The Strasser's

There are several entries that I have done. So a little update, Alyssa cut her thumb on my razor that I have told her not to play with. Well I am glad that I didn't end up having to take her to get stitches.

So the other night I took pictures of Owen & Porter in the same pj's. Alyssa,Owen,Porter, Eliana, & Kenize

So when I uploaded pictures onto the computer I found this picture. This picture was taken the morning of when we moved. Actually all four of us basically slept on the futon that night, it was basically miserable. Cory thought it was pretty cute so he asked for the camera and took it.

So Alyssa is still going pee in the toilet. I am still working on the pooping in the toilet. I hope to get it down with her sometime. She loves to try reading to Owen, and he actually starts doing his baby talk to her. It's very cute! She likes to sing Isty Bitsy Spider, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, & Pop Corn Popping. She is having a problem with warts. I feel really bad cause there spreading and the doctor wouldn't freeze them off.

So Owen really loves to talk. I love the sounds that he makes. He gets really happy. He hates having his diaper dirty. I am trying to get him to do tummy time as much as possible during the day. He has started to love sucking on his hand or arms. I can't believe that he is 2 1/2 months old. He really has a lot of character. He still is a little afraid of Alyssa. He is in size 2 diapers still. He is kind of rolling on his side. He holds his head up pretty well, floppy sometimes.

I really like this hat so I got some pictures of Owen wearing it. He's such a cutie! I know there is a picture of him with the hat not on. This is my favorite picture! I love the smile.

Well I am sick and I am tired of being sick. My throat hurts, I stuff in throat (I know you probably didn't want to know that), and I am coughing which doesn't help with my throat being sore. So we haven't heard anything back about the house that we made an offer on. We looked at one house the other night and the next day there was 2 offers already on it, it was brand new on the market also. The Realtor is keeping tabs on houses for us. So I figured out what Alyssa is going to be for Halloween, she is going to be a fairy. I need to find her wings. Not sure what I will dress Owen as. So I finally found my memory card reader so I can now load pictures onto the computer.

So the new trailer for the Twilight Movie came out. I am very excited about going to see it. So I need to find a babysitter for Alyssa. The movie trailer is on the side. And there is a new movie poster

Well for a little update when I find my memory card reader I have a few pictures. So yesterday was my mom's birthday. We went to dinner with her and her boyfriend Rick (Richard), and my grandma. Well yesterday while I was at my grandma's I left to the store for a few minutes when I left Alyssa was playing with Mr. Potato Head, and I had just fed Owen and laid him on her bed. Well I came back and I heard crying Alyssa was in there and had a pillow over his head, she was pushing the pillow on his face and smiling. So they can no longer be left with anyone together, until he is much holder and can hold his own.

So I have been thinking. There are some things that I want to do and I hope some day that I can accomplish them:  Read the book of Mormon all the way through  Read the bible new/old testament all the way through  Visit crater lake  Go to southern California  Disney Land or World  Sea World  Whale Watching  Climb Battle-Axe Again!  Get A House  Get A Newer Car  Go To General Conference  Go To The Temple With My Dad  Go To The Temple With My Grandpa  Go To The Phantom Of The Opera  Read The Whole Work And The Glory Series I am probably thinking that there will be more things to come to mind.

Well to start off I was packing by myself, than towards the end of the week family started coming over and helping. We moved in one day. Which was really good! Cause I didn’t want to come back on Saturday during general conference. I didn’t watch it Saturday I listened some though cause we were still unpacking some of our stuff. During the week Alyssa had been sick, well she still has a cough, so that didn’t help plus two of those days Alyssa didn’t take a nap at all so she was very grouchy and that didn’t help me at all, cause I got even more frustrated. Owen was pretty good he is very content. But he did get excited when he saw me. So I have finally got something’s under control. Our clothes are the number one priority. I still have something’s in the car that need to be carried up. It is hard cause we don’t have our own place. There is some thing’s that I will probably have to go get from the storage unit that I wanted here. But it will all work out. Alyssa now has a yard to run ar...

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.
