Has it really been 3 moths?!?!

Holy cow! I cannot believe what a slacker I am.

Well I have some catching up to do. How is already Sept.? I am looking forward to cooler temps this summer was a scorcher. I am a little tired of being a human salt lick ;) The babies on the other hand love my salty legs.

This Lil Mr turned 8 in June I am not even sure how that happened. Just the other day I got something in the mail from my vet that said how to take care of your senior pet for Lilly, I got Oscars last year makes me sad both my babies are seniors :(

I went and saw Sheryl Crow in June. I saw her last year too she always puts on a great show.

July was even hotter and the air was SO smokey from all the fires everywhere... Thank goodness I had some amazing visitors that were in town. I was SO excited to be able to meet up with Sharlie when she was here for her family reunion. She looks Amazing and is running circles around everyone so exciting to watch all the new things she is able to do with her new lungs and heart. I love my BCF!!!!

I went over to my bros on July 4th for a bit but I headed home before fireworks. The 4th isn't one of my favorite holidays too smokey and I was SO over fireworks this year. I'm a very protective of my babies and they hate fireworks too, so I try and keep my music on a lil louder so they don't hear them.

All of the Lander fam was in town in July so we jumped on the opportunity to get a updated fam photo and of course its not a fam photo without Ricki and I in matching dresses....

Ricki and I plan matching outfits most of the time... So it was pretty funny when I went to pick her up to go to the farmers market without discussing our wardrobe prior, and we still managed to wear matching outfits. Great minds think a like...

I hope everyone had a great summer full of fun memories and lots of time spent with loved ones. Xo

The Triple Triple

Woop Woop!!!

I am 33 aka the Triple Triple, you know me ever year there has to be a theme!

I had a blast celebrating with friends and family. My friends surprised me with the cutest Madonna themed cake and it was so yummy too. We have some friends that are very talented when it comes to cake making skills click here and you can see some of their creations.

Here are a couple pics from my bday weekend...

A Lil Spring Cleaning

Holy Cow I can't believe it's been over a month since I have posted on here. Can you say Slacker!!! Sorry Blog Land!

Well after a great run (17 months) I was admitted into the joint, the theme was "SPRING".

As you can remember I am thippless so it definitely made this stay a lil interesting. Let's just say at the end of the 2 weeks I was missing my Thipple (portacath). I thought maybe just maybe my arm veins would of had a chance to heal on their nice 7 year break of no piccs. I was banking on just getting a Picc, but no such luck.  My veins are horrible and I am not quite ready yet to get something permanent again. So I felt like I was 8 again as I went with peripheral IV's the whole time. Total stay 5 pokes and 4 IV's total, not to bad!

IV #1

The Fam came up Riv and Makena had a blast on my bed going up and down, They loved the large elevator and the revolving door too. It was better than Disneyland I think they said ;)

I was quite colorful after this stay 

My mom playing Draw Something

My IV bag that goes everywhere with me connected to it 24/7 my fancy arm bracelet and my lil reminder that Astra was watching out for me. Between her and Tiff I was taken care of I was in the last room Tiff was in Im sure she planned that. I am glad she didn't pull any funny Business... considering I was there for April Fool's ;)

My bam bam doo! I pretty much wore my hair like this every day... lookin good ;)

Had Madonna's new album on repeat the entire time.... Love it!

GNO joint style! SO MUCH FUN!!! Cards Sushi and GREAT company! 

SPRING theme!!! Loved this theme Good job Momma

blowing smoke rings! Its a true talent ;)

The day I got home left Fake spring to Real Spring! 

Its amazing how you can do nothing for 2 weeks but yet you get home you are so exhausted. This  makes the transition from joint life to real life a bit overwhelming. Hopefully I can go another 17 months or so before I have to do it again.

Thank you everyone that made this stay a great one.... my fabulous Docs, my amazing nurses, The best  family and friends EVER you guys are ALL AMAZING!!! Thank you! Xo

Flat Kylie

This is my cute cousin Kylie she lives in Minnesota her first grade class just read Flat Stanley. In the book Flat Stanley is mailed to a relative to visit them and have adventures.

Flat Kylie was sent to visit me in Utah! We had so much fun… She was on Cloud 9 when I opened up the package and she got to meet me and the  babies.

We hung out and she got to feed the babies, played ball with them and even helped me take them on a walk. The babies and flat Kylie were instant friends.

It was an exciting time for flat Kylie to be in Utah while things were warming up and spring was blooming. She got to climb trees, walk through gardens and look at the BIG mountains. Flat Kylie even got to visit the Easter Bunny while she was in Utah.

We used our imagination a lot and pretended to walk in the clouds, we pretended we flew to Paris and even pretended we were astronauts and went to outer space. We had so much fun together I hope you enjoy the pictures. 

My Grams

Day 19

Something you miss

I miss hugs from my grams... She was pretty AMAZING! Always could make everything better with a  simple hug.

a lil bit of everything

Ok fall is in the air... I can't believe summer is over :(

Some things that have been going on...

~ FOOTBALL season is upon us!!! :) Yahoo GO UTES AND CHARGERS!!! I went to the opening game for the UTES what a game we played PITT and they were ranked 15 and we were ranked 24 it was a close game. Actually it was a nail biter... ahhhhh! But we pulled it out. That's right the UTES won! Woop Woop

~OKTOBERFEST So much fun!! Went with my Fam and Rickis fam. Its up at snowbird which is about 7900-11000 ft high. The higher elevation is a lil tough on the twins for me so had to bust out EVY aka the EVERGO. He treated me well tho and kept me satting around 92 on 2 1/2 liters. I prob could of turned it up even more being that my heart rate hovered around 120 resting. I was a lil nervous being that it was my first public outing on o2 well minus the airports. Of course there were head tilts and people staring, but I just waved and smiled at them and said hi ;) It was a great time and I just love seeing Ricki and Somer part 2 aka Makena and Roise... they are so cute together.

~Everything princess!!!

~Started Aztreonam... I mean Cayston I think I will always call it Aztreonam. Feeling a lil slugish so hopefully this will whip those lil mucus monsters into shape, because I definitely GOT MUCUS! I think maybe there should be a CF calendar kind of like the old GOT MILK adds but instead GOT MUCUS... I think it will go over really well ;)

~The babies are good I take Lills back in this week to get another spot checked I am praying its nothing So please send her positive thoughts. I found it literally 10 min after getting her home from getting her stitches out from the last surgery. My heart just sank but I am so hoping its just a mole.

~I didn't win the surf contest with CFvoice.com but they asked if they could put my video on their website so I'll let ya know when they put that on there.

~I hope everyone is enjoying their Labor day weekend!! Xo

Fun in the sun

I had so much fun with my fam yesterday! We went to a BBQ at a local park and then they went swimming. Well I don't do public pools thanks to the germ a phobe in me so I had no intentions of even going to the pool at all. Then my Mom and John and I decided to go watch a bit while Makena my Dad and Shane and Tam swam.

Well I was dressed in a sun dress only. Who knew there would be a water slide at this pool. I couldn't resist tied my dress into what resembled a old fashioned swim suit, and the rest is history! I haven't been in a public pool for years... so much fun!!!

Sun Dress the new Swim suit line!

Really going Fast!

We are up SO high!
