I just thought that all of you, who have followed this drama for almost four years now, would enjoy seeing this happy outcome. Though of course, knowing the Palins, it could be very short lived.
I do believe that this is the FIRST time that Tripp has laid eyes on his little sister.
He certainly seems to be please with his role as a big brother.
Very, very sweet.
ReplyDeleteAnd, shame on Bristol if this really is the first time Tripp has met his sister.
Levi posted it on his fb page too.
ReplyDeletethey really resemble each other a lot. There are more pictures where you can see the new baby has the same profile as Tripp did at that age.
ReplyDeletecompare to green shirt, blonde Levi holding Tripp.
Tripp looks like he is wearing those false teeth the little beauty queens wear to cover their lost baby teeth. They look too perfect to be his baby teeth. He is older than Bristles is saying, and he has already lost his front teeth, I'd bet on it.
DeleteThe way they kind of overlap the teeth next to them do make them look like permanent teeth (I have two lower elementary school kids, so I look at baby and permanent front teeth all the time).
DeleteWhat a sweet surprise (my computer took a while to load the image). My best to Levi and his family. I'm hoping everyone can move forward and those smiles are a real good sign.
ReplyDelete@Anon 12:50PM,
DeleteI totally agree with you. I'm so happy to see this pic. Hopefully Bristol is growing up a bit now and I sure hope this continues on a regular basis.
You're not holding your breath, right?
DeleteNope- never hold my breath on this stuff but do think we often get what we expect. If everyone only expects the Palin's to be jerks, the outside chance that they do the right thing is completely overlooked. I say keep the door open for a good outcome and hold them accountable if they fuck it up. These kids are too important for games and grudges.
DeletePrecious. Tripp looks like a good big brother and so mature. A very dear picture. It makes me even feel good about Bristol.
ReplyDeleteSo mature indeed... no way that little boy is 3 going on 4 years old... looks more like 4 going on 5 years old.
Delete- KAO
Why???
DeleteWhy? NOT looking 3 going on 4 years old... looks more like 4 going on 5 years old.
DeleteI think the "why" referred to why the OP feels good about Bristol.
DeleteAre those false teeth Tripp is wearing, to cover his lost teeth?
DeleteHe look like his mother did before the surgery. High cheek bones and double chin. He is handsome.
ReplyDeleteThat is one chunky monkey of a little girl baby.
ReplyDeleteNo, that is a healthy breast fed baby.
DeleteThank you Anon 1:20! What the hell Anon 12:54? Don't you think it's a little early to be weight critical?
Deletethe chipmunk cheeks are normal for breastfed babies
DeleteMeh, I took 12:54's comment to be about how cute she is (If that wasn't the spirit of the comment then, WTF).
DeleteI had two adorable chunky monkey breast fed babies with huge cheeks.
Tripp is older than they are saying..Palin lies lies lies
ReplyDeleteDarling photo!!! Everyone looks so happy and relaxed! Hope they have a wonderful, fun time together.
ReplyDeletePrecious! Happy faces and caring hands speak volumes.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very sweet photo. Quite a contrast to bitchy Bristol, complaining that Tripp would run into all of his half-siblings when he went to school. Bristol made "half-sibling" sound like a dirty word where Tripp looks pretty happy to meet her.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see. Relaxed and happy family.
ReplyDeleteEspecially notice the difference in young Tripp's face; so often his expression and smiles are tense and forced.
.. tense and forced ..
DeleteThat's the vibe I usually pick up from his smiley fotos, as if he is a trained animal. This is the opposite. You can feel authenticity.
Tripp looks sweet in that picture. It is about time he got to meet his probable half sib (meaning if Tripp is really Levis).
ReplyDeletePoor Tripp, receded chin really in evidence, he has a double chin already. When does he get HIS jaw realignment surgery Bristle? He surely needs it.
That's mean. He's four years old. Gonna pick on a four-year-old? Really?
DeleteDon't pick on five year olds either.
DeleteHe will be 6 in December, if that is the Month that he was born.
DeleteHe looks happy to be holding his sister. Wish them good luck and hope Bristol does the right thing by her son but I kind of doubt it.
ReplyDeleteNice. I hope that Tripp and Breeze become very close. Little sister hanging around older brother and all that fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteMaybe now that the Palin saga is over and Bristol finally settles down, minus fame-seeking, she'll learn to enjoy a quiet life. Am I too naive to believe?
I don't think you're being naive, I think you are being hopeful that a Palin can change. I would like to see the whole family realize what a mess they have made of all the opportunities they were given and make amends. One can dream.
DeleteUnfortunately I don't think Sarah can change. She is much too vindictive. If Bristol would get an education and move away she would be better off.
DeleteThanks, Gryph. What a sweet photo. Love the plump little healthy baby. Tripp looks happy and relaxed and a bit proud of being the big brother. Great to see all around. Levi looks happy, too. Best wishes and good thoughts to the Johnston family.
ReplyDeleteI guess Krusty the Klown will be here soon... too bad.
Tripp looks so happy there, what a nice pic. Breeze is adorable and a little chubster! I love babies with chubby cheeks, just like my grand daughter.
ReplyDeleteNice to see Levi and Bristol work it out for Tripp.
ReplyDeleteHope this continues and peace prevails in their life.
Best wishes to both.
Give me a genetics lesson here...where did those blue eyes come from? Both Levi and Bristol have brown eyes.
ReplyDeleteDarling picture and I'm glad Tripp got to meet his new baby sister. :-)
Blue is recessive. If there is a blue-eyed parent from each partner then a couple with brown eyes has a chance of producing a blue-eyed child. Sherri Johnston has blue eyes, so does Todd Palin, thus both Bristol and Levi carried the blue recessive gene.
DeleteThe odds of 2 brown-eyed parents who carry the recessive blue-eyed gene from their parents is 1:4
DeleteCan I take that class with you? I'm still not convinced that Tripp is Levi's. Tri-G, yes. Tripp, nope!
DeleteTwo dark haired, brown-eyed parents with a blond haired, blue-eyed baby. Levi: dark eyes, dark hair. Bristol: dark eyes, dark hair. Todd: dark hair, blue eyes. Sherry: dark hair (?), blue eyes -- not sure.
Let me know when class starts.
Really 3:47pm, "take that class with you" You want to take a class with us that is called 9th grade Biology? Punnett squares? Hello, you never completed 9th grade? This is basic Freshman Biology. If you'd like to take that class I'm certain that your local adult education facility would assist you in completing Freshman Biology. Unless you are 12 years old and in 7th grade you should know this stuff. You must be a "homskule republican"
DeleteI believe Levi was blond when he was a little boy.
DeleteThe eye color seems unlikely, but basic biology says it's more than just possible, especially with two grandparents with light eyes.
No need to be so nasty anon 4:45.
I have 2 parents with brown eyes, mine are hazel. My 2 brothers have blue eyes. Maternal GPs have blue. Paternal GPs have brown.
DeleteGoogle Mendel
DeleteBoth of the children look healthy, happy, and well cared for. Levi, although young, seems to fit into the role of stable, loving, family man, than Hollywood reality star. Wishing them the very best... It will all work out...
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor's daughter is in kindergarten, aged 5 and she is much smaller and more immature looking than Tripp. I'm starting to believe that he and Trigger Bear might have been fraternals.
ReplyDeleteInteresting contrast between the genuine-appearing grin on Tripp's face in that picture, compared with the cheesy grins he gets on his face when he's posing with his mother.
ReplyDeleteSure makes me wonder what his grandmother tells him... "Smile until it hurts! That's what I learned when I was Miss Wasilla!!"
I am struck by how relaxed and happy Tripp looks. When he is with Bristol he always has that strained, forced smile.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderfully happy family. ;0)
Awwww...what a sweet picture! Looks like big brother Tripp has had LOTS of practice holding babies! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteWallows...Beefy's DWTS baby...how many rugrats running around at that Hillbilly compound again?
PS...Tripp is adorable...but that kid ain't 3 going on 4! Just sayin! LOL!!!
Sure, Tripp gets to visit Levi because it was convenient for Bristol. That's the only reason, she'll take him outside again when she decides to leave AK, perhaps for good. Bristol only does things when it is either convenient for her or she gets good press from it.
ReplyDeleteSo. Bristol can't convince Willow to quit hair school and come home to be nanny to the kids? Gino isn't available to babysit?
DeleteLike her mother, Bristol doesn't do anything that doesn't benefit her.
Sorry, this will be my only cynical comment on this thread.
I am so happy for the picture of Tripp and his little sister. So adorable and honest!
Cute kids!
ReplyDeleteBut I wonder how long it will be before their pictures will grace the pages of US magazine, et al?
(No snark intended; as a long time reader of IM, and knowing how the family operates, I can't help but wonder).
Vero Guy
I see a nice quality leather sofa and some nice cabinetry in the background so it looks like Levi and Sunny have a nice comfy home. Good for them and I can only wish them the best.
ReplyDeleteDO you know that it's THEIR home? Even so, the cabinets look like standard mid-quality cabinets you see in most decent new construction these days (my Uncle & Cousin owned a cabinet biz for 40 years) And Leather sofas can be had for a song these days. Especially when they're on sale. I bought mine for less than any cloth sofas I looked at. Had it made to order as well. Next are you going to comment on whether or not those are granite counter tops? Oh gee...LOOK! A high end faucet!? You obviously haven't been house shopping lately. Even granite has become fairly standard in new home construction. To save money on granite, get the 3/4" cut, not the 1 1/2". It's do-able. Saves a lot of money but still looks expensive.
DeleteOh for chrise's sake you guys!! Quit the negativity and just enjoy the photo of a happy moment. Cute kids.
ReplyDeleteWhat's it gonna take to end the Tripp-is-a-year-older-than-claimed and/or Tripp=Trig's twin conspiracy theories? The objective evidence of documented early-2009 photos and video of Tripp as an infant doesn't seem to matter.
ReplyDeleteEasy answer...birth certificate!
DeleteI can just imagine how much fun he has with his dad, enjoying the Alaskan wilderness. Best guess is that he isn't a behavior problem while with Levi and Sunny since he gets attention and love.
DeleteI don't believe they are twins. But I do believe Tripp is older than they say.
DeleteVideo tape?
DeleteDuh. Can be shown at any time, but can also be filmed at any time.
The answer is to show BIRTH CERTIFICATES, but i believe they are locked away until Jesus returns or something.
Very sweet picture! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDarling baby girl looks content and pleased to be in such good caring hands.
ReplyDelete2:40pm:
ReplyDeleteTrig has DS, that tends to make smaller babies, they can't eat well and they don't grow along the normal growth percentiles. It's perfectly acceptable to speculate that these two kids could be fraternal twins.
Perhaps you haven't seen the 2009 videos and photos of Tripp and Trig together when Tripp was an infant and Trig was considerably larger/older.
DeleteThe fraternal-twins speculation, in spite of dated photos showing otherwise, is frustrating and embarrassing, especially when we claim to be objective, super photo analysts when it comes to the Palin pregnancy hoax evidence.
which Trig? was that in the video. There've been many different children that SP claims is TriG.
DeleteNow THAT is a genuine smile on Tripp's face holding his new baby sister. In all the pics with his mother controlling his life it seemed to always be a mugged up smile showing off for the cameras.
ReplyDelete...or she's having him stick his tongue out at her. That drives me nuts. What Mom teaches their kid to stick his tongue out? If I ever did that as a kid my Mom would have made me regret it.
DeleteThe thing that bothers me about that incident is that when she's teaching him to stick his tongue out, she's sticking hers out at HIM!
DeleteShe's gross!
̶2̶ 0 Palin story free days
ReplyDeleteBut Dinty, I noticed that you hadn't commented on any of the previous 5 blogposts that were non-Palin related. Is it only that you decide to come here and comment when there is a Palin story? Do you even read the other stuff but actually have no opinion? Only time I see your commenter name is on a "Palin Story" so you might have just made your own little tirade rather irrelevant.
DeleteDinty,
DeleteWhy do you care? Is it a contest? Is this your blog and it got hijacked by Gryphen?
Chill people, I comment on lots of different types of stories (often I post O/T in Palin stories), I was just surprised that we were free of Palin stories for a couple days.
DeleteI hope this is a glimpse of a future where the Palins are given the obscurity they so richly deserve (despite their best efforts to remain in the spotlight).
Hey, Dinty,
DeleteGet a fucking life! Plenty of blogs never mention the Palins. Go find one!
They don't need obscurity at this point. They need to be exposed as the unethical family they are (especially Todd who has been involved in criminal activity and Sarah who most likely has).
DeleteHoly Cow...I can really see Bristol in Trip's face. You know, the pre-surgery bristol.
ReplyDeleteHe has her cheekbones,that's for sure.Shame that she wrecked her real face with surgery.
DeleteLevi and Sunny,
ReplyDeleteI wish you and all the members of your extended family well!
It's obvious, and to Sunny's credit, that Tripp feels loved, secure and, positively, radiant when he's with his dad.
It takes maturity and a generous, loving spirit to give those we love the freedom to love others and not feel threatened. Kudos, Sunny!
A blessing on your house.
So nicely written and my sentiments as well. Blessings to you, Sunny, and your beautiful family.
Deletegood for Levi.
ReplyDeleteI like this one too, this one will make Bristol lose her mind!

GREAT PHOTOS. Precious baby girl and family.
DeleteTHANK YOU FOR SHARING AND CARING.
gorgeous and Tripp looks like Mercedes.
DeleteLook how gorgeous and radiant and happy Sunny looks in this shot. She's a knockout!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=260538164068164&set=pb.100003359461492.-2207520000.1352769715&type=3&theater
She is beautiful! And keep in mind, these are not professional photographs, or photo shopped! Just natural beauty and happiness.... so wonderful to see!
DeleteYeah, I agree, she is unreal in her wedding photos. I'm not fond of Levi, at all, but Sunny is a stunner. Too bad Bristol messed her face up, she might have turned out prettier as she aged, many people do. I hate SP, but I admit she was good looking in her day.
DeleteThat was the most honest smile I have seen on Tripp's face in a long time. And Levi is one handsome young man.
ReplyDeleteLevi looks SO grown up. Looking at this photo, it's easy to see how he really WAS just a kid when we first saw him.
ReplyDeleteBreezie and Tripp sure look alike, don't they?
Tripp must be in his 36th month of being "three".
Levi, your little family is just beautiful.
I love me some fat babies. She's darling there with her proud big brother.
ReplyDeleteI truly believe if Tripp is solely under the control of Bristol that he will grow up to think everybody is against him and he will grow up hating everybody like Sarah raised Bristol to be. They gotta break that chain and let Tripp grow up to be an honest, educated and hard working person unlike the people that currently control his life.
ReplyDeleteSAdly his genes are still half Palin. High chance of mental illness.
DeleteDoes anybody think Levi and Sunny will teach Tripp to say homophobic words, stick his tongue at others and to throw tantrums like Bristol is currently doing with Tripp?
ReplyDeleteNah.
I see a proud big brother.
ReplyDeleteBristol how about letting Tripp grow up to be a great big brother to his sister. Don't interfere with their relationship.
Okay?
very cute!
ReplyDeleteTripp has his own room and bed with his Dad and Mom (Johnston). What a world of difference that is for him.
ReplyDeleteAs lost and far from reality that Bristol is you can almost feel sorry for her. She is just too evil and has no ability to make amends. Glad she doesn't know big words like amends because she would try to act it out or do one of those weird fake Christian bloggies about it.
I'm so happy to see this photo. Levi looks like he's settled into the role of husband/father very well.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're wrong about the "short lived" part, but we ARE talking about the Palins here.
Time will tell.
I'm sick. I wish I could curl up and die tonight. (and come alive all better tomorrow). But I had to check my Reader and this was the last post of the night. I can assure you my sick is nothing compared to my happy for this threesome. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI agree that is the most natural, happy looking smile I have ever seen on Tripp's face ever.
ReplyDeleteO/T: Wow, FOX and Rush are really taking heat for the divisive vitriol they spew, even from Republicans. People are saying the public is really tired of their nasty, hateful, divisive schtick. I bet that means $creech Paylin will get her walkin' papers from Fox for sure! YEA!!!
There's a sweet picture on Levi's Facebook page of him, Tripp and the dog sleeping on the couch after a long day. I wish that Levi and Sunny had full custody.
ReplyDeleteDamn, Levi, you are a good looking man. You should consider doing real modeling to support your family. I know it would be tough, but maybe print work in another country where no one knows you. Congrats on your baby girl. Kudos to you for doing the right thing and taking the high road.
