Catching up with the Conovers...

I realize that it has been a while since I have posted, so here's what we've been up to...

Todd and I had our 5 year anniversary. It was hands down my favorite anniversary so far! That night Tina helped me get ready for my date by doing my hair and make-up. My honey came home with flowers for me and took me on a date while Grandma Conover and Tina watched our kids. We had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and had a great time talking and laughing. Then we went to see Angels and Demons (I was excited to see it because I read the book). Then we came home to this...
While we were on our date, Tina and Mom hung these fun hearts above our bed. They also spread silk rose petals all over our room and white balloons and lit tea candles. It was a very romantic setting! We could tell that they put a lot of thought and effort into it, and we really appreciated it.
Jeff had seminary graduation...


...and high school graduation where it rained the entire time! We had a good time, though and we were glad we went! Congratulations, Jeff!

Todd's baby brother is the tallest one in the family, taking Todd's title.

We have fun going to Kinley's house. The kids like to play on the jumperoo with Kinley's Arial sprinkler. Ameliah thinks it's swimming and often asks me "Mom, can I have a swim?".

"Muscles!"

Somewhere amid all of this, my parents came home from their mission to Ecuador. I can't believe it, but I forgot to take pictures. It has been so fun to have them back! We have had some really fun family gatherings/parties and it feels just like old times.

We are currently in the process of moving. We had been debating whether or not to buy another house, but decided to just rent for a year while we pay off the van and our last credit card. We rented a cute 3 bedroom condo on Higley and Baseline. We have most of our stuff in and we are really enjoying it. The kids have their own rooms and love it. I put Cannon in a toddler bed and he just thinks that is so special. He actually likes his bed and his room and when I put him to bed he STAYS there ALL NIGHT! Woo-Hoo!

While I was packing the neighbors irrigation flooded the backyard and I let the kids play in it. I remember playing in the irrigation as a child and I loved it. Wasn't that the best? Here he is dancing with Jeff on the tramp. In the picture below this you can see the sogginess of his diaper. Don't worry, though, he didn't let it slow him down!

I discovered yesterday that both my kids have the chicken pox! They were both vaccinated and they both got it anyway. Cannon only has 3 pox so far and Ameliah has 2. Neither one has complained about them. The only complaint they have is that we don't get to go anywhere.

We have been so busy that I don't remember if there is anything I missed.
