Katie: Katie is a singer! She loves using her voice and makes sounds like "ga-ga, da-da" and just holding out an "ahhhh". She loves to pull herself up onto her knees and is able to kind of shuffle around to move small distances. She officially has her two top teeth poking through! She gets up twice a night to have a bottle and I don't know what we've all been eating but everyone has been pooping so much each day this week! Katie loves the water and had fun in the pool. I don't know what it is about the bath but Katie smiles so big and can't stop kicking her legs in excitement when she's in the bath. She would love to play with Mary in the dirt but it is too tempting for her, she just wants to eat the dirt and it becomes a problem pretty quick. Mary: Mary was very nervous about swimming in the pool even though she was excited to play in the water. She was brave and her friends helped her play in the water and have fun. She didn't sta...

Monday morning Paul put Katie in the bed around 6 where she and I fell back to sleep. Paul went to work at 7:20 like normal. When I got up at 7 with Katie I started cleaning by starting with my closet then Mary woke up and joined us. I got the girls breakfast then finished my room. I didn't have to do the bathroom because Paul did it yesterday. I try to put Katie down but she wasn't ready for a nap yet. I took the girls outside while we watered the grass and plants. After that Katie went to sleep. I kept cleaning and Mary played. Katie woke up shortly because she had a poopy diaper. She was up for a little bit while I was still cleaning but wanted to go back to sleep. I put her down then turned on a show for Mary while I exercised. I cooked chicken and bacon for the meals for the week before Katie woke up. We played outside when Aunt Hannah FaceTimed us. Mary showed her cousins her dance outfits and Addie said she loved watching Mary dance and told us she just sig...

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...

Monday was Memorial Day. I watered the grass and Paul made the most delicious scones for breakfast. We drove out past Fallon to Sand Mountain. I thought it would be fun for the girls to get to play in the sand, which was so soft and really nice, but we didn't realize that the thing to do there was to ride on 4 wheelers and other recreational vehicles. Luckily most people there were packing up and heading home, so we did still get to play in the sand but only stayed for an hour. We didn't want to get sand all over our phones or take extra stuff, so I didn't get any pictures of the girls there. We drove toward Fallon and stopped at Grimes Point. Katie fell asleep in the car, so Paul stayed with her and I took Mary on the very short trail to look at petroglyphs. We came here two years ago, it was nice to come back and was the perfect activity for Mary. She loved climbing and jumping on the rocks and the trail was the perfect length. We convinced Mary to leave the sand...
