Another Week for the Madsens!!!

Well HELLO..... Long time, no blog... I really have to quit doing this once a week!! Be ready for a few pics! We haven't had a ton going this week. Mick's Lehi city league team went to State. I wasn't able to attend all the games because I have this thing called a job... boy does that stink huh? But they did okay... I will go into detail further in the post. This first pic is of cute Murphy under his jungle gym... He LOVES this pink pig. He snuggles it, hugs it, talks to it. So funny!!! He is growing so quickly. He has started giggling which is just awesome. There is no sweeter sound than a little goo from a baby!

The top pic is of our friends, the Burgi's, twin boys Carter and Kenji. They are 16 months old and so stinkin cute!!! Coach Gardner had us all out for a BBQ and it was soooo fun! He had the horses saddled and the 4-wheelers ready. My kids LOVE his farm. We all came home with 1000 mosquito bites but they are almost gone now. I loved the pic below. It is the twins and Gwire and I thought it was hilarious that Kenji was trying to sneak a few bites of McGwire's ice cream cone! These 3 boys loved the swing!

A little house update. As you can see it is coming along quite well. We will have the windows next week and plumbers, electricians and heating and cooling is all lined up for next week also! It is hard to tell but from left to right is my niece, Kaitlyn, of course poser Macee, and then niece Kira. The girls came in yesterday from Texas and we are so darn glad to have them home!

This is an updated pic of Janet's cute little Chloe. She is REALLY starting to look just like Janet's baby pictures!!! She is so pretty!

The above pic could be one of my favorite pics ever. Maddux idolizes Mick. When he heard Mick was playing his final games this particular day, he went and geared up. He begged me to let him go to the park early and warm up with Mick and the team. Mick was a good sport and went along with it! I thought they looked so cute. Okay - so I don't brag much... but am very proud of my kids. The last game of the tourney Mick did awesome. It was either sink or swim so the coach allowed him to throw (pitch) the entire game. In the six innings that he threw he allowed 2 hits and struck out 14 batters. There were 3 innings he struck out the side. Unfortunately we had a few errors and we ended up loosing. Going into the last inning we were down 6-2. This little team came back and tied it 6-6. They were so excited!! But... the other team was the home team and we ended up loosing. Mick actually got a little emotional, which is so out of character for him. I was surprised and asked him what was up... he said, "After tying it up in the last inning I really felt like the other kids on my team deserved to win. They all played so hard." I was proud of this 10 year old. We love you Mick. So here is a little play by play of his delivery!!!

Last but not least, here is Maddog in the car, on our way home from the park. Exhausted. That is how I am feeling right now (must I admit it's almost 2 am!!!) We are going down to Cleveland Days tomorrow evening. Call me pathetic but I LOVE this celebration. I get to see all my old friends, clients and family and they have the best fireworks show EVER. I am sure I will have a few cute pics the first of next week. Til then.....
