Can you find Madison in this picture?
As I was packing up to leave my cousin's house, my other cousin's little girl started helping me pack up Madison. She added some stuffed animals and the entire contents of a tool box before we noticed. Thanks Brin. It was so cute that I had to take a picture and have a good laugh. Madison just sat there and took it the whole time she was getting buried alive! It was pretty funny! If you look closely at the picture it looks like she is screaming for help!
Michael's Loves
We went to my cousins house to play last week and had quite a time. Michael came home with two new loves as a result. The first was a battery powered Jeep. Michael loved driving that thing around, and most importantly that he could do it himself. There were lots of tears when it came time to taking turns. 
Michael "off roading".
The second love and MOST important, THE drill. While playing inside he found a toy drill that makes noise and moves when you hold the handle. Power tool and noise, need I say more? The toy spent the rest of the day by his side. He loved it (that is a huge understatement). The kids were jumping on the trampoline and Michael wanted to go on. I told him that he would have to leave his drill off the tramp or someone would get hurt. This led to a fiasco. While on the tramp Michael would cry because he wanted the drill. While on the ground with the drill he would cry because he wanted to be on the tramp. I finally gave in and let him be on the tramp with the drill (sorry Kim and Sarah).

Watch out for the drill!
Needless to say, the drill came home with us thanks to the kindness of my cousin. And although he has mellowed out about it a little bit and he isn't crying anymore because he has to put it down to eat, it is still the first thing he asks for after his nap and when he wakes up in the morning. Michael always has so much fun at the Conants, and with such fun stuff and friends to play with, how could he not?

Michael's Shadow
Madison has joined the ranks that Michael has paved the way for. . . She is officially a thumb sucker (and good at it too). She turns her nose up at the binky and pops in her thumb. Well, what can you do?!
Our House
This is for you Natalie (and Nicollette). You asked me to send pictures of our house a while back, well, here they are. We just planted five trees in our yard so it won't be so bare anymore.
Halloween Decor
I am so excited that we have a house, one reason being that now we have space and I can decorate for the holidays!!!
WASHINGTON!!!
I drove (yes, drove) to Washington to stay with my sisters kids while she went to pack up their home in New Jersey. They have lived far away most of their lives, so I have rarely gotten to see them and it was such a treat to get to spend a week with them. Washington was BEAUTIFUL, but definately very rainy. I wish I would have gotten some pictures of the landscape (maybe next time I visit)! Now we just need to get my sister Natalie and her family to move back to Utah and then we will all be in the Western US.
Britney and Madison were inseperable the whole time. Brit was a huge help and loved to hold Madison all the time!
Noah was pretty fond of her too! (When I was leaving to come home he asked me to leave Madison there!)
Noah's typical day was spent playing on the computer. Webkinz is a huge favorite of his!
Britney spent most of her time cheering!
Madison loved all the attention that she got!
Michael loved running around getting into as much trouble as he possibly could.
I will miss them a lot and I am already looking forward to when I get to see them again!

Fun With Stickers
Michael loves playing in the craft room (but most often likes to decorate anything but paper)!
Cutest Kids
Michael always makes me smile! He is always happy (even with his huge blood blister on his lip). I love him so much.
