The Strasser's

Well I am a full 23 weeks pregnant.  I haven't gained a whole lot of weight this pregnancy. Which is good than I don't have a whole lot to lose at the end. But I still am going to lose some after this. We are very excited for August to come. I am excited to find out what we are actually having. Cory actually felt the baby move some today. Cory has been pretty busy with school and working. Alyssa turned 4 on the 19th of April. She know's all of letter's, i know that has been mentioned before. I am going to start having her read. She has been very interested. She is learning to write people's name's. She basically know's her name and has been working on Cory's and Owen's, my is a little bit longer to learn right now. Owen is learning more word's. We have been a little worried about his hearing, we have been contemplating  with the idea of taking him and getting it tested. He is understanding more now which is helping.

It has finally been done. I have posted pictures that I have had for sometime.  I am hoping to update more later.

Owen was riding a ride on toy and fell off and here is the end result. Poor little guy!

For Alyssa's 4th birthday we celebrated it a day early. We had family and friends over and had pizza, cake and ice cream. She had been wanting a Hannah Montana birthday for a while and was set on having it Hannah Montana. After coming home the day before from a book sale. I stayed up late making three cakes so they would be actually cool the next day to cut out and frost. I attempted a guitar cake for the theme. That cake was a lot of work and I hope the theme for her birthday next year the cake will be a little easier. I wasn't to proud of it, because the frosting didn't work to well and the handle kept moving around, but Alyssa loved it and that's all that mattered. Alyssa got Fancy Nancy Shoes from Grandma Cindy She also got a princess scooter from Grandpa Mike and Grandma Shar Almost everyone sitting around after present's were opened.' Some of the girls (Alyssa, Siosi, Kalo, & Arianna) She had been wanting a Hannah Montana shirt for a  long time...

Well just to let everyone know I do have things to post I just really haven't had time. I promise to post sometime probably at the beginning of next week because Alyssa will be having birthday stuff going on this weekend. I can't believe she is going to be 4 this coming week! I have lots to post so when I post I will have lots of entries. Well it's time to go get ready for Swim Lessons.

Well today was the day to find out but the baby liked the position it was in, so there is a probably a boy result. So he wasn't to sure because of the position of the baby.  So what we are going to do is take a girl and boy outfit to the hospital and have a girl and boy name picked out. I was actually toying with the idea of not finding out. I guess we will be surprised of not getting a full answer to the finding.
