Sorry for the hiatus... the past few weeks have been CRAZY. As in, finding out that the constant debilitating pain you've been suffering from was the result of your reproductive organs playing an irreversible game of rag doll inside of you kind of crazy. To properly punish said organs, they must be removed (you have to nip this kind of behavior in the bud, after all) and maybe slapped around a bit. This revelation was followed by two weeks of people expressing their astonishment at a 30 yr old requiring a hysterectomy and then two weeks of doing precisely nothing whilst recovering from surgery. I still have 4 weeks of recovery left, BUT I can now do some things like the all important ability to actually pick up my laptop... aren't you glad? ;-) </div>

Anyhoo, I'm behind... as I always am these days. But I do have pictures to make up for it! Micah was very happy when soccer started back up a few weeks ago and he was proud to pose before his first game.</div>

Lizzie has been super unhappy that Micah is playing this year and that she is not yet old enough to join a team. The first game she sat on the sidelines and cried the entire time.."I.... want.... to.... play!!!" Poor kid. The good news is that she will be old enough to play in the fall and boy is she ready!! Jane is also practicing her soccer skills... we should be able to market her as a ringer by the time she is old enough to play :)<br />

I have a friend whom I look up to for her hospitality and for the fun things she does for her kids. She's the only person I've ever met who has finished Christmas shopping before me and I'm just thankful to have a friend who "gets" that side of me :) Well, for the second year in a row, she pulled together an egg hunt for all of our kids at a local park... it was so fun! It was one of those perfect times when everyone is available, 95% of the kids are happy and the weather is perfect. Janie took off the second I put her down and started exploring the park...</div>

Now, this was crazy. Cade brought his soccer ball and Janie was kicking it all around the playground! It was pretty impressive for such a young kid! She stayed on her feet the whole time and kicked it at least 25 feet total... It's too bad that the Y doesn't have soccer for toddlers... she might be ready for an 18 mo old team in the fall ;-)<br />

We didn't think there was any way we would get all the kids to sit still for a picture... It may not be perfect, but all the kids sat there, facing generally the correct direction, for maybe 5 minutes while we all snapped away.. it was a genuine miracle.<br />

Two of Micah's lifelong friends. Sean, Cade and Micah have been playing together since Micah was 2 months old. This is ridiculously cliche, but they do really grow up so fast.<br />

Ok, so it's kind of my fault. I'm a planner and I bought the party favors for Micah's class pretty stinking early. As soon as the kids saw them it became the only topic of conversation.<br />
<br />
"Is it Easter tomorrow."<br />
"Nope. __ more days/weeks"<br />
"AWWW MAN!!"<br />
<br />
Pretty much that convo every day... sometimes 2-3 times a day. Anyhoo, last Thursday their parties were finally here! Micah's party was first and I couldn't resist including this pic. Even though Micah is the only kid looking at the camera, he's just SO excited...<br />

Ah yes, bluebonnet season... the time of year when simply driving down the highway means being treated to a beautiful display of blues, oranges, yellows and reds. It really is one of my absolute favorite things about Texas. It also means that it's time to load up your kiddos to go bonnet hunting :)</div>

One of the greatest joys I have as a mother is seeing my kids interact with the people who meant the most to me growing up. Somehow they seem to realize that this is a special person and a special relationship. One of my closest friends (for 25 years now) Rachel is just one example. The kids love her and always hang all over her when she's here.. it makes my heart happy.</div>

To be completely honest, when I found out Lizzie was a girl I was 99% excited and 1% completely terrified. I am not a girly girl and I began to wonder if I would be able to do the girly things well. It turns out, it's actually REALLY fun to be girly. I may still need to call in back-up when the girls want to know how to apply make up, but I've got the toddler girly thing down. That's why it was SO MUCH FUN to put together a dress up party for Lizzie's 3rd birthday!</div>

This sweet girl is very reserved. I've been trying to get her to warm up to me since she was born with very rare success. After the party on Saturday I saw her at church twice... the first time she beamed at me and the second time she waved excitedly and yelled "HI!!". I guess I found the way to Anna's heart :)<br />

And of course this patience all comes from the fact that they really don't understand what is coming, so they can't be impatient for it... love it :) I figure this was probably our last relaxed year though. Even so, I fully intend on enforcing the breakfast before presents thing every year.. I'm just aware that the amount of complaining will probably increase by a factor of 2 every year from here on out. And with that, I leave you with a picture of Lizzie not really feeling like getting her picture taken...</div>

Did I mention that it was a busy December for us? Well, when my mom heard about a new pick your own strawberry farm out west of Katy, we decided to add one more thing to the schedule. Micah and Lizzie had SOOOOOO much fun!</div>

I loved it too because, unlike the normal strawberry picking experience, this farm grows them hydroponically. So no kneeling in dirt required! This was particularly good for me since I seriously injured my knee the week before (this was also why I couldn't do the ice slide at the Gaylord Texan... boo!). I'm doing physical therapy for it and it's getting better. But you just have to expect this sort of injury when you are a Wii Just Dance champion like me. Not even kidding... that's how I hurt it :P Anyways, Lizzie and Pa partnered up and had a great time....<br />

Can I confess something? I love school parties. I loved them as a kid and I love attending them now as a parent. I somehow think this comes from the same gene that makes me enamored with gift shops.. but I can't be totally sure about that. Anyways, Micah's party was up first in the day and he was kind enough to give me a big chicken nugget smile~</div>

Micah's party was at lunchtime and Lizzie's followed that afternoon. Now, here's the thing with the 2 yr old parties... they throw them at 2 pm instead of midday because kids that age won't normally be ok with Mommy coming in for half an hour and then leaving them again. It's smart, but it also means that nap time gets cut short. I never remember that being an issue with Micah's class at that age, but Lizzie is in a class of big sleepers. It was kind of hilarious because when we got there all the kids were dazed and still in a nap hangover. NOBODY could get them to smile...<br />

Lizzie and Micah loved the giant decorations in the courtyard. From huge train sets to this big tree, they were all in...<br />

I promise I haven't forgotten about the blog but right now it won't let me post pictures! And as we all know, mommy brain has consumed my ability to write anything worthy of standing as text alone. I have pictures from a December trip to Dallas, strawberry picking, Christmas, Jane's birthday party, the kids' Christmas parties at school... ahhhh, so behind! Hopefully Blogger will pull it together so I can catch up :)<br />

Yep, sweet baby Jane is 1 year old today! Janie is a total stereotype of a girl... she talks constantly, but rarely makes too much sense; she knows exactly what she wants, and protests loudly if she doesn't get it; and she is a big believer in beauty sleep. Baby girl is a handful! My dad very appropriately pointed out that watching Janie is a full time job. She is way more work than the other two put together. Mostly just because she is always on the go. She is so good natured about it though that it's difficult to be annoyed or frustrated by it. Jane has been taking small steps off and on for over a month, but yesterday she decided she was ready to really tackle this whole walking thing. She kept standing up, taking 2-5 steps and sitting back down only to repeat it almost immediately. You could tell that she had finally decided she wanted to do it :) <br />
<br />
Jane's photo session was.... ummmmm, interesting this month. Between my bum knee and her total lack of interest in taking pictures, we had some challenges to face. Our first approach was to administer happy (apple) juice...<br />

At this point I think it's necessary to begin this post by saying, "if anyone still reads this".... Yeah, I've fallen behind. This month has been nuts with trying to get everything ready for Christmas and Jane's birthday not to mention helping to plan church events and going out of town several times. Ok, ok enough excuses. So here is something we did TWO weeks ago..... We went to Dewberry Farm to cut down our own Christmas tree and let the kids have some fun on the farm.</div>

Yup, in South Texas this is what you wear to cut down your Christmas tree. And can I tell you something? We were hot... in this... at 10 am. I guess we should have worn shorts ;-) <br />

Give Janie a piece of hay and she's happy, indefinitely. We took a hay ride out to the fields where they grow the trees and I learned an important lesson. When a random guy using your camera tells you to smile and say "Christmas tree!!!", ignore him. Otherwise, you may end up with the expression I have on my face here --><br />

That's what I get for trying to be festive. After turning down many trees for defects that apparently I alone was skilled enough to detect (I can be kind of a Christmas tree perfectionist... I'm pretty sure Nate dreads the picking out process every year.) we found out tree and Nate set about cutting it down. Micah, of course, was managing the process loudly... it's not his fault that he always knows the best way to do things, and that he always wants to impart that knowledge ;-)<br />

<br />
After conquering our tree with the abnormally sharp saw provided by Dewberry, we dragged it back to the pickup area and proceeded back to the farm while the tree got all gussied up for us. Nate took on slide mountain with the older kids....<br />

As a parent you have to time your picture taking to make sure you maintain the perception that your kids are perfect and absolutely always get along.... which, of course, my kids are and do.... sometimes... when they feel like it... usually sugar is involved (in this case, fresh fudge :). I'm (sort of) kidding. It's just that when my oldest get along, they really get along. They love each other sooooooo much. When they don't get along, they really don't get along. Anyhoo, Micah took some trike rides...<br />

Hmmmm, what to say about Jane at 11 months old.... this chick is CRAZY!! She gets into everything, doesn't take no for an answer, and laughs all of the time. She is really fun to be around and really exhausting to be around all at the same time. It's so interesting to have three kids who all have completely different personalities... it makes life more interesting :)<br />

Janie is a major mover and shaker. For example, what you don't see in the two pictures above is my foot on her belly holding her down. Trust me, it's 100% necessary because the second I removed it, this happened...<br />

I really had no idea what to expect when Micah declared that he wanted to play soccer this year. My suspicion was that it might be difficult to get him to play and he might be easily discouraged. I couldn't be more happy to be wrong! <br />

In our last game of the season on Saturday, we played a really physical team with two boys who routinely pushed, pulled and knocked other kids over (on our team and their own team). Micah got shoved down and skinned up his knee a bit. He was upset for about 20 seconds but then he got this determined look on his face and he was ready to rumble...<br />

Haha, ok... so this freeze frame looks bad, but here is the deal... Micah got surrounded by two boys from the other team (who weren't even their big pushers) who were elbowing and grabbing him, and he pushed through and got back to the ball. The freeze frame sure does look interesting though :)<br />
