"Love your little ones--even the ones that drive you crazy. If you could see them the way God sees them -- you would be astounded at their glory."
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.
Sorry... One more post... When I got home from the gym this morning the kids had taken pics of Murphy and his (Macee's) sunglasses so here is a couple shots!
Oh my gosh....He is so stinking cute. I love the glasses on him!! :o) He is growing up so much. You should let me take/borrow him one night so you can get some sleep. I have a hard time sleeping anyway....so I would have a good excuse to be up!! I would love it. Murphy and I can be "night owls" together. hee hee
What cute pictures!!! They make him look so grown up though- he is growing way too fast. I'm with Carrie- I'd be more than happy to take him for a night so you could get some sleep. We are all a bunch of night owls at this house.
He is so cute, those were funny pics! That's funny that the other kids took them. I always feel bad for the younger ones because they don't get as much of my time as the firstborn did. I just realized I should feel for the first, he didn't have what Murphy has, brothers and sisters who want to play all the time and think he is the cutest thing ever! Don't worry, I write run-on sentences all the time! Any way Hans' office is Lehi Pediatric Dentistry, I think it is on 200 East?? and Main. He would love to see your kids. Phone is 766-5557. He works there on Mondays and Wednesdays. Thanks!
What hot stuff. I love when they take pictures and you don't know. I think you get the real personalities. Watchout then, because he might be a wild one with those cool glasses. Ha! You inspire me. You and Eric are Amazing!!! We love you guys!!! karen
These are Jayla's hours also! Actually, these were also the sleeping hours of my other two, so I don't know what a full night of sleep is with a baby in the house.
That pic with all of your kidos in the same bunk is so sweet!!
I'm also lovin Murphs red hair! What a darling baby!
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!"
