Happy Birthday Jason! Hope those girls of yours treat you special!

First Sleepover

I am kind of sad and excited all at once.

Here is the excited part. Isabella is at her first sleepover tonight. She got to go to the Washington Pavilion, and she is currently eating popcorn and watching a movie at her little friend Allie's house. She was so excited she could hardly get through the day today.

Here is the sad part. Bella barely gave me a hug goodbye, and when I texted Allie's mom to see how things were going. I told her to tell Bella that I love her. Bella's response, "oh".

Heartbreaking.

Gma and Gpa Meet Emma

Grandpa and grandma left the snow behind in SD to come and meet the newest member. Emma and her parents had a great time visiting with grandma and grandpa. Hopefully they weren't too bored here in Sin City. We didn't do much besides sitting at home keeping Emma content, or at least trying to! Emma did well on her first dining out experience to PF Changs, she slept the whole time! She missed seeing grandpa trying a shot of saki (sp?) it was a sour face he made! Mommy didn't get the camera out in time to capture the moment so use your imagination! Grandma made kolaches and made some other great meals for us. They also spoiled the dogs, especially Ace! He actually joined in the picture of gma and Emma! We took them to see where Daddy works and they got to take a tour of the property. There's not much for farmers to do here so hopefully they got plenty of rest while taking of and spoiling Emma.

Thanks mom and dad for making the trip! We loved every minute of it! We hope harvest is going well and getting back to work wasn't too difficult. We miss you already and can't wait to see you again! We're still thinking about Christmas.

Lots of love to everyone,

Jill, David and Emma

OK Kriz Fam....

What's going on out there Kriz Family? Jilly Bean and VD - we could sure use more pics of baby Emma. Same goes with Kade school updates...Zach, Rachael and Jacob updates, Alex, Addy, Bella and Jeannie (I hear she has some great news - non pregnant news that is) updates, Farm updates!! Ter is still keeping an eye out on the Vegas/Allegiant flight tickets. And I hear mom and dad are out for a visit. We so can't wait to meet lil Emma!

I was going to post our first snow fall pics on Saturday - YIKES - too early - no fall colors for us this year, my favorite time of year too. What a bummer! More snow last night and this week, but it has been melting during the day. Dogs love it, my grandson's were up this past weekend and they loved it too. It's so fun to see their eyes when they see that first snow fall. We also had Rudolph and a couple of his reindeer pay us a visit in the backyard - so they thought that was pretty cool!!

Taylor is busy with volleyball - her favorite sport I think. She is such a great kid; Ter and Christine have done such a good job raising her. She is so kind, soft hearted and so good with kids - adults too. The tough years are ahead, but I think she will keep the good head on her shoulders that she does have, just like the rest of the Kriz kids!!

Just wanted to say hi, and that we miss you all tons. I do have pics on the camera, we will try to get them off and post a few on the blog!!

Kevin - thanks for the background change - always nice to see that.

Love to you all!
