The Strasser's

Well the last couple of weeks have been a little crazy. On the 19th of June, my dad passed away. It has been difficult for me. Here are some pictures of what his room looked like before I took down what I wanted to keep.  He had pictures of the kids, Cory and I all over his walls.  He would use a stencil for the letters and a ruler for the straight lines. 

Here is Cory in his new kayak, he went out for his first time today, and caught a sea bass.

Well tomorrow is Evan's birthday. I can't believe he is going to be 3 already.     Right after recovery in the NICU   Cory's Ring                

It has been kind of crazy at our house. We are excited school is almost over with. We have almost been here a full year. I have been working on a list of goals that I really want to accomplish. Hoping to get that done before school is out. I have been trying to workout as much as possible. Sometimes I workout when the kids are awake, and Evan crawls all over me when I am doing sit ups. I am trying to get up earlier before he does. I do have more to update about Evan. I am waiting a phone call from his OT so she can talk to us about his sensory evaluation. Next school year Cory is going to be teaching another class besides math. Alyssa has another tooth that is loose. Emma is rolling all over the place, and loves the crinkly stuff just like her brother. Owen and I have been working on the alphabet and number's more to make sure he's got it done before school starts in the fall. Well I guess that's for now, time to get Alyssa from school.

Here are some pictures from yesterday. Owen wouldn't let me get his picture. Waiting for the parade.  Here's a Alyssa fishing They had huge tubs in the parking lot and there were a lot of alive fish in them and you could keep them.  Smokey the Bear The kids loved seeing this cars Slug Races Yes they race slugs I thought it was a little odd. So what they do is tilt the bags upright and the kids dropped the slugs in the bag and the person's slug that came out of the bag the fastest won an ice cream cone from Slugs 'n' Stones They even had slugs to rent.
