'Ello Mommy!!!! 





This is Devon waiting at the concert taking a picture with what he thought was a boy. Or did he think it was a girl? We weren't quite sure of the gender. You be the judge.
We got slap bracelets. Ch-ch-ch check it. So 1997.
This picture is a lil carazy but I'll have you notice that good ol' BK is holding his child Dwayne Keller. He came out for a 2nd encore and played BINGO while his son (who is like 3 years old) played the drums. It was awesomely adorable. Or adorably awesome.
This is Devon in a cupcake apron. Hehe.
Ces needed to drain the pineapples but hated the fact that it just goes to waste in the sink. So Devon offered up his mouth. Pineapple juice unwasted!
Here's a close up. Yes she really poured most of that pineapple juice in Dev's mouth.
So my parents were in charge of the food at youth conference and it was at Camp Williams so the theme was ARMY! That's my dad getting pretty into it. Sargent Ted. He also had an apron.
Stone & Sebastian helping with the deco at youth conference. We put tape on their heads. Stone didn't believe, he had to take a look himself.
This is Devon trying on all my dad's army gear. Notice the apron now into the mix, and also a full on camo shirt. Naturally we made him go outside and blend into the greenery so we can try to find him.
And we finally did after 5 minutes. He's behind that bush. I could hear his voice so I just shot in that direction. I couldn't actually see him... Good camo.
We finally found him so Stone & I attacked him while Tessa watched.
Just being silly. Ahhh!
Again, being silly. This time we were able to figure out the flash on my camera.
The sisters in our matching shirts, flashing our all access passes. I'm sure both my sisters will have a picture very similar to this one on their blogs because we made my brother take the pic like 5 times. Thanks Cam. Yes we also have matching tie dye headbands. I mean it is the Arts Festival.
The Madsen girls making the first deposits of the day. We just had to document it mainly because Cam was sick of taking pictures. Hehe classic Cam.
Ces was pretending to flick rubber bands at Cam and he was scared. It. Was. Funny. But you know what was even more funny? When I lifted my hand to fix my hair and he flinched like you wouldn't believe. He hates rubber bands and me fixing my hair apparently. Hehe classic Cam.
Chelsea wanted Cam to go get her a diet coke but he didn't so she was all "Oh Cam you are such a D Bag" and then he found a deposit bag that said "D Bag" so we documented the two D Bags side by side. Hehe, say it with me, classic Cam.
This is Cecily reprimanded Cameron while my Dad proudly beams.
This is my dad (in the green) with Cecily (in the green) and in the back is Cam (not in the green) with his head down. Oh how he just wanted a colored shirt.
Number 2! Hehe Jk Cam. You'll get that green shirt one day.
Ooh ooh now this is another great story. There were wheelchairs in the room we were stationed in so Dev & Cole decided to murderball! Yeah MURDERBALL!
Then Devon was all "look I can balance on the wheels" but really his foot was on a box in front of him. Cole really thought he was balancing and he would not be upstaged! So Cole tried to balance as well, and it did not go over as planned.
This is Cole on the ground after he fell backwards. We all laughed for a few minutes and took pictures. Then we did the appropriate thing and asked if he was okay. It was great.
Devon to the rescue!!!
Here's a closeup. Cecily thought I was a check so she endorsed me with the UAF stamp. It was after midnight so I didn't see it coming. I'm usually so quick on my toes..
We had a picture of us with the pregnancy tests (yes, I took about 5) so I could make a cute scrapbook page for my mom for mother's day. It was so clever, I wrote a lil poem and everything! But I got so nervous that one of my family members would come to my house, use my computer, open up my pictures and out of the 800+ that I have they would find the aforementioned pregnancy test pics and know I was prego sooner than I wanted them to, so I deleted them faster than you could say baby! But if you're ever at my parents house, take a looksy @ the scrapbook pages and you might cry it's so darn clever/cute. Anyway, so I chose the next best pic to post which is the Mr. and Mrs. on the happiest day of our lives. Now when we have our lil girl or guy I think it's safe to say that on the list of happiest days, we will have to bump the wedding day to a close 2nd. We are beyond thrilled and so friggin excited to welcome our lil one in 7 months. That's right, I'm already 2 months along. How good of a secret keeper am I? But now... We're pregnant, we're pregnant and we don't care who knows it!!
Looking into the future, grasping her heart of knowledge. Oops I mean, her heart isn't full of knowledge! Ack, I'm not a graduate so I wouldn't know... I sorry.
A blue & white volleyball we just found in the backyard. Goes great with the gown doesn't it?
This one was her "I'm throwing my hat in the air and I just don't care" pic. Came, saw, conquered.
On her bike going into the future, with her legs out because she just graduated and doesn't know where the road will lead her... Ahhh! Look at world!
This is also a shot like the one above. Except it also has gospel doctrine books in it. I mean she did graduate from BYU and all.
Practicing her walk of glory. Fist pumping her success.
Oh snap! Yes, we got my mom to do a newsies jump. Like 5 times too since we had like 5 cameras. She was all for it. I mean now that she's a college graduate, she can pretty much do anything. Including the newsies jump.
My mom lounging by a tree in front of the Marriott Center. See the words on the building.. They say "Marriott Center." Told ya.
My father brought her some flowers. He is just the sweetest.
This is us girls and my dad after the wonderful ceremony. So proud, like peacocks. (30 Rock quote.. watch it.)
All the sons-in-law with the grad and my dad. I rhymed. And I also used the plural term of son-in-law correctly. Or did I, is it son-in-laws?! Again, not a graduate ahh!
Not to overshadow my mom and her amazing accomplishment but this last pic is of Devon & I rolling down the hill by the BYU Library. Yes, those are my G's. Don't act like you're not impressed.
And there you have it. Well mostly. Once I get a hold of my mom's camera you won't know what hit you. Anywho, congrats to the grad! We are so proud of her and love our Linda Bradshaw Madsen so much! Woo BYU class of '09 (but mostly just my mom). Yay mom!
