Chomp is on bed rest

Our poor baby girl Chompers is on bedrest for TWO weeks.  A few days

ago she hurt her back and now has to be on anti-inflammatory pills and pain meds

for 2 weeks as well. I feel so bad for her. She is so sweet and looks so sad. But I 

am hopeful for a full recovery. Mommy will take good care of her!

Daddy's little warrior

Tyler went paint balling last weekend and Kase was fascinated

by Ty's gear. Ty even let him shoot a couple shots. That's what is above his head

on the fence. I've never seen a little boy so happy with a gun. It's a little

frightening for a mom to see. But I do love this pic. He looks so serious, like he's

looking around for the enemy. Boy we are in trouble with this one!

No more facebook

So I'm going to be closing my facebook account soon. With all that free time, I will be able to update this blog much more often. I will use this as the primary way to connect with friends and family. I will still post pictures and updates on all things Kase and the Slagowski family. Follow me or enter your email address at the top and it will notify you every time I post something. You can also leave comments or email me. I look forward to a break from the fb and being able to share more mommy stories in depth on here.

Some thoughts

Just wanted to share a few thoughts.

 Last month Kase came down with the flu. It was one of the most challenging weeks
I have ever had as a mother. Watching your little one go through the flu is hard on the eyes and
heart. As everything was going on, I was finding it a little hard to cope. It's a very stressful situation when your child is that sick and miserable and you can't do anything to make him better. He needs constant attention. You're tired, he's tired, your husband is tired. It was pretty rough around here. But thankfully we made it out on the other side just fine.

After that grueling week, I was thinking to myself, imagine having to go through all of that with TWO kids. Tyler and I have toyed around with the idea of having another baby sometime this year. But after that week, I'm glad its not now. I just wanted to give a shout out to
all the moms I know that have a handful of babies and kids. You guys are amazing and nobody works harder than moms. Sometimes I feel like I am barely keeping my head above water raising one. And the idea of having another is a little frightening, but you guys are inspiration that it can be done.

 

The Houston Zoo

Kase loves animals. But his favorite animals are lions, elephants and giraffes. So when we went to the zoo recently, you can imagine he had a blast.

Waiting for Santa

I am so excited about Christmas this year! Last year Kase was so tiny, only 3 months old, so he didn't really get what was going on. But this year he is definetly more aware of the excitement and magic of Christmas. He loves seeing all the lights and plays with all the ornaments

on the tree. Tyler and I even did a little Christmas shopping with him along. We figured this was the last year we could get away with that. I can not wait for Christmas morning!! Watching his little face light up at all the gifts and just feeling thankful for everything God has blessed us with.

Pretty babies

  A few weeks ago I ran into an ex of mine that I hadn't seen in several years. We said hi

 and asked how eachother's lives were. I told him I had a 15 month old son and he excitedly

shared that he had a 20 month old daughter. He immediately brought out his phone

full of pictures, like most parents do. I however, did not have my phone on me. He started showing me a slide show of his cute little girl. She had blonde hair and blue eyes just like her dad. As cute as she was, us parents always think our kids are cuter. But before I could tell him anything about my darling child, he looked at me and said, "See.. should have stuck with me. I make pretty babies!"

"EXCUSE ME!" is what I was thinking! Who are you to assume that I did not make a pretty baby! Anyway, I smiled it off, told him it was nice seeing him and left shaking my head.

I couldn't help but laugh when I told Tyler and some friends the story, because in my opinion, Tyler and I made the prettiest baby known to man!!

Just look....

There is nothing more beautiful than that face.
