Katie climbed onto the trampoline by herself! She liked sliding down the ramps at in-town park while Mary was in her tumbling class.
Mary was so brave at the doctor! She got three shots and didn’t cry. She followed instructions so well. Two funny things she said this week: "My brain is lost!" and "You’re going to get me killed!"
Mom: I stuck with my workout schedule for what feels like the first time this week. Running Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday; weights Tuesday and Friday; bike on Thursday.
Dad had another great week of sticking with his goals. He got a cold over the weekend and work has been frustrating this week.

Mary woke up a little sniffly Monday morning. We took her to the doctor in the afternoon for her wellness check. The shot she got on her right leg got all red and swollen but the swelling went down as the week wore on. That night I taught violin.
Tuesday Mary had dance class. It was such a beautiful day that I took Katie to the park to play. She liked sliding down the skating park ramps. I got a migraine in the afternoon and Dad came home early to help me get the rest I needed.
Thursday we went to the church for the weekly exercise class. A lot of people came this week and brought their kids. It was fun for the girls to have so many friends to play with. That night I went to mutual, it was a combined activity with both young men and young women and we only brought two games for the game night but it worked out.
Friday we went to EverLee Gochenour's birthday party. When she was blowing out her candles, she leaned over the cake and her pigtail caught on fire! One of the mom's patted it out quickly. We were all eating cake in the backyard and Katie walked over to me for a bite of cake and she tripped and face planted into our cake slice. At least it was a soft landing.
Saturday Katie woke up a lot, so I didn't go on my hour run until the evening. I ran 5.6 miles. I taught violin in the afternoon.
Sunday we didn't have youth second hour because John Bytheway spoke in Reno, so our youth carpooled over there to hear him speak.

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...
