Fun Fun Fun at the Farm

The rain only added to our weekend fun at the farm. We are having a good ole time. There are baby chicks, sheep, goats, cows and even kitties. My kids have been in seventh heaven. The added bonus was the huge mud puddle by the chicken house. I actually dumped out about an inch of water out of Adelyn's boots.

Thanks to everyone for helping us have a wonderful weekend. I am sure I will have to hear, "When can we go back to the farm?" from now until we come back. That is okay, I kind of feel the same way, but since I am an adult I am not supposed to ask all the time. It makes Jason upset. :)

Okay, I will quit rambling on. Here are some awesome pics from the weekend.

Hello - great to hear you are coming to SD, Jill. We are planning a trip to Georgia in June. We have a wedding on Saturday the 19th. We are driving so we probably would leave on Wed?
It is busy around here. Zach is doing well in track. He threw a 117' 8" in discus (3rd place) and a 37' 6" in shot put (5th place) and ran the weight man 4 x 100 (he started the race and was in first at his handoff) and their team placed 8th. His track coach was amazed he could run that well!! Prom was on Friday night. He went with Lauren Millar (Bill and Lisa) and they had alot of fun. I'll try to download some pictures.
Rachael is busy with vocal and music contests, was doing shot and discus in track till she twisted her knee last week. We aren't sure if she will need surgery, yet. She sees the ortho dr. on Tuesday. She wants to be ready for volleyball and cheerleading.
Jacob is busy with driving the new Rhino (ATV) around the farm. He is getting ready for baseball. He will play pee-wee's (which Zach and a friend will be coaching this summer). He also had state BB gun competition for 4-H yesterday in Ft. Pierre. He did good after Dave promised Jacob he could have nachos if he shot 5 bullseye's (which he did). Oh, the power of food!! Zach shot archery, which Dave coaches. He did well for having prom till 4:30am the night before!!
Enough rambling, we will be anxious to see everyone in June. Melissa

Summer...

Hi to Bobbie and anyone else who reads this!! David has been told that there will be no vacation time approved this summer, but his boss just told him she will allow an early June vacation. We looked at flights and found a pretty good ticket for June 11-18. We haven't booked anything yet because we wanted to know if any of you will be around during that time??? Please let me know ASAP!
Hope you are all well!
Jill

Bike riding and flower planting

Hello everyone ( I say "everyone" lightly because I am beginning to wonder if any of you are still interested in the family blog! Jill gets credit though for the Easter pics!) Anyway, I hope you are all doing well and have been able to experience some wonderful spring weather. As I type, I am on the front steps, watching Kade ride his bike in a nice light spring rain. It's kind of pretty.

Yes, I said riding his bike. That is our new "news." Here is the video to prove it!

Also, I have attached a picture as Kade and I need advice from the Master Gardener. Help! Believe it or not, we thinned these pots out some. I still think we might be in trouble though. Who knew the seeds would actually sprout so well!

Peter Cottontail Stopped By...

Happy Easter to the Kriz Family Zoo-members! Emma celebrated so hard this morning that she actually took a 2 1/2 hour nap this afternoon! For those of you who don't know, that is unheard of for her! She usually naps for 20-30 min. She must have been worn out from fighting with me to wear that darn dress, hairband, and leggings! I have a feeling she will remember those leggings and her revenge will come in her adolescent years! The Easter Bunny did stop by our house and left peanut butter eggs (no willpower!!!) and lots of books for Emma (the Easter Bunny got her Master's degree in Literacy so she can't help it!)

All is going fairly well here. I had Spring Break last week and now am counting down to summer vacation! I am greedy! Emma had her 6 month check up and is in the 90th percentile for her height and weight! :) She is still taking allergy medicine every night, still has a runny nose and sneezing fits once in a while. She must be getting new teeth because she is gnawing/gumming everything in sight and reach! She is also grumpy! Hopefully they will break through SOON! We had her 6 month pics taken and she was not a happy camper! We got one smile and it was the last picture she took! They were still adorable pics and we ordered some for everyone. Sorry they didn't get done in time to send out for Easter.

Hope all is going well and everyone is having a great Spring and Easter weekend!

Lots of love,

Jill and family

Happy Easter Everyone!

Hope you are all having a nice holiday. We miss everybody!

Post some pictures of your own so we can "see" you all. ;0)

--Love ya, bobbie
