Madsen Madness

We have been in Salt lake visiting family every weekend so far this month. Last weekend we went down for Josh Madsen's mission farwell. I love ALL of my brother-in-laws, but Josh is, and always has been one of my favorites. He is such a sweet, fun and handsome kid. We are going to miss him so much, but we are so happy he has prepared and been called to serve a mission in Atlanta Georgia. Our weekend was crazy busy. On saturday we met up with our extended family to take family pictures, and then we were up late into the night trying to finish decorating, and getting things ready for Josh's farewell. I was running around with my mother-in-law putting all the finishing touches on things; while Justin and his dad were busy slaving away over a hot stove in the kitchen. I had to snap a picture when I came in the kitchen a found them both in aprons trying to prepare the Sunday roast.Sunday afternoon was filled with family, friends, food, and fun. My in-laws worked hard to make the day special for Josh, and it really turned out so nice. Josh did an excellent job on his talk, and bore a powerful and sincere testimony. I was so grateful to be there to hear it. Later that evening after things had setteled down a bit we just hung around, goofed off, and enjoyed spending time with Josh before he heads out on the mish. Miley's Favorite Missionary This was the last time all six brother's will be together for a few years. We love you Josh! Knock 'em dead!

Tim and I were sad that we missed it. We didn't get the announcement until Monday (the day after the big event). The Madsen's do know how tho throw a successful bash that's for sure. I love the new family photo. You all look dashing!!
