The Strasser's

Well i haven't updated much. There hasn't been much going on. We went to a funeral not to long ago. The Iris festival parade is tomorrow. Than Vanessa and her family are coming all the way from Wyoming. My mom is getting married next month. I hope to take pictures and update more now that summer is coming. Last night I went to the craft store and got some fabric to make a bag. I will post pictures when I am done. Owen is crawling around now. He is working on his 7th tooth. I think he might have another ear infection, I am hoping he doesn't though.

This is what was given out at the funeral.

Andy left a huge hole in the hearts of all those who loved him, especially his mom, Charlene. Andy and his mom were very close. Larry recalls on many occasions when Andy had misbehaved that Charlene would get between Larry and Andy, because she didn’t want her sweet little Andy to get ...

I know the last entry is empty. I have the entry saved on my laptop and I need to add it today. I am in the process of spring cleaning so I hope to get that soon. I will also update more hopefully later when the kids are napping. Hope all the mom's had a Happy Mother's Day!

Well everything is going pretty good. We got here at around 12:00 a.m. and than went to bed at 2:00. Tomorrow is when everything is going on. Still a numbing experience. It is very weird not to have him around. He was always fun to be around. We all are missing him.

This morning I found out that my uncle passed away. I feel completely numb! The tears come and go.

I have done lots of posts in the last several day with pictures. I have been way behind on posting new pictures. And now I am fully caught up. So enjoy!

So the morning of Alyssa's birthday, which was Sunday. The kids needed a bath so it was their first time having a bath together.

So we invested in a small swim pool at Walmart and there was a nice pretty warm day, But the water wasn't that warm. But they had fun.

So Owen had his 9 month appointment today. He is a loveable little boy. He is starting to get in the hands and knees for crawling. He loves to eat, but you couldn't tell that could you. He is in 18-24month old clothes. He is starting to clap his hands. He like's to pick on his sister sometimes, especially in the stroller he likes to get her hair. He is definitely a momma's boy. Stats at 9 month: Height: 2' 5.5" (0.749 m) (87%) 6 month: 2' 5" (0.737 m) (99%) 4 month:2' 4" (0.711 m) (98%) Weight: 24 lb (10.886 kg) (92%) 6 month: 20 lb 13 oz (9.44 kg) (92%) 4 month:19 lb 9 oz (8.873 kg) (96%) Head: 18.31" (83%) 6 month: 17.52" (69%) 4 month:17.24" (74%)

Sunday was Alyssa's birthday. I decorated the house with a princess theme. Alyssa had purple and pink balloons. Alyssa was waiting for her birthday for a long time. She was so excited! We asked her what she wanted for breakfast and she wanted her cake. Blowing out the candles Unwrapping presents The girls eating pizza Some of the guests

Well it has been a while since Easter. And here are the pictures that I took. Owen got an egg and a stuffed frog for easter. Alyssa dying easter eggs. We used food coloring so Alyssa got stripped down because I didn't want her clothes stained. Alyssa trying to finding eggs Alyssa modeling her glasses that she got in her basket.

Well I guess the blog doesn't look much different. I was supposed to go to a relief society thing tonight, but Cory had some work stuff to do, so I am not going. So here I am working on the blog and getting ready to post some pictures. Some of them are really late on being posted. I just have been busy. Owen has his 9 month appointment tomorrow. I can't believe he is already 9 months.

Under Construction I know this happens alot. But I decided I wanted to clean it up some and redo some things.

So I have this goal which I have never been good at. I was sick over conference weekend and it was really hard to hear the talks. I am now taking the time to just print the talks off and read them. Not all of them at once.

So I was working out in the garage. Cory was on his way to go pick up a window and Alyssa woke up from her nap. She was screaming at him because she wanted to go. I went in to check on her because it was quiet I figured something was going on in there that I should find out about. I was right. Alyssa was poopie and this happened. And it's a good thing they are washable!

So I am done with my meds. I am almost over my cold. I am excited for the nice weather, because that means I won't have to go to the doctor as often. Sunday is Alyssa's 3rd birthday. It's so weird that she will be 3. I need to start the baby books, I am way behind. It's suppose to be nice this weekend I plan on hopefully getting the trim painted and get stuff listed. Owen is starting to scoot around more. He is working on two more teeth, so he will have 6 teeth.

Rana said... So actually it doesn't sound like you are doing all that great right now. Do you get a lot of ear infections? Were your ears hurting? Is that how you knew. I wonder why the doctor asked about Cory and baby girl? Did he think it was contagious?? Owen seems to have had constant ear infections.....is he allergic to milk or anything? Poor baby! I hope you all get feeling better very soon. You're on my prayer list!! My Answer.... I have not had ear infections since I was little. But I guess every time I would get a tooth my mom would also get an ear infection. Saturday night it was really painful. It felt like I had a lot of water in my ears. I could hardly hear. I was actually wondering if the doctor was going to talk about putting tubes in his ears. But he didn't mention anything about it. Cory was actually complaining about his ears a little bit. But Alyssa had a fever on Friday and I was wondering if she did have an ear infection. Which I was right. ...

So to start off I scheduled an appointment for Owen and I yesterday. Owens appointment was at 3:30, mine 4:15. The doctor looked at Owens ear and his right ear is worse than his left. I had mentioned that I had a appointment scheduled right after his with my doctor. He looked at my ear and said well you have a smoldering ear infection each ear. So two down, two more to go. The doctor said "well it would be nice to see if your husband and your daughter have it to". Cory was called up and he woke Alyssa up and they both came over and Cory just has stuffy ears and Alyssa has an ear infection also. So: $75.00-Copay's around $100.00 for med's. With our other insurance much more! So that is how we are doing right now.
