The Strasser's

I tried a new dvd this morning. I didn't make it all the way through the 1st level because the kids interupted me. So hopefully tomorrow I can get all the way through it, well probably Monday.

For our 2nd trip ice fishing we went to a pond that was in town. These kids loved being pulled on the pond in the sled. Owen, Alyssa, and Keira Shawn posing for the camera Cory and Evan, I actually pulled them, it was little hard, but I did it. The girls trying to pull grandpa on the sled

While we were visiting we went ice fishing. Nobody caught anything, but it was still fun. The kids loved to get the snow off some of the ice and slide around. Owen sitting down eating a sucker Look at that frozen reservoir, while we were out on the ice we could hear the ice cracking. Evan all bundled up while Cory was pulling him on the sled. Alyssa and Ashlynn being silly

While we were in Wyoming Grandma Strasser turned 90 years old. We celebrated it a day early. Cory and I hadn't seen her since before grandpa strasser died.  Here is a few pictures that I took during the party.

I can't believe Christmas has come and gone. We have been pretty busy here, espcially getting back from Wyoming and Utah. We had lots of fun seeing family. There is lots to blog about and pictures to post. But I have some other things that I need  to take care of, so it will all have to wait until maybe tomorrow.  So be on the look out for pictures and updates. I am hoping to get my live list done for this coming year.

Evan should have been moved to a little bit ago to a bigger car seat but he wasn't quite 20 lbs, but he was long enough. We were waiting a little bit until he was basically to the weight limit.  So here is our little evan in his big boy seat. Checking it out What a happy boy!

As mentioned in the previous post Santa gave me some whopper's because of the whopper I am in, well here is the picture of what happened. Someone rear ended me on thursday. I ended up with some whiplash.  I was the only one in the car. The first couple of days my neck and back weren't feeling to good. But I am feeling pretty good.  I guess it doesn't look to bad but everything shifted pretty good. The back door now scraps againist the (back piece, I can't think of the name of it right now).

The cousins Christmas clothes Owen's, it fell apart. Alyssa's gingerbread house Alyssa being a reindeer Alisi Santa said ho ho really loud, So Owen his ears. Alyssa got a coloring book and watercolor's Cory got Farkle Evan wasn't to happy to sit on Santa's lap. Evan got some candy. Not the best picture, I got whopper's because of the whopper I got into on Thursday night. To bad santa had candy canes in front of his face.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pies that I made. They were good, but a little rich. I also made 3 pecan pies. Angelica, Cory's cousin, and her brother came to visit for thanksgiving. All the kids listening to her read stories.
