THANKSGIVING!

Wow. I have so much to be thankful for. The best parent's in the world, 3 older brothers that always make sure I am ok, the most loving husband who supports me in everything I do (even BYU football), 2 beautiful girls that are straight A students, musically talented, and so much help to me, a wonderful job, a warm gorgeous home, great neighbors and friends, a free country and perfect health. I love Thanksgiving because it does make me stop and remember that I am very blessed. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and remember to be thankful! by: Ann

BYU vs. UTAH!

I have always loved football since being a cheerleader in Jr. High and High School. I get to golf with Bronco Mendenhall (BYU football coach) and Kyle Whittingham (Utah football coach) each summer at the Kidney Foundation Golf Tournament. I am a true blue BYU fan. (I get way too emotional - just ask Mike) I will probably spend half the game hiding behind my couch not watching the best play of the game. I get so excited I just can't look! I don't get to go to the game because I would probably get escorted out if BYU starts losing. Both of these teams have the same record this year - 11wins and 2 losses, but it is BYU's turn to WIN. GO COUGARS!

HOMEMADE Candy!

Brooke made homemade candy for the 1st time. She loved playing in the chocolate. It was YUM YUM!

Sitting at the Diner!

This year for Halloween we set up the "Madsen Diner" on Mike's snowmobile trailer and put it in our driveway! We had so much fun dancing, popping corn for the kids, playing our oldies music and dressing up like the 50's. Thanks for a great time!
