Quick Trip to Arizona

Let me make this clear...this is a teaser post. Nothing more.

Sorry Camme and Kecia, this was the only family picture I had!

To be continued...

This is a hint to the Cox girls and Madsen girls to email over some pictures, so I can properly document our fun-fulled weekend at the Madsen Casa! :)

I mean...South Fork!

Oh that's right...it was South Fork up in Provo Canyon, but with the temperature drop it may as well have been the South Pole!

Whitney arranged family home evening up the canyon, and it was a refreshing change of pace for a Monday night.

Just keeping Tadd warm!

The Mama and the Papa sharing a blanket since neither of them thought to bring a sweater. Tisk, tisk.

Lola and her boyfriend, Andrew, whom we tried to sufficiently embarrass with relationship questions.

The grandkids

Van is a pro badminton player...no biggie.

Four of the six. Where was Lauren? Just around the riverbend...I bet.

And where were the men? In the truck with the heater on full blast.
Weak.

Fun, fun, fun. Let's do this again!
Next year in July, that is.

Support Boobies

I don't do words.

Megan does words.

From Sparks.

Please read her words [here] about my sweet grandma, and sweet Aunt Robin.

I post pictures. Gaze upon these. It's my way of helping.

Grammy Betty Lou prior to her breast cancer diagnosis. Check out those killer legs. Smokin'!

Supporting my handsome husband at a golf tournament three years ago.

4 1/2 years ago at Jack's blessing.

I love you, Grammy.

Is Summer Over?

The last Sunday at East Bay of hot dog and marshmallow roasting, and watching the little dudes enjoy the putting green...

A pretty sure sign that summer is deserting us.

Enjoying Grandma's chili dip

Tadd even cut down a putter to "just their size"! (not pictured)

The Leishman's and future Madsen's also joined us numerous times!

In the Name of the Job...

Clear band-aids allow for estimation of blood lost.

Roamin' Around My Noodle...

...thoughts, that is.
I have some thoughts to document...

*Should I be as excited for New Moon as everyone else is? I can't decide .

*All I want to do these days is watch sappy movies. The kind that make your heart jump when the two main characters finally kiss. Any recommendations? Tonight's feature film? Ella Enchanted (for the 3rd night in the row).

*I'm so happy Megan is finally liking her pixie 'do.

*Am I too old to wear leggings? Because guess what...I don't care. They are so blasted comfortable, and I'll wear them until...well, until I don't.

*I think Kaley is hilarious and I look forward to her riotous blog entries everyday. I beg of you KK, don't let me down. Fairly sure she doesn't read my blog, however. Pathetic of me.

*I'm dreading Autumn. Truthfully, I would enjoy if this next season actually lasted a good three months, but I fear that once the leaves start turning Winter will be a weekend away.

*I secretly despise every one of my clients that have thick, long, beautiful hair. I want to chop it all off and magically make a wig for myself. Jealousy is a biotch.

*I've discovered that if I'm ever feeling my way through the dark (you know, 3:00 A.M. bathroom runs, etc) I actually keep my eyes shut. Is that normal?

*I have a new job. Part time baby-sitter for Nickell and Aaron. Every Tuesday for a whopping 2 hours. And get this, Kade sleeps the whooole time. What can I say? I'm like a freaking baby-whisperer (or rather, his parents put him down before I arrive, and he's down for four hours).

*My husbands has fantastic legs. Ahhh, he's so freaking attractive.

*The ending song of Ella Enchanted always gives me the chills, even though it's so obvious Anne Hathaway is lip syncing.

Darise, I dedicate the title of this post to you.
