THANK YOU!

Thank you Rachael, Grandma and Grandpa for using the most beautiful day of the week last week to come and watch the girls. Jason and I really enjoyed a 2 1/2 hour drive without having screaming children to deal with.

We had fun hanging out with you on Sunday as well. The twins have taken a liking to Bella's horse, and we all slept like rocks last night. (Except Buddy!)

Thanks again! We appreciate all you do to help us out!

Jeannie and Jason

Spring Has Sprung?

Well, spring has officially arrived. Rachael had her birthday, and I ran in shorts this morning! Yea to both events!

We also spent all day Saturday outside, enjoying the beautiful weather. Hopefully everyone else got the same weather, at least before the blizzard you all are supposed to be getting today! Hopefully it isn't too bad. We are predicted to have storms here, with hail and high winds. Actually, we are in a tornado watch until 7 p.m.

Even though it is potentially snowing up north, I am still having my usual springtime homesickness. I am thinking we will venture to the farm the last weekend in April, provided that still works for Mom and Dad. I have that Friday off, so we'll either come on Thursday night or Friday morning. We need to leave early on Sunday to get back in time for soccer!

So, please shake off all the snow before then. Would love to see anyone who might be around that weekend.

Hope everyone is doing well. :)

No one else volunteered...

We signed Kade up for another season of soccer, which starts in a couple weeks. And since no other parents on his team had volunteered to coach, guess who stuck his neck out on the line? and guess who he pegged as his assistant coach?

I am now officially the head coach of the Mighty Giants. I plan on turning this rag-tag bunch of seven boys into a lean, mean soccer machine. I've assigned my assistant coach Bobbie to all the behind-the-scenes critical details that come with any successful sports program, like making all the phone calls to parents, checking on rain out dates, dealing with any whiny kids, parents, etc. I'll be too busy working on offensive and defensive strategies to worry about that stuff.

Season opener is March 28 -- we'll keep ya posted!

Free at last... Free at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

70 degrees outside -- I'll be riding my bike home with a huge grin today.

Spring is here!

Snowmobile Trip (Terry's Version)

Okay - I figured I would set my family as ease to show some of the pictures that I had on my trip to the Big Horn Mountains. Although Tammy's interpretation is not to far off, I don't think I have enough life insurance to pull off that move or guts. Although I have seen something close.

So and update on my sled. I was able to ride it out there. It ran fairly well until about 3 hours in when I got to the top of a hill to help one of our pack dig his sled out of the snow and I shut it off. Needless to say it would not start back up. So we ended up pulling it back to the lodge and then taking down the mountain the next day with two other sleds to get it fixed. Seems to be the Stator(sp) which is used to charge the battery was only partially working (apparently not enough to run my gas pump). We charged the battery and I was back up and running that afternoon. I have this part from my old engine so I will be going to the mechanic again to replace that part. Anyways I rented the last day as I did not have a charger on the mountain and wanted to ride without problems. It was a lot of fun. I have included some hills and other pictures of where we were. There are not many pictures of me as I was running the camera, but I have a few friends that have some and I will share when I get them. Anyways enjoy.

Picture of a avalanche area. You can see the side we went up and someone jumped off of the top. (This was not me however)

This is a picture of a pretty trail we were on.

This is a good view from atop a hill. Straight down on the other side as you can see from the picture.

We rode to the top of this hill as well. See the snowmobile behind the small tree on the trail. We came up the hill from the front of the picture.

Ter's Snowmobile Trip...

Ok Kriz Family, has anyone gotten an update on how Ter's trip went?? Put some pressure on that boy!

Look at this?? Now maybe you understand why I don't tag along :)

Taylor Wins

Okay, I thought I would get on this thing again and give some SW Minnesota information. Taylor played in a 5th Grade State basketball tournament last weekend while I was snowmobiling. They did pretty well and won there Division so I thought I would share a few pictures of the team.

Team Picture after the big win.

Below is a couple of Action shots.

Taylor in Action, not sure why there are bodies on the floor.

For those of you curious about my snowmobile trip and traveling route(Hint: Bobbie!). I will have an update soon.

Locks of Love

Rachael cut off 10 inches of her hair to donate to Locks of Love, today. She likes it short, but doesn't like the comments people have made, "You look like your mother!!" hee hee!!

Olympic Material

Watch out Olympics here comes Isabella Thurston.

We are proud to say Isabella has made it past Level 1 in gymnastics. I don't think she really cares about what level she is, as long as she gets to wear her cool singlet and go to McDonald's with her dad afterwards. However, she was very focused on placing the star stickers in the box next to each task she accomplished.

We are very proud, and wanted to share with everyone!
