Last week we got to go to Disneyland with some friends. It's so fun hanging out with my girls. It was a crazy crowded day (Utah/AZ spring breakers!) and we had a run in with a crazy woman on the carousel but still such a fun day. Nora was good at hanging out in her stroller while Ami walked/rode. Nora had her first taste of a sucker (through plastic covering) and was very angry when I took it away from her. Amelie is full of so much personality these days and is becoming quite the big girl. She however had zero interest in going on Splash Mountain with her bestie Juliette. She was more interested in making out with the horse statues. This girl:) I have to say 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 was a little rough with this one, but she is breaking out of that funk and is so fun to have around. We made sure to bring Ollie a delish treat home because he was at school. I still have yet to decide if I really want to get passes. It's just so exhausting! We will see...Becky, Ryan, Oliver, Amelie, and Norahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09798022772867784167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399304479266972930.post-44438363255836132222014-03-19T22:12:00.002-07:002014-03-19T22:12:57.673-07:00Nativity and Christmas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We had a wonderful Christmas at Nana and Papa's house. We went caroling and had a nativity. Amelie loved being Mary, can't you tell? We left treats out for Santa and his reindeer. Luckily our kids are pretty easy to please so all the presents were a hit and we felt so much Christmas cheer as we thought about our Saviors birth. It was Nora's first Christmas and she loved trying to eat the wrapping paper:) Becky, Ryan, Oliver, Amelie, and Norahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09798022772867784167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399304479266972930.post-3132662480772094232013-12-10T11:43:00.001-08:002013-12-10T11:43:10.932-08:00OCMCO Concert Dec. 6<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oliver and my Dad were in the last Orange County Millennial Choir and Orchestra performance. I really can't believe how good that choir is! Oliver is in the young singers chorus which is four to six years old! I just think it's amazing that they can teach these kids to be so disciplined and sing their hearts out on stage in front of all those people. My little Ollie boy was so proud and so excited. He did so well! This will be something we do for a long time. I believe so strongly in the power of music and the discipline that comes from learning at a young age. I love this choir and am so proud of my Dad and Ollie for all their hard work! Makes me miss choir!

Thanksgiving this year was so nice. We had about half the family in town. Chelsea, Patrick and Laura came home from Provo and Leah and Steve came with their boys and brand new baby Kendall. My mom made some of the best food ever and we had a great time with family. My mom had also invited a few sisters from her ward and their kids which always makes you grateful you have so much to share. Everyone got to hit up DreamWorks for lunch the day before which was so fun. Any day I get to see Ryan for lunch is a good day! We had some wonderful beach weather and some of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen. Blessings all around. All that is good comes from Him.

We decorated a little early this year. We just couldn't help it. When it starts to feel like Christmas, you must embrace the season, even if that happens to be before Thanksgiving. I've always thought of the two holidays so intermingled anyways so it's never bothered me. We had fun decorating our tree this year with music playing, hot cocoa and sugar cookies. My mom brought over some soup and I made some rolls and Andrea and her family came over and we watched Elf. It was perfect and I love filling my home with family and friends and feeling so much love. Nora gets to have her first Christmas and we couldn't be more excited to show her what it's all about. I love having a chubby new baby to share Christmas time with. Ryan and I keep saying who needs presents with a baby like Nora around! She is the best present of all!

These pics were taken Nov. 4, doing a little catch up as usual:) Ollie came home from school with an extremely loose tooth. So I had to document the last picture of his baby teeth before he lost his first. What a big moment for our Ollie boy! So Ryan actually tried to pull it out that night and it ended up hurting too much so we decided to give it another day and see if Ollie could wiggle it even looser. Well wouldn't you know that when Ollie came home from school, he had his pulled tooth neatly in a bag to proudly show us all! He was so excited! He just lost his second tooth on Friday night so now we are on a roll. We keep telling him soon he'll look like toothless Nora:) Becky, Ryan, Oliver, Amelie, and Norahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09798022772867784167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399304479266972930.post-20799752525754655282013-12-10T10:08:00.001-08:002013-12-10T10:08:12.835-08:00Griffith Park Pony Rides<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last month the kids and I went to visit Ryan at work and we decided to ride ponies on our way through Griffith Park. I really love that area of L.A. It just feels so old school. The kids were SO excited to ride the ponies and were really surprised how fast those guys could go. I actually had a few nervous moments but all was well in the end and the kids has a blast while Nora looked on:)Becky, Ryan, Oliver, Amelie, and Norahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09798022772867784167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399304479266972930.post-8824686139512633002013-10-14T15:39:00.003-07:002013-10-14T15:39:47.208-07:00Fall is here!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hmmmmm so I might as well give a little update on everyone:) <br />
<br />
Ryan is crazy busy at work. He thankfully got taken off most of his facilities duties to focus more on construction which was a huge blessing because the facilities stuff was just getting ridiculous. He is doing more construction which is what he likes to do anyways. Commute is still going good. There are days I wish he wasn't a 2 hour train ride away but he gets so much done on the train and is all unwound and ready to play with us when he gets home. Plus we love living here close to family, friends and the beach:)<br />
<br />
Oliver is doing great in 1st grade. We are working on memorizing words, reading, and math. He picks up on things pretty fast. We've been reading Charlotte's Web and he's loved that and giggled through the whole thing. He still spends most of his spare time drawing. He's constantly coming up with new ideas for pokemon characters, movies, and video games. He has an amazing creative mind. He is always striving to be sweet and helpful. He is in OCMCO this year and is gearing up to sing in their holiday concert. He has a great voice and perfect pitch. He is famous for his high, perfect vibrato to Disney songs in our house. He is still rocking gymnastics and is really good. His coach already wants to talk about him making team so we are trying to figure out if that's something we all want to do. <br />
<br />
Amelie is loving time at home with Nora and I, playing playdoh, dolls, making forts, baking, painting and coloring. She has recently gotten really good at drawing and is making cute pictures with little bodies and long blond hair. She is a good independent player which makes life much easier when I've got Nora to take care of. She is going to preschool twice a week and really loves her time with her friends. She is learning her letters and numbers and is spelling her name and getting very curious about lots of learning. She's been in ballet but may not want to continue so we are trying to find something else she'd like to do. She still constantly talks about her Hawaii home and will not put warmer clothes on. She things life should be an endless summer in sun dresses. My kind of girl:)<br />
<br />
Nora is 5 months now and getting more and more fun. She is so smiley and just waits to catch anyone's attention so she can flash that gummy smile. It seems she's been teething for a while but who knows. She has a cold right now and hasn't been feeling like herself but is still pretty happy. She's been waking up at night almost every 2 hours which has been really hard on her and me. I'm trying to soothe her and enjoy the quiet time at night with her but it's hard when it's so exhausting. I actually walked into a wall last night after putting her back down because I was so delirious. I'm ready for her not to be sick and for sleep to get better. She is rolling over like crazy and is pushing herself up with her arms. She can make lots of sounds and enjoys hearing herself loudly "squawking" as we call it. She also loves to make a really low long sound and hear the vibration. I love to watch her feel so impressed with herself and all the cool things she's learning. You can just tell she's proud. She is still a lightweight as far as I can tell. I'm guessing she's 14-15 pounds from what my scale says. She still has strawberry blonde hair, some would say red :) It looks like her eyes are turning green but it's still hard to tell. As far as I can see, she's my baby twin through and through. She especially loves to watch Oliver and laugh at him when he gets into his giggling fits (which is often). <br />
<br />
Other than the sleep deprivation I am loving life with my 3 kiddos right now. I've even had moments, dare I say, that I've wanted 3 more. For some reason having 3 kids has made me want more, but who knows if that is a fleeting thought. We are immensely blessed with these 3 beauties. Days are busy with activities and friends to meet up with, and I am enjoying my mandatory home time while Nora takes her naps. Getting things structured isn't something I'm great at but it does give me a sense of accomplishment. Nora is still nursing which is a love/hate thing for me. Sometimes I want my body back to enjoy a little freedom, but other times, I love the convenience and bond that it gives. I've never made it past 8 months without feeling over it so we'll see. I'm getting out and exercising whenever I have the time/motivation/strength. So yeah, it's a slow process. I'm learning a little humility this time around because the baby weight has not come off like it did before. Learning a little patience and keeping expectations reasonable. I am looking forward to the day when I feel comfortable in my body again. I am lucky to have a husband who tells me I'm beautiful everyday no matter what. Seriously what would I do without Ryan. He is my favorite and I love him more and more everyday. When days are hard and long, I want to run away with him for a while. Soon enough. Feeling blessed that my parents are close and help so much. It's so fun to live by both our parents and watch them with our kids. I wish all our family could be close. Life would be better. We get to see all my family in Feb as we are all planning a trip to Disneyworld which will be super fun. The kids already can't wait and talk about it non-stop. We are blessed more than we know.

My parents invited everyone to the bluffs at Niguel Shores for a delicious dinner. It seriously could not have been a more gorgeous night. Nothing like good company and a beautiful evening by the ocean. It's time for them to move here:)<br />

Ryan and Mary rented this awesome beach house on 15th street in Newport Beach. The first two days they were there it was awesome weather, 90 and sunny. And then in classic October style, it got freezing and rainy a few days later. I always love the rainy weather. Gives you an excuse to sit at home in front of a fire drinking hot cocoa and watching movies:) We went to the park that morning as the drizzle started and luckily ran home just as the downpour hit. The kids were excited and soggy.<br />

Is this not the sweetest 4 year old face you've ever seen?! She made this cake with me the morning of her party. She wanted yellow cake with chocolate frosting in the middle and strawberries, and white frosting on the outside with sprinkles. We made it from scratch and I do have to say it was really good.</div>

All our friends and neighbors came to celebrate! It was super fun and I'm so happy to have my little Ami girl in our family. She adds so much spunk and humor and love. She is really into reading, singing, cooking, and painting these days. Oh and playdoh. She is a good friend and loves to have playdates with all her favorite girls (we are still learning to like boys). She loves to have mama's attention and any chance I get in the morning, we have ourselves a nice snuggle before the craziness of the day begins. This girl is strong and special. I can't wait to see how she grows.

Some of our little group. We went with my friend Brittney and her kids, and Andrea and her kids. Brittney has some great hookups with Disney (her hubby works for Disney) and so she got us in for free, which was such a treat considering we never go because it's so expensive. What a treat!<br />

It was literally over 100 degrees that day. We probably picked the hottest day of the year to go but at least the crowds were smaller because nobody wanted to brave the heat. We were sweating bullets all day, especially my Nora girl. She was such a trooper and just hung out the whole day, occasionally taking a nap in her stroller. </div>

Our little Nora bean is 4 months old now! She is getting to be so much fun around here. I love 4 months because babies really start to pay attention to everything and everyone around them. She loves to watch Oliver and Ami play and I often ask them to "babysit" Nora while I take a shower or try and get something done. Oliver is her seatmate in the car and constantly talks to her, sings to her, and gives her a binkie if she gets sad. She has been rolling over for a while now. She's a very physical girl, always arching her back and trying to crawl and reach for things. She's a happy baby and smiles at everyone. I think she's about 14 pounds, our smallest baby yet, although she's got some good rolls to show for all her eating. She talks all the time, constantly telling us all about what she thinks about life. She is known for her chubby cheeks and big eyes. It's always the first thing people notice. She also has some very red hair right now. We're not sure if it will stick around or not, considering Oliver and Amelie both had reddish hair for a bit. Her eyes still haven't gotten their color yet, I am guessing green or brown at this point but it changes everyday. She is not napping very well these days with the craziness of running the other two around. She usually wakes up twice a night but goes back down quickly. She is still sleeping in our closet because it's quiet and dark and it seems to be working fine for now, although she has a room if she needs it. She is not shy to let everyone know if she's unhappy. She likes to play and is getting very ticklish. She's recently discovered blowing bubbles and cant get enough of that new trick. She is so much fun. We love having her in our family.Becky, Ryan, Oliver, Amelie, and Norahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09798022772867784167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399304479266972930.post-19966318351933478322013-08-27T23:11:00.002-07:002013-08-28T18:41:09.298-07:00Facer Family Reunion August 2013<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody>

We had a really fun visit this past week going to the Bonner's house for a visit. My mom generously drove Ollie and Amelie while Nora and I flew there (Nora has a bit of a crying problem in the car). It was so fun seeing Leah and her growing baby girl tummy and those sweet boys. Leah got to meet little Nora who unfortunately wanted to be held by her mama the whole time. Not the best first impression:) Carson wanted to take care of Nora the whole time and every time she would cry, he would run over to put a blanket on her or bring her a toy. The sweetest boy in the world. I can tell he will love his baby sister. We got to go to the park, the jelly belly factory, play in the backyard on the tramp and celebrate Uncle Steve's bday. It was so fun to play with cousins and hang out with my mom and Leah. Can't wait to see that new little baby girl soon!<br />

A few weeks ago we went to SeaWorld for DreamWorks employee appreciation day. It was a really fun day the started with being front and center in the soak zone! I'm not sure if we were prepared for how soaking wet we got. I caught myself running up the stairs away from the tidal wave trying to keep Nora dry which worked the first time. The second time I turned around looking for the wave only to get hit head on with it. Nora slept through the whole thing:) We went with Andrea and her family and Laura was in town with her friend Eric. It was a super fun day had by all. I still feel really bad whenever I see animals in captivity. Andrea and I kept drilling the employee's about the living conditions of the animals. I'm sure they really appreciated it, haha.

We blessed our sweet little Nora on Sunday. What a privilege it is to have a father who honors his priesthood and can give his children these amazing blessings for the future. Ryan did a great job even though Nora screamed through the whole thing. I knew she would:) If we could do it again, Ryan would have held her close so she didn't feel so insecure and then we could have heard everything better. Ryan also gave a wonderful talk after the blessing. Busy day! Here are some highlights of her blessing...<br />
That she develop a relationship with God at an early age<br />
To trust him<br />
Be an inspiration to her family and have a good relationship with her brother and sister and parents<br />
To above all trust her Heavenly Father<br />
Return to him and receive all his blessings<br />
Recognize the miracles he has in store for you<br />
Be a good missionary<br />
To never be burdened with fear or doubt<br />
Touch the lives of many people<br />
<br />
After the blessing we headed to my parents house to eat lunch on the bluff with family. We also sang happy birthday to my sweetheart who was turning 30 the next day! I wish that everyone in the world could find their Ryan Facer. He makes life so sweet and there isn't a day that goes by that I can't believe he's mine.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love watching my little Nora change each day. She is so funny to watch and has the best facial expressions. She has gotten so smiley and chatty lately. She loves to be held. What baby doesn't?! She is sleeping pretty well at night, ranging from 3-5 hours at a time. I drank a big diet coke the other day and she did not appreciate that. It kept her and I up all night! She still does not like the car but I feel like she's warming up. She still doesn't like diaper changes or baths. She is a very easily startled girl. Every little sound she jumps at. She loves to watch and Oliver and Amelie and laughed for the first time this week while Ollie was playing "peek a Nora". She is trying really hard to find her fingers. I could (and do) kiss her all day long. I love seeing my babies at this age next to each other. They are all individuals but made from the same love. I definitely think my little Nora is a mini-me. I've got to pull up some pics of Ryan and I as babies so we can see. I was looking at my baby photos at my parents house a few weeks back and I saw Nora in those photos. It's so amazing to create these little people. What a privilege. </div>

Nora is quite the adventurer these days. She has been to the beach more times than I can count in her short month on the earth which is just as it should be. My sister Annie has been in town with her cute family so we all met at the tidepools last weekend. Ami had fun running from the waves with Gage and discovering a cave. Amelie also got nailed by a wave which explains the no clothes situation. That's how she prefers it anyways. Andin and Ollie were the ultimate explorers off on their own. You gotta love newborns who mostly sleep while being carted around. Thank heavens for the ergo carrier (thanks Andrea:) because it lets me do whatever I need to like beaching it, cleaning the house, cooking, gardening, and blowdrying my hair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are a few things we've learned about Nora in her first month...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She does not like the carseat. At all. I think the moving car and all the bumps make her feel really nervous and insecure. Whatever happened to newborns just sleeping in the car? Hopefully this one will pass because as a third child, the car is sort of inevitable. And I don't like being trapped at home:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She also does not like the baby swing. I'm keeping it around in case she changes her mind but so far no dice in that department. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She started out as the ultimate mama's girl but is gradually letting others hold her and be content.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has a fussy time from about 7-10 every night</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has had a bit of thrush which we have realized was causing her fussiness. She is much happier now that it seems to be getting better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is starting to smile in response to our voices as well as make little coo'ing sounds here and there</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She likes to sleep on her tummy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She took her 1st bottle of pumped milk like a champ. Here's to hoping for a date night in the near future!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She takes a binky better than Oliver or Ami but still doesn't love it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has been sleeping in 2, 3, and 4 hour spurts, but slept 6 hours straight the other night! She mostly sleeps in our bed which is her favorite place to sleep so far. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has spit up just a few times and hardly ever poops. What a classy lady:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes I'm sure her eyes will be brown but they have been looking very blue lately. Her hair is also lightening up quite a bit and falling out (just like her siblings). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Basically, she is pure heaven and we love her</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In other news, school is out in a week! Summertime is highly anticipated in our household. Ollie is excited to take a break from school and sign up for Art and Karate at the YMCA. Amelie is registered for Ballet for the summer and can't wait to shop for her outfit. Ryan is excited it's going to start staying light out long enough to surf after work and I can't wait to have no schedule whatsoever. Oliver has been a great big brother loving on Nora and being Amelie's constant play companion. Amelie is really starting to warm up to Nora and even gave her a "go team" high five the other day. Since Nora screams non-stop in the car, the kids have had a hard time with it, especially Ami. The other day she said, "Mom I'm growing up! I'm not complaining about Nora crying!" We kept telling her that baby's cry sometimes and there's nothing we can do about it but try and be grownup and not complain. Well she figured it out! It still drives us all crazy but at least its more manageable without the whole car in tears:) </div>

Nora's skin apparently did not like bath time very much. Splotchy and red:( She didn't seem to mind<br />

She loves this musical seahorse and it can calm her down when she is crying. To think of it, it makes us all a little sleepy.<br />

One of the few times she has used her swing without crying. Not a fan of the swing but still pretty cute<br />

We got to celebrate Mother's Day shortly after our little Nora's arrival. What better time to celebrate mothers than with a brand new baby straight from heaven! I could never express how grateful I am to be a mother of these sweet children of mine. I am so grateful for my mother who is a constant source of love and support. I admire her testimony and her ability to love others. Happy Mother's Day to all the sweet mama's out there!Becky, Ryan, Oliver, Amelie, and Norahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09798022772867784167noreply@blogger.com0
