Bartering
You probably all know by now that I keep up with the rest of the world by watching 'Good Morning America'. It reminds me of being back in the states. Anyways, this morning they had a segment on 'Bartering in the 21st Century'. You can go to the website to read the story and find a link that will give you lots of links to 'barter' websites. If you have stuff you don't want anymore, and have some things you want in mind, take a look. I signed up for 'Swap Tree' that has books, video games, and dvd's for trade. You can even put your amazon wish list on there and they'll tell you if anyone posts an item on your wishlist. Just sharing some info!!

Happy Birthday
Well, we had a VERY busy weekend!! It wasn't supposed to be that way but, it ended up that way! Friday we had a cook-out and then went to the base to watch fireworks. We didn't go to the big carnival because we didn't want to fight the crowd so, we went to the 'big base' and watched the fireworks from a parking lot. It was the first time the kids saw the fireworks. (Well, Tristan slept in the car through the whole thing.) We had Rodney Jr and Tatum on top of the roof of my car and and in the middle of it, Tatum leaned over and gave Rodney Jr. a kiss and said "I love you Rodney". It was really cute but I looked at Rodney and said... "She's never allowed to go watch the fireworks with her boyfriends". As we were leaving, the kids said "Bye Fireworks" and I said, "Say Happy Birthday America". Rodney Jr. gave me a "Happy Birthday Harrymericida".
On Saturday I took Rodney out for his birthday. We went to the restaurant that he REALLY wanted to go to but, they were closed. Instead, we went to a similar restaurant and had really big burritos. They were good but, it ended up being a pretty big bill for some burritos! We came home to his surprise party but, when we got here, there was a car parked in front of our house and then Rodney noticed other cars around the house. Instead of helping me get the kids out of the car, he ran up to the house because he was so worried why everyone was at the house. So, I didn't get to see his reaction when he found everyone sitting on the back porch waiting to yell 'Surprise'. So, he had another good night and got some really good gifts.
Sunday we had people over for the UFC fight. Another day of yummy food. (Rodney made his chicken soup). I can honestly say I am happy that the weekend is over! Time to get the house back in order! :c)
As for us on a regular note, we are all doing good. Tristan is growing as fast as ever and is having a blast getting on his knees and rocking back and forth. My car is in the shop right now getting fixed (having to take a small loan out for that... we have no luck!), when I get it back, I'll be going to register Rodney Jr. into pre-school. My baby is growing up!! Tatum is just being Tatum. A handful as usual!
We're getting excited for everyone's visits!! It should make a few months fly by (which is good for me!!) ;c) I'll be posting more pics of this last weekend as soon as I get a chance.. Rodney is on my case about being on the computer! :c)
I took a lot of pics of Danica. She's such a cute kid!!
Tatum stole a HUGE piece of a rib....
She chewed on it for 20 minutes before I made her spit it out.
I know, I'm bad for taking a picture of this but.. we dont' get much excitement out here!! haha
Tristan mean muggin' in his Harley outfit.
Rodney opening on of his gifts
Just a funny face!

Size Update
No big things to post right now. After today, I'll probably have a TON of stuff to post. But, I just wanted to share a cool site with you and to tell you about the kids clothes sizes...
Ok, first, the sizes.. Rodney Jr. is 4T all the way. Of course, he does have a small waste and some shorts are too big but, thats why they invented belts. (No thanks to me. We didn't buy him one until I dressed him in some shorts and at the mall they were around his ankles. Sorry.) Tatum is in 3T tops and 2T bottoms. Some of my 24 month shorts for her STILL don't fit!! Tristan, my little rollie pollie, is in 12 months clothes now. Not that he CAN'T fit in 9 month clothes but, his arms and legs hang over about 3 inches. (Yes, his feetie pj's have holes so the big toes can come out...)
Next, the website that I found. It's a little pricey but I'm in love with my kids names and I enjoy showing them off. I'll be saving up for these necklaces but, I wanted to share the website with you parents who are also in love with your kids names!! haha.
