Welcome to the Case/Shrank Blog

We have drifted apart over the last couple of years. I know life has been so busy for all of us and I have struggled to think of a way that might improve communications. I'm hoping this is it. I've invited as many family members as I had email addresses to participate.

My thought is that as new things happen in our lives, or if we just to fill everyone in on how we're doing, you pop on over to this blog, write a quick post and then it will be up to the rest of us to check this blogspot often for family updates.

Here are some pictures to remind of us of times past.

Picture 1 is Aaron and Connor Hunt (Heather's husband and oldest son) preparing the Dutch Oven dinner in the mountains of Utah for the 2004 Case/Shrank family reunion. At this reunion, Uncle Gordon, the patriarch of our family, created the family motto. F.G.A.B - Family Good Alone Bad. Hence the name of this blog.

Uncle Gordon, with his grandson -- help me out everyone. What is this handsome young man's name?



We had another reunion in 2005, also in Utah in deference to my husband's health (thank you everyone.) And we had a lot of fun that time too!

Uncle Gordon was the head chef at the park during this reunion. Love the hat and apron! We had a blast and the food was good! Hey, when it's cooked with love then it can only be the best there is.

While most of the kids played on the swings or ran around the park, the rest of the gang waited on Uncle Gordon to finish the food. (In reality, I believe, in fact I hope, that we all helped and the patriarch of our family was not left alone to do all the cooking in that hot Utah heat.













Now, just a few pictures of the family as they have come in over the years.

This is Bryan (Uncle Mike's son) and Randi Shrank's wedding. Don't they look absolutely amazing? What an incredibly good-looking couple.

Cash and Ryan hooked up for some "cousin time" in Dallas, Texas in 2002.

Look at these two tall handsome men! We have an overabundance of good-looking people in this family, no question!.

I have hundreds of more pictures and will share them over the course of time. I hope that each of you will fully embrace this method of communication, leaving comments on other blog posts, creating posts of your own.

I miss you all very much! Please spread the word around the family. Have them post a comment with their email address in the body of the comment and I will add them so that they can post blogs as well.
