U + Me = Us.. Calculus..

Ahhh I just feel like blogging. Unfortunately I hardly have anything to post... Whenever I'm in a convo with someone I usually think in my head "I'm gonna blog about this" but I sometimes always forget what that convo entailed. I kept telling Devon I'm gonna blog about how I actually find some parts of the Olympics to be a tad boring and how I just can't get myself to read those Twilight books, hence imagining leaving my husband for a much paler guy (sorry Devo, you're tan but not as tan as you used to be, remember when you had the ten a month pass.. hehe secrets out). Ack sorry if I offend anyone.. But this blog is my prerogative yo.

Anyway... I thought the best thing to make a post about would be to tell the story of how Devon and myself became. It is almost our one year anniversay and all.. No, not from when we first met, we celebrated that a few months ago.. Kidding, sort of. Alright, now the story begins... "cue harp and fairy dust.." One night while I was living in Provo, I was taking up all the clothes and shoes I stole from my sisters to my apartment. These two fine gentleman asked if I needed a hand. Neither of them were Devon. But I said sure since they were going up to my apt anyway. They thought, while running around in adult diapers one night (oh college), that some girls yelled "King Henry 310! ow!" so they appeared.. I think I speak for all my roomies when I say that we were not the girls who yelled that, but wow am I glad that's what they heard.. You may be thinking what does this have to do with Devy... Well they were his roommates Luke and Tyler (shoutout) so I pretty much have them to thank for my lifelong bliss.
I remember the first time I met Devon. He and one of the nice guys who helped with all my stolen goods came back to 310 one night to invite me to their "big hair party." Devon was just clinging on to the railing outside my door and I remember thinking "wow he does have big hair... good thing they're having this party." Well I didn't go to it but him and Luke came over again, this time to watch Xmen3. My roommates bailed on me so it was just the three of us. Awkwardish. Devon started calling girls from my ward directory to ask them on dates and I so thought he was a playa. Silly me.
Anyway.. Our actual first dateish consisted of getting Devon's dry cleaning and eating at the Provo Olive Garden. Both those places will always hold a special place in my heart. After that we were pretty much inseperable. He even came to my family's Christmas Eve ugly sweater party and we didn't even call each other gf/bf yet. Brave boy he was, wearing a turtleneck and all. So that is how we began. We've had our ups and downs but mostly ups.. I'm still a lil bitter about when he compared me to a Charleston Chew but he's made up for it dearly. I love my lil'Devy and I'm glad you are my husband. We've almost made it 1 year! Best year of my life!! Woo! Oh my this is such a long post for me.. I'm trying to move my blog on up so I can someday get paid to do this since I didn't pass the chacha guide test. Enjoy the story of the Tonkas. I know I have.

This is us at Devon's house in Cali. First time I met his family. Don't we look so different? Probably not since it was barely a year ago. Ahhh Provo love.

The End. Oh here's Devon... What did everyone think of The Hills? Team Lo or Audrina? Team Heidi's sister or Spencer? Loves the beard.

Tagged.. brewhahah

So Chelsea "tagged" me or whatever. She is so silly. But since it's been a while and since my camera seems to be not cooperating with my computer I guess this is all I've got. Just words.. Ooohhh boy here goes.
Three Joys:
1. My family. They are all just too great.
2. My Lil' Devy. aka my husband Devon. He's funny.
3. Baby Ice. I really get joyful when I'm at a restaurant/fast food chain and I see they have baby ice. Cheek to cheek smile appears.
Three Fears:
1. Clowns. Nuff said.
2. Spiders. That's Devs too.. You should hear him scream when they come out from under our couch. Yes, we have spiders living under our couch. Eeekk..
3. Kidney infections. Those are a regular Dracula or something else fearful.. Seriously.
Three Goals:
1. To clean my house. It's so dirrrttyy..
2. I guess to be pretty healthy.. I've really let myself go.. What with major surgery and a kidney infection and all.
3. To figure out where that retched smell is coming from at my place of work. It's unsettling.
Three Current Obsessions/Collections:
1. Celebrities
2. Celebrities
3. Celebrities
Like I said in one of my previous posts, I will be the next Perez.
Three Random Surprising Facts About Me:
1. I can sing the national anthem with my mouth closed. Complete with a "Play Ball!"
2. You'd be surprised to know that I sometimes, always know random things. Things that really should be unknown to me.. Msnbc people. It works wonders.
3. I can crochet like nobody's business.. Okay that's a lie. I can play croquet like nobody's business.. That might not be a lie..
I tag: Cecily and that's it... I really wanna check your blog one day and see that you're not new to blogging. It's getting ridiculous.

Welp that's me being tagged.. Update on my life is that I had surgery which wasn't so bad, but then I got sick from my pain pills which was sad, but then I had a kidney infection which is the worst pain I have ever felt. Devon was there for the entire time and I bet he'd tell you that it was the worst pain he has ever felt too. At least he got a glimpse of what life will be like when I'm 80 and can barely walk. Other than that life is good.. Ahhh Madsen Family Reunion '08! You'd understand if you were a Madsen. Which I'm thinking mostly anyone who reads my blog is so good times.

P.S. Devon wanted me to make an announcement that August 18th is the hills season 4 premiere and he is excited. I'm not even joking. I kinda wish I were.

you know you love us

This... Is Gonna Be HUGE!!!

Hello, hello, helllooo... So plenty of pics to post. I kinda put this one outta order but it takes way too long to click it to the right spot so... Lucky you guys. A little preview.
This is Devon, Alex, and Zach.. And Zach's weird weiner. Hot dog. Eww.. Any way you think about it. Hot dogs are gross uncooked.
This is Tessa. I know she just woke up but I can't explain why her face is like that. It's hilarious though.
Here I made Devon a wonderful belated birthday fondue dinner. Well I cut up the raw meat and put the broth in the pot. But it was delicious! Disregard all the electrical cords by the t.v. And by electrical cords I mean every single gaming controller known to man. Nerds.Okay, the sign says "David Archuleta is "tie dye" for" Get it? This is at the american idol concert fyi. It was awesome!
This guy was apparently way pissed that Ces won the last b98.7 tshirt. So cuz of that people would just spin the wheel and get the prize of his presence. Lucky.
Guitar Hero! I was really into hippie vibe that night. Hence the peace sign, and the peace sign ring, and the headband, and the tie dye dress, and the peace sign earrings.. It was "American" Idol.

Some big eagle. Sure fooled me.
Oh man... Stone loves me so much. I'm going to be the best mom. Pretty sure I had heels on so pretty amazing huh? (Stone really loves me he just wanted to go doorbell ditch my neighbors I've never met.. That'd be awkward.)
This was after a wedding we catered in a sorta grass/sorta dirt field. Our feet were diirrrttyy. But not our ears, eyes, or mouth. (see, hear, speak no evil) My mom fell asleep! Ah!
In my parent's backyard, roasting hot dogs, just being in love. We dressed to impress. I forgot that we would be outside with fire smoke all up in our grill. I screwed the pooch on that one!
Sophie in all her glory. Look at her side swept bangs underneath that visor. Gorgeous.

Devon, Cole, and Rubie. Rubs is so ticked at Devon. She's all "Get off my dad you class a moron!" Not really, Rubie is the sweetest.
It was Cam & Devon's birthday. Here they are putting their minds together and their fisted hands. All because Coleman got them the same soccer game. Ahhh family. And now we have what I did on Monday. Courtney (on the right) is going to Taiwan for 6 months so we all got together for lunch. Yes, it takes someone moving to a foreign country to bring us all together. Jk friends. Katie and Liz are the other girls.. Kt's getting married.
Kenneth and Nick came along too!
And Kaitlyn & I were there too. It's safe to say we all had a good time. Because we all said "Oh I had a good time." I heard it.

Anywho... In pictures, that is what has been going on. In non pictures, Devon goes to work and I also go to work. And at nights we go running together. Pssshhhaha. That's a lie. We swim laps.

Peace.

My Lil' Devy

So... Whilst I sit at work, I thought "my husband is funny" so I'm making a post dedicated to him. Seriously you guys, sometimes I think we should have a reality show because we are a dynamic duo. Like take for instance, today. Dev and I went to lunch at 11 A.M. (yes I know.. that's early! But Devy doesn't have much time before he goes to work :( so sad) Anywho.. We were at Jimmy John's sandwich place which has gigantious pickles and I've never seen my hub eat one. So I shoved it ever so gently in his face and said politely, "eat it! eat it! EAT IT!" And then all of a sudden, Devon's hand swaps the pickle, it bounces off the railing (we were eating outside) and lands directly onto the trashcan. Like it landed right where you open the flap to throw away stuff so people would have to avoid this huge pickle when they threw away trash. We laughed and laughed! Seriously, this is reality show worthy. We're real life, no take twos.

Next story... I'm sure you wonder why I have that lil' saying below our name. I'll explain. One night Dev and I were trying to figure out, and I apologize in advance, what the name was for people who had sex with dead people. And I said "it's something pheliac, like people who have sex with trees are called something pheliacs too" and then Devon goes on to say, "all diseases are pheliacs...arachnophobia." Wow lil' Devy! And he wants to be a doctor!! It was Fun Nay! So that's it. I just love my lil' Devy so much! It is never a dull moment when I'm with him!! I hope all you people enjoyed. And by people I mean persons because I'm pretty sure only a handful of peeps read this. Spread the word. I'm hoping to be the next Perez Hilton, except prettier, skinnier, and a real woman. That's all. Happy day.

2 posts in 1 month! Whaaa?!?

Alright, so here are a bunch o pictures from the past few weeks. They have been good ones.

Dev & I watched the babes one morning. I swear this is what Stone wanted to wear. Nothing but shorts and a sweater vest. Look at Tessa smiling with her tongue. She's so silly.

Awwww.. Isn't Devon the best uncle ever! Taking them to go see the nay nay's. So tute. A few weekends ago we went to the zoo which was awesome and hot. Except not awesome. Here is Ces and Cole's engagement pic. Wait Wha? That's weird. But that elephant sure wasn't!Rubie & I about to watch the bird show. Which kinda sucked btw.There's lil Sophie Kate on the carousel. I believe she was riding a deer. Or a kangaroo, I can't tell.Stone measuring up! He was so close. Ack!Tessa sure was exhausted. And that was only like 1 hour into our zootravaganza. Devon & I with our new hairdos. His is short and mine is red. VaVa Voom!Devon & I on a teeter totter. Which probably wasn't a good idea considering that swingset was kinda new when I was 5.We are all dressed in yellow. How crazy is that!?Tessa was telling this real fun story to Devon. She was like "Isn't that so funny."

This is Cecily and I on a bus to the Atlanta Gift Show. She was way cuddly. My mom and Chels on the other side of the bus. Chelsea why are you holding pineapples instead of diet cokes?This is me dancing around with all the new clothes I got at the gift show. Yes I will be wearing them all at once. Consider you warned.
Ces wanted to join in on all the new clothes dancing. Her dress is tie dye for!
Chelsea wasn't in her new clothes but she really wanted to dance. Ahh sisters.

And last but not least... This weekend was my Lil' Devy's birthday! The big 2-3! I was unfortunately not there on the actual day but I did get to go to lunch with his office today and they surprised him with a peanut butter cheesecake. It was delish! Look at him, all growns up!

And that is my few weeks in a nutshell. Ta da!!!

Blogging Blogging Blogging. Ack!

Oh man.. I am terrible at blogging yo. I can't figure this thing out! But I'm gonna try because I have so many pics and sweet videos! Here we go... First off, let's talk about dying hair. It has been a hot item in my fam for weeks! Me, my sisters, my bro-in-law, and my dad all dyed their hair. Yes, my dad. Here are pics to prove...

We were really cautious. Hence all the towels.

Stone was a lil hesitant. He was all "I don't think I like this."

But then he was totally looking forward to grandpa's new do.

And the final result is... Cool Uncle Grandpa!!!

Now here's a funny video.. We went to the zoo on Saturday but before that, we went to breakfast. Stone managed to shove a bit of sausage on his thumb and kept trying to feed Tessa with it. In this video he managed to get it in her mouth but just can't seem to get that darned sausage off him! Watch...

Alright, enough blogging for me tonight.. But wow this was like serious blogging.. I feel weird. More to come in due time.. xoxo Devy Girl (But it's really Cailey)

WE'RE TOO AWESOME!!!

Hey hey everybody! So I thought I'd update this for real instead of just putting youtube videos (they were good ones right?!) I'm going to just put pics up of mine and Devo's fam.. You could refer to these pics from my facebook or myspace or any other webpage I may have, but I'm bored at work so this is what I'm doing. I was just gonna add that thingy where you put the stick figures of who is in your family, but then I thought "hey, my family are real people.. so real photos should be used." Alright, here they are. Hoot hoot! (P.S. I may steal some pics from a few people.. don't feel robbed, feel honored for I thought they were wonderful pics.)





So this here is the Tonks'/Hernandez side of our family. Shannon, Victor, Stephanie, Danny, Sydney, Dallin, Sadie, Alexa, and Derek. Derek can do magic tricks like you wouldn't believe. I mean, obviously you wouldn't believe, it's magic.

(Devon and I are in the middle fyi)





And this is the Madsen side of the family.

Ted, Linda, Cam, Jen, McKenzie, Carter, Cole, Ashlii, Sophie, Cecily, Zach, Stone, Chelsea, Alex, Tessa, Cailey, Devon. Yes it's a big family.. And not pictured is baby Rubie who wasn't born yet and also baby Bear who I don't even think was anything yet. And no Ces isn't really naming her kid Bear, are you?? Are you???




These are mine and Devon's nieces and nephews minus two. They are, Sophie, Tessa, Mckenzie, Stone, and Carter. Oh man they are all very entertaining.










This lil one here is Sydney. Ah she's so grateful for all her presents!











And last but not least is lil Rubie booby. Her name is just Rubie, pronounced like Ruby.









Well that is our family! We sure do love them all... Anywho.. Devon really wants to write something.
Hey hey, it's Devon. I heart The Hills, Gossip Girl, ANTM, and pretty soon SYTYCD. Sports Center? What's that!?! hub bub hub bub...
You know you love me
XOXO

P.S. I haven't quite gotten this blogging thing down.. Sorry if it's not all spaced properly. My bad..
