Blog Stalker

My friend Mary put a picture of chocolate chip cookies on her blog this morning and wrote that this is what she wishes she could eat today. A few hours later she recieved a plate of chocolate chips cookies on her doorstep with no note. I've decided to try the concept. I really wish I had this today.....

Shrimp Boil

We went to the McGraths on Friday night for a shrimp boil with a few friends in the ward. If you've never done this, it's definately something to try! They had just 5 couples total so it was a nice small group, more would've been a little crazy I think. Once the food is cooked and the guests are there, you just throw all the food on the center of the table and everyone just eats off the table. It was a really fun group of friends and Mary did a great job making it look really cute. Stephanie made her Key Lime cheesecake for dessert and I've been dreaming about it ever since. Thanks to the McGraths for a great evening!

Uncle Adam Is Home!

Brent's brother, Adam came home from his mission to Chicago last Friday. The kids were counting down the days for at least a month and were so excited to have him back home. He gave a great talk on Sunday for his homecoming. We had a Krummenacher filled weekend and the kids were very sad to see the cousins go home. We all love spending time with the Krummenachers.

Jake's Baptism

Jake was baptized on March 29th. We had a nice get together afterward at Steve and Glenna's home. Kelly and Jackson came from Utah to support him and Jake was so happy to have Jackson here! Jake's friend Maddie was baptized that day too so we invited the McGrath's to have a joint party after the baptism. They both got to have their own number eight sub to share with everyone. This has been a family tradition of the Krummenachers that the kids really look forward to.

Basketball Season Has Come and Gone

The boys loved basketball season and both improved a little more this year. Now on to Baseball. We've been enjoying the baseball games almost every night of the week. Nate even got a grand slam a few weeks ago! I went to get treat tickets at the snack bar for the team and when I came back everyone told me about it. I then turned to take Jake to the bathroom while Nate's team was in the outfield and turned around for a second just in time to see Nate catch a fly ball and get the hitter out. I missed his game last week because I wasn't feeling well and heard he got two outs in one inning. I have decided I shouldn't go to Nate's games because I'm bad luck for him. Jake is still trying to like baseball. A few weeks ago he told me he loves being in the outfield best because he doesn't have to do anything. Last week he told me he now loves hitting best so I guess that is an improvement right? I'll try to get some baseball pictures this week.

I'm Back

Has it really been 2 months since I last posted?! Things have obviously been very busy but I have some down time today so here I go! First of all, let's talk about the reason I haven't been updating....Our new Krazy Sub! I've been working a lot more and when I am home, I feel like I'm catching up on everything else and I'm never ever caught up.

We implemented a new system called "Family Dollars" at our house. The kids get a family dollar when they get chores, homework, piano, etc done. Every four family dollars equals one real dollar. I can also take the family dollars away when I see they don't clean up after themselves, aren't nice to each other, etc. The system is helping me because I needed my children to step it up a little more around the house. (Thank you Joni, for the great idea!) Rebecca even made dinner the other night for four family dollars!(well worth every cent!)

Here are some pictures of the new shop and our first customer. This customer has been a regular since he was in high school at our other shop so it was fun that he was our first.
