Super Post

Thought it was time for an update since it has been so long. Here is what is new since the last time we posted:

• Max turned 2
• Chad became a soccer player
• We put in new laminate flooring on our first floor
• Our new nephew, Martin, was born about a week ago
  

In between all that we have just been working, hanging, and running after Max. I know it does not seem very exciting, but it keeps us very busy (hence the lack of blogging over the past couple of months).

Enjoy all the pictures. Hopefully we will start blogging more regularly again.

Max loved the tractors at the state fair...



and the corn




Hanging out in the Grove. Some things never change.
Dinner with Linds while she was in town.

Dinner at Gasthaus. Max's meal was huge, but he ate like a champ.

Henne's surprise birthday bowling party.

The boys having fun at the arcade.

Unfortunately, the next two pictures are the best "before" pictures we have




Take 1
Take 2
Take 3
Take 4, and not one picture of all of them looking at the same time.

Como Zoo
Our drummer. Chad's getting him ready for the band.

Luckily, we have an awesome hill next to our house. Max loves sliding down it.

Baby Martin, the new addition to the Strehlo family.

HI a tus

hello readers,

Do you remember us? Long time no blog. The Strehlo fam has been pretty busy the last couple weeks and I just haven't been in the blogging spirit. Luckily for you, I thought I would give it the old college try tonight. So what's new since we last talked? Let's see, the Pilots had our Tomten gig a few weeks back. In tomten tradition we got a steady drizzle all day. That didn't stop the rocking though. Unfortunately, our set was not so great, i'd say like 6/10 stars. We'll have to come back next year with a little more vigor and a new band name. I'll try to post some vids soon too.

Sam finished up her soccer season a little while ago, sounds like she is getting very Favre like on us. She said this was gonna be her last year but is now saying she'll be back next summer. I kinda got captivated by the world cup this year, enough that us boys might get a winter league going. Looking like a strong possibility. Not too much new with Max, he's getting bigger and crazier every day. We are just bracing ourselves for the terrible 2's coming next week. The big triathlon is next week as well. Just me and Jerry this year. Sara bowed out this year, some lame excuse like she's pregnant or something. I think that is about all we have. Should be another busy week this week. Sam has the "Wicked" play on Tuesday, family state fair trip on Wed. and the Twinks on Thursday. Plus the tri and a b day party Sat. If you are lucky you will get a post this weekend as well. Alright, on to the pics!





Me & the love log!

7-11

well devoted readers, we did it. Me and Sam completed year one of the marriage. Pretty good weekend. We got to see Ella and Caleb on Friday and Me and Sam celebrated on Saturday. Nothing too fancy, kept it pretty casual. Went over to Cafe Maude in Minneap. Pretty tasty, although it was one of those fancy places where they think the meat should be real pink. It actually tasted fine to me but Sam couldn't get past it. Don't have too many pics from the weekend, we just haven't been on our game. Next week should be plenty of pics, the big Tomten jam is going down next saturday. Should be great times.

Couldn't find any wedding pics so this will have to do.


Pool time.



Wrasslin Time!

Onto the link of the week. Wayne said he likes Hall & Oates, which he should cuz they are amazing. Here is a vid from one of the all time greats that no one else seems to like.




This one is too amazing not to post.



Sang this one about 5 times today, I think Sam was ready to call the whole thing off.

I am so mad at you right now.

Greeting readers! hope you all had a good 4th. Busy times at the Strehlo house. The Larson crew welcomed in Carson David this past week, almost a 10 pounder. Maggie went in to get induced and they ended up with a C section. Baby and mom are doing great. We didn't do an amazing job with pics this week but here are some below of the baby and the Henne party and none from Monday fun day at square lake. We ended up getting to swim for about an hour before it started pouring, not cool.

** Random thumbs up from the week. **** Just watched the last 30 min of the bachelor tonight, high comedy classic tv. Very funny stuff.

** Prediction of the week *** I got Netherlands taking the world cup.






All ready to see his new cousin.
Max wouldn't stay in his pack n play so he slept with mommy for a little while.
Lil Carson
I'm so happy I can't stop crying!
Carson was born at like 3am so Max was a little tired when they got back to the hotel and decided to pass out on the floor.

First jacuzzi bath.





Got a couple comments about the song I did last week. Here is the real deal - Little Lion Man
