I'm NOT A Total Idiot!!

I did it...I did it....I did it!!!! I figured it out!! It was as easy as pie once I took the first "cutest blog on the block" template off...duh you can't put two templates on at the same time!! So yeah for Mommy figuring it out and the cute designs of that web site and of course making it that easy too...once the first template is off!! ;) So enjoy reading and looking!! I know I am!!

For Now It'll Have to Be....

Well for now...at least it's back to normal enough so that someone can read it, though it's not a cute little background....Many thanks to Mindy for all her phone help (even though my computer has a vendetta against me and staged a pouting fit and wouldn't work!!) Maybe soon you'll be able to have a cuter background to look at and have a more pleasant reading experience!! Until then..it'll just have to be a little boring!!

I'm Computer Illiterate!!

Well I go through this heartache and stay up WAY too late everytime I want to change the template on my blog...everbody else has been coming up with these cute little designs and everything and besides 4th of July was over so I decided to change to something else and it always changes where my stuff is put...and then worst of all it takes away the "customize" section where you can drag and drop stuff....somehow when I had the 4th of July one I still had that but of course Chris was helping me and now he is asleep as I should be..so therefore my blog will be under construction for a little bit until Chris has the time to help me get the look I want so please keep reading and Erin Dennis or anyone else who knows how to keep my drag and drop/add a page element part of my blog even when I change the template....PLEASE call me!!

I've Seen The Light!!

Very protestant title, I know...but it sets the stage for this video...it truly is very cool!! It repeats quite a bit but the end is worth watching for..it does a little something different!! So since I can't figure out how to ever get YouTube videos on here...just click on the title-"I've Seen The Light" and it should take you to where you can watch the video!! I hope at least!! Very good message!!

Whoa...that many huh!!??

Just for interest sake, I updated so much tonight that all my updates couldn't fit on one page!! So click on the Older Posts link at the bottom to see some more cute videos and pictures!! Happy Reading and Watching, especially Mom (because she may be the only one who really cares about all of it) but whoever cares to watch and read, enjoy anyway!! ;)

Here's Scrappy in all her Glory!!

Hey I definitely have to give Destinee her props on her attitude on the Mud Festival...just a few of her "going for it" and the result!!

My Little Puddle Master

Yeah I know, lots of videos tonight, but at least for me that's what I enjoy the most on other people's blogs because then you know that these people you are looking at really do exist and aren't just a picture or a painting....ok silly I know....anyway here's my little mister very much enjoying his little part of heaven...his own little Kyle sized puddle that he would repeatedly..so much so that we had to pull him away from it when it was time to leave...after like 30 minutes of just running back and forth out of the puddle and then purposely tripping so that he'd fall in the middle of it!! The things that kids enjoy!! ;)

The Mud Bath Continues

Each year that we've been to the Mud Festival, Dalin (my no fear kid) has been afraid of the mud and screams even when his feet get in the mud...yes I know very frustrating for his parents who take our children to this spectacle of nastiness thinking Dalin will love it and trying to at least expose Destinee to something different, but every year she has been the one that just face plants in the stinkin' (no it doesn't stink) stuff and just goes hog wild. The Slide.com slide wasn't working tonight, but I'll post some more of the stages of dirtiness when it comes back to working showin' Destinee in all her "Go for it" Glory!! Anyway, but this year Dalin had a friend, Caleb Lancaster that of course had never been but was livin' it up so Dalin decided it must not be TOO bad if his YOUNGER friend can do it, but by george he can do it!! Love that peer pressure!! So this is a video of Dalin being very NOT afraid. Kyle was loving it too but it was deep enough that I had to hold him while I was videoing!! But he absolutely had a ball as well!!

In Case You Didn't Understand!!

For those of you aren't "lucky" enough to be here in Korea, experiencing these fun times with us..this is a video to really illustrate what the "Mud Festival" means!! This is a huge pool of just plain muddy water...oh yeah that's how we roll!! ;)

The Before Mud Pictures!!

This past weekend, we went to the Boryeong Mud Festival for the count it 4th time and we took a "newbie" family with us, The Lancasters...so this is us just as we get there, before the mud carnage begins...whaahaaaaa (very sinister laugh, in case that didn't translate!!) ;)

Sparkly Holidays!!

Well finally getting around to posting the 4th of July pics....notice our matching shirts...Daddy and Mommy had them too just we were taking the picture. We'll be getting our yearly (yeah right, yearly we haven't had a family picture since Kyle was born!!) but I can lie and say that we'll have it done soon!! ;) So ya'll hold out for a picture, now!! I made the cute little hats too...one other fun time craft that I got off of my favorite craft,food,and just all that fun stuff that I love to do website...FamilyFun.com!! Kyle sure does look "done with the fun" in that last picture, huh!!??

The New Do!!

Just a quick pic of my new perm!! Mainly posted for you Mom!! Once again, have had it since 4th of July but have been lazy on updating!! Usually my hair is board flippin' straight so I have wanted to get it like this for a while...haven't had one since my teenage years!! Love it!! How about you!!?

Another Strommer Adjustment

Well with a nice new porch outside to play on...and the BX offering the classic little turtle sand boxes (or for water I guess too) summer has finally sprung...however the problem with the BX's offering of this particular fun child summer time treat is there's no place to get SAND!! So what do the Strommers' use instead...potting soil of course!! A logical substitution, right?? Anyway, we found some herbs that we planted in little pots and used probably 0.1 pd. of dirt, so the rest of the 40 billion pd. bag is out on our porch sitting there doing nothing...so why not spread it out and build "sand" no wait dirt castles...so just the cutesy dirty feet after picture!!

The Bain of our Existence

Well this is just as I said, the bain of Chris's and well subsequently my existence!! He has tried to get this particular class for years as it is the only class that he needed to apply for a Physician Assistant program through the AF, but it has never been offered over the years through the internet...so finally after 2 years here wanting and needing this class so very much Chris put an all up search through the internet for a college that would offer it...and found it at a small college in Georgia..Darton College. Well so he's been taking it for about a month now and though we were so happy that he found it...we had no idea that Chris's teacher would be a "Reading Dictator"-with 5 chapters (each with 40 pages) to read in a span of 9 days...and then take a test on it. Whoa!! Anyway, so though we were happy to find that a college has actually catered to the military a smidge (offering an online course that there's no other way for us to get) here in the land of boondock nowhere-I think both of us, or at the very least ME forgot how much actual "work" there is to do for a grade !!

WHOA...some updates!!

I downloaded the pictures off my computer just down to put some Mud Festival pictures on and...whoops I have so many previous things to post about....warning...boring alert for those that don't really care!! ;) Okay so here we go!! This was probably a month ago when we had our bed underneath the window in our room and Kyle's favorite activity was to climb up there and jump off onto our bed...and this time Dalin was there to catch him!! After seeing this again I laughed my head off.....just funny for Mommies I guess!!
