A photo of Jonathan and Dad at his baptism September 6th, 2008.
The baptism went well, I had to do it twice because at the end of the first time I didn’t say “amen”.
Hmph! Amen. I mean I asked the bishop how we had to do the baptism and he gave me the verbage (which I totally instantly tried to commit to memory and due to immense mental exertion and concentration of willpower and focus... I got correct) but no one told me it was a prayer. So does everything we do in the church have to have an amen at the end of it.
Apparently, YES!
I will have to keep this in mind whenever I am near a church house.
So I had to do it again and ended it with a loud AMEN then dunked him extra far down just to make sure nothing was poking up out of the surface. It was awesome.
Afterwards we had the confirmation then went to our house and had snacks. It was kinda in between lunch and dinner so we didn’t plan anything too elaborate.

This summer, our scout group made catapults out of pvc pipe and shot water balloons at each other. The catapults were not that powerful and only shot the balloons about 4 feet. In fact, due to the fact that I bought the wrong type of balloon (the helium kind) they often would not explode, so we would pick it up and re-shoot it back at the other group. If it did break, the splash was pretty minimal. All in all it was a blast and no one really got soaked.
Magna Triathelon. We did it as a team. The only team in the triathelon. So we won first place. When I say we, I mean the Kids did it. I didn't really do anything, in fact, I just would go along side of them and encourage them to keep going. They did real good - especially since we really didn't do much to train.
Guinea Pigs at our house. Left most is Pepsi, Center is Squeekers (she really squeeks a lot) and right are all three pigs and a stuff animal pig that the two baby pigs like to snuggle against.
Blah! It doesn't take much to get way behind. So many events I should have recorded but didn't.
So let me explain. ... No there is too much. Let me sum up.
Jonathan and David go to cub scout camp. Loads of fun. Laura, Alysen and Jenny go to girl scout camp with the girl scout troop. Loads of fun. All three kids attend summer Youth Theater Camp and are in various productions put on by their classes.
Flufferia the guinea pig died of old age, we buried her. Laura's co-worker leaves to go to grad school at Harvard, and can't take his dog. Laura offers to foster the dog in our back yard. We purchase 2 new guinea pigs, named them "Squeekers" and "Pepsi". Total number of pets at the Krummenacher household - 1 labrador dog, 3 guinea pigs.
Kids go to Grandma & Grandpa Krummenachers for 3 weeks. David forms bond with "Prince" whom he calls and refers to as "the puppy" unless he is mad at the puppy. David and the puppy go on walks, runs and hikes up in the hills around Centerville. The puppy loves to hike, run, walk or just know where everyone in the house is at any given time. The puppy hates to be outside by himself.
Jonathan turns 8. Bishop of our ward wants David to baptise Jonathan, but says he won't approve it unless David commits to getting a temple recommend again. (I haven't had one for about 4 years now, but that is another issue. Nothing serious hindering me, it was a personal decision.)
Kids return to Centerville. David and kids do a triathalon together. Alysen takes the swimming leg, Jennica does the bike ride and Jonathan runs the footrace. David does all three along with his kids.
Alysen and Jennica go to a second girl scout camp, for a week, this time alone and seperate from their troop or any parent. They come back after a week and report a great time was had by all.
School starts back up, David start teaching a class at the Salt Lake Community College for some extra cash in addition to his regular job at KUED. Laura takes a new job as the Choir Instructor at Wasatch Elementary (and nominally head of music at Wasatch) and continues teaching at the 17th South Montessori school. She selectively teaches private music and singing lessons.
David getting ready to be the cub scout leader again this year for Jonathan's Wolf Den. Laura feeling overwhelmed with all the work and planning for her new position at Wasatch. David and Laura get their recommend again. I broke down and became a card carrying member. Jonathan gets baptised.
September is here and I am super busy getting things ready to go to High Definition at the station. It is fun and daunting at the same time. So I will try to post some photos soon.
