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!!
