Our Little Daredevil

You know I love my Iraqi fried...

You know I love my Iraqi fried
Cold near-beer on a Friday night
A pair of ACUs that fit just right
and the Duke jammin'

I was raised beneath a Ft. Gordon pine,
that's long ago
0500 PT and long days of classes you already know
a place where the LTs grow
A lot of beer and a little JNN
throw in a router, switch and MDMP all over again

You know I love my Iraqi fried
Cold near-beer on a Friday night
A pair of ACUs that fit just right
and the Duke jammin'

Well I've seen the desert sunrise
miss the look of my beautiful woman's eyes
feel the touch of my precious child
and know their mother's love

Its funny how little things like your CHU is what you love the most
No ACUs, walk around in what you want for clothes
When the First Sergeant's not around; this i've come to know
So if you agree, have a drink with me
Raise your near-beer for a toast
to a little bit of Iraqi fried

You know I love my Iraqi fried
Cold near-beer on a Friday night
A pair of ACUs that fit just right
and the Duke jammin'

I thank God for my wonderful life
and for those stars and stripes; lets see 'em fly
We all know their worth the sacrifice.
Salute the ones who cried
Mothers of the 4568 who gave their lives; standing right here by my side
Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors to my left and right
knowin' this may be their last fight
So lets have a little bit of Iraqi fried

Cold near-beer on a Friday night
A pair of ACUs that fight just right
and the Duke jammin'

Needed shoes to wear outside to shake the sand out of my shoes.

Finally sleeping. I've had a bad cold the past two days.

I miss...

Theology according to Evan

Adam and Eve--"They will eat fruit that's at their house. Not God's fruit. They can buy a banana at the store."

Feeding the 5000 (with a picture of whole fish in baskets)--"They should cut their heads off so they not choke on their eyes."

Happy Mother's Day!

We celebrated Mother's Day at our local wildlife refuge. Thanks for the suggestion, Dad!

We and Mom thought it was really neat to see a snail out of it's shell eating in the water. In fact, we thought that might be the highlight of our visit because it was so unusual. Then, when we spotted a robin sitting on her eggs in a nest right next to the trail, we thought that might be the highlight of the visit... until she flew away and up popped the heads and open mouths of four little baby robins! That might have been the highlight of the day... except that then the daddy robin perched himself on the nest and fed the birds right in front of us!! THAT was definitely the highlight of the visit. Mom even got a picture. Look closely and you'll see the open mouths and dad. Must have been giving mom a break for Mother's Day!

Taking a break. Spotting wildlife is hard work!

This is what Mom got when she said, "Smile, Evan!" Right before all silliness broke loose!
