Country Jam '08

Marty and I were the rookies of Country Jam this year. Some of our friends have been going since high school. This year it was our great group of friends that made the trip (10 of us). Country Jam... 4 days out in the hot, hot sun of Mack Colorado, going to awesome concerts, and hanging with good friends. It is quite the spectacle! We saw some really great concerts... Diamond Rio, Clay Walker, Josh Turner, and Tim Mcgraw. Clay Walker was the best show of the weekend! Slide on down and check out our pictures (some of them crazy) from Country Jam.

The endless field of pop up campers and RV's... that's a lot of generators.


Our camp. Yes we had a pool at our camp. We had to keep cool some how.


We luv ya Jared!


The infamous game of bean bag. We all love this game!


The gang, minus Brenda and Jared, where are you two? Oh wait, Brenda is taking the pic, so just Jared is missing. That is no surprise!


The hotties:)

Just A Regular Day In Colorado

Marty and I out for a hike this past Sunday. We absolutely love where we live! It is so fantastic to go for an amazing hike when the feeling strikes us.


Our friends Brandi and Mike, and their pup Koda.


Capital Peak (14,130 ft.) in Snowmass Colorado.



Our cousin Michelle came to visit for the weekend. We (Marty and I, Howard my father in law, Corey, Michelle, and Corey's girlfriend) all went up Mushroom Rock for a hike. Mushroom Rock overlooks our town of Carbondale. Marty likes to call it Engagement Rock (yes, this is the place he proposed over a year ago).

Ahhh...Summer Is Here!

Our summer is going great so far, fast, but great! Marty is working at Camp Run-a-muck and I am doing an outdoor adventure camp with some kindergarten and first graders. I had a fantastic start to my summer. Sara flew into Aspen on my birthday and stayed for a week. We had a ton of fun, lots of best friend time which was very needed!


While Sara was here, we went camping and mountain biking for a couple days in Fruita, CO.





June is a very busy month for the Madsen's...Marty's birthday, my birthday and then our anniversary. This year our anniversary fell on the week Sara was here to visit. We were actually camping and biking on our anniversary. Some may think yuck, but that is something we enjoy.

Happy 1st Anniversary!
The place we were biking on our anniversary was actually where Marty and I had our first date.
