 Monday we went to the Gochenour's house for Lydia's birthday party.  Mary had a blast and loved playing "keepy uppy".  She didn't really get why she didn't get to open the presents but all the kids liked playing with the toys.  Monday through Wednesday it would be sunny and hot all day then it would rain from 6-8 in the evening.  It was awesome and we loved sitting outside enjoying the rain together.  

Tuesday I talked to Clare Schramm.  Wednesday Mary had a bad dream, so we slept in but we made it to the library in the afternoon and met up with some friends.  We got soaked when we left to go home because it rained a little earlier that day.  Thursday we went to the exercise class and Mary joined in with the moms exercising.  She was a great dancer and kept up really well!  

Friday we got up at 4 am to get Paul to the airport for his business trip to Japan.  Mary thought he was getting on a spaceship but now she says, "Daddy go on airplane?" whenever she asks to play with Paul and I have to tell her he's out of town.  I was hoping to go back to bed when we got home but Mary wasn't sleepy so we did some deep cleaning then went to the library in the afternoon where they hosted a Shakespearean group who performed A Midsummer Night's Dream.  I thought they did a good job and it was actually pretty funny.  Mary fell asleep on the way home, around 5 pm, and she slept in until 7:30 am the next day.  Paul got to Japan safely that night.

Saturday we went to the church for the Pioneer Day pancake breakfast.  We sat by the Gochenour's and some other of our friends from the weekly exercise class before we went outside for pioneer games.  They had tug of war on cinder blocks, sack races, and stick pull.  Mary tried out the games but the little girls ended up breaking away and Decorating pine cones with flowers.  After the breakfast we went to the farmer's market on the way home and we got some cupcakes and homemade jam.  Sunday I played piano for the primary and that was a lot of fun.  We ended the day with having the sister missionaries over for dinner.

Paul had a rest day the day after he got to Japan so he went with his coworkers around the Japanese countryside, a big mall area, and they got on a boat to check out some famous whirlpools!

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...
