Love my Vitamix!
This is my new Vitamix and I love it so much! It makes the best smoothies ever-better than jamba juice and my kids love it! I love it too since I know they are eating healthy things. Like if they don't eat fruit all day or vegies, I just whip them up one of these! I put vanilla yogurt, frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, an orange, a banana, some carrots and orange juice. It tastes fabulous! Also, I make a greens drink for myself and I can get all my vegetables for the day in one drink. Yes, sometimes it's hard to gag it down, but it's healthy. And a regular blender does not even compare. I highly recommend this product. It's a great investment!
London is very happy with her smoothie
Both J and L are happily awaiting their very first smoothie at home. Jackson, especially. Grandma has one of these and when we go visit, the first thing he wants is Grandma to make him a smoothie. Now he can have them at home.Making Bread with Vitamix
We made our first loaf of whole wheat bread in the Vitamix. It all started last Spring. My dad planted the wheat and nurtured it all summer. He then harvested it in the fall, and we drove up to Rexburg filled up a bucket and took it home. Then, this morning, Wes cleaned out the chaf with a blow dryer, and we dumped it in the vitamix.
We ground it up for 2 minutes and it was ready.
Then, we poured in the rest of the ingredients and the vitmix kneaded it. Then we plopped it into the pan and let it rise.
Voila! Fresh whole wheat homemade bread!
It looks kind of flat, but I think I just put it in a pan that was too big. It was actually very good for my first time.
Valentine's Weekend
We had a fun Valentine's weekend. On Saturday, Wes went shooting and skiing. I went to class, then played with the kids all day. On Sunday Jeffrey and Kathleen came over for dinner. It was fun to visit them. They played the Wii with Jackson. Jackson beat Kath at bowling and he also beat Jeffrey at golf, can you believe that?

Jackson taking a "RELAXING" nap
Jackson told me he wanted to relax and take a little nap. I told him he looked real comfortable.
