Our 4 mile walk up Hobble creek

We went for a walk on the bike trail up Hobble Creek canyon today with my friend Verlynne and her dog Molly, we stopped to let Abby and Molly get a drink in the creek (I had to throw Abby in cuz she is chicken & she still didn't get a drink, I had to pour it down her throat!). This Casey getting ready throw a rock in to see if Abby would chase it (she didn't).

The wind up.....

Mid launch... she kinda throws like a girl... hehe

You can't really see it but this is a pic of Casey with a wet bum cuz she decided to sit in the water to get more rocks. Gotta love kids!

Playing Ball together

Casey insisted that Cameron sit next to her for a picture.

CHEESE!

Baby on a mission!

Thank You

I just wanted to post a little "Thank You" to everyone that supported me and my family during this difficult time. Grandma Doris was very special to me and to my family, especially to my grandpa, Werner Loeffler. She was such a loving and caring person, I would be very proud if I could be even a fraction of the wonderful and strong woman she was!

Grandma Doris

Something very sad...
I guess this is blogable. I found out this morning that my grandma Doris passed away yesterday. This is a picture of grandma Doris with Grandpa at Christmas at my moms house.
Grandpa passed away in 2004.
Grandma Doris and my Grandpa were never technically married... grandpa was too stubborn to marry again. He was married once and not again. Doris was always there for him and for all of us. Doris took care of grandpa for many years, just living a few blocks from grandpa. When her health got too bad that she couldn't live in her house any more she had to move to an assisted living in American Fork where grandpa would visit her and bring doughnuts for the staff and whatever Doris needed or wanted grandpa was there for her.
Doris was a humanitarian, she had several foster children in her home. Her home was beautiful, she had the prettiest flower garden I have ever seen. I remember her house having a lot of vibrant colors in it all the time from top to bottom. I remember as a kid I loved going to American Fork to visit grandma and grandpa. Doris would let me spend the night at her house, which was always a treat. I also remember her Siamese cats that she loved.
She always accepted us as her own family. She was there for us when grandpa was sick and even though it was very difficult for her she was there for us when grandpa passed.

Family in the park April 2008

Have you ever tried to get a 18 month old to hold still for a picture in the park???
This is the most recent pic I could find of all of us.

I just like this one of the kids swinging together.
I am glad they still like each other!
(For Now)

Family wedding picture

This picture was actually taken when we got home from our HONEYMOON.. oh la la.. note the cheesy smiles... LOL. We got all dressed up again and went up the canyon for some more pictures.

Flashback to October 1, 2005

This is a picture of most of the family that made it to our October 1, 2005 wedding. What a great looking family!

Okay I guess it's time

Dear family and friends,

You win... I will start this. I can't make any promises that it will be as cool or funny as many of yours. I am going to round up some stuff to put on that will be more interesting than this. Love all of you!
