A FABULOUS weekend...

Okay, so first a big THANK YOU to Dennis for breaking us back in and giving me the motivation to blog about a simply GREAT weekend...

First and foremost, THE BYU FOOTBALL GAME!!! All of the blonde (or really not-so-blonde) Krumpermans attended the game in Seattle and just had a blast! It was great to see Bryan (even though he wore purple and cheered the opposition) and being with Dennis helped me to relive my BYU days...and yes, Marci, I am jealous. Also at the game and worth mentioning, the DreamWeavers, the Hones, the Baxters, the Powells, the brother-of-our-Williams-also-known-as-Williams, and the couple I scalped tickets to because the Coopers couldn't make it. What a crowd and what a game!! (For those who care, there really was no controversy about that final call at the game...it was just those sportscasters that turned it into drama.) WE WON!!
The game was followed by dinner with Adam and Lise (and we thank you heartily for a fabulous stay....even without a door!!) and Bryan came, too!! He came back to the Powell's and met our 3rd child, Otter! It was such fun to watch Bryan and Otter play...he says to tell you he loves you and misses you, Uncle Bryan!
Otter wasn't the only one that loved Uncle Bryan! All the Krumperkids along with their Frerichs cousins attacked Uncle Bryan....and I'm sure it was unprovoked. Right.
We skipped out on Sunday School to go down and visit Grandma K in Auburn and had a wonderful visit! The kids enjoyed the entertainment (some Irish dancers came and did their version of Riverdance) and we talked Grandma silly!
Then we topped the weekend off with a FABULOUS dinner at Paul and Jeanne's joined by Aunt Marci and AGAIN, Uncle Bryan! Miracles never cease!!!

A small note--I am sending out a special THANK YOU to Paul and Jeanne who not only hosted us several times over the weekend, but took us in when the kids and I were stranded in Seattle the week before. They provided EXCELLENT food and WONDERFUL conversation. Needless to say, I send them HUGE hugs and even feel a little embarrassed about the number of times I told Paul "I hate you! I wish you were dead!" as a child. I love you guys!!

So I (Dennis) am trying this blog thing to help us get back on the map... besides you really need to see what we've done this summer!

April 22, 2008 Jackson gets ready for some loot from the tooth fairy... with his first lost tooth. The gold dollar has been a prized possession... he has gotten 2 of them so far.

"Dad, I want to catch a fish and eat it" I have heard Jackson say that for at least 2 years now. He now has caught 3 and we ate them... not our favorite meal but we did it!

When Grandpa and Grandma Frerichs came to visit we went to a real gold mine near Kellog Idaho... afterwards we panned for gold and other crystals outside the mine.

We also went fishing with Grandpa Frerichs and guess who was the first to catch a fish? What a woman... although there was a little anxiety involved, she even grabbed it off the hook and stuck it in the bucket!
