It has been a while so let's catch up on the family...

Lindsy was put into a baby contest...it's a little different from the pagent baby tv show where we were telling her to put on her model face and "look like you the only one who matters in the world" i swear we didn't do that...perhaps that is why we didn't make it on to the float for the 4th of july. she was definately the cutest baby at the contest and she won in our opinion. she got the "best eyelashes" prize. When they were announcing who was going to win justin yelled out "I hope you win Lindsy!!" what a great supporter of his sister. :)

I think she looks like her daddy in this picture....it's the farmers tan i think.

Later that night we went to the high school and watched the fireworks. justin wasn't so sure about it but in the end he LOVED it and kept telling me that he wanted to live there, he wanted to come back once a week, if it weren't for the lack of bathrooms he would have wanted to do it.

It's party time!!! LIndsy turned 2!!!! We had a couple parties as usual and she had a fabulous time every time. She loved every present she got, every bite of cake she was able to get her hands on, and every person who came she was so excited about. thank you to everyone who made it such a wonderful time for her. Grandma and Grandpa gave her one of her most favorite presents....light up flip flops

She evens sleeps in them each night.

cousins, summertime, ice cream....can't get better.

this is my attempt at creative cake decor. i worked from 8:00 to 11:45pm (dumb i know to start late) and I was FRUSTRATED...but i like how it turned out so all is well.

Lindsy wouldn't hold still at all during her party so this is the best shot i got of her as she is running from toy to toy (and not sharing at all might i add, she had a very hard time about that).

This is her new swimsuit, she puts in on everytime she sees that mom forgot to put it away.

Fathers Day!! We got together with cousins again and we had such a great time! Love the hot dog roasts! I am so proud to have Gary in my family. He is a wonderful dad and such a caring husband. I find myself still wishing we could quit our jobs and just hang out all day long with each other and the kids.....I am glad that I love my husband he's pretty cool.

This is a picture of linds with an ENORMOUS marshmallow in her hand, it's like the size of an APPLE!!! she loved it!

They all loved those mallowsGuess who is starting to play ball again??? it was opening night and we had a BLAST!!! snow cones, nachos, oggie, a new hat for Justin, and cousins....oh don't forget the fireworks! Gary was poppin' the tums after this evening...not 20 years old anymore are you sweetie?

Our family photo at the ball park.

In my spare time....i'm a den leader. we went to the fire station and justin had a blast since we biked it and he did it on his 'one wheeler'. :)

Usually there are mosquitoes everyehwere but tonight was great, we sat on the deck and ate puddin' pops and talked about the day. It is getting better and better everyday as my kids get older and we get to know each other more and more, i love it!!

I took my camera and the kids to the hospital today. They have such a beautiful area to take pictures. The kids were very cooperative...with their little kiddie treats, smarties. I felt like i was training a puppy, with every good behavior or big smile they got a smartie. ah haha !!!

LOTS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS...HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS!

My nephew's 1st birthday...he aparently loves crowns.

I am taking a cake decorating class with some of my sister's and this is how awesome we are!!

I thought I was the best at ruffles...until we started asking people...1 and 2 year olds and it turns out Jenilynn is the best. It felt good to be the best for a few moments at least. :)

Jusitn and our goat Nickel. He is so good at putting this goat out to pasture. Fearless!

Oh and we have 11 kittens...they are now old enough to wander around the garage so Gary has put them in an "enclosure". What are garage's for anyway? cars? vans? nah! cats and goats!!

Hill Air Force Museum....we had a blast! I was suprised that we had a good time without a bunch of kids to keep my kids occupied. Justin and Lindsy really enjoyed all the simulators and all the big planes and helicopters that are EVERYWHERE! we even ate our lunch under an airplane and Justin thought that was great.

Grandma, Lindsy, and Billy

Justin just did something that is vile but because he did it all by himself he was so proud!! He made his lunch all by himself today....

white bread, miracle whip, apricot jam, cheese, ham, and grahmcrackers. I kept asking him if he wanted something differnt but he was positive that it was yummy and he ate it all. Way to go my stubborn boy!

My attempt to publish from microsoft word....failed. and it's midnight so i hope this makes sense.

EASTER SUPRISES!

We had a great easter week! our most exciting discovery was that we more than doubled our animal count! Gary brought home a male baby goat that he is excited will grow big and procreate with one of our other goats....we are statistically barren here on the Westergard farmayard and so he was brining fresh blood into the mix. The next morning we wake up and go out to the bard and realize tha tone of our bloated goats just gave birth to TRIPLETS!! They are so cute!! Also both of our cats are pregnant again since we did not get them spayed in time..well one of them had their kittens today. This MORE THAN DOUBLES my animal count!! Good Grief!!



The Westergard Easter party was great!! we dyed eggs and visited. Lindsy thought that she would try some blue dye and so spooned a few mouthfuls in, she was proud of the color of her tongue.

LIndsy is in a gymnastics class and she loves to show off how she can do butterflies (stretching) and horsie kicks.

It was gary's 33rd Larry bird birthday this year so we all wore shirts that I made....NEVER going to sew again... it's all about the fusing and GLUE now!! :)

Lucy had her bithday and we went to her house and played. We also got to to ride horses which was awesome!! Justin wouldn't go to bed that night until we called and found out that his horses name had been Roho!
