How does everyone like Trev's new hairdo?
We love it!
A mix between a vampire and a wolverine. Completely irresistible, right?
This is what happens when we have a couple hours to burn on Sunday. I couldn't take Trevor serious the whole night.
On another note, here are pictures of Trevor's humanitarian trip to Mexico.

The next day the group made their way to a little village about an hour out of Guadalajara. This is what the typical house looked like. Bricks carelessly thrown on top of each other and held in place with slopped on cement.
The task for the week was to complete a series of water storage towers for the village. The village had been hauling water in on their donkeys. The villagers were told to prepare the base of the storage before Trev and the rest of the volunteers could help.
Weaving this type of barbwire fence was the next step. The volunteers taught the villagers every step of the process so that the towers could continue to be built when the volunteers had left.
The chicken-wire was then placed around the base of the storage and filled with cement. Although the water in the storage tower will still need to be boiled before use, this system will be such an upgrade from the daily trip to the lake for water.
The village was located in the mountains not your tropical Mexico vacation spot. Trevor said the weather was a perfect 72-80 degrees. This land is owned by the man who organized for Trev's volunteer group to come and help his village. Trev says that he was the "it" in the village. Although poor compared to our standards, he was the richest man in town. He was the only man in the village to own his own toilet!
Trevor had a great time and said it was an opportunity everyone should experience. We are both hoping to go on a humanitarian trip to Costa Rica this March.
