Walking Soon?

Hey, Kid, come back with that stroller. Tristan likes taking the stroller for a walk at the park.

With boots like these we can't figure out why he's not walking already! :)

20 Weeks!!

Packer Fans

We got to watch the Packers lose Sunday night. But, not to worry, our team spirit has not diminished.

Lil' Favre with his new favorite toy....a measuring tape.

Tristan got his first balloon! It was lots of fun!

What do you get when you combine a shortbread cookie, a sippy cup of water, and a 9 month old boy?

Yikes!

Tristan has been 9 months for a week now, and I've spent that long trying to get a good 9 month picture out of him! He's crazy!! He's going constantly and everytime I get out the camera, he starts towards me and tackles me. It's nuts! I couldn't get a good smile, usually just the wide open "I'm up to something" look. If you noticed in the most recent pics of Tristan that I posted (see "Wedding" post) he was sleeping in every picture! Yes, those are the only pictures I have been getting lately. Anyway, for the sake of my mother and sister who are very demanding when it comes to Tristan pictures, enjoy!

Check out the curls

We walked to McDonald's playland while a rock chip was being repaired on our car so that my little hunter could stretch his legs.

He can climb stairs very well!

Camden Brown Shepherd

Congratulations to Jeff and Renee Shepherd on the birth of their beautiful son, Camden Brown Shepherd. He was born on Thursday, October 4, 2007 at 6:42 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 8 oz and was 20 in long. He is home now and is hanging out with his big brother Carter.

New blogs

The newlyweds have started a blog. Click on Jason and Sue in my links column to access it!! Also, Lars and Tara have updated their blog!!! I know, it's only been about 6 months!!

Jaspar Lepak

I haven't shared a lot with you about my newest sister-in-law, Jaspar. This is mostly because I don't know a lot about her myself, as I have only met her at the wedding! She is a musician. She sings as she plays the guitar. There are many venues around the Minneapolis/St. Paul area in which she performs. Also, she hosts a variety show every month. Last week she had an interview on a local radio station. If you click on this link, you will enter her myspace page and the interview will automatically start. Also, you can listen to a few of her songs. If you are interested in ordering a CD, you can access her homepage by clicking this link.

Wedding

Jason Barnes and Sue Buckingham were married this weekend in a beautiful outdoor Montana wedding.

It was cold and windy, but nothing could keep the smile off of their faces.

We got to be with lots of neat people, like Caleb...

Baby Leah....

DeAnne the emergency seamstress...

Karol, who can tack a dress with the best of them...

Auntie Jay, the mother of the bride...

Competitive brothers playing football

Not to spoil it for dunking Jason, but the hoop was only 9.5'

Johnny and Tristan share some bonding time.

Snuggles with Auntie Julie

Long lost 2nd cousins...Sandy Pfeifer and Audrey Neitzer

Sorry there weren't many pics of the wedding. I actually missed the whole thing. The wind caused the musicians to have a music crisis, so I held music for the first part of the wedding, and then the table centerpieces turned bellyup by the wind, so I set off to turn vases right side up and catch napkins and candy bowls that took flight. When I turned around after the salvage, I was just in time to see the bride and groom kiss!

New Blogs

Randy and Amy Anderson and Shawn and DeAnne Sanderson have new blogs!!! Check them out! They're great!

Eli Daniel Kitchen

Congratulations to Shane and Deanna Kitchen on the birth of their son, Eli Daniel. He was born on Friday, September 21, 2007 at 12:28 pm. He weighed 6 lbs 12 oz.

Eskimo Kisses

Tristan was very busy this past week. Along with getting 2 new teeth (as mentioned previously), he also learned some new tricks! The first thing he learned is how to give Eskimo Kisses. You can watch Tristan giving his daddy some in this first video. Tristan also learned how to roll a ball...kind of. You can watch him do this in the second video. The last thing that he learned is how to wave. I haven't got it on video yet, because he doesn't always do it at the appropriate time. Yesterday he was waving to his "friend" in the mirror! It was so cute!!

Finally!

Tristan has had one really cute tooth for almost 3 months! Saturday 2 more teeth broke the surface, so now he has 3! I'm going to miss his 1 tooth grin, but I'm sure I'll like the 3 teeth jack-o-lantern look just as well. :)

Tristan ate a muffin on our bed...what a mess!

The Siblings, minus Lisa and Eric

Whoops, I don't think I'm supposed to be up here!

Cammy Has A Blog!

Check out Cammy's new blog!!!....now I have to work on the rest of the family...

Baby Pictures

Lake Roosevelt

We traveled to Lake Roosevelt this weekend for the holiday.

All the Sandersons...except Lisa and Eric

My turn to make dinner.

A NEW ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY

Yes, it is true. Jason and I are expecting another baby. I'm actually 15 weeks along, so I apologize for not telling you all sooner! We've had so many close friends announce their pregnancies, we didn't want to step on their toes! I am due February 26. This is the same week that Kevin and Jessica Shepherd and Kevin and Julieanne Precht are due, so between the three of us, one of us should have a leap year baby!!! We are very, very excited. Well, I can't say that Tristan is excited, because he doesn't really get it yet....and he probably won't get it until he has to compete for attention. If you do the math, Tristan and his little brother or sister will be 14 months apart. I have an ultrasound tomorrow, so I will post pictures then!
