Big Boy Bath
I was giving miss gracie a bath the other day and AJ comes crawling in the bathroom and starts trying to climb over the bathtub to join his sissy. I finally put him in there with her and he though he was all that. They had the best time in the bath and I don't know why I didn't think about throwing him in there with her earlier?!? He thought he was hot stuff in there and he laughed so hard at his sister. It was way cute :)
Afghan kiddos
I just received this email from LTC Clarks wife....good info
A forward from Andrea Clark--
Hello, Blackhawk family~Many of you have requested guidance on what you can send for the children and families of Afghanistan. One of our parents put the Squadron in touch with an organization that offers guidance on what to send. That organization is the Davy Weaver Memorial Project,http://www.davyweavermemorialproject.org/how_to_help.html.The Squadron Chaplain, CPT (CH) Gregg Green, is our point of contact and packages can be sent in care of him. You will see our FOB's mailing address listed as NEW on the homepage. By clicking on "How to help" on the left side of the homepage you can see a list of suggested items to send. The chaplain has personally requested crayons, culturally sensitive coloring books and individually wrapped hard candy requested for the children. In addition to sending items for the Afghan people the chaplain had some current requests from our soldiers. This list will change as needs change. When I receive an update I will pass it along. I have attached the list and pasted it below.
Please consider how you might help with these efforts. Sincerely, AndreaItems For our Soldiers - - Men’s Body Wash and Deodorant - Dental Floss - Kool-Aid singles, “Or any drink additives that makes water taste like something else.” - DVD’s -Magazines about cars, sports, muscle building, etc (Religious magazines do not get looked at, per the chaplain) - Children’s books for the “United Through Reading Program.” The Chaplain is video-taping fathers reading stories to send home for their children. He needs more children's books. Items To Pass out to Afghan Children – - Individually wrapped hard candy - Crayons - Coloring books that are culturally sensitive ( I was specifically told no Disney princess type books.) No Christian coloring books. Suggestions might be books about animals or plants.

STANK EYE
I talked to Morgan finally today! He is doing pretty good. It had been a while since I last heard from him so I was starting to get a little worried. He is fine though. Sounds tired and drained from the heat. He is on Kandahar Air Force Base right now and they were going to be there for 6 months, but things have changed and they should be moving out pretty soon. He can't tell me where and what they are doing yet so I'm not sure what is going on?!? He is hanging in there though which is good because he has a looooong time left there!
Here on the home front::::
Ashton got his first tooth!!!!!! yippppeee! I'm so excited for him because I know he has been hurting. he is so funny with his tongue right now....he keeps putting it over his tooth because I'm sure it feels really funny to him. I think he will be getting some more teeth here pretty soon. And here is the bad news.....ASHTON woke up today with pink eye!!!!! YUCK! I'm freakin a little about it. Dee and Tanner got it and silly me for thinking that I was in the clear. My little man woke up with it this morning. I called the doc already though and they prescribed him some eye drops for it. Now I'm just hoping and praying nobody else gets it.
So, now we just got to kick this pinkeye thing and then we should be good!
Miss Gracie is still loving her school and having a blast with her cousins. Britt, dee and Tanner will be moving back to Vacaville at the end of this month. I'm hoping that Gracie copes ok with it. She really loves getting to play with them all the time. Gracie is gearing up for her birthday next month:) Yes, already!! She is so crazy. Anytime we are out at the store she tellls me everything she wants for her birthday, down to the bag she wants her gift in. she is so much like her father:) ha ha
hope everyone is fabulous! ~~PEACE
