Happy 60th Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa!

On Saturday my Grandpa and Grandma Alexander celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary!!! A lot of the family got together and were able to celebrate with them. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone, even if it was just for a day!

The decorations were simple, but so pretty. My mom always does a good job.

Some of the kids playing football. The adult doesn't step in until Miss Peyton decides to join in.

Here are the two princesses of the party! Peyton and Avery are always dressing up.

My mom and dad:

Coby and me:

Christian, Kara, and baby Brighton:

These last two are pictures from my Grandma's birthday last year, but I love them!

Trent's proposal

If you missed it on TV, here is the video Coby's dad took of the proposal. Make sure and watch the 2nd set of dunks. Trent flips way too close to the hoop and gets his leg stuck in the hoop! (pre-proposal jitters...jk) Anyway, this is pretty neat to have.

CONGRATULATIONS TRENT AND RINDY!!!

Tonight all of us Madsen's went to the Suns game to watch Coby's older brother Trent propose to his girlfriend Rindy. They are both on the dunk team with Coby so it was lots of fun. Like us, they met at the Suns too so it was pretty neat. Trent decided to propose during their dunk routine. I was pretty far away and had my zoom lens on trying to get as close as I could, but they still aren't very good. They are better than nothing, so here are some pictures from the proposal:

There was a sign that Coby and KoKo held up and Trent was going to "run and jump over it" but he paused, had them flip the sign around, and it said:

I was trying to move so this one of her first walking over to him is super blurry, but if you squint you can see how cute her reaction was.

SHE SAID YES!!!!

Everyone was standing and cheering for them. It was SO loud!

Pretty neat way to get proposed to.

Congrats Trent and Rindy!

We are excited to have Rindy in our family now.

WINNERS!!!!!

OK, Giveaways are no fun!!! I totally feel guilty for not giving something to everyone who pulled the, "I really want this" or "I really need a photo shoot"!

But I really can't give away THAT many shoots! If any of you are still interested in a shoot, even if it isn't free email me and we'll have a great time. But...

YOU DID MAKE IT OVER 100!!!

I wanted to give 2 away anyway, but my husband made me promise to make everyone work for it. I think that was his input for me making him wear WAY too many items of clothing at once.

(Even if some of you fudged a couple of them and did over 4 comments)

Are you guys done having me ramble on and not mentioning any winners?
