Day 6-Celebrity Crush

Let me just preface this by saying I loved him way before he was sexiest man alive. Dreamy dreamy

Ryan Reynolds

He just is so darn cute. Plus he's funny. AND Canadian! Doesn't it seem like everyone who is worth anything is Canadian these days? It's like they are taking over...

Day 5-The Parents

Dearest and Darlingest Momsie and Popsicle....

These are my parents-Ted and Linda Madsen. I hate when people say they have the best parents ever...because they are liars. Unless you are one of my siblings-don't we have the best parents ever? I seriously love them.

We used to tell people that my dad was in the mob...and it was believable. Especially because one day he came home from work and pulled out a bunch of rubber gloves from his pockets...without saying anything. Turns out he just stole them from the dentist's office, but it was funny. My dad is hilarious-he's especially funny when he isn't trying to be funny. Pretty much every time he calls me, our conversations go like this:

Me: Hello?

Dad: Chelsea.

Me: Hey dad.

Dad: It's your dad, Ted.

He makes sure to tell me it's him, just in case my other dad is calling.

And my mom. This was when I asked her to try on a swimsuit for me...pulling it off. My mom is the best. She is super fun and funny and just amazing in general. I'm glad that I got a cool mom and not a regular mom. I can't even put into words how much I love my mom. She is the smartest person I know, and I know a lot of people. All of my siblings have been able to live with my parents while they've been married, and every one of them has bragged about how awesome it was. I keep trying to convince Alex to sell our house just so we can hang out with my parents all the time. I might win...

Sophie

So this is a day late-but Happy Birthday Sophie Kate! My niece Sophie turned 7 yesterday. Can you believe she is 7 already? OMG I can't. This lil gal is so funny-have you guys met her? Seriously, Cole and Ashlii have some funny girls-I'm sure I've blogged about Sophie in the past, so refer to previous posts. But you can see how A-dorable she is...and for reals, Tessa loves her. She talks about her all the time! So Happy Birthday Sophie!!! We Love You!!!

Day 3 and 4

So I didn't blog yesterday-I was busy cookin. So day 3 was pet peeves. I'm generally not annoyed at anything...ha. That doesn't sound like me... one of my pet peeves is when people clip their nails in public. Like at work or church. Gross. I hate sitting at my desk at work and hearing that little clip clip clip...then its funny because my bro-in-law Devon hates it too, and he sits right next to me, so we sit and talk about how disgusting it is. Ugh. Gross. Save it for home people. Second, I hate when boys have long nails...especially Alex. It creeps me out. That's all I can think of, so maybe I don't have that many. Weird.

Day 4-Blog Name. Um, my blog name is my family. So yeah....nothing funny about that.

DAY 2-Fave Movies

Oh boy, have you opened a can of worms on this one...my family loves movies...seriously, loves. Our favorite past time is getting those 501 Must See Movies books and quizzing each other to see how many movies we can guess out of it. It's a-mazing. I actually suck at it, because of my love for Martin Lawrence-isn't it crazy that none of the Big Momma's House's are in those books?! And really, did you guys see Blue Streak? Classic Martin. Oh, and what about Martin!!! I know it's not a movie, but if I could get the series on DVD I would freak the freak out. Anyway, here are my favorite movies. I dwindled them down to these select few... 1: Just Friends, starring Ryan Reynolds and those other people... I love me that Ryan Reynolds. AND I love Anna Faris. Especially in this movie. I watch it once a month, just because I love everything that they say in it. I mean everything. I find that I quote it often. I met someone named Clark a few years ago (we're still friends, so if you are reading this...) and I almost died I was so excited to say "Your name's are Clark and Darla?" Except his wife isn't name Darla. Ruined my life.

2: A Nightmare on Elm Street-see my previous post. I love scary movies. And Johnny Depp is in it. Spoiler: he dies.

3: Monster Squad. Have you guys seen this? It's great. I watch it all two times I have babies...something about it calms me. And it is hilarious. Tessa also enjoys it. And I think my nephew does too-he loves a lot of scary things, on account of his mom makes him watch Cujo so they don't have to buy a dog. You know who you are...Cecily. But if you guys wanna see a 4 year old rock a zombie impression, head over to Stone's house. He has slo-mo down to a science.

4: Heavyweights. Ben Stiller at his finest. Seriously, it's his best performance. And who doesn't love fat kids? If you don't, you are un-American.

5: GalaxyQuest. Tim Allen has a direct line to my funny bone. He just gets me.

6: Billy Elliot. Am I embarrassed that this is the only serious movie in my list? No. Because this movie is so great, it beats out all other serious movies. I can't even talk about it without crying. Ask my sister...we had a very awkward car ride the day after I saw it...I cried the whole time almost. I can't even write about it now, because I'm tearing up. I just love it so much. At the end when his family comes to support him?...It's great. Watch it.

That's it!

Don't Call It A Comeback...

...Cuz I've been here for years. Seriously, someone is blogging!!! So my sister started doing this today. And she's funny, so you can look at it. Plus her blog's not private because she loves sharing her life with all the weirdo's and pervies out there. So I'm gonna do it too, because apparently it's the new thing to do. I thought it was swinging, so I'm glad I was wrong...

So here is a recent picture-it's seriously from a few months ago, but I realize that we have no pictures of me...they are all of Tessa or Sully.

5 interesting facts about me:

1: I know a lot about X-Men. It's weird, because I'm not a total nerd and I'm kind of pretty...but I have something in my brain that has retained information about all of their powers and stuff. And I've never read a single comic...or watched any of the cartoons. I've totes seen the movies though. I love that Sir Ian McKellan.

2: I love music. I can't go a day without crying while listening to music. That sounds super lame, but I seriously just love it. It makes my blood hurt it's so great. I love singing and I'm pretty positive I could be on American Idol if I had familial support....

3: Alex can't think of anything interesting about me, which I find interesting. Someone married me for my money...

4: My favorite movies of all time are scary/horror movies. Seriously, whenever Alex wants to go on a date I ask to go see whichever scary movie is out. Our last anniversary he wanted to go to a RomCom (gay) and I chose A Haunting in Connecticut (which wasn't that great). Talk about getting into the romantic mood. Our next anniversary is going to rock because Scream 4 should be released around then. I once spent an entire summer just watching Friday the 13th movies.

5: I can't give blood because I feel like they are sucking my life out. I can actually feel the life being drained into that little tube. That's the only thing that I seriously loathe about being pregnant, is that they have to draw your blood for some tests. It sucks.

6: Alex just came up with his fact: I'm the only one that can work a DVR in our house. That's the love of my life for you...

But for reals-you push 'DVR'. That's about it...

Until tomorrow!

And we thought it was Elmo....

So turns out, Sullivan doesn't have a love for Sesame Street, like I mentioned in my previous post. It's Top Chef that he loves...

He sat for the whole hour. Or 45 minutes, because we fast forward the commercials. He's rooting for Jersey Mike, which is weird since I'm rooting for Richard Blaze. I mean, fried mayonnaise you guys? Genius.
