The Strasser's

So today was our last day in this ward. I am excited to move to Keizer. Because it's hard with all the driving. We are going to be moving in to Cory's parent's house. Our Realtor says that she thinks we are going to get the house. We are still waiting on the bank. If we find out it's going to be a longer period of time we will get a apartment. So we are going to get a storage unit to put most of our stuff in it. So we are moving on Friday. I am going to actually start packing tomorrow. I need to get some boxes. It's pretty stressful trying to get ready to pack. I have waited til the last minute. So I am not sure how long until I update again. I hope to get family pictures soon! I need to schedule an appointment and figure out what we are going to wear.

So, Rebecca tagged me now I’m supposed to write 7 interesting/weird facts about myself. I am not sure how many things I can think of. Here it goes: 1. When I was younger I use to put both legs behind my head while I was watching TV. I could also put one leg behind my head and hop around on the other leg. I hope to someday do that again. 2. I also used to be able to slide Smarties to the tip of my nose. 3. My dad has brain damage. 4. I had seizures when I was 5. 5. I had to take another year of kindergarten cause of my seizures. 6. I moved around when I was 12 or 13 cause my parents were in the hospital, because of a motorcycle wreck. 7. My favorite foods are watermelon, Chinese food, & chocolate. So now I tag Chelsey, Kimber, Aleta, Lila, Heather, Vanessa, Stephanie, Rachel, Allana, Christa, & Katie.

So Owen went to his 2 month appointment this morning. He also got his 3 shots. Head: 40 3/4 cm 70 percentile Height: 24 3/4 in 96 percentile Weight: 15lbs 6.5 oz 99 percentile He's a big boy! Plus I asked the doctor about Alyssa's warts. Now I will be treating her warts. Because before since there was so many the doctor just said that they will go away, and they haven't so she told me what to do to treat them.

Ok So I lacked on the first bath pictures. So I finally got pictures of him during bath time. Plus this time he didn't pee on me. I just keep a wash cloth down there so I don't get peed on.

Well Owen is 2 months old. He has started smiling a whole bunch and talking. He is definitely a momma's boy. He is kind of scared of Alyssa. He has his 2 month appointment on Tuesday so we will see how much he weighs. Last appointment he weighed 9lbs 10 oz. He is in 1-2 diapers from Costco. He has a lot of character. He loves his mobile, he gets excited about it. There has been a couple of nights where he hasn't gotten up until like 6 in the morning. He just basically loves to eat and sleep. He's ticklish on his feet and sides.

An update on Alyssa. She loves Owen! She has been trying to read to him, she gets books and sets and tries reading. She learning to count but she ends up counting things more than once, like when we ask her to count our fingers on one hand sometimes we end up with 6 to 7 fingers. She is still working on the potty training, still not going poop in the toilet, kind of not so nice cause of the smell, working on it though. Goes pee though, but has some accidents.

So I kind of finally have time to add an entry it has been a long time, well a week since I last updated. We will be moving, not sure where we will be living yet. Haven't heard anything about the house yet, but there is another house we are thinking of putting an offer on. So we will probably be living in a apartment, I am hoping to find somewhere with washer and dryer hookups. I really want a washer and dryer of my own instead of going to the laundry mat or to a parents house.Oh I did forget to mention that there was another offer put on the house, so we put another offer, for the full price that they are actually asking. So I hope we hear about the house tomorrow or the next day, cause it is so nerve racking that it has been so long since we put in the offer. A little update on Cory and I. Well Cory has been working quite a bit. He doesn't like the drive time of going back and forth. That will be solved soon. I have been trying to get the house ready to pack, need to find box...

So our nephew was born September 9th. So now Owen won't be out numbered by all of these little girls. Congrats David & Kimber! It looks almost like Owen and Alyssa are about the same size.

An update I thought was in order. So Owen was blessed on Sunday. I found his blessing outfit at All Dressed In White while we were in Utah for Chelsey's wedding. It was originally 42.00 I bought it for 30.00. I love this outfit! We are still looking for a house. We are waiting to see if we are going to still get that house in Keizer. Alyssa and Owen are growing up so fast. Well Alyssa loves nursery every time we pull into the parking lot she always says "nursery". She loves to go see her cousins in Keizer. So when we move there she will be seeing them more than now. Cause every time we get ready to go just to the store, she always wants to go see them. Owen is still only getting up once during the night which I am loving cause Alyssa was harder. He is getting bigger!! He is chunky, as you can tell from the blessing pictures. I actually bought a 3 month blessing outfit just in case. Which was definitely good that I did. I am hoping to get pictures taken at JcPenny soon. I ...

Here's some more pictures!

So I got some pictures from Aleta that she took at the hospital when Owen was born. Thanks Aleta they are very cute.

So Owen is 6 weeks old, and is getting bigger each day. I will post some pictures later. He loves watching Alyssa. But he doesn't seem to fond of her sometimes. His favorite thing right now is his mobile. He was making noise as it was going round. He actually smiled at Cory yesterday, it wasn't gas.

So last night we put in an offer on a house. I am really nervous I hope that they expect the offer. It's a two bedroom 1 bath house. We are hoping to add a master bath and bedroom. I am really excited to have place that I can actually do anything to the walls that I want and hang up curtains. So we will see what happens. There is another house that we are looking at that might do if this one falls through. So pray for us! On another note Owen is getting blessed on Sunday. I will post pictures of him in his blessing outfit.

So we got Alyssa some water colors and finger paints. She really loves the finger paints. So now we have a bunch of pictures that she has done. Alyssa loved having Cory finger paint with her.

So yesterday we went to the state fair. It was pretty hot! I got my neck, arms, and face sunburned. Cory and Alyssa got some sun also. Owen was mostly in his stroller or shaded. He did pretty well. We saw the chinese acrobats (well I didn't see very much of the show), what I saw of it was really cool. Alyssa looking at the goats Cory and Alyssa Siosi & Alyssa Eliana,Siosi,& Alyssa They had duck races that were pretty cool.
