Here is a picture of Super Spider Doggie Ty. My momma made this for Tyler. Well, we've had an interesting March. We actually left for Utah after Easton's blessing and stayed there for 10 days while Luke was on a business trip. It was an awesome week to spend with my family. Sometimes I wish I had a mother being my mother at home. It's SOOOO nice to be cooked for, and have my mom watch my kids, and have someone to talk to.
Anyway, we actually had quite a scare with my mother 2 Sundays ago. I was going to get ready and my mom offered to watch Easton for me. Well, I heard a breathy noise and looked over at my mother passed out in bed. She was gray and unconscious. I yelled at her and yelled for help just to remember no one was around except for my 2 boys. While calling 911 I was feeling for a pulse, with no pulse. Well, about 45 seconds passed and she came to. My dad walked in the room and stated that she passed out prior that morning. We went straight to the ER. She had another fainting episode while doing paperwork and they got her in to a room. I was in the room with my mom and she said, "Lindsey, I feel light headed", she fainted again and her heart went completely asystole (or flat line) for one minute. It was a really scary experience. To make a long story short, she had a procedure done called a cardiac ablasion, she is on a medication, and needs to do some lifestyle modification (like eat more salt and exercise less) Interesting... anyway, the doctor caring for her is the best electrophysiologist in the nation. So, hopefully she is taken care of. He attributed the problem to "hyperactive vasovagal sycope" Basically, the nerve that lowers blood pressure and heart rate, is very hypersensitive and caused this to happen. Hopefully no more experiences like this.
Well, I definitely feel like experiences like this just remind me how short life can be. And that I always want to live a good life and be kind to the people I love. My mother has been doing VERY well the last 1 1/2 weeks.

Mommy and Super spider Doggie Ty.


My 2 crazy boys (normally Easton is calm, and Tyler is wild)


So, Easton is looking REALLY close to how Tyler looked. Guess whose blank stare is who...
Tyler or Easton?


Tyler or Easton?

Ok, first is Eason, second is Tyler. Similar blank stare huh?

Family came to visit this week. We got to hang out with Kris, Emily, Max and Baby Will. We played hard! In the midst of things, I don't think I got one good picture of Tyler and Max, BUT... Here's a pic of Will and Easton. Easton is catching up Size Wise!

That was a fun week! Thanks! Can"t wait to live closer. Max cried when we got home. For some reason he thought we were just taking a long time to get to Tyler's house.
