A week in sunny Arizona

Madsen and I spent the week in Arizona with Jamie and Jenny. Jason joined us for the weekend. It was so much fun to watch Madsen, Ben and Kate play together. I want to stay here until May -when it warms up in SLC. (and my house is finished)

Madsen at breakfast with Jason. I was catching some sleep.

Jason said he and Madsen were the only people in there under 90. Madsen was putting on the charm for the old folks.


Clowning around...

Ben is a dream baby and I would like to snatch him!

6 Month pictures

We took Madsen to get some photos in November when he was 6 months old. He was loving the attention and would not put his tongue away. Silly guy. I must say..he is pretty cute.

Another week with Mr. Stinker

Madsen getting a breathing treatment. He only sits still for about 2 seconds.


While my mom takes a shower I will organize her shoes.

What happened to leaving him and coming back to him in the same place?

Madsen and Dad ready to go to dinner. It is a big mistake to take Madsen to dinner....he goes to bed at 6:30.

Almost 8 months old and very busy

Madsen has begun to crawl and is into everything. I can't leave him alone for 30 seconds. He is either under my night stand pulling on a cord, putting his fingers in an electrical outlet or trying to pull himself up on something that can't support him. This is a fun stage and he is rather curious.


Busted getting into the garbage.

Up he goes. Looks like walking is just around the corner.

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
