The Strasser's

Well are hoping to close the house before Christmas. Than we can start working on it. We need to paint, refinish the floors, window's cupboards, linoleum in the kitchen and bathroom, and maybe some landscaping before we move in. I need to work on one thing and get all the paper work turned in and the inspection is on Tuesday. So I heard Alyssa say some funny random things to Owen while I change his diaper. "Owen stinky" "Owen needs to go potty in the toilet" "Oh No! Owen went potty in his pants" "Owen your suppose to go poop on the potty" I thought I would share those remarks that Alyssa has made I thought they were pretty funny, cause she doesn't go poop in the toilet and she is telling him that he needs to. But the other day she did go poop in the toilet, a little bit. So that is a start.

I can't believe that Halloween is all over with. So yesterday we went over to my mom's work and everyone there loves to see Alyssa and Owen. They were giving Alyssa candy. She was a Fairy. My mom found the dress at a thrift store and the wings that Alyssa wore were the wings that I used when I was young. Owen was Frankenstein. We got the outfit from Aleta. Porter & Owen All the kids

So my cousin got her book published. If you would like to purchase a copy it is for sale at PublishAmerica.com (her publishers site...which is the cheapest!); Barnes and Nobel; and Amazon.com. I did purchase a copy I can't wait for it to come.

So I talked to my mom this morning and she said that she went to the Goodwill Outlet and they had to evacuate the store, because someone donated a motor case for a bomb.

Ok so about the house, well you know I talked about before that we made a offer's on two different house's and the 3 bed 1.5 bath didn't get accepted. Well the 2 bed 1 bath did. So we put an in offer of $116,000 and they came back with $127,000. Than we came back with $120,000 than they countered with $125,000. Our Realtor said to them that was the most that we would spend on that house. So they thought about it for a couple of hour's and called our Realtor back and accepted the offer. It's about 1,000 square feet maybe a little more.

So we finally got an offer accepted. So maybe Monday I can start getting bids for the work that needs to be done.

So after I got done posting a whole bunch of cute pictures. I found that these pictures didn't get put on here. I think by the beginning of next year I want to a photo book. So the bottom picture is of Alyssa in August 2006, I thought it would be cool to post a picture of her to compare to see how similar they look. Well Owen definitely has more hair than she did. They like a lot a like.

So when you get to the middle of the corn maze there is a castle with a slide. But I wish the ladder wasn't less dangerous. So we were trying to get there picture next to the corn stalks Since Kalo was sitting on the grass they all went over there to sit next to her Kenize & Alyssa sitting on some pumpkin's We tried getting some pictures of Alyssa & Owen together in the pumpkin's. I was trying to get Owen to sit up against the pumpkin and Kimber was taking the pictures. Owen is pretty big so I didn't think Alyssa could really hold him while sitting on the pumpkin cause he's pretty big.

So I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to make it to the pumpkin patch. We haven't even actually carved pumpkin's, and Halloween's tomorrow. Alyssa & Siosi on top of the Hay Stack Alyssa, Eliana, & Siosi on top of the Hay Stack Getting ready to go on the hay ride Last year it was pretty filled up with pumpkin's, and this year it has been picked through quite a bit. Getting ready to go into the corn maze

Aleta brought some cookie dough over and the girls had fun rolling out the dough and using Halloween cookie cutters. If you look closely Kalo stuck her face down on the table and was trying to eat the flour and dough. Kimber with the girls

So last weekend was the Home Show at the Fairgrounds. I got some pictures of the booth. So if anyone need some concrete work the website link is on the side Kepu Construction.

So I got Owen some new pj's from Target cause he has been growing some. He is a big boy! His new pj's are 6 month.

So I haven't really updated in a while. I have taken like several pictures and have uploaded them. Now I have a little bit of time to sit and upload them, and do some updating. I didn't know our camera could do this but I had a little fun with one of the pictures of Owen. I love the onesie that he has on cause it says "I Love Mommy". He is definitely a momma's boy, he notice's when I am gone. Owen blowing bubbles!

So Saturday we went to the Harvest thing at Gilbert House. Alyssa got her face painted. A pink nose and whiskers. They had a whole bunch of activities. I got pictures of Alyssa coloring a leaf. I forgot to get Alyssa's leaf. Here's Alyssa in the BIG chair that they have there. I didn't get any pictures of Owen because the only pictures that I would get his of him just sleeping.

So we went to the Gilbert house for wiggle time. They handed out crazy hats for the song they were doing and this is the hat that Alyssa was wearing. She had a lot of fun. The picture didn't turn out to clear. So the girls were swinging and I got a couple pictures of Alyssa. And this is what Owen did most of.
