The Strasser's

Well today my day consisted of cleaning up the house and getting dinner in the refrigerator, making sugar cookie dough and some frosting. I was thinking decorating cookies sounded fun.  So here is what my afternoon/evening/night  consisted of. One little boy who didn't nap.... a little girl who did.... And a another little boy who joined his sister ..... And the older two watched  this  That's right it's the chipmunks..... Here is dinner, I know the picture is not the greatest and doesn't make the food look all that great, but it was really good. It's called Dr. Pepper Chicken. My aunt usually makes it with coke a cola, but I didn't have that so I used Dr. Pepper, still good though. Here's the sugar cookies  Here they are decorating....  Alyssa's cookie Eli with her cookie Kenzie with her cookie  Here's Alyssa with her cookie Cory's Cookie Mine, It's a black cat and it's hard to tell from the picture.  I can't rem...

Well I am still here I just have been rather busy, I know it's been a week since I last posted. I do have pictures to post and updates and just random stuff to talk about that has been going on. But I will try posting on Monday. We only had one doctor's appointment this week, which was his weight check and next week he has a urology appointment, and I think that might be his only one. Last week was nice because there were no appointments. Sunday Evan was blessed, I was going to get pictures but it was a little busy. So I will try to get some pictures of him in the blessing outfit this week and post those. So more blogging Monday!

Well last week Extreme Makeover Home Edition was in town. There were working on dorms for the boys at the deaf school. Someone I know was volunteering and we saw her while we were there. Owen wanted to wear her hard hat. So Cory took a picture of Owen and I. I know I am leaning to the side quite a lot because Owen kept kind of flipping the hat and hitting me in the head, didn't feel quite good. I was really wanting to volunteer but I couldn't because it wouldn't work with our schedules.  Nope we didn't see any of the people that are on the show. We were waiting for a little bit to see, I think Michael was there but he was working inside. Alyssa drew this today: Evan, Owen, & Alyssa 

Well I haven't been exercising like I have wanted to, It's time to get on track and do something. I think Monday morning I will try taking a run and see how that goes. This week has been pretty busy, mentioned in previous entries, doctor's appointment's galore. I have been trying to go through the house and go through stuff and get rid of stuff. And doing some reorganizing. So nothing really new for now. We will be blessing Evan pretty quick, so we will see how the outfit Owen wore for his blessing will work for Evan. I will let those that live close know when and where if you would like to come for that. That's all for now!

No ear infections which I am really glad. Owen got appointment scheduled for the audiology for his hearing to be checked.  Nothing really new. Going to try going to see Extreme Makeover Home Edition At the Deaf School , Which is in town right now. I will try to maybe get some pictures.

Well this week has been rather busy. Monday it was our fair day. Tuesday I took grandma to the dentist, downtown to buy some shoes. Along with Evan's weight check, 7lbs 6oz. Yesterday consisted of yet another doctor's appointment. The appointment was for Physical therapy for Evan. Since alot of preemies can have problems with misshaped heads, and preemies can have some problems just from being born early also. But he really like's his right side. Evan's head on the right side is kind of flat, so they were giving suggestions of positions to stick him in to him it around out. Today Alyssa has been saying her ear's hurt, so we will be heading to the doctor to see what is wrong.

Well today Evan is 3 months old. He actually had a weight check. So at 3 months Evan weighs 7lbs 6oz. He almost weighs as much as Alyssa did when she was born. He is still in preemie diapers and wears some preemie clothes. But Technically he would be 2 weeks and 2 days.

So today I went and took grandma aka great-mama to the dentist. Afterwards we went by my house to bring Cory something, and Owen came running out to see great-mama. He climbed in the van and started pretending to drive and he got his antlers he loves camera's!

So we made it to the fair today. We had lots of fun, with lots of walking. We saw the animals, saw some shows, and got some ice-cream.  He loved seeing the animals, and along with the tractor's.  We let him actually get out of the stroller, he held onto Alyssa's hand. Alyssa wasn't to sure about the llamas Wearing the antler's. Here's the girls!

So I haven't been working out like I have been wanting to. I guess I am motivated but I am not. Like I really want to get some weight off, and I have been having this goal in mind that I want to lose some weight by thanksgiving. But than I have the thought of working out doesn't sound all that great to me. Not sure how to get past the whole it doesn't sound great thing. I would really love to get back to my weight before I was pregnant with Alyssa. Does anyone have suggestions of how to get past the whole I want to, but the thought of working out doesn't sound at all that great? Or to get me more motivated to exercise?

These pictures were taken at Sunrise down at the river, it was raining also.  I am not to fond of this one.  My Favorite
