Christmas in Maui

Celebrating Christmas in Maui with my family was a blast. The best part was talking to our missionary brothers. Madsen loved opening his fish bowl from Santa and then playing in all of the ribbon and paper. We had so much fun- minus the trips to the doctor. We went for lots of walks and enjoyed the warm air.

My first U basketball game

Jason took Madsen to his first UofU Basketball game. He said Madsen had a good time. I noticed that Madsen had red all around his mouth when he returned...no wonder he had a good time...Jason was feeding him licorice!

Just more pictures of Mr. M

Trouble Makers

My Grandma Okland went to Norway this summer and brought back sweaters for her great grandkids. My mom thought it would be nice to get a picture with Ben, Kate and Madsen wearing them. Much easier said than done. Ben and Madsen got in theirs and Kate refused. Two hours later when she changed her mind...Ben and Madsen were tired and in no mood. Needless to say- the photo did not turn out great but it was pretty entertaining to watch these three. Kate and Ben were in town for Thanksgiving and it was fun to see them.


We would rather watch TV then have our picture taken.

Are they laughing at us?

Kate demanded to have gum in her mouth before the photo was taken. I love that kid! Madsen thinks that being 8 weeks older than Ben gives him the right to tease.
