Katie loved giving hugs to BrinLey when we played with them at the church. She loves to say "apple". She also makes a little "rawr" when Mary is playing dinosaurs, it is so cute.
Mary: Whenever Mary sees a whirlpool or similar she shouts, "Tomato!" (tornado).
Mom got her three days of running in. After her Saturday run she noticed more bruises on her right leg again. Apparently overworking the muscle can cause bruising? Interesting that it's only happening to one leg.
Dad had a good week of studying and reaching his goals. We are very proud of him!

Monday I taught violin in the evening. Tuesday Mary had her tumbling class. Wednesday we went grocery shopping and I got some things from the dollar store for the Valentine's party Lindsay and I are throwing together in a couple of weeks.
Thursday we went to the exercise class. We had a little goodbye party after to say goodbye to Jessica and Addie Allen. They are moving to Anaheim for their next work assignment. We are going to miss them. I went to mutual that night. It was the emblems of belonging activity where we welcomed the new young men and young women into the program. We split up the parents and youth for the second half of the activity and I gave a little talk about supporting goals our youth set.
Friday I took the girls to the library and we played outside in the afternoon. I'm grateful it was warmer this week. Saturday I taught violin in the afternoon. We rented Wicked and Wicked: For Good from the library and watched them as a family over the weekend. Sunday we had a good meeting at church. Mary loved primary and her teacher told me she was very well behaved and so sweet.

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...
