Hi all! I have a lot of pics that I haven't posted recently, so here you go. There's captions below most pics describing the pic. Remember if you can't see something in email, you can always visit our blog: http://theschoolings.blogspot.com/

We started juicing vegetables (in addition to eating them of course) and I must say, we both feel better, gave up coffee, think clearer, are losing weight, and my facial acne is gone (maybe that's too much info, but I've had it for a long time and it's always been annoying and painful). We got a used Jack Lalanne juicer off craigslist to see if we'd like all the juicing, and we like it so much we upgraded to a new Hurom juicer which is awesome. I am able to even make almond milk with it, which I did today. We upgraded the juicer because we wanted a masticating juicer instead of a centrifugal one. We highly recommend it!

Going for a walk, looking for bugs for Luke.

Jared and I went on a date night at Sierra Nevada Brewery and got some beer samplers. Our favorite was Bigfoot Barleywine-style Ale.

I had fun spray painting a mirror frame.

Carving Halloween pumpkins

For Halloween Jared was a knight, I was a fairy, Luke was a G.I. Joe called Snake Eyes or something, and Henry was a cute little elephant. Hopefully next year we'll all match and be The Flintstones family or something. We took Luke trick or treating with some friends from church. The cute little 1.5 yr old girl in the bottom left corner is dressed as Cruela DeVille from 101 Dalmations.

Playday @ the mall with Leslie and friends and lots of 1 year olds; we get together once a month for a playday.

The girl I've always wanted!

Luke the GI Joe "snake eyes" for Halloween

Leslie + Jimmy had their baby girl Violet Gloria Faggard 11/2/13. I'm an aunt of 2 now! Micah (1.5 yrs old) + Violet.

We started juicing vegetables & minimal fruits and love it! Here Luke is helping make a carrot + oranges drink.

The paparazzi. He follows us everywhere taking pictures, from the minute he wakes up in the morning, which means I get my picture taken every morning when I wake up.

Our mean green juice we love to drink everyday (kale, spinach, broccoli, celery, cucumber, apples, lemon, ginger root)
