Ode to Kimber!!!!

Hi my name is Casey and I approve this message P.S. that is from a song and I thought I was funny! Anyways so this is Ode to Kimber about the rememberrings of yesteryear!

Remember being here where we spent a Holiday in the sun and enjoyed family and fun with games and great food, oh ya remember the sickness we felt ye not that fun to remember

Remember when we bought you this Hat! Yes you could not resist getting just one you needed 2. It looks cute with this outfit sure does! Ode to Kimber!

Remember when you looked at the camera with this face? I can't remember why you were giving a pouty face, but hey this is the Ode to Kimber so it doesn't matter all that matters is we change it to a smile!

Remember when we wrote our names on the crazy wall of the little deli we ate at downtown Indianapolis. These names will probably sell for millions of dollars one day maybe not to the public, but to our sweet future kids!

Who doesn't remember the Jimmer! Remember how fun this year of basketball was even though we didn't go to many games at home we watched him on TV. Remember when we made it to the sweet 16!

Remember this family! Oh how we loved spending time with them in our summer of being away. Didn't they bring just a fun time to our summer!

Remember when we were away for a few weeks and I was trying to learn how to be a dentist and got to see so much crazy things in MEXICO Oh ya I don't speak spanish!

Remember how you love to sleep it doesn't matter where or when, if you can get a spare moment you would love to fall asleep.

Remember when Jaden would eat anything you fed him, what a fun time and oh how I miss this little boy! This past summer came and went and now its us again! Oh remember

Remember when we got married and committed to spend eternity with each other no matter what circumstances arose, thick and thin we are for each other What a great moment in life, an exciting adventure starting a new, wouldn't it be nice to relive that exciting time again!

Oh the Ode to Kimber Remember Remember the times we've spent and for the future adventures we will experience! We have so much in life to experience so lets live it happy as can be no matter the cost that love may be!!!

my major rocks.

the landscape management major rocks.

proof:

last week for our plants diagnostics class (aka memorize weeds, insects, diseases...oh wait i'm so ahead of that game!) we drove an hour away to the church farms in delta, ut to do some disease research on their corn crops. our caravan consisted of four 12 passenger vans. i was the front van with our professor. after we began the 10 minute off-roading excursion to the crop, one of the vans got stuck in a big old patch of mud. so everyone, including our professor, got out and started pushing that thing out, ha. took us like 15 minutes to get it out, but it sure brought some laughter. but really, all our professors are so awesome, down to earth, great people, who really have a passion for what they're teaching and love the students. i know this may seem odd, but i truly have a testimony of byu. no where else, can you begin class with a prayer, have your professor relate academic studies to gospel principles during a lecture, or have your professor openly talk about his mission to the whole class. i love byu.

secondly, i'm in the landscape management presidency and it rocks.
the people rock.
we have a blast together.
one of our presidency members is missing here, but oh well :)
if you're in slight contemplation of choosing a major, look at ours, it's the best.
plus, our professors are superb at networking for us and everyone graduates with a job who wants one.
the people are all just so great in the industry.

 
the above picture is us all laughing.
why are we laughing?
charley (bald guy) and i were arguing in the picture before this and then we all laughed how the picture before this one would actually look like we're arguing, oh goodness... 

lastly, the LM students have the wonderful priviledge to clean one section of the football stadium after football games.
as horrible as it sounds, it actually is fun with everyone.
everyone works so hard and we laugh and have a ball together.
plus, there's always great food afterward.
it's just dandy.

but next time you go to a byu football game, pick up yo trash people!

peace out.

more to come on that later.

fifthly,

it rocked.

sixthly, 
it's saturday,
yay! 

brushing your teeth and vegetables.

last night, as lay in bed, i admitted to casey that i had't brushed my teeth.

you know what he did?

got my tooth brush, put toothpaste on it, brought it to me while i lazily remained in bed, forced it in my mouth, and turned the power on so it started splattering all over my face.

that there ladies and gentlemen, is a man who deeply cares about oral health.

casey 1. kimber 0.

tonight, i force fed casey sweet potatoes and broccoli (that were quite yummy, might i add) while we sat and watched our favorite show.

i literally had a fork up to his mouth with a sweet potato on it,

and each time he would give his best 4 year old idontwantoeatthisfood face.

he would also say in his best pouty voice "no, i don't like vegetables..."

but alas, the sweet potatoes and broccoli were gone.

casey 1. kimber 1.

i think we're just gonna make great parents someday.

texas caviar

i would love to share our family favorite recipe of texas caviar with you!
(i'm also inclined to do this bc often when i'm away from home and i want to make this, i don't have the recipe, but now it'll be on the blog where i can always get to it!)

i got this from my mom,
who got it from our neighbor,
who probably got it from someone above her too!
it's a woodruff family favorite.
it's eaten/made at nearly all of our family functions:
christmas, reunions, the dunes, weddings, etc.
you name it, it's most likely been there.
if the family is together, someone wants it to be made.

it's a bean/salsa/mix of veggie dip thing that's super yummy!

Chop the following and mix together:

    2 cloves garlic

    2 cups tomatoes (about 5)

    1 green pepper

    5-6 green onions (1 bundle)

    2 jalapenos

Add:

    1 can white shoepeg corn (drained)

    1 can mexicorn (drained)

    2 cans blackeyed peas with jalapenos(rinsed and drained)
    these cans are hard to find, if you can't find them, get 1 can black eyes peas and another bean can, black or kidney

Add:

    8 oz. zesty Italian salad dressing

    Cilantro to taste.

    1 packet of powdered Italian dressing

Serve with chips, quesadillas, or on top of rice.

I think it tastes better the 2^nd day, and it will juice up a bit itself when sitting after awhile, so don't add too much of the Italian dressing, I usually use half the bottle and add however much powdered Italian dressing i think it needs

happy monday
