Today we celebrated Bobby, Debbie's and RJ's birthday with the family. Little ray helped Uncle Bobby and Grandma blow out their birthday candles. RJ eating his first Birthday cake. Tomorrow morning we leave for Florida at 4am.

So I must say that we have one of the best First Sergeants that our unit has ever had (and I am not just saying that because we have been friends for years before he was the Top Dog). His lovely wife JoAnn emailed me a few days before his birthday and asked if we could do a little something for him over here. Unfortunately we couldn't do it on his actual birthday because he got delayed on a trip to Iraq, but we did it a few days after that. A bunch of us chipped in and got him his very first IPOD. Welcome to the 21st century! Opening the card from his wife.

Yesterday was Kristen's 21st Birthday. Unfortunately for her we are not allowed to have alcohol over here, but we wanted to make it as special as possible for her. So the crew got Neer Beer and Sparkling Cider. We decorated and had a cook out at the airfield and off course there was some fake drinking going on. Chug, Chug, Chug.... Someone's going to have fun tonight!

November 3rd was Amy's birthday. She is now an offical member of the dried up old lady crew. We got her cake and presents and had a good old time. One of the gifts was a bottle og Lube, actually she got two bottles from different people (you have to see the movie Superbad if you don't get it), Dillis got her a few pictures, one which included a picture of Kyle (her future husband) with a mouth full of 12 regular size marshmallows. Pretty, yummy Cake Amy Cutting the Cake

My 27th (ugh) Birthday was on September 13th, I celebrated it in Balad, Iraq it was a good day overall. My Gym Crew friends sent a card with the First Sergeant to give me on my bday since they weren't there to give it to me! So my Admin SGT's got me a cake after I got back from Iraq. Here are the pictures, a little late I know, but better late then never. I like Big Knives Making a Wish Cutting the Cake

Today was Emma's 5 Th Birthday. Since I couldn't be there, I wanted to make sure she knew I was thinking about her. I made a sign for her and took some pictures with my co-workers.
