Grandpa Rupp


(Stuart's Grandma didn't want her picture taken because she said her hair wasn't done. Stuart's Grandpa said her hair looked fine and to go ahead and take a picture. And, well, Kohen was a baby....we were lucky to get him to look at the camera. I'd say this was a success!) (April 2011)


A couple weeks ago Stuart's grandfather who lived in Kamiah passed away. The pictures below are from after the funeral when Kohen got to hang out with his cousin Tane.
But I'd like to share a couple neat facts about Stuart's Grandpa. Most of the stories told at the funeral were ones I had heard before. When I lived in Kamiah, Stuart and I would go visit his grandparents and listen to Grandpa's stories. They were always interesting and he had a great memory and could recall every detail. (Now let's see how much I can remember).
Stuart's Uncle? started the Idaho candy company that is in Boise. When Stuart and I lived there we "toured" it. Candy like the Idaho Spud and other famous candy originated from there. Cool huh? http://www.idahospud.com/
When Stuart's Grandpa moved to Kamiah back in the 70's, he set up fundraisers and worked really hard to get the church building that is in Kamiah.


Kohen and Tane love getting into this basket and checking out the treasures inside.
(I think Marlie loved to as well when she was their age)


They were troopers despite the long day. :)
