Here are some recent pictures i thought i'd share. We've had quite the past couple of weeks. We were able to spend some time with Zach and Allison which was a lot of fun. They came down to have another interview at Baylor? I think, but it was very nice to have Allison this time around. We were also able to go to Pirate Days in the Colony, which wasn't too exciting. Jordon was scared the first half hour or more and the time he started to have fun was when we went to the little kids park, had a snack, and let him run around. Oh well, it was fun to have a nice little outing anyways. We stayed for about an hour and went home to put him down for his nap.

Jordon has been teething a lot lately, still working on his eye teeth and the last 2 bottom teeth. Yesterday it took him almost 2 hours to fall asleep for his nap when it is usually only 20 minutes max. I don't know if he senses a time change coming or if he's just not willing to go to bed that well. lately he has been falling asleep at 9 pm even though i put him to bed at 7:45. i hope he senses the time change and will go back to his falling asleep at 8 or 8:30. i'm not looking forward to the time change one bit. Stake Conference happens to fall on that sunday and it is the 1-3
session. i guess it'll prepare us for the 1-4 church next year. uggh! for those of you that have your kids on 2 naps a day, treasure it, i miss those days cause at least if the baby doesn't take a good first nap, you know you can put them down again later, but with jordon he only goes down once, no matter how short of a nap. so sundays are always rough. if he sleeps at church, he's a zombie the rest of the day and goes to bed early, if he makes it through nursery he takes a good nap later but so grumpy you still put him to bed pretty early.

We have also invested in some cloth diapers, we got the diapers last week or so, but haven't started using them quite yet. We installed a diaper sprayer this weekend, fixed our washer machine so it has a cold rinse cycle now! Apparently we had the hoses connected wrong, we just switched them, so now we have both cold and hot water. before it was just hot and only hot. We have the right detergent, and all we need now is the wet bags to store them between washes. We are excited about our decision, it not only will help our budget, but we feel good that we aren't filling landfills. It will be quite a change but i think it will be the best in the long run. We bought ours off of Ebay from a candian company, Kidalog. They have been doing cloth diapers for 25 years and these diapers are supposed to last 2 1/2 years or more. We'll let you know how we like them.

I am also in the process of planning a baby shower for a visiting teachee in the ward along with my visiting teaching companion. I've never pulled one off before, but i hope it turns out well and that the lady feels special. She has 2 boys and she is expecting a girl. It should be a lot of fun.

Chris is at the Stake Roadshow tonight with the youth and so he won't be back until later tonight. I thought i'd update you all, sorry for the long epistle. HOpe everyone is doing well, take care, and remember to always have fun!
