Homemade Apple Juice

We went to Greenbluff about a month ago and I picked a bunch of apples with the intent to make applesauce for Duncan. The apples have been sitting on my kitchen table just starring at me. I finally decided to make applesauce today. I've been putting it off because I didn't want to peel them all and steam them and the purée. It just seemed like a long task. So today I realized I could make it in the vitamix. Super easy! I made applesauce first and I tasted ok but then I decided to make some apple juice. After I made the apple juice I decided that it tastes way better than the sauce so I made the sauce into more juice! And I did it all during one nap!

An Update in Pictures




So this post is worth about a million words! It's been awhile since I've blogged so this is going to be a bit of a picture dump.

First, we went over to the west coast and visited some friends Kim, Eddie, and Danica. Danica was born about 15 hours before duncan. They became close friends pretty fast. Duncan was still recovering from a little bit of a cold though so he had to wear a mask! Unfortunatly the mask didn't stop Duncan from sharing his germs and I think we got them a little sick. Sorry. 





After visiting Kim, Eddie, and Danica we headed down to Olympia to visit Amy, Sam, and Parker. The boys enjoyed some time together while watching Elmo. Then Parker tried to teach Duncan how to play ball.






Duncan still loves his bath time!



 This last weekend we were in Couer d'Alene for Kim and Ben's little boy Brayden's baby blessing. Duncan was enjoying singing but then he got tired of it and decided to take a quick nap on the hymnal. 



 After the blessing we went over for some delicious lunch and Duncan learned how to be a cowboy!

5 Months!


5 Months Old! Can you believe it? I can't. I feel like I just gave birth to this little boy yesterday. He is becoming so much fun though. He just started to roll over both directions a few days ago so he is our little rollie pollie now. He rolled across the entire living room tonight. He loves it. He is constantly laughing, screeching or eating something. He's pretty much always happy, even when he's getting tired and ready for a nap. Taking pictures of him laying still is becoming a thing of the past.
