Okay - I found this awesome Yankee template and I have been working for the last darn hour to get it to work. Anyway, for those of you who have changed the template you understand that you have to add all your "widgets" or am I totally crazy and there is an easier way? Anyway, want everyone to know that I have changed it so anyone can post a comment, not just google users. I couldn't figure out all the hits on the cite with no comments until a cousin told me she couldn't post a comment. Hopefully this helps. Also - if you woulnd't mind voting again I would reallllllly appreciate it. It totally erased my poll which stinks but we will start over and leave the Yankee page on until the baby is born!!!
Welcome to the Madsen Family Blog! Eric and I have been married for 12 wonderful years. We have 5 handsome little guys and 1 princess in our family. Eric is the head baseball coach at UVU. I am a full-time insurance agent for Banasky Insurance. I have the luxury of working out of my home where I also take on the roll of full-time mom, laundry woman and taxi chauffer! We feel absolutely blessed with a beautiful, healthy family.
I have grown to love blogging and finding friends and family out there to keep in touch with. I hope you enjoy our blog and please feel free to make comments.
The Madsen Family Sealed Sept 1999

The Clan
Mick was named after the great Mickey Mantle. He loves baseball, basketball, baseball, football and baseball. He is the official bat-boy for the UV Wolverines and is an awesome example to his younger brothers and sister! We were definitely blessed with the "perfect" child... I can only pray that his brothers are as obedient and helpful as he is at this age. He is definitely one of my big sources of survival! He probably takes on too much as a 11 year old but he is the one that begged for 11 siblings!!! Ya... he watched Cheaper by the Dozen a few too many times!
Macee "Jo" (Joe DiMaggio) is "THE PRINCESS" of the Madsen home. She loves to dance, tumble and get her nails done (yes, pathetic for a 9 yr old). She is full of spunk and we are so lucky to have our "ONE PRINCESS." She is a huge help with her little brothers! She is an angel in our home. I love how kind hearted Macee is to EVERYONE!!! She is a peacemaker and friend to everyone... I also love that she LOVES to drop everything and go shop with her mom!!!
This is our Maddux (Greg Maddux). He has turned out to be a wonderful little man. I say that because he really struggled through the terrible 2's. He idolizes his older brother and also LOVES baseball. I love Maddie's gorgeous smile and his sparkling blue eyes!!!
McGwire (yes, Mark McGwire - pre-steroid mind you). Absolute personality. He is a spit-fire with enough personality for the entire world. He can make you laugh one second and make you curse the next. I love the way he will always want to be snuggled before he falls asleep. I think in order for him to go to sleep... he has to rub my face... We Loooooove GWIRE!
Mays (Willie Mays), is the toddler of the house. He entered the terrible twos when he started walking at one and we are PRAYING that he grows out of them. For those of you who know him you understand. He has been an absolute blessing in our home. Although he is giving us a run for our money now... he was a wonderful baby!!! I love watching him mimick everything his older brothers do (kinda). I love his natural curls on his head and his big happy blue eyes!
Murphy is the 6th and final Madsen. Although he was the product of a "vasectomy gone bad" we would not trade him for the world. We are soooooo blessed to have him in our home! He is named after the great Dale Murphy (a Utah boy). He turned 2 the end of March and looks like he is going to try harder every day to keep up with the older brothers! I love his little head of red... and his "thunder thighs!"

WOW!!! Talk about a lot of catch up!!! I voted for Mattingly....I just think Murphy sounds kinda dorky??? Just my opinion though? Thanks for the updates...and WAY cute pics.
I love your new template!! I swear, I can't figure mine out. I had to have my sister help me. I need a change for mine, too. Any ideas?? By the way, I voted for Mattingly AGAIN. Love the name. I told Shane, and he said he used to choose his number back in school...'cause he loved the guy. (and he's not a Yankee fan) I loved what you wrote about Eric going to Yankee Stadium, by the way. It is so awesome.... When I lived in NY, way back when....that was my favorite thing to do. I loved the Yankees growing up, but after you go to that stadium, with so much history....you can't help but love 'em. It's the best.... You guys need to go. It's so worth it. I'm a total sports nut...and I love doing stuff like that. I still need to get Jason to go to NY with me. Shane and I went, after we were first married...and he loved it, too. I bribed him to go to Broadway shows with me (which he ended up loving....) by getting awesome tickets to go see a Yankees game, and a Mets game. So fun.... Sorry to write about my crazy life....It probably sounds like Jerry Springer, huh?? I loved all your posts, by the way!! I was excited to see so many!! Thanks again for the workout stuff. I really appreciate it!! :o)
Sorry to comment AGAIN, and I hope you don't get annoyed by my long comments!! ha ha I just had to tell you that I love your music!! :o)
Carrie- I found mine on pyzam.com. The have a ton of them! If you decide to do it give me a call and I will tell you how I moved my "widgets" as they call them (which are all your added things on the side, song playlist, counter etc.). It was a little bit of a pain and took an hour but I am a woman of change. I get tired of the same thing really easy so it was worth it for me.
