Josh's Training

Josh's days consist of about 18hours of training in a classroom, on the boats or in the field and it is a 6-day week. He's getting worn out and is ready for a break, which is much deserved for this weekend (President's Day weekend). He still can't tell me where he's going or when. I'm not sure if he even knows when he's coming back, but we're looking forward to be able to choose our new orders in the upcoming months. Who knows where we will be going next year with these new orders... Here are a few pictures of Josh during his field training... I'll keep you posted!

Our Adjustment

So, we're getting into a groove with being in Texas and living back at home with my mom. I am having very little luck finding a job so I'm enjoying my time at home with the kids. Josh is doing well with training and is currently still stateside. I am still in the dark of when or where he's going which is a little irritating, but it comes with being part of the military. His days are very long, so he's very worn out. The kids and I, as well as Leslie (mother-in-law) are planning to make a trip to see him early next month. I can't wait for the kids to see him!! Landin is missing his daddy so much. We're adjusting as best as we can. I'm looking to put Landin in a part-time preschool/daycare to keep him on track with learning and socializing. Otherwise, we're just enjoying being at home, but going crazy not having Josh here. More news to come...

Don't Mess With the Cook's Buns!!!

This picture is just too cute not to share! Landin helped wash dishes and make dinner tonight. For Christmas, he got a little chef outfit so he wore that during this whole production. He was too cute!!! All of this was done with no pants on, so it was just that much cuter! These pictures will definitely be something to torture him with in his future!!!

My Sweet Ashlynn

My sweet little Ashlynn is 4 months old...where did the time go? She has grown so much even in the last month. Ashlynn is now smiling all the time, she's started having cereal in her bottles at night and cereal on a spoon in the mornings. She's also grasping for objects and holding onto them successfully. She's starting to giggle, but nothing major yet. One of the sad things though is that she came down with her first cold recently. Otherwise, she is doing well. We have her checkup tomorrow, however when I took her to the doctor for her cold, I learned that she is now 18lbs and 25 inches long. She's a growing little girl!!!
