Whazzup!!

I Caught Him!

I would love to know what goes through his mind!!

Tristan's Sweet Smiles

Tristan is a pretty smart boy. Here he is reading a history book. He's supposed to have a summary for me by 10:00. He has been smiling for about 2 weeks. I have not gotten any pictures or videos of it, because whenever I see a smile I just enjoy it rather than run for the camera. However, this weekend I was able to capture a few smiles on video. They are not the best ones, but it gives you a little sample.

Montana!

This weekend we went to Montana with Jason's family to stay with the Buckinghams in Thompson Falls. It was a great way to spend our long weekend. This is our little family when we took a hike.

Lewis and a mini Clark!

Grandma Sanderson teaches Tristan how to talk!

Don't be offended, he sticks out his tongue at everyone!! :) This video shows some of his active tongue movements.

The Hole Has Been Dug!

Jason and Shawn got the permits for the house on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday and Thursday they dug the foundation. These pictures were taken on Friday when the concrete guys were there laying form.

This is the foundation for the spec house that Sanderson Brothers Construction is building in a brand-new development called Granite Ridge. They are the first ones to break ground in the development.

Jason and Shawn hard at work on the new house.

Tristan Has Teeth!!!

I thought that babies start getting teeth at about 6-9 months or so. Tristan is only 6 weeks, and just sprouted his first two teeth! I'm not sure who he looks like now...neither Jason nor I claim him. :)

Tristan just gets cuter and cuter everyday!!

Little Tristan

Tristan always looks concerned! He is fitting very nicely in Newborn sized clothes now. Soon, he'll be moving on to the 0-3 month size! There's no stopping him now!

Tristan has been holding his head up some! Watch a video of him!

Crash!

Watch Cody and Caleb crash on the ice! Ouch!

5 Weeks!

Favre's Coming Back!

Brett Favre has announced that he will play again next season!! Yippee! It was a coincidence that today was NFL day at school in honor of the Super Bowl on Sunday. Fortunately, I didn't have to wear Colts gear...or, worse yet, Bears gear!! Here is one of my students and fellow Packer fan posing with The Man.

All of these pictures are driving me CRAZY!!!

DeAnne took a lot of beautiful pictures of Tristan. I am posting a sample of them.

4 Weeks Old!

Being held by cousin Cody

Jess, this picture is for you. Wait until you see his cute John Deere outfit that he got from his Great-Aunt Laurie. It won't fit him for a few more months, but it is too cute!

I have had a pretty good week considering I have been working. It is hard to be gone so much, but Tristan is really bonding with his Daddy.

First Day Back

We took Tristan out onto a frozen lake and played around on the ice. Jason wrote a little message.

Bright-eyed.

Our little family.

DeAnne hosted a shower for me here in Chelan on Friday. It was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who came! :)

More of those cute fish lips.

Today was my first day back at work. It went better than I expected it would. Tristan did fine, it was just me who was sad! :) Jason did a great job of making sure that Tristan was taken care of. They enjoyed some quality father-son bonding time.

3 Weeks Old!

I got a Boppy from Aunt Joyce! It is great! Tristan is also showing off his swaddling blanket. He still really likes to be all wrapped up like a burrito.

Wow! Check out these Air Jordan's!! They even fit him! :)

Videos of Tristan

Click here and here to view a couple of videos of Tristan. They are not very exciting, just him looking around and making fish lips. :)

Getting Bigger

Soon he'll be throwing that football. He takes a pacifier every once in awhile. I know that experts say that it is too early for it, but he doesn't see to have any confusion. He loves to suck, and it gives me a break when he can suck on his pacifier!

I took this picture just a minute ago as I was creating this post. He just looks so sweet lying here!

We were visiting Jason's family and Teana wanted to dress as my twin on Sunday. Here we are!

Grandpa Sanderson is helping Tristan read the sports page. Too bad it's all about the Seahawks loss on Sunday.

Tristan seemed to like the music that was playing as he looked at the animals hanging above his head. When he is awake he seems very alert. He is always looking all around and taking everything in.
