Heavenly Evan Is Seven….

On November 9, 2005 in the early afternoon this sweet little baby girl came from heaven to grace our home.  Her parents named her Evan Makell Madsen.

I have always called her Heavenly Evan as I have felt that she was a gift sent to us from heaven by Grandma Harvey.

Evan has always been such a happy girl and brought joy into our lives.  When Evan was little, she would love to come to our house and stay for several days at a time.  Mommy would pack her backpack with several days worth of clothes because we did not know how long she would want to stay.

We always had to bake cookies when she came…

Our camping trip to Hyrum Lake was so much fun..

Here are some of our favorite times with Evan…

Happy Birthday sweet Evan.  We love you and hope that this is a very special birthday for you.  Love you more than you will ever know.

Oversized Hummingbird….

This morning I was sitting at my desk and looked out the window to find this woodpecker drinking from my hummingbird feeder.  His beak fit perfectly into the hole to partake of the sweet nectar inside.  It looked like he was holding on for dear life the way his body was curved under the feeder.

We get so many birds of different species here and they love the two trees that we have in our yard.  There are several hummingbirds that come to the feeder and I am enjoying the singing from the birds that is heard all day long. 

New Car for the Madsen’s

Early in October we purchased a new car.  It is a 2003 Buick Century.  This car is pretty roomy and looks like both our parents LaSabre’s that they had. 

We enjoy the car and are glad that we were able to find one in our price range with lower mileage.  The saddest thing about getting the new car was getting rid of our faithful white truck.  It is really missed, but we have tons of memories and pictures of fun times with it.
