Katie likes to dance to Golden by Huntr/x. When it comes on she squeals excitedly, waves her arms, and kicks her legs. Katie also loves to color now.
Mary doesn't quite know how to swallow her spit quietly so she will occasionally make loud slurping sounds.
Mom looked into doing some classes with color analysis this week. I got discouraged and haven't done much with it until this week and hope to be more consistent.
Dad had a great week with his nutrition goals and exercising goals. He fasted for 36 hours over the weekend! Fasting for that long is called a Monk fast, after Tibetan Monk practices.

Monday I went for a run and cleaned up the house before Jack and Josie came over. Dad went to work but felt like he really needed to support his coworker Maria at her husband's funeral. He came home and worked a little before going to the funeral. Fangfu and Nina also went. Maria was very grateful they came, she was worried no one from work would be there. Her husband died of cancer. Dad went straight to work after. I taught violin that night.
Tuesday Mary had her tumbling class. Katie and I played at In-Town park while we waited for her. We took dinner to the Whisler's who just had their baby boy, Ender. That night I went to the combined RS/YW activity at Lindsay's house. We went in our pjs and decorated journals (PJS: prayer journal, scriptures).
Wednesday we went to the park with friends. ShaLay, Penelope, and Arielle all came. ShaLay and I stayed the longest, as usual. That night I took dinner to the Del Peloso's, Paula's dad just died of colon cancer.
Thursday we went to the exercise class. That afternoon I met up with Debbie and we visited Virginia Comish. Her niece attempted suicide and she reached out for prayers for her sister's family.
Friday I took the girls to the library. Mary was interested in the books and Katie liked their toys and games. We checked out a DVD of Scooby-Doo and Batman and Robin vintage cartoons.
Saturday I met up with Naomi Storey to play tennis. She won 7-5, it was so much fun and the weather was much nicer than last time. I taught violin in the afternoon.
Sunday I went to ward council then I was a sub in Mary's primary class where we talked about how obedience brings us closer to Christ. The girls have enjoyed the warmer weather this week and have been outside as much as possible.

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...
