The Late Night Car Wash.....This One's For My Favorite Elder!!

This has got to be one of the funniest posts that we have ever made, at the expense of my nephew...Who has serious sleepwalking problems, but oh how funny they're. And
Micheal is 17 yrs old "Stud", he excels in ALL sports and is loved by Family and girls!

So this is how the story starts: When we would travel home (Utah) during the summer, we stay with different family members, the last couple summers we were blessed enough to stay at my brother Lorin's house, he has room for all of us and then some. (Elder) Bobby's last summer visit before this mission, he experienced Micheal's sleep walking adventures.I also witnessed it and therefore can verify this post...Had I not, it would be hard to believe.

This happened at his Mom's house and here's her story:

After Michael waking me up by calling me on my cell phone at 1am and telling me that I was late to work and he was backed up with customers and I had a bad work ethic, I walk out in the family room and find this...



Please note the "Please tip" what a businessman!



The water jug nozzle was pointing down but I had to turn it up so it wouldn't leak.


All the customers that were lined up to get a car wash.


Down the hall.


The line turning to go in the car wash.


Michael isn't this detail oriented when he is awake!


Baby feel asleep while waiting.




More irate customers.


Backed up down the hall


Notice the towels for drying them.


Leading right from my bedroom door and around the corner into the family room.



Thanks Micheal...Your a trooper for letting me publish this. Elder Folsom is going to have a smile on his face for weeks.......

Bon Fire!!

Well we finally have a back yard and we're LOVING it, Dale spent the day clean the branches and twigs, and putting them into piles, along with some leftover moving boxes.
We then went and got some Marshmallows, Hershey bars, graham crackers and of course hot dogs. The girls decided to invite one friend each, Jessica's friend is an exchange student from Germany (Who has never seen a outdoor fire and have never tried smores). Molli's is a "friend" from here in Tennessee.
The fire started out Big and Hot, but after the ashes dyed down and the heat somewhat "cool off" we were able to roast hot dogs and make smores. Next time we will do it TOTALLY different, and have regular wood and maybe even a lantern. We are going to make a fire pit back there and have chairs surrounding the pit...How FUN!!!!!!
I just cannot wait for Elder Folsom to return and enjoy the house and yard also!

Halloween 2009

Well this year was a little different from other years. I guess being in Japan for 8 yrs can do that to you...
The neighbors had this AWESOME set up, they must have spent ALL day getting ready. The photo's don't do them justice. They had music blasting, some people were on the ground cause they were "Wounded"...




And then of course I HAD to dress up..After all I finally got a grown up costume. The kids liked it, the adults actually loved it, except one lady...she was a little offended, but after I thought about...She must have been jealous....right? I mean really, some people just need to lighten up and take a chill pill.....




And I also had to decorate with the traditional lawn decor. Not only was I missing my puppy, I also lost the two girls!!!
