The Strasser's

ummm.... the blogging hasn't been done because I haven't caught up on the things that need to be done a little more. I have been trying to keep up with a whole bunch of things. Hopefully they will get done tomorrow! Until than no lengthy posts to read.

I got Alyssa ready for a nap, read her a couple of stories. Than I went into the hall and told her to come here I have your pull up for you. She came running in and tripped over my foot and biffed it and bit her lip. She has had somewhat of a big lip. I took some pictures while she was taking a nap. I know it's a little creepy, she sleeps with her eyes a little open. It's just a little bit deep. I ended up calling the doctor to see if stitches were needed and they said normally not on the lip so that is good. So no doctor trips today.

The kids were having fun this morning playing together with Mr. Potato Head. Alyssa is enjoying playing with Owen more now he is getting around.

For the 4th we went over to my mom's and had lunch. Afterwards we headed over to Cory's parent's house and ate dinner and did firework's, along with swimming in the pool. Which was really nice because it was really HOT. Alyssa didn't like the noisy one's and Owen wasn't so sure. There was one firework that started out and they it made noise tipped over on it's side. It started going at us. Cory and the kids Cory, Alyssa, Joe, and Siosi in the back Look at Alyssa's reaction to a firework Kalo walked up and said "cheese" while I was trying to take a picture of Alyssa Siosi & Alyssa Owen watching the firework's Owen and I

In Keizer they put in a park. In the park is a kid friendly water play area. We went there for playgroup and I happened to have my camera with me so I got a couple of pictures. Owen really loves water Alyssa and Eliana playing the water

It has been a little while since these pictures were taken. So when Cory's grandpa was visiting we went camping. It was a lot of fun. Here is a couple of pictures that I took of the kids. Alyssa with food on her face Here is Owen playing on the ground

Well we are still pretty busy. Nothing much has gone on. Cory is looking for a job. I am keeping busy with the kids. I will be 25 in July. Alyssa is working on writing her letters, she knows all of her letter's now. We are working on the number's. Owen is pulling himself up lots, and has let go a couple of times and stood there for a little bit than sit down. I can't believe Owen will be a year old in 20 days.

I have been pretty busy helping my mom & rick moving in, and than I went over today and helped my grandma cut the hedge. We haven't done a whole lot of things. I wish I had more time to read. This last week Cory's grandpa came from California and we went camping over night. I hope that we can go camping more this summer. Owen liked crawling on the ground. We found a tent at the goodwill outlet store for $5.00 it is a 6 person tent and we finally tried it out. Other than that Cory has been working, Owen is pulling himself up more, Alyssa is still a loveable girl, and I am busy trying to keep up the house that take care of the family.

So part 2 of the wedding. I didn't have much time to add to the other entry. I have a couple more pictures to post. Here is the pedicure that I got on my toes. I also ended up with a couple of blister's on my toes from my new shoes. And here is my bouquet that I got.

Well this morning I fixed Cory breakfast. I fixed him french toast with corn flakes and it was really good, also hash brown's and sausage, along with orange juice. I got him a new white shirt which he wore to the wedding. They I got him the movie transformer's and the book Glenn Beck's Common Sense. I also made Washington Nut Bars which are really addicting. We took them to his parents house and shared them.

Well yesterday was an exhausting day. My mom got married at the stake center. I was the matron of honor. I ended up with the camera card of wedding pictures. So I decided to post a few pictures of the wedding since I wasn't able to take a whole lot of pictures. The top layer was vanilla, the middle lemon and the bottom was chocolate. Well I think that is how it went but those were the flavor's. The seashells on the cake are chocolate. Here is my mom and grandma, or as alyssa calls her great-mama Here's the happy couple! My grandma made the skirt, it's an ivory color. Rick is a ducks fan so there was a few saying's on the driver's side, "I just married a beaver" Alyssa wasn't really in the mood to take pictures

Well here the pictures. I had a little bit of time so I decided to post them real quick.

So yesterday we got our pictures taken. It was stressful some making sure the kids smiled lots or they didn't get messy. We went to Sears. But I hope to post them soon. We bought a CD, so we have the rights to get them printed anywhere we want to or post them online. They are very cute!

My busy week: Tomorrow: family pictures, storytime. Thursday: Help my mom move, playgroup. Friday: Getting my nails done. Saturday: my mom is getting married. Sunday: Father's Day And somewhere in all this mess have the bumper fixed on the car.

So Friday was our anniversary. We got a girl in the ward to watch Alyssa and Owen. We went to Olive Garden and miniature golfing. Other times before we have tried going to Olive Garden, But there has always been a major wait. It was nice to go out. We hardly go on dates. Hopefully we can get out more.

Well to start off we went to story time than came home for lunch enough time for a 40 minute nap a least, not true. Alyssa didn't even sleep and Owen slept on and off. Than we went to the doctor. Alyssa had her 3 year appointment. For her weight she is in the 48 percentile, height 3 percentile. Plus she had her shots, she screamed so loud. I felt so bad. Than after that I came home and took Cory's car to the car wash and vacuumed out his car. It was so disgusting. He left a bag from Carl's Jr in his car when he was out and about and after a while we couldn't figure it out but than he was taking out some trash and it was that bag. BUT in the bag were, magits. So I was such a nice wife and went and vacuumed up the dry one's, ya I almost threw up, I did wear gloves because they were all over the floor in the back. Plus I shampooed his car!

So while Vanessa was here we went to Silver Falls. I don't look good in this picture. But I never get in pictures.

Well I have lack of energy lately. Not sure why. But hopefully will get over it soon. So this morning I was in the shower and Owen was asleep on my bed. I heard Alyssa and Owen and they woke up while I was in there and she got on the bed with him and they were playing. When I came out Owen was on his stomach and Alyssa was standing on his back. Owen has the desire to stand up now. He has I think 8 teeth in but I could be wrong. He crawls pretty good. I think he would do better if the floor wasn't hardwood. I can't believe he will be a year old next month. Alyssa is three. She knows a whole bunch of letters and we are working on the rest of the alphabet and number's now. She has her 3 year check up on Wednesday. She loves to ride her bike. She loves to pick out her underwear in the morning, and clothes sometimes. Alyssa is liking to play with Owen more. There is really nothing new with Cory and I. We have our 5 year anniversary on Friday. We are actually going to hopefully g...

I am reading another book Hunger Games. I am not done with it. I am only about 180 pages into it. But so far it is worth recommending.
