It is the FALL SEASON!!!

As you know...I LOVE to decorate...but, the FALL is my absolutel FAVORITE time of the year to decorate...even over Christmas...So, I took pictures of the "freedom" room...Angel is the one who got me going this year...I haven't really decorated much since we put the house up for sell...nearly 3 years ago...I am so glad we did it....LOVE THIS ROOM...!!!!

Service Project - Palama's Yard

This give you an idea of how much wood they had to cut up...though this picture

might not have done it justice...

Hyrum got his truck stuck in the soft ground...(smile) on Kit's property...

Your dad called this a "true CHAIN GANG" (smile)

This tree was a threat - was LONG - and no one knew which way it was going - neighbor's or Kit's home...They had to fell it JUST RIGHT...and they did!!!

Pieces weren't small

They weren't certain how it was going to fall - but, it came STRAIGHT DOWN and CRRRASH...

I was so sorry I didn't get a VIDEO OF IT - it really was AWESOME the way it came down!

This is the tree that was threating Kit's home

I have come to experience over the years...that men...are simply BIG BOYS...They still love to cut things up...tear things down...and watch things FALL....That is why.....as BIG BOYS...they get a kick out of "taking things down" in a "bigger fashion"...BIGGER TOYS...and more protential of "bigger" THRILLS....especially...if it has the element of a little "danger"...5 men (4 of them Bishops - only one CURRENT Bishop) (Bush, Hansen, your Dad, and Bishop Hale) (Leno Sanft was the non-Bishop) and 4 young men (Spencer/Trevor Bush....Daniel Palama and Hyrum...took down 4 trees for Kit Palama....One tree had fallen against another tree, but if it had not the other tree to catch it...it would have fallen on Kit's home...The other 3 dead trees were a danger to her home or neighbor's home...

Using the Force

Just imagine lightning bolts coming from his hands... the Force is strong with this one.

mom, this is for you since you didn't get to hear his "mama" cry

Nathan - Our future "Statesman"

Nathan has noticed that Sammy has something he doesn't have much of....HAIR...

Cousins - Nathan Day and Sammy Joslyn

Just liked this picture of Nathan

Some things never change...among siblings...(smile)

Abe, Jared, Hyrum, and Garvin - General Conference Weekend

I know...has been a while since I have loaded up some pictures of the family...I have a couple from General Conference and when...Sammy came to visit for a little bit...while Jenny and Dave went to the temple...

The Worst Drink in America!

The Worst Drink in America:
Baskin-Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake

2,310 calories
108 g fat (64 g saturated)
266 g sugar

Let's look at America's Worst Drink in numbers:

73: The number of ingredients that go into this milkshake.
66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.
11: The number of Heath Bars you would have to eat to equal the number of calories found in one Baskin Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake.
12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.
240: The number of minutes you'd need to spend on a treadmill, running at a moderate pace, to burn it off.

Worst Milkshake
Baskin-Robbins Large York Peppermint Pattie Shake (32 oz)

2,210 calories
103 g fat (57 g saturated)
281 g sugar

The freakish brother of the Heath monster, the York shake earns its title as the most sugar-saturated product in America. To put it in perspective, you'd have to down 15 Twinkies to match the sugar content in this Baskin-Robbins blunder.

Hmmm... Interesting...

Last night I had a dream that dad was teaching a class and he had all these household items (cans, jugs, boxes, etc) stuck to the chalkboard with magnets to show some kind of graph. In the dream I distinctly remember being so impressed with how innovative he was in order to make his students understand economic principles. I was there with the kids, that part is s bit hazy but I do recall that as the dream progressed dad somehow morphed into Luke and Luke was teaching some kind of class out of a giant trailer (hey, I've hard art classes in trailer type things at BYU) and all these punk kids were asking Luke if I was his woman. LOL! It was pretty funny.

COCKROACHES!

How long can a cockroach live without its head?

A headless cockroach will live for about a week until it dies of thirst. Here's why: Roaches do not need their heads to breathe -- oxygen is absorbed through spiracles (the insect version of gills) on their body -- and they can survive for a month without food.

How Long Can a Cockroach Live Without Its Head?

A few more photos to "enjoy". Deep fried roach in Thailand.

This next "Mormonad" brings memories of growing up. I would not be surprised if this happened to one of us after the roaches cozied up in an Ice Cream bucket.
