The Strasser's

Tonight was our ward's trunk or treat. Here's a couple of picture's that I took Alyssa hitting the pinata Dj, Owen

We finally got the door's put on the fireplace, well I guess expect of finishing on the edge stuff. So here are the door's. Cory picked them out, he did pretty good.

Well yesterday Cory and Joe were working on the fireplace and Owen found Joe's goggles and he was trying to put them on. So after a few tries of trying to get them on I got a picture, and now he says's cheese sometimes when I try taking his picture. I know some of the pictures are basically the same thing but I love taking pictures of the kids.

Well it has been a long time coming, we have finally stopped using pull-ups with Alyssa, one factor is it cost's more money especially with having two kids in diapers/pull-up's. I gave up buying them after they were all gone. So Monday night was her last night and last nap in a pull up. Tuesday she woke up dry, Wednesday a very little wet, and last night she was dry. I am very excited about it because of the cost cut.

Well just update a hair, Owen has learned a new word, no but it come's out as na. This morning he came in the kitchen while I was making pancakes, he was roaring at me. Alyssa is excited for Halloween tomorrow, she has been asking to go to Halloween, i have been explaining to hear that we don't go to Halloween it come's to us.

Well I have been doing better about posting on here. There really hasn't been much of a whole lot going on. Cory has class Monday night's and every other Saturday. I had a cold, well I guess it was more of the flu, not the swine flu. Cory ended up with it and he is basically over it, I still have a little bit of congestion, and that is basically what I still have of it. I am thinking Owen is starting to get an ear infection. Alyssa wasn't really effected by the bug, and thinking about it Owen wasn't really either. I think this winter if Owen has lot's of ear infections that they will end up doing the tubes. Alyssa is learning her letter's now, we are working on writing now. But it is going pretty good. Owen says: bye bye, dad, mom, and has started saying Alyssa (somewhat), hi, cheese, he wave's when he says bye bye, he love's blowing kisses, Well that is basically what we have been up to lately, Halloween pictures of the kids in their costumes will be ...

So tonight was our family home evening since Cory has class on Monday's. We have finally got around to doing the pumpkin's. Here's some pictures that I was able to take.

I believe it was last Saturday we canned 27 quarts of grape juice, and we only have one plant. It is really good! Here's just some of the the quarts and grapes.

The blog has been denied for sometime now, let's see here, the last it was updated was September 10th. Sure has been a while. I do I have stuff to post. So here is goes, to start off last month we went to the coast, I had been wanting to go for sometime. We went to Lincoln City and played on the beach. We went on the perfect day, it's was pretty hot in Salem. At the coast the beach wasn't windy, it was like I said the perfect day. Perfect enough that the water was warm enough. We played on the beach, Owen loved playing in the sand, BUT more importantly he loved having his hands held and walking to the water, when the water would come up. He loved when the water would come at us. Alyssa wasn't to fond of it! She liked building sand castles, which our sand castles didn't last long because of the tide coming in. But she did have fun. We decided to drive to Depot Bay, and we got there in time and the water was hitting the rocks and was spraying on the sidewalk. We were ...

I can't believe summer is basically over with. Time sure has flew! I am excited to get the Halloween Decorations down. I love decorating for Halloween and Christmas. Still no walking from Owen! Working on Alyssa writing letter's Nothing new has been going on. I have been trying to think of what to dress Owen up for Halloween. Well that's all we have been up to.

Yesterday later in the day we went to the state fair. I took a few pictures while we were there. Alyssa got her face painted So when we got to the fair we told Alyssa that she could go on one ride and she wanted to go on the Ferris Wheel, but she didn't meet the height requirement, she was pretty upset. We found this ride and she liked it. Alyssa milking a fake cow Petting Zoo-Owen loved petting the goats
