Katie: Katie is pulling herself up on furniture now, she is motivated to keep up with her sister!
Mary: Mary says nap when she means map. Mary says, "I want you to stay with me, I don’t want to lose you" at night when it's time to go to bed. How can anyone say no to that??
Mom: This last week was a successful one in terms of reaching my goals. I did my ec's every day (writing, exercise, playing violin, reading scriptures, and reaching my step goal) I also tracked my calories honestly and consistently.
Dad: Dad had another rough week at work. He is meeting with his boss to make changes that will relieve the burden on his and his team's shoulders. He works so hard, we are so grateful to him and proud of him!
This week's activities: Monday Paul came home early and we planned a recurring Disney trip for our family to take in the first quarter of the year. I went to the optometrist to get my glasses fixed. Tuesday we played in the shark pool and I returned my glasses to the post office. Wednesday we played in the shark pool again in our backyard. It was a really hot day! Thursday we went to the church for the exercise class. It was just us, Rosemarie, and April with her kids, Anna and William. We did Zumba and Mary had a blast playing with Anna, William makes her a little nervous. After exercise class we went to the library and Mary got to play with paint. April came with us, so Mary kept playing with Anna. Anna is a sweet girl and is so nice to Mary. She is 13 but enjoys getting on Mary's level. Paul came home early again and I took dinner to the Gochenour's. Mary came with me and played with Lydia and EverLee while ShaLay and I talked and we got to meet baby BrynnLee. Friday we drove to Truckee and went to Donner Memorial State Park. We walked through the museum and walked a little trail. It was perfect. We went to Reno and got Five Guys for dinner then went to the mall and Mary and Katie played on the playground for a couple of hours before we drove home. Mary fell asleep in the car. Saturday I took Mary to Lydia Gochenour's birthday party. They played for four hours, playing in their pool and jumping on the trampoline. Sunday Mary and I went to church and grabbed Arby's on the way home.

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...
