Friends & Family are Wonderful

Saturday, August 15


28 weeks!!! Here is a picture of Justin and I at the wedding we went too.



Thursday, August 20

I had my glucose test at my Dr. Appt. This is where you have to drink some orange flavored drink, which acutally tastes like orange pop. Then wait an hour and go back to the lab and get your blood drawn. Because my blood type is Rh- I had to get a shot (below the waist) as well. So this Dr Appt was filled with things I'm not to fond of. But I did great with the shot and I was on Cloud 9 thinking I could do anything. I said bring on labor!!! Ask me that in 2 months! The Clinic hasn't called me so I'm guessing I passed the test. Dr. G said if I failed I would have to come back for a 3 hour test, not what I want to do. Headed home after the appt and felt alittle bit of "nesting" going on so I cleaned the toilets, cleaned up around the hosue and washed Lane's clothes, boy does he have alot of clothes. Which I hear that is a good thing because they spit up alot.

First went to church that night with mom and my aunt. Being pregnant I think the AC needs to kick in alittle bit higher, boy do I get hot fast. I have been liking these cool days, but when I'm not pregnant I love the hot weather. There was a little baby boy getting baptized and Oh did it make me want Baby Lane to be here(not that I want him to come early) I just want it to be November 5 (my grandmas birthday I hope he comes on). But 2 months and it will be and time is going fast!!

At supper with 2 of my friends, one who lives in MN who I haven't seen in a long time. We ate at Cubby's then went for Ice Cream at Zesto. You can never pass up ice cream. Strawberry the best!!

Then I(Justin was already there) headed out to Elkton for a Engagement Party at a friends of the Vostad's. What a beautiful night it was to sit outside on a farm around a fire. The stars where out and the weather was just perfect. I heard I missed some good food, of course pot luck parties always have good food.

My Baby Shower put on by my wonderful mother and 3 aunts

Lots of friends and family came and brought wonderful very useful gifts. I was very surpirsed at all that we got. I am very blessed to have such amazing friends and family. Konnor my nephew came with his mom(Justin's sister) and he was excited to help me open the presents. Jesse, Konnor's mom, said that he is excited for his "buddy" Lane to come so he can play with him and I guess he wants to give Lane all of his clothes that don't fit him. Which Jesse said won't fit him until he's 5, but its the wonderful thought a soon to be 6 year old has. I told Konnor him and Lane are going to have to buddy up and con Grandpa Vostad into getting a pig. Konnor wants to show pigs but Grandpa V won't get any pigs. I told Konnor if we get a farm I'll buy him a pig, but Justin doesn't think so. We'll see!!!

My aunts and cousins came to our house after the shower to see the nursery, which is all done being decorated just adding all the little things. And we had chicken supper, great family bonding time. Of course time goes fast when we are all together and everyone had to head home and we sat on the couch and rested. Things wear me out fast!! But it was all worth it!!

Now that I have blogged a couple of times let me know what you think. Should I contiune or just stop while I'm here? :)

Achievement Days 2009

This is what happens at our house during the week when Justin is gone and I am playing with "the boys" Tuff and Roper. $15.00 Wal-Mart Pool and some hot days.




















Big Update...since its been a couple months since the last blog




Hello Everyone,

Alright to speed things up.
June 25,2009 we found out we're having a BOY.
Lane ~ Lane after Lane Frost the bull rider (8 seconds movie) and Gale after Justin's grandfather who was a calf roper. Of course mommy is hoping he'll be a calf roper/steer wrestler and not a bull rider.

We are slowly and surely getting his room finished. (see pictures) The walls are yellow, bedding is yellow,red, blue with baby horses on it.I found letters at Hobby Lobby and painted them blue to hang on his wall. My aunt found these cool vintage horse and little cowboy wall art, in one corner we have a picture of Lane Frost next to a shelf with cowboy boots and a horse on it. Pretty much anything rodeo, horse and cows is the theme for his room.




His clothes selection is getting bigger and bigger. We have noticed he has more camoflauge clothes than mommy and daddy. And lots of road construction outfits so he can be just like daddy.

Its been a very busy summer. A couple trips, weddings, getting ready for baby, relaxing, hanging out with friends. We were suppose to head to Buffalo in September but I found out in June that I get car sick so we decided that 7 months pregnant and a 8 hour car ride wouldn't be a good idea. But Wagner's who we were going to go visit are going to the Stock Show so we have booked our hotel room and are going to be headed out to Rapid in February to hang out with them then. We are very excited!!!!

The end of July a few of my cousins came home from Oregon and Illinois and we headed up to stayed the weekend at my aunts and uncles farm and had a bonfire and of course roasted marshmellows. It was a great time.

August:
My big 24 birthday, nothing special went on. Justin was just glad to be home and not work the weekend. I bought myself Horton Hears a Who for my birthday since that is another one of my favorite movies.

August 15 we had a wedding here in town. The reception was at the brides parents house where they built a cool barn to hold it in. It was one awesome wedding/reception/dance. Justin even danced. Of course he had to dance with the bride to jitter bug because the spinning and being hot didn't go well with his pregnant wife, but he did do alot of slow dances with me. What a wonderful Husband I have!!!

This weekend: August 22-23
Saturday we have a engagement party for some friends and Sunday is my baby shower which I'm excited for and to see some friends I haven't seen for a long time. Should be another great weekend!!

That is all I have for now, I'll try and keep updated on this more than 7 months.

Hope you enjoyed it!

4th of July
