March Birthday Madness!

It's March so it's birthday time around our house.

Today was Mr. Beans' 14th birthday.  Can you believe he's 14?

I can't!

He's grown into such a sweet and considerate young man (most of the time--there is an occasional teenage moment, but not many).


No more Legos and Transformers for this young man.


Now it's Walking Dead and full gear for paint ball.  (This is Mr. Beans on top of the pile of snow that Mary's neighbor has filled Mary's spare parking spot with.  Believe me this was no easy task.  Mary says she does it in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping.  It's easily 4 feet high.  The lady is nuts.)


Pappy was a wee bit jealous of Mr. Bean's new gear.


Mr. Beans loves the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies.  He received seven boxes of his own.  It's a good thing he's so skinny!


Dirt cake and chocolate cake for his special day.

So today was just the start of the birthday celebrations.  Tomorrow is Grandma's big day.  Happy Birthday, mom!


In a couple weeks our new baby will finally be here--another March birthday.

 
I wonder what day she will choose to arrive.  March 14th sounds like a good day.
 
Speaking of March 14th--that's my birthday!  This year I'm going to be the big 5-5.  Woohoo!  I think I may finally qualify for a senior meal at a restaurant somewhere.  Maybe I'll have to go to the Black Eyed Pea or Golden Corral, one of those type of places is bound to offer a senior discount.  (Hmmm....if that's what I have to do to get a senior discount, I'll pass.)
 
So it's a big birthday month around here. Around our house we get a "birthday week", but  in honor of my half decade birthday I declare today as the start of my birthday month--a week isn't long enough.  Perhaps 55 days of birthday would be an even better idea, what do you think Irv?
 
How do you celebrate birthdays around your house?

Skywatch Friday: A little close for comfort

Image
We had a fire out here on the eastern plains of Colorado last week.  I kept getting reports on the fire's location on my cell phone while I was at work.  Then a warning popped up that let me know it was time to hit the road and go home to prepare to evacuate the critters. When we initially got home it was still a decent distance away. Within 30 minutes it had come up over the ridge and flames were visible. The winds were gusting 45 to 50 mph.  It was a fast moving fire that burned 5,000 acres in only four hours.  Then the most amazing thing happened--the winds died down and the firefighters got in under control by 8:15 that night.  Thank you, Lord! Have you ever had to stand in your house and wonder what you should take out with you?  There were only two things I could think of...1) my critters and 2) my passport so I could still go to Europe next month.  Irv and I agreed that we need to get things organized so we can just grab a box...

Skywatch Friday: Upper and Lower Falls

Image
Yesterday I got to visit the recently completed Uncle Tom's Overlook along the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. This is the first really good look I've ever had at the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River. These falls are almost as good as the Lower Falls. After leaving the Upper Falls you go downstream for a mile or so to.... ...Artist's Point which has the very best view of the Lower Falls (in my opinion).  In this location the view is perfect, so perfect that it look like a painting. This is just one of the features of this Park that make it my heart and soul.   Linking with Skywatch Friday

Skywatch Friday: Wild Horses!

Image
 The Salt River wild horses have been eluding us since we arrived in Arizona several weeks ago so today we went in search of them again. This time we started at the Coon Bluff Recreation Area.  First we went one way down the river, but soon had to turn back because we didn't bring any rock climbing gear. Then we turned around and went the other direction. The water in the river was crystal clear, but no sign of fish or horses. There are times when I really miss my dad especially when I want to know what kind of tree I'm looking at.  This one has something that resembles Spanish moss hanging down.  What is it? This riparian area that surrounds the river has all kinds of wildlife.  Today we saw theses white egrets. This gray heron was also hanging out in the distance. We met a guy carrying all kinds of photographic equipment and he said we needed to go about a quarter of a mile further down the river to find a spot where the horses cross every afternoon around 5:0...
