Wheatgrass?

Last Saturday at the Stake Relief Society meeting we were told a little bit about sprouting and wheatgrass. Then I got to bring a "centerpiece" home with me. On Monday morning after zumba Travis noticed two left in the foyer. We could not just leave them their to die, so we ended up with 3 little bowls of growing wheatgrass.

Today I decided to try a wheatgrass smoothie. First I gave our little plants a hair cut, right into the blender. Then I added some fresh blueberries, a banana, milk, peach yogurt. A couple of minutes in the blender and we had a smoothie. Light green with flecks of blue berries and green grass in it.

It tastes like a banana with a meadow in it. What do the critics have to say about it?
Claire: We should have left the grass out because I don't like to eat grass.
Caleb: I liked it and I drank all of it. I like grass.
Joshua: I don't like it because the grass doesn't taste good.
What do I think? I might be able to get used to it. My recipe needs a little tweaking though. Maybe some strawberries or sugar/honey for a little more sweetness next time.

Belated Mother's Day

So, over Mother's Day weekend, Joshua asked me if he could write a blog post. I thought that would be great, so I opened up a Word Document and let him type. This is what I got:

"My Mother
I love her. She is so cool. She always lets me play on the computer, even when I am bad at school. She is nice. She lets me play my Ds. I have a Spiderman game on my Ds. I have a superhero game on my Ds. I have a leapfrog game on my Ds. I have a Mario game on my Ds. I love my Ds."

He just added, "I wrote a lot mommy."

All I can say is, Thanks Bud, you're Awesome!
