"Doro Wat"

Mmmmm! You can even see the steam coming off of it if you look closely!

A tasty Ethiopian dish that I made for dinner tonight.

This was my first time making it and I can assure you,

it won't be my last! DELICIOUS!!

Poor little thing is digging his nose in the snow. We found him in the back yard.
"White Nose Syndrome" is killing the bats in our area. :( I scooped this little guy up and put him into a bush to die. I wish there were more I could do for the bats. So sad.

(White Nose Syndrome is causing the bats to come out of hibernation early. They use up all of their stored energy from the syndrome, and then they search for food to build their energy back up. Bats eat bugs and there are no bugs at this time of year.)

Belated birthdays..Trevor and Dennis share an ice-cream cake every year.

We had to wait until tonight because of Trevor's work schedule.

We needed 20 candles for Trevor and 40 for Dennis

but this was all that Corey and Collin could find. LOL

February 25

I wish my boys would allow me to take their pic like Skittles does.

February 24

*Flashback to 1995*

Trevor showing the influence that Dennis put on him at the tender age of Five.

Hard to believe that my "little" boy is TWENTY today!

Happy Birthday Trevor!!

Dora loves to tip her dishes and play in the water.

With the new camera, Dora always looks like she's hitting the catnip too hard.
