So today Julie and I had a rare occasion alone, without children (besides the one in her tummy) to go out by ourselves for a little breakfast Julie style! Thats right...Starbucks! Of course I threw in a twist and decided to walk over to the
"Juice It Up" right across the way for a wonderful Rasberry Craze smoothie and some awesome bagels!
We had such a wonderful time together and learned alot about the long past times of drinking Wheat grass! The owner, Mr. Anoop Gandecha was incredibly warm and welcoming and shared many stories of his dedicated customers that show up daily for their "Wheat Grass Shots". These customers aparently swear by wheatgrass and its amazing power to get you through the year sickness free! Julie and I had never tried this before and as you'll see in the video Julie found it to be "Not that bad" and me.....well....just plain ol' nasty. You'll see me shoot down some apple Juice right after just to get rid of the taste in my mouth.
If you know me...I am incredibly picky about food and will admit...quite the baby! I gag easy, have issues with textures and certain smells and well.....this stuff had it all for me! I suppose I could understand the health benefits the store owner was selling me on (way to go Anoop!!) but I just couldn't see the benifits with the pain involved in swallowing! :)
So...I have to ask. Have any of you tried the phenomenon of drinking Wheatgrass? We would love to hear your about your experiences. Perhaps there is something more to learn about it.

Regardless Anoop was so nice and we very much enjoyed our morning with he and his assitant (Sorry we forgot her name....but you know who you are!). If you get a chance visit them in the new Gateway shopping center on the Northeast corner of Mountain Ave and Sixth Street in Ontario.
Here is the address! They are really a treat to visit with and the smoothies ROCK!!!
Damion.
Today we celebrate a day that I am most grateful for than any other. The birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. If it were not for He, my wife and I and our family, would truly not be the same! He is the reason for this season and I just had to take a moment to give honor to the one who is responsible for the many blessings in our lives and of course, share some photos of our daughter :)
