We had swim class this weekend.

I also helped Jace work on some crafts. Of course the lady at Home Depot obviously didn't know what she was talking about and the white paint bubbled off the pots so they are ruined and we have to start all over. Mother's Day gifts might be late this year.

And Jace decided he was going to treat the yard. I swear every tool that Brent has Jace also has. Of course the same can be said for inside the house as well.
Tonight we are off to Pennsylvania to visit family and celebrate my niece's 3rd birthday. Talk to everyone when we return.

MS Walk

2009-04-21T14:38:00.006-04:00

Walk MS 2009 took place this weekend in Columbus, Ohio. We had a blast. There were over 2000 at the zoo at 7:30 in the morning. Being anywhere at 7:30 on a Saturday takes dedication.

Below are some pics that I was able to get. I need to my mom's memory card and see what she was able to get.

The view is much better from up there

We had a blast and raised over $1700. A huge success in my book. The Pennsylvania section of our team walked on Sunday at Penn State and I will get their pics loaded as soon as I get them downloaded.

Thank You to everyone who donated.

New Toy

2009-04-17T09:23:00.003-04:00

So Brent found a very nice set of GE washer and dryer on sale (discontinued models) at Lowe's last night. And of course we bought them and the pedastools for them. We were just going to stack them, but when the guy said he would sell us the $400 pedastools for $148 I just couldn't refuse.

Here they are in all their glory.

Now I have to go buy High Efficiency detergent for them so I can get some laundry done this weekend. I can not go the weekend without doing laundry. I also have to clean up the old washer and dryer and get them posted on craigslist.

Easter

2009-04-15T11:28:00.003-04:00

Easter was fun, but boy was it busy. We had breakfast at home and then we were off to see Brents family and have a late lunch.

The Easter Bunny was very good to Jace. He got 4 books, regular crayons and window crayons, silly putty, sidewalk chalk, and a chocolate bunny.

Here is Jace hunting for eggs. He had a blast and totally got the concept. He was too funny shaking all the eggs to see if there was anything inside.

Jace also got to spend some time with his big brother which he loves to do. Dylan is great with Jace. They love each other.

Coloring Eggs

2009-04-10T08:50:00.008-04:00

I am one of those brave soles who colors Easter eggs with a toddler. This is his second year coloring eggs and he thoroughly enjoys every minute of it.

We used the dye, the wrappers, puff paint and stickers to decorate the eggs.

We had the toothpicks out to unclog the puff paints and he decided to chew on one. He is such a redneck.

And lastly our finished products.

Aren't they the prettiest eggs you have ever seen. And can you guess which ones Jace decorated?

I am sure the Easter Bunny will have a blast hiding our eggs this year.

Yippi, Yahoo, WooHoo

2009-04-07T14:54:00.002-04:00

My camera is here.

About 2 weeks ago I completely forgot that my camera was on top of my coat in the passanger seat of my car. I lifted my coat out and my camera went crashing to the garage floor. And although it still worked I had smashed the LCD screen. Sucked big time. I called around about getting it fixed as the camera is less than a year old, but it would cost more to repair it than to replace it. So I ordered a refurbished one on eBay last week and it arrived today. I am so happy.

What we did on Sunday

2009-04-07T08:40:00.004-04:00

Can you guess what that was used for? Hint: the Easter Bunny was involved.

That helicopter dropped eggs, crayons, coupons, candy and other fun stuff for the Easter Egg hunt that we took Jace to on Sunday. As you can imagine there really wasn't much hunting involved, it was mostly just grapping what you could reach. Jace, of course, just went for the crayons. I swear he walked away with 10 packages of crayons. But he had a good time and that is what matters. The Bunny was scary looking and he screamed bloody murder. Poor kid. We are traumatizing him for life.

I think we need to change the seasons.

2009-04-06T13:57:00.003-04:00

It is April 6 and we are expecting snow. I mean over the weekend it was 60's and 70's and now we pulled back out the winter coats and gloves to prepare for snow.

I have living in the midwest. It is such a tease at times. Is a warm Easter too much to ask. Jace will probably have to cover his cute suit to go out and hunt eggs.

Oh, I am done whining (at least for today).

Sisterly Love

2009-04-03T10:42:00.004-04:00

Because I am missing my little sister I am going to share with the world a picture from over 20 years ago. Anyone care to guess which one is me?

Big Pimpin'

2009-04-02T11:36:00.005-04:00

And a small update on me.Jace was chillin' waiting for the Easter Bunny.

And about me. Well the job I was all excited about last week. It is gone. I will remain a legal secretary until further notice.

Story: The Help Desk position was available because the previous left for maternity leave and was honest about not coming back after her leave. So they began searching and hired me for the spot. I trained for 2 days. At the end of day 2 I got called to HR. It seems that She is now returning to work on May 11 because her husband lost his job so she needs hers. While I am glad she has a job, because I can't imagine a new house and new baby and no job, I am sad because I was really excited. But hey, I still have a job that I like so I am not complaining (too much).

Easter Bunny

2009-03-31T19:57:00.005-04:00

Jace went to visit the Easter Bunny this evening. We had talked about it for days and I thought he was all prepared, but when we got there he refused to sit on Bunny's lap. He would only sit beside him, without me, if he could have his candy. So I figured what would easter pics be without candy.

Enjoy!

High 5 Bunny!

All in all, I think they are good pics. I learned long ago, after working for a portrait studio that a smile isn't everything.

And I got tons of compliments on his outfit which made me feel really good. Of course he only had it on for the 10 minutes total. I changed him in the mall when we got there and as soon as pictures were over he changed back into his 'street' clothes. I am not taking any chances on getting the outfit dirty. I have a feeling it will get dirty on Easter anyway.

Help Desk Analyst

2009-03-26T20:20:00.002-04:00

That is my new title. A few weeks ago I applied for the HDA position at my lawfirm. After 2 interviews and a last minute meeting today I was offered the position.

I am very excited about this move and I can't wait to get started. I am going to greatly miss all my ladies on 32, but they tell me 30 can be quite interesting. And I already work with a few of the ladies testing for them and other various things, so I think I am going to fit it very well in the IS department.

Once I officially take my new position I will be end user support the law firm. From what they tell me and from what I know, from actually having to call the Help Desk now and then, I will be handling mostly technical calls, helping people format documents, set up webinars, fix copy machines, and any other sort of thing that my coworkers call me about. It should be a very interesting and challenging job.

I will keep you all updated on how it goes. I am not sure how much down time I will have, but I won't forget about all of you.

I am once again a Fingo Head

2009-03-26T14:42:00.002-04:00

Well my lymphocyte levels have finally reached at least .6 so I was able to go back on Fingolimod. I spent all of yesterday (8:30 - 3) at the MS Clinic so they could monitor me all day. My heart rate stayed within the required range so they let me go after the initial 8 hours.

So I don't have to go back again till May 7th. And that day is going to be a day of fun. But hopefully it will all be worth it.

Talk to you all later.

I have issues with toys

2009-03-23T10:10:00.006-04:00

It seems Jace has a bit of an issue with living in one place for any amount of time as yesterday he bought another new house. I have to give him credit though in that this time his first mansion and his condo are gone so there is only one house in the back yard.

This is our yard. Not much room left for anything else. And technically he now has 5 slides, although one slide is turned over to make steps for the climber that is in the corner.

The house with the green roof was his original mansion. He has since sold it to cover the cost of his new mansion that comes with a deck and a slide.

And please excuse the mess in the back yard. Brent was power washing a bunch of stuff and when he does that, Jace feels the need to pull all of his toys out of the shed.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

2009-03-17T08:36:00.002-04:00

I hope you are wearing green. If not then here is my virtual pinch.

I have no pictures to go with todays post because my little leprecaun was being stubborn and would not look at me and he put his arms over his shirt so I couldn't share the cuteness of it (It is green and says "Not Lucky, Just Cute" inside a white shamrock).

I think he is in the adolescent puberty stage where he has to defy everything I tell him. And slowly but surely the contents of his bed are making their way to my living room. It seems he carries out a new piece each morning and is nonchalantly making a bed out of my recliner. Sneakly little booger.

Hope you all have a great day, I am off to eat my green bagel and we are having fish and chips for dinner.

What a great weekend

2009-03-09T11:38:00.006-04:00

It was 70 degrees on Saturday. We spent all day outside playing. We got the mansion put together and Jace loves it. He would not allow us to go inside. We had to bribe him to take a nap. But before beginning play time we had to run a few errands. He wanted to wear his cowboy boots so I broke out the wranglers and plaid shirt to make him a full cowboy. Isn't he just so cute?

Once we got home and changed clothes, he took turns alternating between playing on the swingset to wanting to ride in his wagon. So I got lots of exercise.

Here are a few pics of Jace letting his monkey genes shine through. He is climbing across the monkey bars on his swingset. He was able to crawl all the way across, turn around and crawl the whole way back. I had to tell him a few times that he was not allowed to stand up. Silly BOY!

I am going to call Children's Emergency Room and see if they will let me start prepaying on the foresee bills. As I am sure we will be seeing them again since my boy seems to have absolutely no fear what so ever.

And I wonder why I am gray at 28.

March is MS Awarenes Month

2009-03-03T10:35:00.004-05:00

And to celebrate I am giving away a basket full of yummy chololate treats from Gardners Candies.

In this basket you will find 8 oz. of chocolate covered pretzels, 9 oz. assorted truffles, 2 peanut butter candy bars, 1 carmel candy bar, 1 cappuccino bar, 1 chocolate covered oreo, 1 pair of white chocolate crocs (orange in color), and a bag of peach jelly belly jelly beans.

All this has a value of $49.95. And for the price of a $2 raffle ticket there is a chance it could all be yours.

You can enter the raffle by emailing me and I will give you my address to send your money to or you can go to http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/Angela.Besecker and make a donation there. Just let me know if you do it that way and I will add your 'ticket' to the drawing.

The drawing will be held on Friday, March 6 at 1 pm.

Thanks and have a great day.

Jace won the lottery...

2009-02-26T08:47:00.004-05:00

And he decided he needed a bigger house.

But like all the Besecker men he is very frugal with his money so it is not at all in living condition. It needs a good power washing and well it needs all the nuts and bolts to put it together. So the picture above is just a picture of the 'model home'. But when the weather breaks and the men can get to it, they will clean it up and get it together so Jace can move in and invite all his friends over for a party.

So now his first condo will be cleaned up and put on the market as soon as his new house is ready to live in.

I tell ya, that kid has a spending problem and he needs to stay far far away from craigslist.

Spring Cleaning

2009-02-25T08:33:00.002-05:00

This is my newest Craigslist deal. We paid $30 for it. Jace loves it, but he has some major spring cleaning to do before it will be nice. Brent will power wash it once it gets warm and that should take care of the majority of it. The previous owners even threw in the 'bike' and a tonka truck. One heck of a deal for a little boy.

Here is what the floor inside looks like. I think this house needs to be condemned until further notice. I am not sure what is all in there. I will be wearing gloves to clean that out.

I have no idea where he gets his sense of style

2009-02-20T10:19:00.002-05:00

This is my son, yes I will admit it. At this moment he is wearing a sweatsuit material romper thingy, navy blue windpants under that and Brent's socks on his hands.

He slept in the romper outfit and when I was getting him dressed this morning he would not take it off. So all I got on him was clean socks and the pants. He refused to put a shirt on.

Brent said he is not taking him anywhere today dressed liked this. I don't see anything wrong with the outfit. LOL

Issues

2009-02-20T08:39:00.002-05:00

I think I am in the midst of an MS relapse. As a quick update - I was taken off the fingolimod (oral trial drug) at the beginning of February because my Lymphocyte levels dropped too low. I can't go back on the medication till my levels reach at least .6 which we are hoping will only take 1 month, but there is no way to be sure. I just have to keep getting my blood tested until it is high enough again.

Anyway back to the relapse. My upper right back, shoulder blade area, as gone numb tingly again and my upper arm is very heavy feeling. I have also been getting the headaches/shooting pain above my left eye that I usually get when Optic Neuritis wants to visit.

I have emailed my study coordinator and will see what she says. I am sure it will mean a visit to all my lovely doctors, which I am not looking forward to, but I am required to report all this since I am still considered a trial participant.

I will keep everyone updated on what happens.

Valentine's Day

2009-02-16T12:04:00.004-05:00

We took Jace to AHA Children's Museum for the day. He had a blast

He was rocking his shirt!

And he had to paint his own face. My artwork was just not good enough for him. What do you think- Make Up Artist for a career?By the smile on his face, I would say he had a great day!

It never crossed my mind to take my camera, so I had to take pictures on my phone. I don't know why I didn't think to take it.

Three's Company

2009-02-15T14:49:00.002-05:00

Meet Dooser ( he needs a new name). Dooser is a 5 lb min pin/chihuahua mix. He is about 4 months old and he is he newest member of our family. Dooser was left on the sidewalk at Thanksgiving with a note saying "Free to a good home". So my babysitters son and daughter-in-law took him it. But they have since decided that they can't give him a good home, so they have given him to us. He is tiny. We are thinking Zues, Spike, Steve for names. Zues is my pick so far.

And he is tiny. Here is laying beside our Terrier.

Jace TWO Year checkup

2009-02-09T14:44:00.003-05:00

Brent reported that it went well and Jace just layed on the table the whole time. They checked his hemoglobin levels by pricking his toe and he is not anemic.

He is 28 lbs 13 oz, and 35 inches tall, his head circumference is 20 inches. Average kid of mine. Of course he falls into the 94% for his head. We always say he is a jug head and the experts just agree with us I guess. LOL. I love my kid.

But he is doing great and we can reintroduce nuts, fish and eggs into his diet. I am sure that will make him a very happy little boy. Fish sticks and omelets were some of his favorite foods. We also have to start weaning him off of whole milk and get him to take a less fatty version. That should be fun.

What a Weekend

2009-02-08T20:05:00.009-05:00

I took off work on Friday so that Jace and I could hang out in his 2nd Birthday. We went shopping and then we went to Color My World and made a plate with his handprints on it.

On Friday night my little sister and I went out just the 2 of us for the first time in probably 4 years. We just went to Applebee's and had a few drinks but it was great to get away and have a gossip/bitch fest with my little sis.

Saturday was the big birthday party. I was expecting about 25-30 people at my house at 11 am. Luckily the menu was just sloppy joes, chips, and relish tray. Easy peasy. Ashley made the cake so I didn't even have to worry about that.

I think it was a great cake and everyone loved it. Here are a few other pictures from Jace's party.

Saturday night Grandma kept all three grandkids overnight so that we could all go out. It was a blast. Ashley, Dave, Brent and I went to Dave & Busters. I haven't been there in a couple of years. We literally closed the place the down (LOL) and then we went to Tee Jays for breakfast. Wow the memories that brought back.

So all in all it was a great weekend. I miss my sister and can't wait to go visit her at the beginning of May.

Ok, so I started this blog and then never did anything with it. So lets see if I can figure this all out.

Here are some clips of Jace's 2 year photo shoot. He was a ham and loves the camera.

Here is is with the step stool that Grammy and Pappy made him for Christmas. This stool goes with him everywhere and allows him to complete many things- good and bad. He has even figured out to climb on the kitchen counters with it.

Jace loves his tools. We had to buy him a tool bag after Christmas because he had so many and they were everywhere. Now he just carries his tool bag around. It is adorable.

6 Month Shots

Jace got his six month shots on Tuesday. Brent took him and he did great. He got 3 shots again and one oral vacination. When I got home he was playing in his exersaucer like nothing was wrong.

He weighs 18.1 lbs. The nurse said that he is the size of a 12 month old. Such a big boy we are raising.

We are both getting over our colds. I am feeling much better, I just sound like crap. And you can't even tell that Jace is sick. He has been such a trooper through all of this.

I am going to tell Brent about this blog and we will see if he contributes.

Talk to you all later.

Hey everyone. I can't wait to get this up and running. I think it will help everyone stay in touch and see how fast Mr. Jace is growing.

I can hardly believe that he is 6 months old already. Where has the time gone. He goes today for his 6 month shots. Poor little guy. But Daddy is the evil bad person this month. Not me. But I still feel like I should be there for him.
