Juicing



Last year we got a juicer after watching Fat, Sick and nearly Dead. After watching the movie we were sure that we needed a juicer right away, even Dusty was on board, which surprised me since usually he has to research purchasing something for days. Anyhow, we bought one that night. Yes, that night on amazon. A little impulsive but what can I say Netflix and their collection of random documentaries had us under their spell. 

We've actually been pretty good at juicing off and on. We were both worried that we would get it, use it and then forget about it, or not like juicing... neither of us had ever juiced before and unfortunately the movie didn't come with samples so we had no idea if we would actually like the stuff. 

Last week we found some really great recipes that tasted awesome! The one in the picture above is apples, kale, spinach, cucumber, lemon and parsley. We've learned we do a lot better with a recipe! Also, Kassie gave us those neat cups for Christmas last year and we are both convinced that it makes everything taste better.

Dresser Makeover


Lately we have been working on some projects for the nursery. This dresser was given to us by Dusty's family, he used it when he was a kid and it has been in his family for awhile. It was sort of in rough shape but we wanted to keep it to use in the baby's room so we decided to give it a face lift. You can see the leg on the right was about to break off so Dusty sawed off the legs, which was sort of sad to watch because they had such a nice shape to them, and put on some simple new legs. Then Dusty painted the dresser white, he actually spray painted it so there wouldn't be any paint brush lines and it turned out really well and took way less time then real painting. We really like how the dresser pulls contrast with the white and stand out more. Usually I would be all over spray painting! But Dusty confined me to the house and took charge because of all the fumes. Good Job Dusty!

USU Grad!


Last May Kasey Graduated from Utah State so we went back to our old stomping grounds to celebrate her huge accomplishment! Way to go Kasey! You know how graduations go. We sat waiting for a long time in the auditorium, super excited to see Kasey in her cap and gown, with nothing to entertain us except each other and our phones.  Here are some "waiting pics".

The Graduate! 

Graduating with your undergrad and Masters degree all in one day! Way to go!




We ate so much yummy food while in Logan. Here are the boys after Kasey's Graduation Feast at Callaway's.

The Blue Bird! And Kasey's "friend" that came to the graduation, they are married now :)

We had such a fun afternoon with our cousins! Starting with a great lunch at the Bluebird and ending with an awesome time at the park playing volleyball, sadly I don't have any pics of beach volleyball. It was so great to see all of you!

Sisters

Pretty Kasey.

Having fun being back in Logan!

A Deer and her Dear

Yes, Halloween was a million years ago, but we had a blast!  We were going to come up with a cute    couples costume but we could never decide on anything so we just went to the ward party as individuals   I've decided that costumes from the head up are my kind of deal and also that pinterest is awesome. Just some antlers and makeup and BAM! you've got a costume. We had fun making Dusty's waldo costume. He even came to the Goodwill with me to help find a red and white shirt and a white hat (that we washed!) then we just cut up the red shirt into strips and sewed it all together. Fun, Fun! This Halloween we will have to think of three costumes, yikes!
