Danny boy turns 28 and Dax and Trex turn 2!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIEL!

Daniel is twenty-eight today! I found these pictures and just knew I needed to post them to let you all see what a cute little boy he was! (and still is) Nathan and Linde thought he was the best present ever when we brought him home from the hospital. He was a happy and busy little boy and always had a big smile for everyone. He loved to tag his Dad and Grampa Nicoll all over the place. So, Daniel, (or as Dad says...DANNY BOY) Happy Birthday! We loved you then and we love you even more now! Thanks for being such a wonderful son, have a great day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAX and TREX!

The twins are two today! What fun they are and such cute little boys! We love hearing about what they've been up to. I can't believe that two years have passed. I must say it does make me giggle to see Nate try to keep his eye(s) on them! Happy Birthday Dax and Trex, love you soooo much!

"BACON EXPLOSION"

For all of you pork lovers out there... That's what it's called... the "BACON EXPLOSION". Steve was watching TV one night and decided to try out a website and recipe offered. On Saturday we took a little drive to Pinetop in order to find "homemade Italian sausage". (all this in preparation for the Super Bowl, of course) This really is an amazing recipe and well worth trying. Steve is getting to be quite the gourmet chef! Now he does turkey, omlets and the bacon explosion. The bacon weave was amazing. It really looks too pretty to eat. This can be done on the grill or in the oven. To get the recipe go to http://www.bbqaddicts.com/ and scroll down just a little ways. Use whatever seasoning and sauce you like, it's guaranteed to be yummy. very, very filling.One must be a pork lover and willing to learn to weave bacon.
