Maifest is a great Brenham tradition and this was the first year the kids were able to participate. I wasn't sure how they would do but they loved it. They had fun playing with the other kids and it was a great way for them to take a step out of their comfort zone. The first practice they were a little shy and we had a few tears but after that they did great and enjoyed every bit of it. </div>

Collin, Addison and Bryce at their first soccer camp</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
This was a fun day put on by the Washington County Soccer League and I thought we would take the kids to see how interested they would be in soccer since they can start playing in the fall. To our surprise Addison was the first one out there ready to play and participate. Collin cried for the first 30 minutes until Steven bribed him to go play. Bryce of course went with the flow, taking a few breaks. The coaches were awesome and in the end the kids all loved it!<br />

This week we have all been at home for spring break. The weather has been wonderful and we have spent a lot of time outside working on projects in the yard, the kids have played outside daily, and even went to the park for a little play time. Wednesday we joined thousands of other people and took the kids to the Houston Zoo. The kids loved seeing so many animals and we enjoyed watching their excitement! </div>

I bravely took 6 kids to family literacy night at Steven's school. The moment we walked in the door the kids (mainly Collin and Addison) started screaming because they saw Clifford the Big Red Dog. Collin and Addison began clinging to me and holding me tight in fright of the Big Red Dog. I tried to explain that it was just Daddy and began to walk closer. It didn't calm anyone's fears! Eventually they understood that it was Daddy but weren't really happy about it. I did get a few pictures with the Big Red Dog but you can see by the pictures that the kids weren't too sure about it. </div>

Last Thursday Bryce came home with a "sad" note. Apparently he and several others from his class were not listening, following directions, or being nice to their friends during gross motor. His teacher sent home the following note and the next day they wrote a letter of apology to Mrs. Amy (their gross motor teacher). </div>

On New Year's Eve we spent the evening with the Maurer's and Rau's. We normally have an annual Maurer/Rau/Siemsglusz Christmas but our schedules were so crazy we decided to gather for a New Year's Eve party instead. We had big plans for a fireworks show but the weather didn't agree with our plans, no worries we made the best of it and had a pretty intense game of pictionary! The kids played well together and were pretty excited to ring in 2013! </div>

Since our new year started we have been dealing with how to control this. I have made several phone calls, doctors appointments, and we now have several medications to hopefully control it!</div>

He eventually got up to go to the restroom and that's when his eye caught a glimpse of the tree and presents. He started screaming Santa came, Addison, Bryce come look, Santa brought us presents. Before you knew it, it was a house full of paper, toys, and three very excited little kids!</span></div>

Christmas day was a busy day full of family, presents and food but we wouldn't have it any other way! After an exciting morning at our house we went to Grandpa Siemsglusz's for lunch, back home for a quick nap, then the Wilde family gathered at our house for more fun that evening.</div>

If I still have any followers still out there they've probably given up on me. Over Christmas break I cleaned out closets and I went crazy organizing my house but I just couldn't get the motivation to blog! It has become a little difficult to use because of several changes to blogger so I'll blame it on that. I'm going to attempt to figure it out so bare with me and if any other bloggers have advice on uploading photos please share your secrets! In the mean time here is a photo from the professional that I promised a long time ago. Stay tuned for more pictures of Christmas and New Year's if I can figure this blog thing out :)</div>

If your thinking you got cut from our Christmas card list you didn't. I was horrible this year and didn't even get Christmas cards out. I did good just getting our Christmas shopping done so I cut the Christmas cards from the list of things to do. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed some time with family. </div>

Last year the kids would not even go in the same room as Santa without running, kicking and screaming. Needless to say we didn't get pictures with Santa last year. This year I thought we better start talking up Santa to get the kids in a picture with Santa. We talked about how he brings us presents and he's so nice. He gives you a candy cane if you take a picture with him and only babies cry on Santa's lap. We told the kids if they want presents on Christmas day they have to tell Santa what they want. Addison told Santa she wanted a necklace and a bracelet. Bryce told Santa he wants a guitar. Collin told Santa that he wants a football helmet. </div>

They were a little hesitant at first but then Santa knew their names and everything was fine. This is the best picture I got with my camera so we will see what the professional pictures look like. </div>

We have had our Elf on the Shelf for a few years now but this is the first year that the kids have really understood the story and the purpose of the elf. We read the story and named our elf Jack In The Box. Addison was the one that chose the name but the boys agreed so that's what we've named him. Not real sure where she came up with the name thought? The kids are so excited about Jack In The Box and find him every morning then come screaming "Mommy come see Jack In The Box"! We've also used him numerous times during fights, tantrums or bedtime to get the kids to mind. Its worked pretty well so far but we will see how long it last! It also helps having Santa "on call" with a handy little iPhone app :)</div>

This is also the first year that we were able to decorate a tree together as a family. I bought special ornaments for each of them and we let them decorate their playroom tree. Most of the ornaments ended up in the same spot but it looked good once we were done. </div>

I have to admit that I'm getting pretty excited about Christmas this year, its something about the joy, excitement, and innocence of a child that makes this time of year such a magical time.</div>
