Marry Christmas

Even though I could not be home this year I was able to feel as close as I could. Dallas was able to set up a web cam so I could watch the boys open up there gifts. It was good to see the smiles and piles of trash that surrounded them. I am a truly lucky man. Once again thanks for all the support and I will try and put some pics of the chow halls decorations.

Santa came early

Thanks to a wonderfull lady Christmas came early for the boys and me. We recived a box that had a present and card for everyone in the platoon. This turned out to be a great time due to the fact that the power went out right before I open the boxes. So imagin 19 to 30 year olds (yah thats me) out playing with nerf balls playing games in the dark, building gliders that were amazingly hard to construct. Getting frustrated with brain teasers, and generaly haveing a great time. I would like to thank TaNeal a special lady with a big heart. Thank you

Alex

This is a recent shot of Alex waiting for speech therapy. Alex was born with a bilateral Clef Lip, he underwent surgery when he was 3 months old and will need more as he grows, but he is doing so well and is such a happy kid "most of the time" that Dallas and I could not be prouder.

Deep in the Mud

These are a few pictures of my truck during one of my recent trips to FOB Caldwell, this was taken in front of our conex that we store stuff in. That’s right this is not out in the dessert or on patrol this is in the motor pool. Not the best drainage you might say. Oh yah this is my driver Locke

So far things over hear are good, life goes on one day at a time. I will do my best to keep things updated, I gave Dallas access so she can throw some pics on as well. Everyone stay safe and talk to you soon.

Powder River Pass

After returning from Iraq, Dallas and I took a long road trip with the boys. This was one of our stops.

Red Lobster Fun

This was taken as you can see in September of 05 durring leave from Iraq, this was the first time I had seen Alex since he was born 9 months before.

I have never been a very public person, so with that this blog will give you the reader as much info as possible with out reveling too much. No mission times, locations, or names. No address or future plans will be posted by Dallas or myself, if you have to have info on something please talk to Dallas or I directly. Thank you for your understanding and God bless
