The Strasser's

Well we left for vacation and I didn't get a chance to post anything. But I do have stuff to post about now. I think if our calculations are correct we have in the car for I believe 5 days, stayed in hotels for 5 days, and stayed with family for 4 days. It has been a long vacation. I am EXHAUSTED and  we need to get a car unpacked and get the car cleaned out and I have some stuff around here to get done that I didn't get done before we left. But I will have everything  done hopefully by tomorrow night. So than hopefully Saturday or Sunday I will get more posts done.

Well I have been lacking on the posting. But I will definitely post this weekend. So far this week has been interesting, and we have had to call poison control because of evan and he is doing good ( I will write more about that also), and I have been making treat plates. But I do have some pictures. But I just wanted to let everyone know that reads that we just have been busy and we were doing pretty good.

 I know lots of the same pose but she is just to funny with the wide eyes.

Well I don't really post things like this but, I went to Weight Watchers last night and I weighed in. Since I have started it and I started it right before Halloween, I have lost a total of 5 lbs so far. I haven't been working out like I have wanted. But I am pretty surprised with what I have done so far because of the Holiday season.  

yep I have been lacking very much on the blog. I didn't finish up my thankful day's up to thanksgiving. I hope to catch up this week on the blog. And hoping to get the house decorated.

#17- I am thankful for yes toliet paper, I know an odd to be thankful for.  

#15-  I am thankful for our wonderful neighbors. #16- I am thankful for that we live in a beautiful area.  

Emma is 2 months old. She has been smiling for a little while now. She has started making cooing noises, and loves to be held. She get's up a couple times a night.  She had her 2 month appointment this morning and she is weighing 9 lbs 7oz. which is in the 20th percentile.

Well I have lost some weight. I have been trying to workout lately. I did work out once last week, 30 day shred. I am hoping to get some time in today to workout. I wasn't able to make it in to my weigh in last week, because it was parent-teacher conferences, and I didn't feel like taking 4 kids to weight watchers with me. So this week I will be going to my weigh in.  

13- I am thankful to be a stay at home mom. 14- I am thankful for chocolate, even though I am trying to lose weight.

So we had heard about this bombing. Since we had a free day we decided to do the hike and see the bombsite.  We have not been to see the sword that was donated to the library yet.     Here is a link about the bombsite: http://www.enjoyportorford.com/japanesebomb.html     The signs were very interesting to read. Might be kind of hard to read in the pictures. I tried to take clear pictures of them. The pictures do get bigger if you click on them.            The kids and I standing by the big redwood tree found on the hike.         Cory and the kids by the redwood tree                             This is where the bomb hit   

  We went on a hike at Whaleshead    Cory and I on the hike       Banana Slug   Looking at tide pools.   At a doctor's appointment Evan really loves the swing at the park Caught a smile on the phone, finally         Some random pics of Emma   Alyssa getting her glasses   The neighbor next to us made these for us. Cookie sheets with chalkboard paint on them. There is a story about Owen's picture (top one), This is what he said "It's your tummy, that's where emma gets the milk.   Owen posing for the camera, look at his fashion style   cross eyed emma   Emma at a doctors appointment   bright eyes         Alyssa and Owen resting for a little bit on the hike.     On Friday we went to the beach and the water was really rough.  ...
