The Strasser's

Well I haven't actually mentioned this before but Evan has been a full time nurser now for a few weeks and has been going very well. I am glad that I am having to not mix bottles a whole lot unless he is being watched by Cory or someone else. I was actually at  the very beginning of he was actually going to be nursing or if he was just going to be bottle fed. I almost gave up on nursing him but now he is doing it. Now I have to return the pump back to the hospital. I have been renting a hospital grade one and it has been costing $45.00 a month.

I was trying to get a picture of him smiling because he has started smiling.  So here is a smile somewhat. 

yesterday it took like two hours for the kids to take their nap, here is the result. 

So we had nice weather today, and since Cory didn't have school we decided today would be the day to head to the pumpkin patch. 

Hi I just wanted to post this because it sounded fun to do. I found this on Chelsi's Blog ,  and here is the link to the source that she got it from. 10 funny habits + guilty pleasures... 1. I am a dancing addict. I love to swing dance with Cory. I would love to take some more dance classes with him.  2.I am Glee Geek! I know what you are all thinking.  3. I don't sing in front of people because I am self conscious. 4. I love chocolate covered strawberries. 5. One funny habit I had when I was growing up was putting my legs behind my head. I can't find a picture to post. I would always put my legs behind my head while watching TV. I also use to be able to put one leg behind my head and stand up and hop around one other leg. Now I am not as flexible.  6.  I also love reading books, the genre that I am really into is young adult. So any suggestions are recommended. 7.  I can touch my tongue to my nose. I use to be able to slide smarties onto my ...

Well since today has been pretty busy tomorrow I am going to try to continue try potty training Owen. He only had one accident on the floor but he did go in his pull up some. So starting tomorrow it will be underwear at home and pull-ups when we are not. I did go running this morning with my sister -in-law. I am hoping I am a little better on the running tomorrow. I do want to run but just the thought of running doesn't sound so great. I think I ran close to 2 miles today. That is a lot for me I haven't done a whole lot of exercise  for a long time. I have tried it since having my c-section but I did not feel good after working out. Evan did have an appointment for physical therapy and he will probably have to have a helmet. So the pediatrician and I are going to talk about the physical therapist was talking to me about tomorrow and see what it thinks should be done for Evan. Alyssa is going to start working on workbooks more. She is a very helpful little girl. Cory has bee...

Well It has come down to it, I am starting the potty training. I know with being busy it doesn't sound like a great idea. Well his diapers are really expensive and I just getting plain tired of changing his sticky diapers. So far today has been going pretty good, giving him lots of water and he sat on his chair for a while and he went a little bit, but than Alyssa thought he should be checked and he actually could have went more in there so he went on the floor in the bathroom, but it's a good thing I still had the piece to the potty chair in my hand and I caught most of it. I have a jar with some candy in it as a reward to him. I forgot how hard potty training can be at the very beginning. So I guess I will see how the rest of the day is going to be :)

 So here they are. Enjoy!

So Saturday we celebrated my mom's 50th birthday, since her birthday is during the week. The Birthday Girl with her grandkids minus Evan Owen found Ralphie's leash very entertaining. Oh what a very YUMMY cake! Got grandma at surprise!

 So we decided we needed to do something fun, so we headed to the coast. We had found a spot on the  beach, and we thought we had a enough clearance between us and the ocean. Until the water came at us  in the whole process Alyssa lost a shoe, and she wouldn't even go to the water after that so Cory and Owen were the one's loving the water.
