The man with 4 first names.
Happy Birthday Harold! Thanks for coloring our lives.
If anyone was wondering, Yes we know how lucky we are to have him as a friend,father,and husband.

How are you enriched?

So I was thinking this week of all the enrichment activities our little branch has. I do knitting(badly we are making a dish cloth, mine looks like a Rabbi's hat), Book club, and a Scripture Study Class(out of the preach my gospel manual). I took a class on digital scrap booking, and we have also had a few lunch get togethers.
So it made me wonder what you are all doing? Anyone feeling super enriched. What are your favorite activities?
I think we need classes like ..."Oh no, my home teachers are coming where do I hide my mess". or "How to say no classes"(is that just me?) or "surviving sacrament meeting with kids, with your pride( the righteous kind) still intact". Man those little suckers are humbling. Is the secret cough syrup? I swear if it is I am going to try it. or" How to turn a bag of tatter tots into a dinner everyone will love". or " Dump the guilt" classes, or "How to feel sexy in sweatpants"the list goes on and on.
What do you all do?

Blond hair in korea.

Emma did some modeling a few weeks back. They Just approach you and say"can she model for us" They just like the hair. Sad because korean kids are so cute. We met them on post and the took us to the studio and took her picture for three hours. Gave us a 150$ and then it was over. Just type in minicamp.net. Find the one you can't read that is in Korean. You should see her pic on the top. More flashy ones below. It was kinda fun.

Dr. Fish

So on labor day we went to a water park. It was fun because it was pretty empty since it was an American holiday not Korean. The coolest part was the Dr. Fish. You pay like 3 $ And then you can put your feet in the pool. The fish eat your dead skin. It was really quite strange. More intense then I expected. If you ever get the chance try it. Although don't pay for your kids. Emma wouldn't even put her feet in and I think she is still having nightmares from seeing us do it.

My friends around the World!!!!

Hey all we certainly found a lot of people surfing the net we haven't heard from in awhile, but not all of you have contact info for us to respond to. Please if you don't have a blog leave an email so we can stay in touch. Love you all and hope we see even more people around the Stanley Portkey.

Love Darsha

What the crap is that?

Jodi, You win!!(I'll get your prize to you soon) They are piggy banks. Atleast I think they are. Sorry for the photos quality they were taken by a 12 year old. I was the one driving. We were laughing so hard and just glad to have a camera.

You might be in Korea if you see this on your way to work...............

I really wonder what the fatality rate is here for motorcycle drivers. How is that safe? I am amazed how much they can pack on a motorcycle.

Stanley's at mt. Sorak

We had the opportunity to go on a Marriage retreat last week(yes, we had to take the kids) with Harold's unit. We had a nice couple of days in a nice hotel right near Mt. Sorak. They feed us some interesting food and we saw some sites. It was all paid for. All we had to do is sit through a 3 hour class taught by the unit chaplain. It was a little painful I'll admit, but still worth the reward.
We had a lot of fun. It was great to see some of Korea. Plus now our marriage is saved!

Holy Crap, People read my blog!!

So I have no idea what I am doing with this blog. As you can tell. I can't even get pictures on(some thing wrong with my computer not me). I guess I better kick it up a notch. You are all expert bloggers. I miss you all.
