Fishy Family Home Evening

This week for family home evening we all went to the pet shop and got our own fish. Savannah has a Black Molly named Molly, Hannah has a Sunset Fire fish named Sally, Kaylie has a Neon fish named Mia, Nate has a white with lots of black spots named Flick, and Paige has a Neon fish and she has not named it. They have been taking really good care of their fish and they get fed a lot. I finally got my waterfall sound in my front room too with the sound of the filter. The kids were really excited about their fish when they were picking them out they jumped up screaming when it was their turn to catch their fish.

Our family reunion in Mount Shasta was awesome! All the Krumms got together to go camping at Lake Siskiou. We had a great time cooking meals, taking walks, fishing, swimming in the lake, riding in the boats, doing crafts, riding on a train, and lots of smores. We all got really dirty and very exhausted while we created awesome memories. Jacob fell off his bike when he saw a deer one morning and that was the biggest injury so not so bad. Other than the bees, the deer that loved to eat our food at night, and the constant dust storm the campground was beautiful and big enough for our group. We didn't loose the tent trailer like we thought we would a couple of times because of the wind but our bikes fell and were hanging by a string 20 minutes away from home. Jacob caught it just in time and we got them home. We survived the drive but we couldn't have done it without our earplugs. Everyone had a great time and we got to see relatives we had not seen in a while.
Paige was the dirtiest at the campground. We would clean her off and then she would run and fall in two seconds. She also loved eating rocks and dirt. She did pretty good on the trail to our tent trailer. She even made it on her own following us on the trail. Thanks to everyone in our group we ate awesome meals and had a great time.

Hannah and Nate are having a great time in school. Nate is in Kindergarten and Hannah is in first grade. They are so excited about learning. They are practicing their reading and doing very well. Jacob was there for their exciting first day of school.

First Day of School

Savannah and Kaylie on their first day of school. Savannah started 3rd grade today and her teacher is Mrs. Rodreguez and Kaylie started 1st grade, her teacher's name is Mrs. Lewis. They are excited and a little nervous about making new friends. Both girls knew people in their class from last year and they are anxious to make even more new friends.

Father Son Campout

Nathaniel and I went on our yearly Father-in-son camp outting right before mother's day and we had a blast. Nate was hanging out with all the older boys on the surrounding hills in the campground and yelled at me from the top of the hill. He also enjoyed jumping from rock to rock crossing a little stream that went through the campground. We roughed it in a little tent and cooked on our camping stove for dinner and breakfast. Nate and I also had a chance to ride on a quad together throughout the campground. We had smores by the fire and got to look at the stars. Alder creek campground was beautiful at night. We also were the first ones up in the camp and Nathaniel got a chance to start the morning fire. I was in charge of breakfast for the camp...we had eggs, bacon, pancakes and Tang for everyone. It was a nice gettaway for us and Nate had a great time! I will always remember the Father-in-son outtings with Dad and how much I enjoyed them...I love carring on the tradition.

Artists

The kids will paint anything when I get out the paints. They painted a vase for grandma and that wasn't enough. They ended up turning a diaper box into a cave for their animals. They all joined in and painted, they did pretty good at working together. We are still learning.

Hannah's Open House

We all got to go to Hannah's Kindergarten open house. She had so many things to show us and we got to see how tanented she is. She learned a lot this year and we are very proud of her. She really loved her teacher this year and she was sad to leave the class on the last day of school.

Savannah's Party

This year Savannah wanted to have a sports party with a horse theme of course. We had it all set up the games were ready but the day was not. The party was at a park near our house and for some reason the weather got very windy and a little cold too. We had a hard time playing ping pong, badmitten, T-ball, and lots of other games but the kids had a great time. We had a relay with about twelve different sports and they all kept going even though there were what felt like tornado winds. I wasn't too surprised this happens to us a lot but the kids loved it so it was worth it.

Blanket

Paige is my fist child to get attached to a blanket. The blanket she always wants with her expecialy at nap time is the blanket Great Grandma Krumm made for her. When you give it to her she cuddles with it and laughs with excitement. Hannah's favorite thing to do is give her the blanket to see her reaction.

Family Picture

Here is our most recent picture of the Krumm family. We had our picture done in Grandpa Bulkeley's backyard with Brett's camera. It wasn't easy but we got it done. We have it up in our front room now.
