Trying to get a bizillion pictures off my camera I ran into a few I thought I should share. Maddux had a cute little pre-school Christmas program. These are my favorite. These adorable little kids that call shouting singing! Loved it!!! And the Santa.... are you kidding me. He is seriously the real deal. Right when he walked in McGwire instantly kept yelling, "santa... santa..." He sat down in his chair and Gwire went and sat right at his feet and kept tapping him on his knee saying, "Hi Santa." "Santa, I want Power Rangers." "Santa, I want Transformers." "Santa I want...." and on and on. Well, the preschool kids are supposed to go first but.... this adorable Santa could not resist. Either that or wanted to get the obnoxious little 2 year old off his feet. But the way he talked and visited with the kids was amazing. He was adorable. I loved the pic of Eric and Macee snoozing. Eric is so not a napper but he actually spends a little time at home over the holidays, which we LOVE!!! He came home from the school around 1 that afternoon and Mace just snuggled up and they took a 3 hour nap! You go DAD!
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!"

What a cute Santa!! I think you have such a cute family.... I know I always say that to you, but I mean that. When I stopped by the other night to get the fun workout stuff (wish me luck starting Monday, by the way!!) your kids were so fun. I love how personable they are.... and I love their little faces. You do an amazing job with them. I admire you.... When I'm pregnant, I'm such a DUD at everything. I feel like I kind of "check out" of life for 9 months, literally. You're awesome. SERIOUSLY.
