I laughed really hard when I saw this :-D

Here are some old pics that I thought were neat!

Easter Lillys Mrs. G gave us! They are soooo pretty!

Moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The elk all wrapped up for traveling.











Well we are moving again! This should be the last time though Lord willing. :-) I'm going to copy paste an email that I sent to most of our family and friends:

Hello everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that we are in the process of moving from Harker Heights,TX to Abilene, KS. As I type this our house is wall to wall packed with boxes. Tomorrow the moving truck comes! In a short two days we will be leaving Texas. We are really sad to be leaving our friends here but very excited to be reuniting with our friends in KS! And let me not forget Niki! Some of you might accidentally get this email twice.Sorry! We are just trying to make sure that everyone knows what is going on with our family and we also want you to have our "new" phone number and address so we can keep in touch and hopefully have some visitors! If you wan to see what we are up to we now have a blog! here is the link: www.sprintzfamily.blogspot.com/ We won't have Internet for awhile when we get to KS but I hope that we can keep you updated as best as we can!When we get to the farm we are going to be doing some intensive renovating.We are planning on having our household goods in storage for 2 months and"roughing it" while we gut the bathrooms, texture and paint all the walls,replace all the flooring, and fixing various other things. We plan on building a huge metal barn to keep the hay, tractor, and animals in during those 2 months! Well we need to get back to last minute packing... I pray that the Lord will bless you all! The Printz family

Passover, fishing, Easter, bluebonnets and more!

So I've been told that I need to update! And I do! There has been so much going on as of lately! First I'll start off with Passover... Our family has participated in Passover on and off through out the years and it is a great way to remember what the Jews have gone through over the years. But most importantly is the fact that Jesus in in it all! It is amazing and I personally LOVE Passover! This year I really wanted to do Passover, after talking to Mom and Daddy they said that we could do it!!!! Yay!!! In stead of observing Passover at home like we normally would we decided to go on Post and observe Passover with the wonderful people there. It was a bit different than the Passover we normally do but it was still great! As part of Passover they hide the afikoman (the middle matza which was broken in two earlier) and after Passover the children go and look for it. It was quite a race as the kids were searching for it! Abby was looking around and she found it!!!! She brought the afikoman to the Rabbi and he gave her $10(!!!!!!) for finding it!! WOW!! She was rather stunned!
Hey I'll finish this later I need to go get some stuff done! sorry!!!

March maddness!!!!!

Hello everyone!! I don’t know about you but March is ALWAYS a busy month for us! Birthday, spring planting, birthday, spring clean up, regular insanity, new insanities, and another birthday! We started off the month with Niki’s birthday! Though we couldn’t be there for it nor could she come here we still called her and thought about her the whole day! Next here is a picture of our new found work out center!

Nice isn't it???Haha! Ok, well it is just the new Dick’s sporting goods center but the kids all had fun at the new store in the new Market Heights shopping center!
Speaking of which when Mom’s birthday came along I (Amanda) took her out for lunch and we were able to look at a lot of the new stores there one of which is:
We then went to our some- what newly found ice cream shop: Yo-Yos!!! Then Mom and I moseyed down to the Banes and Nobles book store and had a great time looking at the books. Then for dinner Daddy took the family out for dinner to Olive Garden! Unfortunately no one was ready for this picture :-D
And that rounds out Mommy’s birthday! I was so glad when the next day Mom turned to me and said that she had a wonderful birthday!
The adventures of Jo!!! We (the kids) were taken to the park during one of the house showings and we found Joey up in the birds nest!
Storms….. Ah yes the spring storms and wacky weather are here in full force!!!!!! This looked really neat in person but as always it didn’t quite turn (in the photo) out how it looked in reality.
Daddy’s birthday!!!!!! Poor Daddy had to work on his birthday…… BUT not for the whole day so in the morning we went to a local lake and hiked around where these pictures were taken:
And the best food *ever* PIZZIA!!!!!! Papa Johns of course!
Jo skipping rocks…
Aha!! And the wonderful catfish skeletal remains…. I’m so glad it was dead!!!! LONG story from when I was little…:-D ask me about it some time!
Blackberries raspberries or strawberries? IDK but I want to come back and see!!! MMmmm….
Beach hotel, a beautiful stone fire place with rustic torches and daily catch for breakfast! Or is this one of the past sites of Survivor man??? ;-)
The boat we found and spent forever trying to rescue………
Bluebonnets!!!!
Bonfire!!!!!! ^The end of Dad’s b-day!!!
Bees on our orange tree blossoms:

The bees kept trying to pry the blossoms open!!!

A neat-o green spider and bee having a stare down:


A neat armored truck:

My beautiful roses:






My buddy and security guard:

And yes: the rumor is true. WE ARE MOVING. I say this with great joy and sadness. I hate moving and leaving familiar places and friends, but we will be going back to wonderful friends and a wonderful church and most importantly: Niki!!!! But know this Texans, we will miss you all. :’-( Please be praying that our house sells quickly! Because we need to sell the house first, I have no Idea when we are leaving. It is truly in the Lords hands. I can guarantee at least until the end of May but after that?????????????? Please pray that it sells!
I recently let our church know that I would be moving and that they needed to find a replacement for my job. This Sunday they announced that they are looking for some one to take my job. I knew it would happen but it made me really sad and I *almost* started to cry.:-( I do not do that often….. I hate leaving. We have done this so many times that you’d think I’d be immune to it but I guess not! Well on that saddening note I hope you all have a great week and have a great Passover today! God bless!
