Our Westergard family

An update of how fast my family is growing!


This is his favrorite past time. His legs start jumping before he even gets in.


In February Dave and I got to go to Kates house. it was so much fun spending time with the family. I even got to accomplish one of my life long goals...to eat at GATORS! I was assured the meat we were eating was not alligator meat.

These are two models for Patagonia.

Justin is such a big helper and able to do so many things. When i ask him to take out the trash in the bathroom (which contains some wet diapers) he returns looking like this and ready for the job (rubber gloves, nose plugs, and a huge garbage sack).

Halloween brought us Oggie the Raptor (from the baseball team) and Stan the Seagull (from the news paper). Our Aunt Julie is such a seamstress and so kind with her talents!

Blaire and i started a project this summer that was great to do during maternity leave...who needed sleep? I needed to accomlish stuff! :) thank you blaire!!! Gary isn't cussing your name anymore i promise. it's time we can look back and laugh at this point. .:) ah ahah a! That was the before this is the after.

Lindsy enjoys her jam sandwhiches :)

Christmas time was fun for the Westergards. Lindsy is a new dancer and does such a great job!

Happy anniversary

We have been married 9 years now, can you believe it? So far one or more Of our children has been sick every year but 2. My mother-in-law says its the curse on Gary since I was not able to get married in June and we went for march instead. This year is no exception to the curse, as I sit up late writing because I am coughing too hard to sleep and my boy sleeps on the floor beside me so I can keep am eye on the fever boy. Needless to say Gary won't come near me right now :).we figure we're going to pick a random date in the year to celebrate our wedding day. As for now I admire from afar and am so grateful for such an amazing husband. He is so caring toward me and our great kids, it makes me so glad that they love him so much. He is my best friend and biggest support. I love you gar!

NO LONGER MR. NO NAME!!!
Pictures by Gina Baker
Carson is his name. We are excited to finally make that announcement. Okay so we've had it for about 3 months but I have been busy napping and feeding and napping and feeding...okay so that's all i feel that i do anymore. :) Maternity leave has taught me alot and we have had some interesting experiences with our new little guy.

1. Kids over the age of 6 months should sleep through the night...no exeptions!!!

2. umbilical cords turn to sticky goo when your husband puts it in the dyer with all new baby clothes

3. The appetite of a nursing mother is INSANE!!! And now it looks like my tummy is pregnant again..not really though

4. Sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep....oh i wish i could sleep!!!! i haven't been this tired in 3 years!!!!

5. daytime tv stinks

6. Gary is tired of me quoting Nate Berkus

7.I am sure I will talk to my husband again...I just keep falling asleep the minute the kids are asleep.

8. I am spoiled by family and friends they are taking such good care of me and my family! thanks!

9. Loving being a stay at home mom

10. It's easier to accomplish stuff when you have less kids. Gary told me to paint my living room before the baby was born. I felt that I would be able to move around better after my pregnant belly was gone. So we waited and it turns out that I forgot after you have a baby they need to go to a babysitter and also get fed every couple hours. It kind of threw a kink into things but I got my living areas painted and all my cupboards as well.

11. Suprised me to have the baby blues...darn hormones!!!

12. Everytime I felt like my brain began working again my kids would wake up all night long and my thoughts turned to mush and I couldn't remember my last name.

13. cradle cap looks like someone threw up on your sweet baby's scalp...we're trying to get rid of it.

14. solitaire or facebook at 3am

15. Gary needs to proof read this so I don't embarass myself with spelling or lack of coherent thought. bah!! I'm sure it will return one day :)



Thanks for reading my maternity leave is over and I am about to enter the workforce again. Wish me luck!

Mr. No Name is here!!! Here are some pictures that we are able to post right now, we will get more later. Thank you to all of you who have called, texted, or prayed for us we have really felt the love and comfort from all of you. He was born rather quickly and I begged for more epidural and it has still not worn off this evening :). He is 7lb 14 ounces and 20 inches long. he is so far a good eater and sleeper YaY!!!

New Quilt for Lindsy

Grandma made this awesome quilt for my Lindsy bird. It was an eye opener for me that it costs much more to make a quilt than to buy it. But it was made with so much love I wouldn't trade it for anything. Lindsy is so happy with it and the colors are the best, purple and pink!!!

This is the back side. :)

Thank you Grandma!!!!

This is family bowling day!!! justin and Lindsy were thrilled....we were the only ones in the whole bowling alley, i wasn't even sure if it was a operational business but they took our money and let us bowl. :)

Happy pre-school graduation!!!

We wanted to get pictures of grandparents on mothers day and got half of them. We will get more next time. The kiddos really love their grandparents and pray for them each night. Thank you Grandma's and Grandpas!!! You are all great at loving my kids!

This is my wonderful husband who helps me so much. take closer look at this picture and realize this man gives me FOOT RUBS!!! I had to take a picture to brag...and he now tells me so i can remember he used to do this at one time. :)

Lindsy sure does love her dad! happy fathers day Gar!

HOw nuts are these kids? this was just a cute picture. they are playing spies and have their outfits and gear on. they creep through the backyard watching out for robbers and searching for suspicous activity. :)

Family Outtings this Spring

Look at this cute mug? She is so proud of her new unbrella...it goes everywhere with her. The hair gets messed up daily becuase this is her 4th outfit of the day. we headed to cabellas to see all the cool animals. I had to make an ikea trip becuase i bought night stands without measuring sufficiently and after one was assembled we realized it would NOT fit in my bedroom....let alone two of them, smooth move becki.

This is Gar's version of having fun. He ripped out the paper backing of the metal in the barn. "now those dumb birds won't be able to sit up here and poop on my truck!!!" that may have been paraphrased but he kept mumbling something like that.

Disney on ice was such an amazing adventure for Linds! The girls got some special minnie mouse lipgloss and....they ate it. We started smelling it before we saw it, then Annie thought there was blood on her lips. Nope! just tons and tons of waxy yummy tasting lipgloss.

Two minnie mouses.
