The Strasser's

I came across a giveaway and has lots of good stuff in it. http://circlecliffviews.blogspot.com/2009/11/big-give-way-ladiescome-see.html

This morning while we were getting ready for church. Cory was in the shower, and Owen came into the bathroom and decided to climb in the shower with Cory, but he went head first into the shower. I was out on the garage printing something off, and Alyssa came running out to the garage and said that Owen was hurt and bleeding. We ended up calling the doctor and the nurse said that the urgent care was full so they sent us down to the one near the hospital and the nurse said that if it were here kid she would just put some peroxide on it and it should heal. So we did the peroxide but the cut kept oozing, we have tried something on it but he keeps trying to take it off. In length it's probably a little over a half inch and it's open and a little deep, and he has a bump and bruise. So hopefully it looks good tomorrow and isn't oozing or I am going to schedule an appointment. I am hoping no big scars.

Yesterday afternoon we went to the pumpkin patch. It pretty muddy! Owen fell in the mud Alyssa and Owen on the hay

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.

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 ...
