Katie loves to say "yes!" She also says, "Ooo, what's that?" she said that when I was giving her the panda chocolate filled crackers and when we went to the Gochenour's house about their table and chairs. She also says "I stuck" many times a day. Katie loves to be outside whenever possible, but the snow was a little uncomfortable for her. She loves being read to. She grabs a book then crawls into our laps to get comfy.
Mary would say, "you are being tricky today!" when she was cross with me. She loved the snow this week. Mary loved getting hugs and kisses from Katie this week. They were very cuddly.
Mom and everyone is still getting over our sickness but we enjoyed cuddling together. I had fun at the galentine's party on Friday and the book club on Saturday.
Dad worked from home a few days this week due to the snowy weather. He has been so kind and helpful. We had fun listening to podcasts together and he helped Katie get back to sleep a couple of times this week so I could get more sleep.

Monday I taught violin in the evening. Tuesday Dad stayed home so he was with Katie when I took Mary to dance. I dropped her off then ran to the grocery store. Mary and I got lunch on the way home for all of us. It was very snowy all day. That afternoon Mary and I played in the snow and made snowballs. Wednesday ShaLay texted and invited us over in the afternoon. It was nice to get out of the house and get together with friends. That night I went to a presidency meeting at the church but I didn't stay for mutual.
Thursday we got fresh snow. We went to the exercise class. Katie was excited about the snow on the way out and ran right into it but it was very slippery, so she slipped and bonked her head pretty good. After her nap I got the girls in their coats and they played in the snow.
Friday I got everything ready for the party I was co hosting with Lindsay. I went over to her house at 5:30 and we set up the tables and put out the food. We had about 20 women come. We had yummy food and had a great time talking. Then we did a favorite things gift exchange where we gifted some of our favorite things to each other and learned some fun things about everyone that came. I gave two sets of mixing bowls with lids with a couple of my favorite recipes. I got a puzzle and chocolate from Bailey Earl then dry shampoo, lip gloss, chocolate, a necklace, and an energy drink from Nicole Hardman. I gave the energy drink away but I'm excited about what I got!
Saturday I went to Arielle Tomlinson's house for a book club she put together. We shared more snacks and then talked about books. Two of my suggestions got picked for our reading list. We have the next five months planned out. The two books I suggested that got picked are The Midnight Library and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I went home and Mary came with me when I taught violin. After that we went to the store together. Sunday we all went to church. After that we dropped off some donations to the high school.

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...
