Tristan

I just love this boy so much. This past month his personality has really come out. It's so much fun watching Devan and him play with eachother and keep eachother entertained. Devan can get pretty rough with him, but Tristan is one tough cookie and holds his own really well.

Tristan had his 9 month check up last week (we were a month late on it, oops!) He is healthy as can be. We have been so blessed to have healthy children. The doctor commented on how she never sees us. She asked if Tristan was crawling yet, and was pretty amazed to hear he has taken his first steps. She suggested a few things I could be working on him with, one was waving good-bye. I started working that day with him and he got it down really quick! It's so sad to see them get their shots, but he took it like a champ and barely wimpered.

New Blogs

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know I have 2 new blogs:

1- Opine From The Grapvine- http://opinefromthegrapvine.blogspot.com. It's main purpose is to let me vent about current events.

2- Canny Lanny- http://cannylanny.blogspot.com. This blog was created with the intent to share fun giveaways, and coupons, among other things.

I don't know how often they will be updated, or if any of you are interested in them, but I didn't want to fill up our family blog with these items. Check them out if you would like ;)

More photoshop fun

Today the boys actually napped at the same time, so I had some fun with photoshop. Here's what I did.

So, it's far from perfect, but I love messing around with it. Maybe Chad will enroll me in a class for my birthday. hint hint Chad ;)

Walking

Last week and 1 week shy of being 10 months, Tristan started taking his first steps! Chad was upstairs and started hollering at me to come see. Tristan wouldn't do it for me, so I was a little skeptical, but the next day he took three steps for me. Since then he has been doing a little more each day!

Are you ready for some football???

Chad won 2 tickets through his work to the Alamo Bowl. USAA holds drawings quite often for tickets to football, hockey, and basketball games, and concerts. He was really lucky to win these though because they were in really high demand. This game was the 10th highest rated game in ESPN history! Missouri beat Northwestern 30-23 in overtime. The score was really close the whole game and was alot of fun to watch. There's only been one other college Bowl game that has ever gone into overtime so needless to say, we had a pretty exciting game. Oh and to make things even better we had awesome seats.



The Alamo Dome

Woohoo Northwestern!


I guess their prayer worked cuz they won!
