Flashback Foto Friday

It's been quite a week out here.  We're coming off of a glorious 10 days with Pilot Pete home on vacation.  He headed back to work Monday, and things are slowly starting to return to normal.  Wednesday marked the first day of the last class he'll teach as an instructor out here.  Looking back at our pictures from the last three years, it's definitely bittersweet.  A lot of things have happened and changed, but we're excited to be embarking on a new phase of our lives in two months.


On a sad and sobering note, our Naval Aviation community lost two of its members in a tragic crash on Wednesday.  This is the very worst part of this life, and you never get used to it.  Please, take a moment today to remember these two outstanding officers whose loss is felt by many.  My wish is that their family and friends will find comfort in this most difficult time, and remember that their loss will never be forgotten, and will be honored always.


Here's our flashback foto - three years ago Wednesday, Pilot Pete set off for his first day of "class" at TOPGUN.  We had just moved into our rental (incidentally, we no longer live there) and Little Dude had just started rice cereal a few days earlier:

Look at my boys...time flies.

Sorry, no April Fools pictures from us, just a little boy "reading the instructions" for his "frozen meal".

It's still Friday here out West - better late than never!


I haven't been feeling very creative this week, hence the lack of posts.  Here's hoping my little mini getaway this weekend with Pilot Pete helps! 


In the meantime, enjoy a scene from our Friday night.  (I know, we're so exciting!)

He's killing me.  First, he needs to go to school.  Now this.  Stop trying to grow up!!

I sincerely hope your drive home today doesn't look like this.
Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!

As requested by C, here's the bag I scored at TJ Maxx last week!  I love the polka dot lining.

Pilot Pete has been away on a work trip.  He got back into town last night, and we were there to greet him.  Little Dude loves to visit the airport to see the planes and pick people up.  He'd spend hours there if I'd let him.   No big surprise, considering what his dad does.  One of the best parts about this crazy life of ours is the look on his face when he gets to see his dad after being separated for a time.

Ahh, pogonip...the things you experience living in Fallon.

We woke up to a winter wonderland!  I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.

It's snowing!

Foto Friday (on Saturday!)

Yesterday was a big day.  Gran and Granddad flew in from Florida.  We got a little distracted and I forgot to post.  So here is our Foto Friday, better late than never! 

Watching You Tube videos with Granddad

Fun with Dad at the end of the day.  I love the joy on his face - Little Dude sure loves his dad!

Watch out Bobby Flay, we've got a chef in the making.  He insisted on helping cook (and yes, he was totally supervised in front of the stove at all times!).

I hope you had a wonderfully happy Thanksgiving!  We had a relaxing day and shared a lovely meal with some great friends.  Happy Holidays!
