Simpable Things

So the millionth annual Simpable Things was held last week-and it was K-RAZY! (That's way more crazy than if you spell it with the C). We had awesome costumes/uniforms, complete with liquid leggings. Everyone looked fierce in them-eat that Lauren Conrad! Anyway, it was way fun, as always. And no one had a melt down this time, which was nice. (Last time it was me who had the meltdown, so I know how vast the improvement was.) Here are the picto-files:

The girlies in their costumes. So hot. And yes, Ces is resting her arm on Missy's head. Those Hymas's are little.

The Madsen girls in their boots. Pulling. Them. Off.

Tessa and I. She didn't get a costume on account of her only being 2. Maybe next year!

Tessa and her new bestie Maycie Jean. They loved each other. I was really glad these two liked each other this time, because last time Maycie was a little scared of Tessa. But with good reason. Sometimes I'm scared of her!

Yes. This is my boo. And those are my boots. Alex managed to fit into the costumes that we had. AND his legs look way skinnier than mine! Jealous much?

Anyway-that's all I've got for this post. Stay tuned, there's more to come. I've gots lots.

Marathon-ed

SO. This weekend Zach (my BIL) ran the St. George Marathon. It was in St. George. So we went down to support him. Seriously, that's like a 30 miler....sounds like work, right? Well, he did a good job-I believe he finished in 4 hours. This was his first marathon. I'm pretty sure he's entering an Iron Man Competition now. Or not. We'll see. But for reals, it was amazing-I cried-I just have a lot of emotions.

This was the guy that my mom told me was Zach and I took a picture super fast, because-hello-they are running. She's a kidder. She kept pointing at guys and telling me that it was him since I had the camera. It was pretty funny of her. When she pointed at a girl I thought it had gone too far.

(I'm kidding. That never happened.)

This really was Zach. Obvi. He did his hair up so we could tell it was him.The family that came to support. Stone's making out with a popsicle. Tessa is still trying to figure out how to hold hers. Sebastian passed out. (And no, my husband did not come, but yes, we are still married. Just in case you were confused.)

It was a fun trip. In other highlights, we (Cailey, Devy, and I) went to see Zombieland. Oh. My. Best. Seriously, so funny. I'm not even kidding! That's all.

Good job Zach!

Oh my...

Mike. Since you were a upset about me not posting anything about you in Park City, here you go:

This is Mike, with a full rack of ribs. I bet you miss that, don't you Mike?

(For those who feel out of the loop-Mike has decided he doesn't eat meat anymore. I know. I don't get it either.)

Boom. Roasted.

Time Out

This past Saturday was my nephew's baptism, so the whole fam was there to support. But that's not what this post is about. (I'm very proud of Carter, but he knows that.) Now, to the point... My brother Coleman has two little girls and if you know them, you know they are hilarious. Both of them are-which is hard to find with siblings. (I should know, we only have one funny one in our family. Not including Cameron.) Anyway, when Sophie was little, she would put herself in time out, and it was the funniest thing to see. She would go put her nose against a wall and wait until Ashlii told her she was done, then she'd go on to doing whatever it was she was doing before. Welp, now Rubie does the same thing. And it is hilarious. She got put in time out at my brother's house after the baptism, and she was pissed. So I took pictures of her. She wouldn't even look at me. I think she secretly blamed me, because she was put in time out for hitting Tessa. She was mad that I was Tessa's mom. I know it. I'm sorry Rubie, but what could I do?

This was before she realized I was taking pictures of her. As soon as I bent down to get closer, she turned it off. Or on. Maybe she was trying to give me the smoldering look.

This is the moment of realization. She was pissed. The funny thing is, for about a minute I kept saying, "Rubie, Rubie, Rubie, Rubie, Rubie..." just to get her to look at me. She was deliberately ignoring me. So adorable.

And this is the family. We sure do clean up well, right? Right on. Go Madsens! (and Tonks, Smiths, and Osbornes.)

Park City

We went up to Park City this weekend with Alex's friends-really there isn't anything too exciting, except this...

Look closely. They were all dressed the same. Cowboy-esque, right? It was A-dorable!! And I told them I was running low on things to blog about, so they decided to help me out and take a picture together. Gotta love it.

And Tessa got to ride on this mini-carousel they had at the outlets. I would've gotten a picture of Emmett too, but he started crying before I could get my camera turned on. It was the cutest little face though-I really wanted to capture his pain. Maybe next time!!

Hey-Ease up on the Corduroy Dress You're Wearing

I'm sorry Cailey. I had to do it. This is my lil sis Cailey. She's seven months pregnant-and don't you forget it. I know I can't.

We made fun of her for a whole day because this dress was so tight. (Really she's only like 130 pounds, but it's fun to be fun. We just really want her to develop some type of eating disorder after she delivers the baby. At least that's the hope.)

And, have you ever seen baby bangs like this?...

It's like they are taking over her head. She's cool with it.

Girl Trip

This past weekend the girls got to go on a trip. I bet you didn't know it from my blog title right? We went with the Duncans, who are our besties pretty much. It was way fun! The trip started off a little rocky, what with my mom's car dying, us having to rent a mini van, and the holy ghost being all, "no way girls." But, it was way fun! It's always fun to get away with the girls minus children. We ate good food and did a lot of shopping-everyone got cute tights....more to come on that. But anyway, here is the proof of all of our fun:

Eating breakfast at 25 Main-it was a cute little diner/cafe thing, and there were soooo many scenesters there. (A lot of skinny jeans and suspenders) It was really yummy. Plus, there were these birds in a cage in the front, and one kept getting out and flying around, so there was not only good food, but an element of fear.

There were also really good cupcakes, that I had to feed to my sisters. Good times.The only other pictures I got were of us jumping. They are the best. This is Ashlii, testing if the jumping picture was going to work. It did.We were jumping because we all got cute new tights. Except Cessy, she was just posing. And Cailey's pregnant, so it's hard for her to get too much air.And this is Ces at Ihop. If you look really close, you can see she's strung her hair under her arm. She has really long hair. She did this for a while. It was funny.

Anywho, that's all I got. Until next time!
