The gift of Good Health

My parents gave each of their children a VitaMix blender for Christmas. I have to say, I love it! I made a green smoothie for dessert and it was incredible. If it wasn't dark green we wouldn't even know there was spinach in it. Gib was skeptical before he tasted it and asked, "What did you do, put a tree in it?" But even he loves it and highly recommends it! Here's the recipe for anyone interested. Healthy and Oh So Tasty!

8 oz frozen spinach
1 orange
1 jonagold apple
1 cup green grapes
1/2 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup cranapple juice
1 cup ice cubes

Merry Christmas





We had a wonderful Christmas. These pictures are from Grandma Sommers party. Emmy looks excited about getting her present. I love this next picture I got of Logan and Ashley because of the way Logan has his eye on Santa. He wasn't too sure about him this year.Dani, our professional family photographer, had a photo shoot with Emmy and Logan on Christmas eve. She got some great pics. Here are my favorites of Emmy. Isn't she cute!
We tried to get a cute picture of her in a wreath the way they did with McKinley, but Emmy wouldn't have any of it.
Notice her crazy hair! She got that from her Namie Gilbert!


Here are a few more pictures from Christmas day.

About Me

We are both thrilled to be parents. Our miracle baby was born on August 20, 2008. We are happy to have her in our family and cherish our time with her. I am a chemist at a rocket manufacturer who supplies propulsion for the NASA space shuttle. I got my bachelor's degree from the University of Utah in 2004. I love my job! Gib works at a microbiology testing lab. He is currently attending classes at the University of Utah to get a bachelors degree in biological engineering. We have been married since July 2002. We met at a U of U singles ward. Laura (my cousin) and I had just moved into an apartment together when Gib was assigned to be our home teacher. Needless to say, Gib was a dedicated home teacher. And I didn't mind at all!
