Back again!

So for an update, we moved into some new apartments and we really like it! Not only is it WAY cheaper but we really like the people here, there is diffidently a family feel here. Also most of the people living in the complex are members! The move in itself was a little rough on Jada, poor baby got ignored for 2 days! and she made up for that by not sleep at all for the first little bit. But she is liking it a whole lot more, especially cause she can see out the sliding door at all the little kids playing on the playground, she thinks it's great! She's moving right along, is sooo close to walking she can hardly stand it! She will NOT, however, eat her baby food! She absolutely refuses to, so right now her diet consists of crackers, puffs (cheerios made for babies) crackers, crackers, crackers and what ever she can get me and Daniel to give her off our plates. She has developed a particular liking to french fries! She bites off the end, spits it out, eats the soft insides and leaves a soggy outside on her tray! I think she just likes the salt personally, so once that's gone she just spits it out and moves to the next one!

Daniel is also moving right along, in classes though. He always has some story or other to tell, about his classmates or the teachers, but he likes it ALLOT! In our new ward, Daniel is the odd man out because the ward is filled with Chiropractic students, there are 3, including Daniel, who are not. And of course there's the friendly banter that goes along with that, but all in all we REALLY like our new ward!

I spend my days cleaning up after Jada (not a big change there) On sunny days we go out and play on the swings for hours, Jada LOVES the swings, and of course she is my biggest helper when I'm folding laundry :/ I am super excited for Halloween which is odd because I'm not really doing anything, Daniel has to work till 11:00 that night so I'll be hangin' out with Jennae and Trevor watching Halloween movies and making Halloween cupcakes, and hopefully passing out candy to trick-or-treaters. Jada is going to be a giraffe (thanks for the costume Trina!) and I'm going to be a zoo keeper!

We are all excited for thanks giving! Chelsea and Zach are stopping by on their way to Arkansas and Kathleen, Brent, Evin, Adrian and James are all going to be here (and by here I actually mean Topeka) But it'll be lots of fun- it's the first time the cousins will see each other! Carmen and Eric have been doing a KC BBQ tour of sorts with Daniel and I and so far we like Oklahoma Joe's the best, it'll be fun to go there with the Simon's! and a shout out to the rest of you- if your ever in our neck of the woods, Daniel and I would be more than willing to take you there too! I have become quite the BBQ snob, but I guess that's what happens when you live in BBQ country!

Happy Halloween to everybody!!!
