Worst Parents EVER

Well, these pictures are a a few weeks old but, I figured some people would be anxious for a post so, I decided to put them on here.
Against our better judgement, we let the kids ride their big Tonka Truck down our hill in the backyard for amusement. Rodney and I were relaxing on the porch reading books and Tristan was taking a nap so, the kids were starting to get restless. This would not have been the worst idea in the world if the kids didn't meet our house at the bottom of the hill. But, no accidents, no one got hurt, just some good old fashioned 'kids being kids'.

Some Things Don't Change

Rodney Jr. is playing soccer again and his first game was today. I have to stick up for him a little bit and let you all know that he has only had one practice before this game, and he hasn't played in a year, BUT he's still taking after me in the sports department. Totally shy and TOTALLY in lala land!! haha. We had to buy him new shoes today, (thanks Grandma Karen), and his foot grew 3 sizes since last year! Guess he's going to take after his daddy in the feet department!!
His coach wants to have practice 3 days a week so, I'm hoping that he'll improve greatly by next season!!

Here he is complaining on how hot he is. (He didn't even play yet!)

Tatum looked like she was choking him!

Such a ladies man!!

Go Here to see more pics of the game.

Franco Harris

Today Rodney and I went to the Commissary to meet Steeler's Running Back, Franco Harris. We took every card and every picture we had of him hoping that he would sign them all but, they put a two per person limit on autographs. So, we chose to have each of the Super Bowl team pictures, that my dad gave us in plaques, signed. He was surprised to see them since everyone else was having him sign jersey's and footballs. At the last minute, Rodney convinced him to sign a photograph for Jonathan since he couldn't be there. (No military i.d.). We quizzed Harris on a certain photograph where they had a patch on the shoulder of the jersey's. He couldn't remember exactly but assumed that it was the 50th anniversary patch of the Steelers. We're glad we went!!

Rodney, Franco Harris and me.

Thanks!

Special thanks to everyone from Wish Upon A Hero who sent my mom cards!! This is a great site for anyone who doesn't know about it! I highly suggest you taking a look. The button is on my sidebar.
Here are some pictures of Rodney and Tatum writing to a little girl from Wish Upon A Hero who wanted a pen-pal.

Celebrating the Steelers!

We are SUPER excited that our Steelers WON THE SUPERBOWL!! WooHOO!! We 'watched' it with our North Carolina family. (Grandma and Grandpap Hanson. Mom and Dad Hanson, and Connie went there to watch the game too). We kept our web cam on as they did the same. We had to mute them though because we had about a 10 second delay over here and we could hear them screaming before the play even started! It was still a lot of fun! Rodney fried a turkey (yum, yum) and I made some breakfast 'muffins' since our game started at 9am here! (and yes, the guys DID start drinking that early). They were pretty useless the rest of the day! haha. Can't alter the party because of the time right??

Jonathan and Rodney

Obviously, we just won the game!!

Tristan celebrating too!

Tough guys, huh?

This is a picture of Tatum's butt. Shortly after she came out of the bathroom, Jonathan asked us if she was wearing a diaper... nope, she just left toilet paper in her butt!! Never a dull moment with that girl!

A Trip to Underwater World

Today we took a trip out to Underwater World again. I figured that we should go as many times as we can before our year passes expire. The kids had a blast as usual. And we got to take Jack and Jonathan for the first time. Afterwards we got some Italian gellato's and can you say YUM!!?? Rodney knows me well and got me tiramisu! YUM YUM YUM!!! :c)

Rodney Jr. took this photo of Rodney and I.

Tristan's hair is getting a little too long for the Mohawk!

They have two turtles now instead of one.

The kids. Rodney, Wolf, Jonathan, and Jack.

She always has a way of messing up her hair!

It took me ten tries to get them both to look at the camera at the same time.
