Well I did it!

I quit my job! Last Thursday I put in my notice and it was announced this morning in our meeting! My last day is May 9th!! I have been with Compass Bank for 6 years so it was weird putting in my notice. I will be sad to leave (I know that sounds weird) but I am so excited to stay home with Ashlyn. This is the best thing for our family! Our plan has always been for me to stay home with our kids so now I will be home with this little girl!

Then on Saturday, Rocky got upgraded at his job!! Which was expecially exciting for me since I had just quit my job two days before!:) But I am so happy for Rocky, he really wanted this promotion! He broke the company record for shortest time between getting hired and the highest promotion available. He did it in under 5 months and the old record was 8! I think he is more excited about breaking the record than the actual promotion:)

Ashlyn's 4 month checkup!

Ashlyn is growing way too fast! She weighs 16lbs 1oz and is 26 inches long. She is in the 86th percentile for weight, 93rd percentile for height and 36 percentile for head size, she has a little head:) She moved up the charts compared to her last checkup. I was hearbroken when the nurse told me how much she weighed, I had her weigh Ashlyn again just to make sure. I don't know why it hit me so hard but I was kinda sad all day. I guess I didn't anticipate her being 16 lbs, it sounds so big I couldn't hardly believe it.

We take a picture of her every month with this care bear to show how much she has grown, I got the idea from Angela Barba. These two pics are at birth and four months.

Here are some pics of her at four months old!


My favorite is when she is just waking up, she is so cute.


She loves her feet lately


My sleeping angel!

Rocky is a Pilot Again!!

I took Ashlyn out to Goodyear Airport to visit Rocky at work. Rocky trains airline pilots for a European flight school based in Goodyear, AZ. It has been so great having Rocky flying again. He was definitely missing flying and the company he works for is a really good company!


This is a Piper Warrior. This is the single engine plane that he trains in, we didn't get a picture of the multi engine plane.


Ashlyn staring at all the gages!


Rocky is determined that our kids will love to fly!



These next few pics are in the flight simulator. It is crazy how real it feels in there.




This is kind of a weird picture. I am standing in the back of the simulator and there is a huge 190 degree wrap around screen that is 14 feet tall, very huge! Whenever the screen shows you are turning it really makes you feel like you are turning even though the simulator doesn't move. I almost fell over when I was standing in the back! Then when I was sitting next to Rocky I kept asking him if he was sure the sim wasn't moving. It is such a crazy feeling.



This is us with all eight of Rocky's students at P.F Changs! I wish I had a better picture since you can't really see Frederik but for those of you who are counting, there are eight students in the pic! They are all so fun to hang out with! We will miss them when they go back to Europe!

Rocky and Lori Ann came to visit!

Rocky's parents came to visit for a week! We did a lot of fun things while they were here and Ashlyn got to hang out with her grandparents!


Grandma Lori Ann and Ashlyn.


Here we are at Famous Daves, I had never been there before but it was so good! I think I am addicted now!


We got Ashlyn a new swimsuit, it looks so dang cute on here! It does have a little top but we didn't have it with us, I will have to post a picture of her with it on. I know you are checking out Ashlyn's thighs, they are my most favorite!


Ashyln has a small head so even the smallest hats are too big for her.


I love this face:)


Here we all are at Garcias. Josh, Priscila, Maizey and Isabella came with us! I'm sad Josh is taking the picture so he is not in it.


Grandpa Rocky feeding Ashlyn at Garcias. Right when he handed her back to me she thru up her whole feeding on me! He was so relieved that he gave her back when he did:)

Aunt Cristy came to visit!

My sister came and stayed with us for four days. She is in the masters program at Southern Utah University so she is really busy and we don't get to see each other enough. We mostly just hung out at my house and made nightly runs to Sonic to get ice cream!:-) Cristy is really crafty so she helped me get started on some little projects that I have for Ashlyn and she gave me some good ideas of how to put a simple scrapbook together. Good thing for talented family members!
