The Strasser's

Manic Monday Random...Random...Random... This week my mind is still recovering from the holiday season, so the theme is Random! I am randomly going to pick three numbers...you chose which number you want to go where and then post the picture! Easy enough right? Sweet, let's get started: 35, 19, 6 My Randomly selected order is: First Folder: 19 Second Folder: 6 Posted Picture: 35 This is a picture taken at the state fair of the ducks racing.

Owen has his first tooth.

Power came back on this afternoon! yay!

So the power went out Sunday afternoon. There was a couple of blue flashes last night of tree branches falling on the power lines. So hopefully the power will come on soon. I came over to my grandma's house to get a shower in. A branch did go through the roof of the shed.

So I didn't do Christmas cards this year, or letter's to family and friends. I am working on something that I will be posting hopefully by Monday. Of something of that effect.

So the other day Alyssa went outside to play in the snow with Kimber and her cousins. And I took some picture's of them playing in the snow from upstairs. Siosi, Alyssa, Eliana on trampoline Alyssa and the girls were trying to throw snowball's at Kimber

So Owen finally had his 4 appointment yesterday, we waited until we switched insurance. So while at the doctor I was getting him ready for him to be weighed he had a blow out so that took some time to clean up before he was weighed. The doctor found out that he has an ear infection, his first. So Owen loves to eat, he rolls over lots, he is starting to like peek a boo, he loves to make noise alot, he loves to grab his feet, and he is a very easy going baby. He is in basically 12 month clothes, and in size 3 diaper's. Here is Owens Stat's: Height: 2' 4" (98%) Weight: 19lb 9 oz (96%) Head: 17.24" (74%) At his 2 month appointment: Head: 40 3/4 cm 70% Height: 24 3/4 in 96% Weight: 15lbs 6.5 oz 99%

Ok so we have had a little fun this morning. So I was getting ready to stick Owen on the couch and prop him and I looked a way for a second and all of a sudden Owen was sliding off the couch. He went head first off the couch. I started getting him calmed down and all of a sudden he threw up on my shoulder, as I was pulling him away from me to look at the damage I got the whole front of me covered. Than I was trying to look him over to see if he was all right. I called my mom to ask her a question and I told her what happened. Than she told me to get Owen ready and she would be over to get Owen and me and take us to the doctor's. She thought that maybe he could have a concussion. Well I guess quite a few of the doctor's offices were closed because of the snow, and I was trying to find the number for the doctor’s office. So while she was on her way she called 911 and she was talking to them when she got here. So than they came and they looked him over, and he didn’t have a concu...

So it snowed Sunday night!

So we haven't signed papers for the house yet. I am hoping soon! I did some changes to the blog. If you don't see the link to your blog on here please let me know so I can add it. Owen has his 4 month appointment next week. I will post results after wards.

The first folder to select will be #17. This is how many letters there are in happy thanksgiving. The sub folder selection will be the total letters in the STATE where you celebrated thanksgiving....we were in Oregon, so my sub folder is 6 The picture to post will be the number of people who ate with you during your thanksgiving dinner TIMES 3......at my thanksgiving feast we had 22 people eating at the table, so my number is . First Folder= 17 Added number= 6(Oregon) Picture= 66 Owen at the hospital

Scribble It GIVEAWAY!!!! So I ran across on a friend's blog and I think they are really cool.

Ok so you all are wondering what we have been up to and how we are doing. So let's start with catch up on how we are doing. First of all we should be closing hopefully really soon on the house. Secondly, I am going to schedule Owens 4 month appointment cause we just got new insurance so I need to find him a new pediatrician & Alyssa also, so I will post how it went at his appointment. Here is Alyssa and Owen before everyone came to visit. To start off, we have the inspection done, the appraisal done, and now we are waiting for the paper's to close on the house. Thanksgiving was an interesting time this year. Bryan, Heather, Ashlynn, Kylie and Peyton came all the way from Wyoming for Thanksgiving. Than Justin, Cami (Justin's Girlfriend), Shawn, Matthew & Ephraim (Strasser cousins) came from Rexburg. So there was a total of about 16 people in this house. Than maybe a day into everyone visiting. everyone in the house started getting the stomach flu. I am very glad tha...

So I have been meaning to put my review of Twilight on here. I have been getting a lot of people asking me what I thought of the movie. Well.... Makeup was a little over done on some of them. The movie's are never as good as the book, which is a bummer. I wish they wouldn't have jumped around so much in the movie. It's a pretty good love story. I wish they stayed a little more to the book. But overall the movie was really good I can't wait until the second movie comes out.

First folder is the number of letters in your first name.....7 Sub-folder is the number of letters in your middle name....0 Posted pictures if the number of letters in your last name....8 (As always, if you do not have a sub-folder add the second and third numbers together and choose your photo that way) This is the Logan Temple as we were driving past it.
