Father’s Day

Sunday we were able to celebrate Pete for Father’s Day!
He is working a TON of hours right now. Probably 65-68 on average.
Thankfully he is home by dinner (5:30/6:30) most nights. He just goes in early and is working 6 days a week.

Summer in Ac in Vegas is no joke.
Pete is such a great dad and so involved with these kids.
We knew when he left Cal Air and went to Yes that he would miss out on a lot of his favorite kid things. Like games and just being around. It was a sacrifice he was willing to make for our marriage and family. Hoping to provide financially better for his babies.

Even though he is around less.. he still calls the kids through the day to check in or to remind them to do their house stuff (while I’m at work also)

Pete is a great husband and dad and we’re glad we got to celebrate the amazing guy he is.

His work has a air fryer and he has been talking about it.
So we got him one and some bath and body works men lotions.

We made him chocolate chip pancakes and bacon for breakfast.
Then headed to sportsman’s warehouse to walk around.

We planned on steaks and potato dish in the air fryer but wound up stopping at Master Kiks Korean bbq (a place Pete has had on his “try as a family”)
It was delicious and expensive, but we knew it would be. Half of it is the experience!

We had a relaxing day (just what Pete wanted)

We love you dad!


(We didn’t see my dad on Father’s Day because her was traveling back from Arizona to see my moms dad- but I’m so glad we got to celebrate him earlier in the week)

Dads BBQ

We celebrated dad a little early (Thursday instead of Sunday) with a quick bbq and swimming at our house.

With only 3 days notice we got lucky that all the Vegas family could be there (Except Greg.. he was helping a man in his ward who just had surgery).

Good food and good company make for a good evening.

ALL the pool pics

Haha.. since getting the pool, we have enjoyed a TON of time out back.
Just us, family and friends!

Definitely been very happy we got it!

Phone dump of a ton of pictures I have swimming or out back.

Amber Graduates

5 years ago me and Tara and Amber went to dinner and I talked about signing back up for school to become and ultrasound tech..  well I DID do that but only got through 1 semester.
With depending on my income, going to school also and being a mom seemed way too much.

However, the next day or two after this dinner... Amber called me up and talked to me about going back to school for this.
She had never considered it but her kids were getting a little bigger and she knew she needed her next thing...  she had an Ah ha moment when I was talking and knew this was what she wanted to do.
5 years later and a lot of challenges and SHE DID IT!

I am soo damn proud of this strong girl



And then... so close to being done and Covid 19 put a halt to her internship and finals.
They got sent home not knowing what would be next.

Amber had planned a big grad party, grad pics and announcements. And then to now know.. stinks!

Anyways, after many weeks of the uknown and they brought them back for a few days to finish up.
Jordan and Debbie pulled off a quick surprise grad party!
