The Strasser's

Wood n Stitches is having a Giveaway, and she makes some really cute decor.

Cory enjoying his steak dinner Cory blew out the candles. Owen was mad, he actually earlier put the mickey that was on his cake on this one. I think he thought it was his birthday, because I kept up the birthday sign from his birthday. We relight the candles so he could blow them out. We light Owen's birthday candles several times because he loved blowing them out. 

We stopped at the fish hatchery so the kids could get a break of being in the car and see some fish. Lots of baby fish The kids loved watching the fish jump into the water

Here is Grandpa Brent, My dad. Evan's middle name is Brent. This was taken right after we pulled into the driveway. My dad was so excited to meet little Evan. 

Well it had been like 2 1/2 years since I had been to Utah. I was missing my dad, and I still do. Even though I kind of getting tired of hearing repeats of everything. But I love him and that is how he is. If some of you don't know my dad has brain damage, motorcycle accident he wasn't wearing a helmet. So we were looking at our plans for the rest of the year and this was about the only time that would really work for us. So we did it! We left for Utah. We stayed for like 4 days and it was really relaxing to get away for a little bit and see family. The kids had a lot of fun and so did we. They did very well riding in the car.  And everyone finally got to meet Evan. 

So when we were leaving we stopped at Multnomah Falls . The kids had fun seeing the water fall.  Parking Lot view

We took a trip to Florence for a little break from everything basically. The kids loved staying in a hotel, it's a treat to us to stay in a hotel/motel, whatever you call it. We were glad that there was nice weather. There was a little bit of wind. Some sand dunes that we found Look at that beautiful view

As promised I do have stuff to blog about but I probably won't get to because I have some cleaning, laundry, and having Cory's birthday to celebrate. But I can tell you that we went on a trip to Utah. 

Lots of fun filled days ahead. I am so excited now to finish what I need to get done so that happens. But I will blog after all is said and done. With lots of pictures to post.

So I realized that I did not blog about Evan's 1 year appointment. Height: 2' 4.25" (0.718 m) (4.84%) Weight:   17 lb 13.5 oz (8.094 kg) (0.70%) Head: 18.11" (46 cm) (32.45%)

This was fun to make!  I posted both of these pictures because I love his face expressions in them. 

So we went to Enchanted Forest and I forgot to charge the battery fully, but I did get some pictures.
