Kash's first Hospital stay

My sweet little boy has been so sick. He got sick on Mothers Day and wouldn't stop throwing up for two days! He couldn't even hold his own head up and looked so pale. When we took him to the Doc they said that we had to take him straight to the hospital or they would send him in an ambulance. We told them we would take him right away ourselves. He was extremely dehydrated. We didn't even have to wait in line we got right in at the ER and he has been admitted to the hospital all day. They just told us he has to stay another night! UGH! He was so sick that when they put the IV in he just whined and if anyone knows Kash he is a FIESTY little thing. Then when why poked his finger he said "Mom this guy pinches my finger" he kept telling me he wants to get all better and have some steak. haha he told all of the nurses that too! He has been soooo weak and lifeless. But today he seems to be on the uphill. His tests are all coming back low and so they have to keep pumping in the liquids but he is acting more like himself:) I got some super cute pics to post but I have not uploaded them yet. I will post them later. Thanks everyone for your texts, calls and prayers. I am sooooooo lucky to have such amazing family and friends.

Here are a few pictures from the past couple of months. Things have been busy but so much fun. We have had fun game nights and dinners with friends. Kash had his surgery and is doing great. Lundyn is getting big and is just such a blast. I love being a mom even though it is such hard work. Life is great! Here is my little Lundyn sitting up!:) Kash loves to play with his cousins and Aunts and Uncles. Here is Cody taking the kids on a Roller Coaster pretend ride:)

We went and ate at Nello's while the men went to priesthood session then headed to Ocean Blue for dessert! YUMMY!

These 3 love to play together and we have so much fun watching them!

Kash had his adenoids taken out and tubles put back in. This is right after the surgery auntie was lovin him up:)

Bunko time with Friends. Or "BONGO" as Matt would call it! We had a BLAST!!! Kash bringing Lundyn toys! Do you think that he likes balls? haha

So I know that I am the worst blogger ever. I have pictures to put on but no time right now to do it! I am also not on my computer because we are staying with Tyler's family to babysit while his parents are on a cruise. Things have been crazy lately.
Kash went from the flu, a cold, two double ear infections, now his 3rd one!!!! The doctor wants us to put tubes back in and perform surgery by removing a gland that will help prevent more ear infections. I am so scared for him but I know that it will be for the best!
Lundyn has been sick also. We don't know what is wrong yet. She had an ear infection,yeast infection and still screams a lot. I am taking her to the Doctor again tonight to see if she has another ear infection because she has been crying all the time and grabbig her ears!
Its been tough around our house but I love my kids and hope we can get them better soon. I will update with more pictures next time.

2009-01-21T11:58:00.004-07:00

VENTING- (pictures coming later)

Man things have been so crazy around our home!First Tylers accident happened... and Tyler is finally recovering very well. I have been having a HECK of a time nursing lately. I was sooo ready to just throw in the towel bc I injured my shoulder, been bleeding causing baby to throw up blood and just was in soooo much pain! I thought I could tough it out but it got worse and worse! I met with a consultant yesterday and realized that I am having an alergic reaction to lansinoh!!!! It gave me a freakin chemical burn on top of the soreness from nursing. Luckily I am not using it anymore and she helped me to fix the problem with the latch on so I am praying I will be able to tough it out and it will only get better from here. I haven't been able do do anything in weeks because all of my time was spent on figuring out how to nurse without dying:) And poor Kash has not had any mommy time. I am lucky to have amazing family that helps watch him everyday!!!! Lundyn also was going through a scary time of choking when she would drink to much and then she would stop breathing for a sec or pass out. One time she turned so blue and it scared us to death. She is doing better and it has not happened since then. SCARY SCARY SCARY! But things should only get beeter now! I am so thankful for FAMILY AND FRIENDS that are willing to help pull you through the hard times:)

I HAVE CIGNA CLINIC INSURANCE AND AM LOOKING FOR A GOOD DOCTOR... DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF ONE?

2008-11-15T14:15:00.002-07:00

Tyler's Accident
My sweet husband was hit by a car last night while riding his bike. He has been training for his 2nd triathalon and an elderly lady did not see him and ran right into him! He was taken by ambulance to Banner Gateway. He was so blessed and is doing okay. No broken bones but a lot of bad road rash, bruises, soreness and a hurt lower back. We feel so blessed that he was not hurt worse! Thank you for all of your nice texts, calls ect. We are lucky to have friends and family like all of you! Further updates to come

She is such a fun baby and we feel so blessed to have her! The labor was not too bad but it took them 7 times to get an IV in me. It was not fun and took almost 3 hours to get it right!!!

This is just the cutest picture of my sister and her sweet little girl Layni:)
This is Colton and Tyler's brother Taylor. They are great friends and it is so fun to have such amazing brothers:) We love you guys!

Kash got REALLY sick a few weeks ago and it was so scary!!!! He could not stop throwing up for 3 days. THis poor face says it all! Kash was so pale and sick that he didn't even have the energy to sit up. He would just flop in my arms! It was sooo scary and you can tell by this picture how pale he was!!!!!
We got to take a fun trip with my family to California. The last vacation before Colton left. We had so much fun. Kash had a problem with bleeding from one of his ears and had to stay away from the water. It took a lot of the fun out of it but we still had a great time!

We had so much fun shopping, sightseeing, eating, playing at the beach and just enjoying everything! I was so sea sick and so that was not fun but it was so worth it.

Kash was not so sure about most of the rides. HE WAS SCARED TO DEATH! But he got to have his first churro and see his first light parade. It was such a great weekend! I am 8 weeks prego and feeling more sick then I did with Kash, but not too bad. We are on a coed soccer team and loving it! I will post pics later.

He is such an amazing husband and daddy! We have grown so much in the past years and I am so blessed to have him in my life! We were able to eat at the Melting Pot and see the 2nd National Treasure. It was so much fun! I love you Tyler!!!!

Kacie and Cody were able to bless Layni at home. It was such an amazing blessing and we were thankful to be able to be there to hear it! Kash got this suit from Tyler's family for Christmas. He looked so dang cute in it! Layni right before she got blessed. Kash and Layni would not cooperate for a picture!We had the best food that night! Thanks for a fun night guys!What a stud! I forgot his jacket at home that night but he still looked cute:)
Me and my sister in law took the kids to Peter Piper Pizza. The loved every minute of it!

Sweet little Shyre. She hardly eats anything so I was so proud that she was finally having some bites of my favorite dish, Macaroni and Cheese:)
We moved some things around in our house to make a play room for Kash. We figured it would be best to just leave one room that he can destroy! We found these organizers at targer on sale for like $40. We bought 3 of them and they were the best buy ever!
Kash does the funniest things. I found him with a back scratcher in his mouth, sitting on a tupperware and playing with my phone. haha. He is such a goof ball!
Sweet little Brityn. She is such a princess isn't she. I just love her to death. We took the kids to the Phoenix zoo and I bought a membership for 3 adults bc kids that are 2 or under are FREE! If any of you want to go sometime, just let me know!
WE had fun watching this monkey. It was close enough for the kids to really enjoy!
Looking at the Savannah area of the zoo! Lots of fun animals to see! They were all getting tired by this time
Tyler had to blow up this entire thing on his own bc we didn't have a pump and Kash wanted to play in it so bad. It was so funny watching him and I seriously thought he was going to pass out.

Still going and trust me it took him a very long time to finish. I tried for mabey 1 min. then gave it back to Tyler to finish:)
The end product and Kash loves it. He just needs friends to play in it with him!

2008-01-03T09:48:00.000-07:00

I had to make this long post into 4 seperate posts so be sure to look down at the other three for more fun pictures from the past few weeks. These are at a gorgeous beach in Miami. I had so much fun with my brother and his family. I am so excited for them to come home! I love you guys and thanks for such a fun trip!

We had so much fun playing in the water at the gorgeous beaches in Miami

This park was so beautiful! They had all kinds of animals, a petting zoo and pretty lakes!

2007-12-05T08:25:00.000-07:00

We made it to the top of the wind Caves! It was such a fun hike especially after Thanksgiving the day before!

I feel like I have not posted in forever. We have been having so much fun the past month. Kash is growing and learning so much every day! We love our new house, neighborhood and ward. We feel so blessed to experience all these changes right now. Tyler's grandparents and aunt and uncle were in town from Utah. We had them over for FHE and ate homemade ice cream. It was fun to see them! Last weekend we had a blast! We went to the new outdoor mall on Greenfield and Pecos. We found some cute clothes for Kash. Then we took him to Chuckee Cheese Pizza. He LOVED it! Then we went to Toys R Us, Bahama Bucks, and Blockbuster. We finally got home and decided it would be fun to go to the store to make a special treat for the next day. We got Kash out of bed and took him to the store to end out our random night. He was jammin to the music and we all had so much fun. We made the goey chex mix(SOOO GOOD!) and took some pics to share:) My mom took me and Kacie to California to watch the So you Think You Can Dance tour. It was AMAZING! We had such a fun trip together just us girls. I missed my boys though:) I have to get the pics off of Kacie's camara then I will post them. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

2007-11-06T08:17:00.000-07:00

Okay so Chelise here are the pictures. I know I am slow! We had such a fun Halloween. Kash LOVED being a puppy:) He was a pretty cute one:) We got to see a lot of our friends and their adorable little ones. Here are some of the fun pictures!

Here is Kash playing in the Bouncy thing at my parents neighborhood party!

I think this is one of my favorite pictures of my little guy:) I just love him to death!

Here are some fun pictures from the Zoo, Halloween parties, and just random fun ones. I still need to post some of the house but we are still waiting to get some things done. They will come soon enough:) I also was able to go to the temple last week with some of my family members. I am so thankful that we have the temple so close and what an amazing blessing to be able to do a session with my extended family. Happy Halloween to all of you! I have had so much fun catching up and seeing old friends lately. I am so blessed to have the best friends in the world!

Wow there is so much to catch up on! I have not posted in a while. Things have been crazy but we are having a blast in our new house. We are still waiting for our couch to come in. I will post pictures of the house next time. Kash loves to play at the park by our house. We went to Schneff Farms, Mother Natures Farm, and lots of other fun things. We had both of our families over for dinner and had home made ice cream with yummy toppings. I have really loved cooking lately. Ty made some DELICIOUS home made sushi and we could not believe how good it turned out!!! KAsh has tonz of bruises on his poor head from hitting it on EVERYTHING. Poor kid.

My family has had a lot going on lately. My mom hurt her leg and had to go to the hospital. She is doing better now. My dad is having to deal with a lot of crap. The newspaper posted a very UNTRUE front page article about my dad. He is being accused of things he never did wrong and the paper is making him look so bad! He has dealt with so much crap and it is so amazing to me how he has such a good attitude and handles these horrible accusations. He is the most loyal and honest person I know and of all people to accuse him of these wrong doings just makes me so upset. Anyone who knows my dad knows what an honest and great man he is. He is such a good example to me. This needs to end bc I can't stand to have anyone in my family back in the hospital!!! haha. It is becoming my second home this month:)

I will post more pictures of the house when we get it more organized. Our new ward is amazing and we have already met so many new friends. Things are going well and Kash just keeps learning more and more each day. He is so much fun! I am going to post a slide show below bc I have so many fun pictures. These are just a few of my most favorites!

2007-10-12T10:51:00.000-07:00

I feel like I have not posted anything in forever. Things have been so crazy around here. Like I said in my last post my sister Kacie had her sweet baby girl. Layni Jo. She is the cutest little girl and we all just adore her. Kash cannot stop kissing her! I have so many cute pictures of them but they are on my sister's and my mom's camara. I will have to post them later. But here are just a few pics. My sister had her baby on Thursday and we had to move out of our Queen Creek house by Friday so the renter's could move in. It was a CRAZY weekend trying to find time to visit Kacie and help her and move out of our house. I still was able to make a few quick stops at the hospital to see the little angel:)To make the weekend even worse, my poor dad had to go the emergency room all weekend long because of chest pains. They had to do all kinds of tests,shots, needles, x-rays. It was the worst timing bc the Police Olympics that he has been working on for 2 years just so happened to be that next week. TALK ABOUT BAD TIMING AND STRESS. He has been through so many trials the past couple months and I cannot even tell you what an example my dad is. He has the best attitude I have ever seen. I look up to him and love him so much. HE is my hero:)
We have so much work to do in our new home before it is going to really feel like a home. WE don't have a couch or our entertainment center but those will be coming in a few weeks. We finally have a computer and cable and are slowly but surely getting things organized. This was Kash's first bath in our new home:) Sorry that it is sideways but I don't have time to fix it right now.
I also just wanted to mention how much I loved General Confrence last weekend. What a blessing. My sister in law decided to start watching each day for the hand of the Lord and write it down as a journal in her blog. I am not going to blog about it but each night when I go to bed I think about how often the Lord has helped me in my day and it is amazing. I feel so guilty for not pondering about this more. We truly are so blessed! I will post more pictures of the house and other events as soon as our lives come some what back to normal:)

2007-09-27T14:16:00.000-07:00

Layni Jo Backus was born this morning after a long night of Labor. I look so grose bc I got NO sleep. The nurses had a hard time trying to get the IV in Kacie and I think that was the hardest part! It took Way to many tries but they got it and Kacie did great!!! I had the opportunity to be in the room when Layni was born and it was amazing. She is PERFECT. 6lbs 8.oz and Healthy. Layni was so alert and seriously so dang cute! I will post more pics but they are on Kacie's camara. Kacie is recovering well and we all ADORE sweet Layni!!!!

But now he can beat me too so its a good time:) I don't have any pictures of us playing but I will get some soon. We ROCK out! HAHA. Here are a few pics! I love this look:)
Kash is look at me like mommy please get off the computer and give me some lunch! I have been being soooo patient!This is supposed to be study time and I walk in to find Ty like this:) Such a hard worker that he can't even keep his eyes open! haha
He made us some of the best homemade sandwitches the other day! SOOO good and I am totally not a sandwitch person!
We have our walk through for our house tomorrow and I am so excited. We have a few things we need to get done on the house before we can move in but it is getting so close! We can't wait! My sisters baby is due next week so we are so excited for that too! Thats about it!

My brother Colton had his Court of Honor. He is such a stud. I love my bro!Tyler and Kash. I love this picture to pieces! These are my most favorite boys!!!!This was right before Kash went in to get his tubes put in. He was so hungry and tired bc they would not let him eat or drink anything before the surgery. He actually seemed pretty happy considering:)

When he woke up from the procedure it was so sad. I have never seen him so upset and I could not settle him down. He was SCREAMING and throwing his body all over the place! He could not keep his eyes open so they kept rolling in the back of his head and it was so SCARY! He was so tired, hungry and the medicine just made him feel yucky. Luckily on the way home he settled down and fell asleep.This is right when I got home. This picture makes me so sad. His little face looks so sick:( But I am just glad its over and so far it seems to be making him feel better. We just hope it stays that way!
Tyler and Kash blowing out the birthday candle on Tyler's favorite ice cream:) He didnt want a cake so we had to improvise. Lame I know but that is what he wanted!We had a great weekend get away and ate at some really yummy places! We were able to stay and the Phoenician and it was so fun! We forgot the camara so I can't post any pictures. The one below is Ty and Kash on Tyler's Birthday. Kash sure does love his Daddy. Tyler is the best dad ever and such a good husband. We love you so much babe! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Kash loves to pretend he is talking on the phone. I love this kid to pieces. He cracks me up!
This is right before church. I finally found some shoes that fit him and he cannot curl his toes up
Kash practicing a handstand. He loves to be upside down and he dances to every song. It is so cute. He likes to jam out!
So that is about all that has gone on for us. We found out that we can move into our house in a couple weeks and we are so excited! I will post more pictures of it when we move in! We still want to put crown molding in and paint it so who knows when we will actually be moved in for good:)

2007-08-31T08:02:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of me with Kristen and Brooke! They were by best friends in gymnastics when I was younger. It was so fun to see them! Kash was being camara shy.The kids all went on a walk on a stormy day and I just love this picture! This picture is of Kash kissing Auntie's tummy. He wanted to give baby Layni a kiss at her shower!:) Kacie got so many cute things and it was such a blast with great food!

Kash loved to play on the slide and playground!

So it has been so fun but Kash is still really sick with major ear problems. He is scheduled to get tubes next week but he has a double ear infection again and has been up the last 3 nights crying in so much pain. I am looking forward to the tubes and pray that I can get my sweet little boy back! Me and Tyler are going to stay at the Phoenician this weekend for his Birthday. We need a get away. So that is about all for us! Sorry about all the pictures I just love them all!

This is my sick little boy! He had Roseola for a couple of days and got up to 104 degree temp. It was so scary and I am just so glad he is doing better. He wouldn't eat and would just wake up so thirsty and sad in the middle of the night! POOR KASH!

My brother Colton had to get his wisdom teeth out! He was so funny! He started ASU today and is leaving on his Mission next summer. I am going to miss him! My dad turned 51 years old! He is seriously the best dad! I am so thankful to have such an amazing dad. He has gone through so much stress the past couple months and it amazes me how he still is spending time with us, cooking and making sure everyone else is happy. I don't know how he does it! I love my dad to pieces!

Here is my nerdy little boy:) haha. He loved putting these glasses on!

Our house is coming along great! We are so excited for it to get done so we can move in!!!

Wow it has been a crazy couple of weeks. My little boy turned 1 years old! We got some fun pictures taken for his 1st Birthday and they turned out so cute! He had an ear infection again on his birthday so that was not fun but we are taking him to a specialist to see if they want to put tubes in or what we can do. The poor kid has lived on antibiotics for practically his entire life! We also spent a week in San Diego and had a blast. We stayed right on the beach with a beautiful view! We were able to play on the beach, go to Knotts Berry Farm, San Diego Zoo and the Tim and Faith concert. I took so many picture the past week that I am working on putting them into a slide show and most of you won't even be able to get through half of them! I went crazy with the camara as usual! Things have been going great for us and we can't believe how fast time is flying by!

2007-07-21T10:59:00.000-07:00

Here are some more fun pictures. I will post more later but we are having a fun summer and staying busy! Brityn put the bow in Tyler's hair and I had to take a picture. He is such a great dad and uncle. The kids just LOVE him! The picture of Coy looking in Kash's ear was a while ago. Coy is in Med School so I had him check out Kash's ears before I took him to the Doc. Thats about it for a quick update!

2007-07-19T15:04:00.000-07:00

This month has been fun and busy as ever! More fun times in the sun! Lots of swimming and water! I added a pictured of Kash and uncle Colton!We went swimming with Collette and Sam which was so much fun! Kash turns 1 on the 29th. CRAZY!!!!!!
Shyre had her one year old birthday and we took lots of fun pictures and played outside in the water. She is such a cutie pie! I just love her in this dress!!! Kash was so mad when I tried putting socks on him. He cried for so long and I couldn't help but take some shots!

We went swimming with Collette and Sam which was so much fun! Kash just loves the water! Plus it is way to hot these days! I cut my hair off today so I will post pics of that later!

Things have been crazy as usual. Lots of swimming and playing outside. Kash has 2 ear infections once againg the poor guy:) The fourth of July was great and Kash loved the fireworks. Kash is walking but still falls a lot. I think having two ear infections might through off his equilibrium a bit:) But he is trying! It is so fun to watch him grow. He started saying "uh oh". We had a fun get together at Jamie's house. It was so fun to see everyone and catch up. Our new house is coming along and we are getting so excited to move in!!! Things are going great and we are just having a fun and busy summer! Kash will turn 1 at the end of the month. It is crazy how fast time flies! I had lots of pictures so I just made a slide show!

2007-06-25T09:21:00.000-07:00

What a BUSY BUSY week! I didn't take pictures of everything but I will just mention what went on this week. We meaning Jake, Sarah, Cody, Kacie, Tyler and I all went on a date night to pizza mart and bowling. HAHA let me tell ya it was the worst bowling I have EVER done! I think I got more gutters then pins knocked down:) It was fun though! I look freaky in the pic with Ty.

I got to go to lunch with my friend Jaclyn who I had not seen in YEARS! Jamie was also there and it was so good to catch up and just laugh about old time! On Thursday I got to go to lunch with Katie Salmon who is moving next week to Cali! I am so sad but so excited for her!

Beth had her baby show this weekend and it was so good to see her! She looks so cute prego and I am sad to say I didn't take a picture but others did so you guys need to send me a copy! It was fun to see everyone and catch up! We also had 2 wedding receptions that night for Matt Harrison and his wife and for Alexa Riggs and her hubby. Both families are great friends with my family so it was fun to see them! The receptions were right by eachother and both very beautiful!

This is my little niece Brityon. She is such a little princess and loves when I take pictures. I can't get over he HUGE blue eyes! I love her to pieces! I also got to babysit a boy named Sam from our ward. He is so cute and Kash loved having a friend to play with all day. They kept stealing food from each other and it was so funny!

2007-06-18T12:21:00.000-07:00

My brother and his family are in town for the summer and let me tell you that it is CRAZY! The kids are having so much fun playing together. Shyre and Kash love to play together and it is so fun to watch them interact!

I got to see Kasey Perkinson this week and go to lunch with her and little Cooper. It was so fun to catch up with her. It is so fun to have friends that no matter how long you don't see or talk, you just pick up right where you left off. Kacie, Cody, Tyler and I went on a Friday night date to Kona Grill and the new Bass Pro Shop! It was so cool! I don't have any pictures because believe it or not but I didn't take one!

Me and Kacie took Ryan shopping with us and bought him and Kash a matching shirt. They looked so cute! It was impossible to get a good picture because it was to hot outside and to there were to many fun toys inside!

We had a great Fathers Day! Tyler and I are so lucky to have such amazing Father's! Kash is also lucky to have Tyler as his Daddy:) These 3 men are some of the hardest workers I know. I feel so blessed to have such great examples and Father Figures in my life! We love our DADDY'S!!!

My cousin Chelise was in town for her baby shower last week and it was so much fun to see her prego! She is living in Iowa while her husband is going through Med School They also came over to my parents to play games and we had a blast! We played Balderdash and I think Chelise about killed the baby she was laughing so hard. We all were! It is such a fun game even though I suck at it:) I don't think I have ever won in that game! Kacie and Chelise are only about a month apart. So that's about it for us!

2007-06-07T13:41:00.000-07:00

Wow so many fun things to post! Well of course I am still loving taking as many pictures as possible and so its hard not to post them all! Here are a few things that have happened with us lately!

Today Kash got his first hair cut! Sarah Salmon (Reader) did it for us and she did such a good job! It was a random last minute thing but Kash really really needed it!Don't worry that my sister took 42 pictures of it:) Kash was not sure what was going on but he did such a good job! He was so cute and just stared at Sarah. She did it so fast and I was impressed with her skills:) I love his new haircut and I can't believe how blonde it is now that it is so much shorter! Thanks Sarah

The other day I was looking on the computer and I looked down to see Kash crawling into the cabinet! I was laughing so hard and he was too. He has so much fun exploring and seeing what things he can get into! He is so funny!

I got Kash a new outfit and he just loved playing in the grass and getting it totally dirty! He loves to look for airplanes and point them out to me. It is so cute! He also loves to look at the camara. I think he is quite the little poser:)

We also celebrated my mother in law's birthday on Sunday. Tyler made a delicious salad and was very proud of it. He is such a little chef! We went to dinner that weekend with his family to Red Lobster. It was so much fun and so good! On Sunday we hung out and played games. Happy Birthday to Andrea we love you!

2007-06-01T10:49:00.000-07:00

Ok so I just love taking pictuers and I get a little carried away sometimes. We got a baby pool for Kash to crawl around and play in. HE LOVES IT! I had so much fun watching him splash and smile his CHEEZY smile. Look at those teeth! HAHA. Kash is so much fun and makes me laugh everyday.

2007-05-28T07:49:00.001-07:00

It has been a while since I posted anything. It has been a CRAZY month for me! I will just post some of the highlights.Kash loves to listen to Tyler or his uncles play the guitar! He will sit and try to play with them! It is so cute!

We celebrated my mom's 50th birthday on May 20th! We had a suprise party and one of her best friends decorated her front yard with posters of pictures of her when she was younger SOOO funny! Kash had another ear infection but it was not as bad as the others! Colton my youngest brother crashed on his longboard! He was lucky not to break anything but was pretty banged up. He also GRADUATED! CRAZY!
Kash is now 10 months old! Time flies by so fast. The Banners came over on my mom's birthday. Kash loved playing with Ellie!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST WE ARE BUYING A HOUSE ON RECKER AND ELLIOT! IT IS THE PERFECT LOCATION AND HOUSE FOR US AND WE ARE SOOOOOO EXCITED! I will post a picture of that later! It won't be done until September!

2007-05-15T09:38:00.000-07:00

Okay so I was tagged a while ago and am just now getting to it. SORRY! So this is how it goes. Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their 7 things, as well as these rules. So here it goes!!!

1.) I Absolutely LOVE being a mom. I have so much fun watching Kash grow and learn new things everyday. He started copying me when I point my finger and say no. He does the same thing right back to me and its so hard not to laugh:)
2.) I am competitive when it comes to games. Settlers is a new favorite game of mine that is also a new found war for the family. When you win you get to put your name in the box. It takes us a couple hours to play and we will do anything to get our name in the box!
3.) Tyler and I are not allowed to cook together:) We are both bossy in the kitchen and end up arguing when we try to cook together. haha. We have our own ways of doing things but we are working on it:)
4.) I get really nervous and sick to my stomach for other people. When someone I know has to give a talk, perform or do something that makes them nervous, I think I get more nervous then they do! Even if they are not nervous I will still get nervous for them.
5.) I love to listen to other people's problems and do what I can to help. Sometimes I make things worse, but I truly LOVE trying to help others find solutions to problems to make them happy. Maybe that is why I have a dream to be a counselor some day.
6.) I can't stand seeing people or animals get hurt. I don't like watching wrestling, boxing etc. It makes me so sick when I see a fight or a hurt animal. Seeing others in pain really bothers me.
7.) I have the best friends in the world. Even though I don't get to see a lot of you, I think about my friends all the time. I am so lucky for the good group of people I had to hang out with throughout my life. The fun Rocky Point experiences, Sleepovers, Road trips, Songs we made up, etc. I could name each of you and tell you how you have impacted me but it would take forever! I truly feel that all of my friends helped make me who I am today!

All of you are now tagged! Get posting your 7 FACTS!

2007-05-05T17:12:00.000-07:00

I figured out how to post my wedding music video on my blog so you can all check it out. Just click on the link on the top right:) My brother Coy made this video for us to have at our wedding. It was so much fun to make! My sister KACIE also has her 2 videos she will add to her blog so you guys can check those out too! This has been a very fun and eventful week. I will fill you in on a couple of the fun things I got to do! I was able to watch my sister in law at her dance recital and she did an amazing job! We also got to watch the suns win! We heard Blake on AI sing the coolest song! We had a fun lunch at Ashley's with lots of food and babies! We all had to bring foods that started with an S. It was so fun to talk and catch up with everyone! Thanks Ash for the fun day! My sister Kacie found out she is having a baby GIRL!!!! She is so excited to have a girl to spoil! Tyler and I went to a banquet for the Police Games. The food was amazing and I hired a babysitter for Kash (other then family) for the first time! I went to 3 baby showers this week including Lindsay Wilcox who was down from Florida! I spent 3 hours waiting with my dad to give a presentation to Fort Mcdowell! That was not to fun:( So these were the main events for me. Tyler got to go to the Desert with his boss and shoot guns and ride the Rhino's. He had a blast! Kash has been pretty healthy this week so that was the biggest plus of them all. He has been BITING Me all week bc his teeth hurt. I have huge teeth marks in my arms haha. He is getting so big so fast!

2007-04-28T12:47:00.000-07:00

It is so crazy how fast time flies! I cannot believe that it is almost May! Tomorrow Kash will be 9 months old! He was sick all last weekend with a burning fever and cold. The poor kid couldn't breathe through his nose so he couldn't eat! He lost weight and was down to 16lbs so the Doc said I have to take him in every month to make sure he gains his weight back! Luckily he is feeling better now and is active as ever! Here are some pics from him being sick:(
I had a wonderful birthday on Monday. My sweet husband gave me a massager, beautiful flowers and a cute poem he wrote! Ty also took me to my fav restaurant Texas Roadhouse. We went out with my family to another one of my favorites, Oreganoes on Monday night. I got lots of new clothes for my birthday which were much needed! Other then Kash being sick all day, my birthday was awesome! This was at Oreganoes. I had to teach a lot of private lessons this week because of cheer try-outs! My sister in law, Lindsay made Stapley and I am so proud of her:) She will be the cutest little cheerleader! Last night Tyler was craving Peanut butter oatmeal cookies, so he decided he wanted to make them. Can I say perfectionist... you should have seen how long it took him to make each one into a perfect ball of dough and then perfectly push them down with a fork. It was to funny, but I must admit they looked great and tasted even better!

This has been another fun week. My tumbling girls are all preparing for cheer tryouts. It is crunch time so everyone is trying to get in for private lessons at the last minute! They are all doing so good and I wish them all the best of luck! I took Kash swimming a couple times this week and it was a blast! Jamie and Carly Hammond came swimming with us on Thursday. Carly and Kash were a little bit cold but still loved the water! It was fun to catch up with Jamie since we don't see each other as much as we used to.

Tyler's dad took us to the Suns game on Tuesday. The seats were really close so it made it even more enjoyable! I love watching the suns, but it would have been even better if we would have won! Last night Sarah Reader had her wedding shower at my parents house and I was able to visit with Katie Salmon.

She is such a great friend. I truely feel so lucky to have such amazing friends in my life! All of you have made such an impact on my

life and I am so greatful for the friends that I have and for all that you guys do for me. I cherish all the fun memories that I have with each of you! I hope that there are many more in the years to come. Thank you all for being such amazing friends!

This week has been another busy but fun one. I had to take Kash back to the doctor on Monday night at 10p.m. Kash has another ear infection! So he has been pretty miserable and fussy lately. My inlaws finished their backyard. They have a new pool, fire pit and NICE BBQ area. Needless to say that we will be spending a lot of time over there this summer:) Kash really enjoyed his first swimming pool experience. We went under the waterfall and down the slide! My mom suprised me on Tuesday and took me and Kacie to an amazing circus show. It was called something like Cirque de Eloise. They had some amazing tricks and stunts. We had so much fun! Coy and his family are heading back to Mexico this weekend and we will sure miss them! We all went and ate at Tia Rosa's last night and saw a lady choking! It was pretty scary but she ended up to be okay. It was an exciting night topped off with playing balderdash til late. Its a popular game here at the Johnston home. Kash has learned to wave, clap and loves to try to sing along when we sing him to sleep. He is learning and growing so fast!

Brityn my niece and Ryan my nephew

Wow this week has been a busy one! We started it out waiting at the Doctor's office for 2 1/2 hours to find out what has been wrong with KASH! He went from sleeping through the night to waking up nonstop all night. He had an ear infection and also has 4 upper teeth coming in from the top! Poor kid has been in a lot of pain and the medicine is not helping. So we have not been able to sleep much lately. Coy's kids came over to play with Kash this week. He loves his cousins! We also were able to go to the play My Fair Lady at the Broadway Palm Theater. My Grandpa Coy took Tyler and I and we loved it! Then to top off the week we bought a new car! Yes my green car is gone forever:( haha actually I am so excited to get rid of it. We got a 2007 Dodge Nitro and it is the coolest. I love that it is so unique. Tyler insists that we put rims and tires on it so I will have to post a picture of it next week. I had a little bit of fun with the camara this week so I decided to share some of my fun pictures! Kash really needs his haircut!

This week has been so much fun! My brother Coy and his family suprised us and came into town from Mexico. It was so much fun to see my nieces and nephew! They are so cute and Kash loves having people to play with. Coy got into a school in Miami, Florida and will be moving there this summer!

Kacie was in a performance at MCC for their dance company. The show was so amazing and Kacie did such a good job! Especially dancing, tumbling and stunting as a prego girl! The fog guy got a little carried away and set off the fire alarm so we all had to evacuate at the beginning of the African Dance:) I got to see it twice!

During the Delay I got to see one of my favorite girls, Katie Salmon. She was watching her soon to be sister in law Sarah Reader who happens to be my sisters BF. Sarah just got engaged to Katie's brother Jake! It had been a while since I had seen Katie so we took a picture during the Fire Drill.

Another fun thing that happened this week is that Kash has matered his CRAWL! It is so much fun to see him crawl around without face planting every second!:) But now I am having to watch his every move because he gets into EVERYTHING!!! Its amazing how much he has changed in the past couple weeks!

2007-03-19T14:45:00.000-07:00

My sister Kacie is pregnant! She is expecting a baby on September 26 of this year. It is so fun seeing her get excited and ready for a baby. She has been so good with Kash and always says "He is just as much my baby as yours!" She does spend a lot of time with him and helps me out all the time. It will be fun to have another cousin so close in age. I am glad she gets to have the huge tummy this summer and not me!!! Its going to be a hot one! I am sure excited for her though!

2007-03-14T17:01:00.001-07:00

We were able to go to Mexico over the weekend and had so much fun! We took tonz of pictures and so I decided to put them in a slideshow for you guys to all see. Kash couldn't get enough of the sand and water. We stayed in a beautiful condo that had the most amazing view. It was such a fun vacation for us to get away even though it was short. The bad part is that my mom, bro, aunt and I all get really sick! We don't know if it was the flu or something we ate in Mexico. But we are doing better and the trip was well worth it!!!!

2007-03-07T14:11:00.000-07:00

Kash went on his first bike ride and loved it! The baby helmet barely fits his little head! We also had a BBQ, Fire and Movie night at Grandma's house! Kacie and Cody joined us. Kash couldn't take his eyes off the fire! It was so cold that night we ended up coming inside in the middle of the movie! We wanted to enjoy a night outdoors before it gets to be middle of summer and WAY to hot! We had our favorite BBQ meal- hamburgers, ranch dorittos and IBC cream sodas! Not the best for you but its fun to splurge now and then!:)

Well things have been going great for us lately. We took Kash in to get an upper GI x-ray of his chest at the hospital on Monday. They said that things look good and they couldn't find anything coming back up. Kash had a while where he was throwing up a lot and had bad stomache problems! He has been doing so much better. But this picture just makes me laugh. Grandma was watching him while I was coaching and he decided to upchuck all over her!:) She was pretty happy about it can't you tell. I just loved the look on his face like "oops!"

Hey Everyone I thought we would try this out because we have family and friends spread out all over the place and we love hearing what is new in your lives! We just wanted to let you all know a little about whats going on with the Landvatters.

Kash is almost 7 months old and is so much fun! He is learning to give kisses and scoots all over the place. He loves to laugh so much and gets hickups all the time because of it. He has been struggling a bit with acid reflex and we have an appt. to get an x-ray of his chest next week. Kash is 100% all boy and a stubborn one at that! We love him to death and feel so lucky to have him in our lives.

Tyler is staying extremly busy. Recently he partnered up with a guy named Cory Black. Tyler is working as a General Contractor. He is basically building and designing custom homes and pools. He loves his job and puts tonz of time into learning and working hard! He also is an AMAZING dad! Kash just adores him and loves to play. Sometimes I have to tell Tyler to leave the room so I can get Kash to eat cause all he wants to do is laugh with dad.

I am just enjoying life as a mother. Kash keeps me on my toes at all times! I have been having really bad back,neck and shoulder problems and am in therapy right now for all of them! I am working from my parents house as a rep for the Western States Police and Fire Games. My dad is the director and I just sell advertising for the upcoming Games. I am also teaching a few tumbling and cheer classes/privates.

We hope that all is well with everyone and would love to hear an update. Keep sending those blogs and those of you who don't have one need to get one!
