Hello Again

As always I will start out by saying what a crazy past few months it has been!

If you didn't know by now... we are having another baby! By far the best news of the past 6 months.
We just recently did an ultrasound to find out we are having another boy! We could not be more excited. Kase is going to just love having a little brother and I see lots of double trouble in my future! We have had the name picked out for over 2 years, so I am so happy that the little boy I have envisioned in our lives is going to be here soon!

This is the day I found out and how I shared the news with Ty.

This is my first ultrasound at 10 weeks.

 

 

 

We are so thrilled and blessed to be expanding our family. I couldn't ask for better timing between Kase and this baby. With the baby being due in July and then Kase turning 3 in September, I think it will be a perfect amount of space between the two. Kase is independent enough and comprehends what you tell him so well that he will be such a big helper. And they will also be close enough in age to be best buds!

 

Something that has come at a bad time, is news that we will once again have to move. We thought we were going to be able to stay in this house long term and be able to buy it some day, but that is not the case. God has other plans for us and we must trust in him. We have decided to stay positive and look forward and do what we need to do for our family. It's an unfortunate situation as far as timing with a baby joining us in the next few months, but we know it will all work out. So once again we are on the lookout for a new home. We know one day when the timing is just right for us, we will own a home. Until then, home is wherever Tyler, Kase, the new baby and I end up!

 

 

Still looking on the bright side of things, is news that We Got Your Back Chiropractic has expanded it's space! The clinic has almost doubled its square footage and we are looking forward to all the opportunities it will invite. They are adding on two new massage therapists and have brought in a new doctor to help share the load. They will be expanding their hours and with the help of the new doc, Tyler will be able to enjoy a more relaxed schedule. I am really looking forward to having him home at a decent time a few nights a week.  We hope all these additions to the clinic will keep things moving in an upward manner for Tyler and our family.

 

I'll try to be better about keeping this updated as I know the next few months will bring us many changes!

Catch up on the Slags

I thought I'd give you guys a highlight of some of the things going on in our

lives right now. Things have been pretty busy, and don't show much signs of slowing down.

 

Tyler's practice officially opened a little over 2 months ago. We had a great Grand Opening

Party. I'm trying to track down some pictures and once I get them, I'll try to remember to post them.

The party was a huge success and got a lot of people interested in Chiropractic and more

importantly interested in Dr. Tyler. So far things are moving fairly smoothly. They have had

a pretty consistent stream of new and return clients. Word of mouth is spreading quickly.

Tyler's my husband so I'm allowed to gloat... People are raving over him! I have been told many

a story of how impressed they are over Tyler's knowledge and his ability to listen to the patient

and explain things in a way that other doctors have not done. I, of course have seen this in him,

but it makes me (and him) feel so proud when it comes from a patient that has been in pain for

so long and Dr. Tyler has been the first one to be able to help them. Things are going so well,

that they are actually considering adding on to this clinic. The space next door is being prepped

for retail space and so Tyler and his business partner Phil are thinking about snatching some

of that space up for extra rooms. It's still an idea in progress, but is looking like a good posibility.

I have been doing my best to be involved in the company as well. I hope overtime to be able to learn as much as I can and be a helpful asset.

 

The next big thing going on for us is... It's moving time again!! If you know Tyler and I, we move

A LOT!! For me personally, this will be my 10th time moving since I was 18!! For Tyler and I,

it will be our 6th time moving together. Crazy!! So, the good news is, is that once we move this

time, we are not going anywhere for a VERY long time. Currently we are renting a house from

a family friend. We are really happy here and were not planning on moving so quickly, but we

received an amazing offer from Tyler's business partner that we could not refuse. Phil (Tyler's business partner) is getting married and moving in with his fiance and offered us a really great

deal on his house. Because Tyler just started his own business, in Texas you can not get a home

loan until you have had your business for 2 years, we can not buy it yet. So we will basically

 be renting to own the home. But it will be our home and we are so excited. It is  a beautiful

 home and I definitely see the potential to make it our own. And it has a pool! This will all happen

 at the end of this month, so time to start packing!!

 

In the meantime, we are getting super excited about Kase's 2nd birthday coming up! (September 15th) Because it's in less than 2 weeks, we decided with the move coming up, in order to make things

as least stressful as possible, we are going to skip a party this year and take him to Sea World

in San Antonio instead. I think he will really love that and we can have some much needed

family time, just me, him and Tyler.

 

Then after we move in, it's time to get settled in and get ready for the holidays!! We are so thankful

for the opportunities we have been given and thank all our family and friends that support us

along the way. So come and visit us in the new house!!



Toddler Talk

Nearing his 2nd birthday in the upcoming weeks, Kase has been talking A LOT!! Some of it is very

clear, some of it is his own version of words and some of it is just jibber jabber. Just wanted to share

a few of his favorite sayings:

 

"Chicken fren fry"

 

For some reason this is like his favorite thing to say. Everywhere we go that involves food, he says it, like he's ordering. If we are at the grocery store, he says it over and over the whole time. At

fast food, sit down restaurant, and even if we just drive by Chic Fila. The funny thing is he doesn't

really eat french fries, so I don't ever even order them for him. But for some strange reason he still

walks around "chicken fren fry, chicken fren fry!" It's hilarious.

 

"Baby try"

 

He hasn't quite gotten down "Kase" yet, so he refers to himself as "Baby", which to Mommy, he still

is. But this is what he says when he doesn't want you to help him with something or wants to do it

all by himself.

 

"Momma, Dada, Baby"

 

It's crazy at how such a young age how aware they are of things. Since Tyler started his own practice

and hasn't been home a ton, Kase is sharply aware of how special it is when we are all together

lounging around the house. When we are all snuggling on the bed, he'll look at me, then daddy,

and say "Momma, dada, baby" and get this biggest smile on his face and then just fall into us with

a big hug. It is so special because I know he is content and at peace when he has his whole little

family together.

 

 

 

Those are just a few of my favorites. He has been talking up a storm lately and I love listening to

him finally being able to express what goes on in that crazy little head of his. September 15th is

just around the corner. I can't believe he'll finally be 2, he's been acting like it for quite a while,

and people always think he's like 3 by his looks. I love watching him grow!!



My cutie pie

Since I haven't added anything lately, thought I'd just share of pics of

our little monster.

Chilling in his clothes in his chair in his baby pool :)

Took some pics for a contest. Still waiting to hear!

Love that smile

Daddy's birthday!

At the lake for Memorial Day

He was not scared at all.

Caught a cute fishy!

That look is awesome

Likes wearing his Elmo backpack around

123 Jump!

Loves balls

My handsome guys :)

So there's a little catch up with Kase. He is really doing great. Talking up a storm.

It's so cute to listen to him try and repeat really big words, but he does his best.

He's learning quickly as well. Knows lots of shapes, parts of his alphabet and working

on numbers now too. He's already so smart and I look forward to what amazing things

he will do in life. He is a special little guy.



Uploaded all the pictures from my cell on to my computer and found some adorable

pictures of baby Kase. It definitely is giving me some baby fever!

Look at that smile!

Sleeping with daddy.

Too adorable.

Love, love, love that face.

My little pirate

Saying his prayers :)

Beary sweet

Hanging with mom

He was chunky for maybe a month or two

It's so cool to see how he's grown in just over a year and a half. If it's possible, I

think he gets cuter and cuter every day!!



Shoes!

Kase is obsessed with shoes. I can't even go into a store and look at shoes

for him without him freaking out. I know that if I try a pair on him, I better be prepared

to buy them, cuz they ain't coming off his feet once they go on. And this is only his assertion

at 19 months. I can't imagine what it will be like when he's 3, or 5, or 12, or 16!! Well, at

least he will be well dressed. Anyway, here's a pic of the latest bunch of his shoes. He's already in a size 8!



We Got Your Back

Here are some pictures of the construction going on in the new clinic

space. It's pretty exciting! Right now it's a lot of dry wall and dust, but you can

get the idea.

         This is a view from one of the entrances. That will be the front desk on the right.
    The open space will be the physical therapy area. That open doorway is Tyler's office
                                           and to the left are the exam rooms.

                                                          
                                                          Dr. Tyler at the front desk

                                            Father and son checking things out.

                                                                 P.T. Area

                                              Little Man in the first exam room

        Hallway coming out of the first exam room. The door on the right is exam room
                             #2 and straight ahead is the xray suite/exam room #3.

               Exam room #2. Ceilings in the rooms will be capped eventually. Then the
                                               rest of the space is open ceilings.

               Another hallway leading out of the xray suite to Tyler's office and the PT area
                                                               and bathroom.

                                                     Xray suite/exam room #3.

We are so excited and thrilled to be on this next chapter of our lives.

This is the outside. Beautiful right?? It's that bottom corner office. Sign's will be going up soon.
