 I took Mary to the pool this week and she had a lot of fun. A couple of people from the ward were there too and they came over and said hi. This primary age girl, Emily, loves Mary and raced over to us to say goodbye when she saw we were walking out, it was really sweet.

Thursday, Sam got home from his mission and Paul enjoyed talking to his family all afternoon. When he got off the phone we made the last minute decision to drive to North Salt Lake and see Sam in person.  We left at 9 pm and drove all night.  We got there at 5 am and slept for a few hours before we got up and drove to Rexburg, Idaho.  Matt, Hannah, and Addie were driving up and it was also Wendy, Sam, Emily, and Andy.  We were driving to Rexburg to got to Yellowstone: Bear World.  

We got to Rexburg in the afternoon and Bear World had lots of animals that you could interact with.  Mary got to pet a deer, pig, and a goat. After lunch we went to a big park that had a water park in it.  Luckily, I brought Mary's swimsuit.  Mary and Addie had fun playing together.  Then we did a Merry Go Round before heading to the AirBnB. Later that night, Matt and Hannah came with us to go see Oppenheimer.  Wendy, Sam, Emily, and Andy babysat Mary and Addie for us. We all really liked the movie.

 Congratulations to Jacob and Brianna on having their third girl! Saturday, we drove back to North Salt Lake and just hung out together.  We went to the park in the evening and Mary loved playing on the playground. She loved going up the ladder and down the slide and through the tunnel. She is developing really good coordination. Sunday was Sam's homecoming.  We saw Granny K before driving back to Fernley.

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
