The Strasser's

Alyssa turned 7 on Friday. We didn't celebrate her birthday until Saturday. Cory had a scout campout. It was hard for her to wait. But she did very good waiting. I let her open Owen's present that he got her, a gumball machine. with two bags of gumballs. She had been asking for one for a couple of months and we found it at the dollar tree.     Here are the cupcakes she took to school to share in her class. no I didn't decorate the cupcakes, they came from fred meyer.   The butterflies I found from the dollar tree, and hung them with fishing line. Here is the cake, I actually did a cake before this one and it didn't work out.     I am really excited how the cupcakes turned out, the butterflies are edible.       She got a sleeping bag from grandpa and grandma strasser . She got some girlie legos from us She got a porcelin doll from some friends and a necklace.   ...

Well Evan is getting glasses. I am hoping this well help him with walking and more of his motor skills. He is farsighted and has astigmatism. His glasses will be here in about 2 weeks. I will post pictures of him when he gets them. He actually looks pretty cute in the one's I choose.

I think the title is used a lot for posts. But for a little update for us. Alyssa is going to be 7 next Friday. I can't believe she is going to be that old, and than next year is her baptism. She is doing very well in school. She is excited for 2nd grade. Owen he starts school in the fall and is very excited. He is a handful at times and is very loving. Evan did a very exciting thing last week. He stood up in the middle of the floor all by himself, he did that twice. It was very exciting!!! He goes up and down the stairs all by his self. Hoping he is walking by his third birthday. He now gets very excited when Cory comes home. Emma is rolling over from her back to her tummy and than from her tummy to her back. She is a very happy girl. Cory he is loving teaching he has been working lots. I think next year is going to be better. For me.....well I have been trying to lose weight.I have a goal of when I want most of the weight off, I am hoping to reach that goal.  Haven...

We came back from our visit with family and doing some work for our business. And there a couple of really nice days, and we made it to the beach with our neighbors.     Evan playing the container we keep the sand toys in.  

My grandma's memory is not so great lately, Cory and I took the time along with Emma to go see her while that kids were playing with cousin's. She loved holding Emma.

  While visiting family on spring break we were able to make a trip to the zoo. The kids had lot's of fun. It was very packed!           Sefa checking out the monkey.     Alyssa and Emma on the hippo   Alyssa pretending to be an elephant Here's the new baby elephant at the zoo   baby and mom Owen's cousin and owen hanging out in the stroller.   Alyssa and her cousins in front of the giraffe's Pink Flamingos
