Madson Family

Since Corban's birthday is on Christmas day, in the dead cold of winter, we ususally celebrate his birthday in Summer. This year he has been so much in Star Wars, the Clone Wars, so that awas the theme of his party.
A cake featuring the commander of the the Clones-Rex-friends with Light Sabers came prepared for war and a "darth Vader" punch for more energy during the war.

Dedication to Elder Tanner!!

We had the honor of participating in the Birthday celebration of Elder Tanner-him and his wife served their mission in Fiji in 1978 and converted my family. They are in Brigham City Utah and we were able to go to his 90th birthday and I had the honor of making him a "cowboy theme cake".
It has s been 22 years since they brought the gospel to my families life and we owe them much. Who I am today is defined by what they did for me, that is bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to me and my family. The food was great and the family even better. They have a very large family and they all welcomed us with open arms. The cake was melting it was a very hot day and the boys, well they entertained themselve on the 2 hour long trip over.
Corban hid behind the aluminum foil sun deflector and Peyton cleaned the window with wet ones and bossed everyone around.

Bear World with Heidi

Our friend Heidi was able to come visit us again this year. We went to Bear World for a day and had a blast. We saw elk, moose, bears, mountain goat, swan, deer, wolf etc. We took a ride called "curator ride" you get to ride on a big truck, high so the bears can't reach you and got to throw food out for them to eat. As seen in the pictures in the the end of the ride they were sitting on their bums asking for more. Kids got to have a unlimited amount of rides which was the highlight of their day.
