Katie: I handed Katie a flashlight and she said, "here-ya-go!" She can also say "stop" and "what is it?"
Mary said this week, "I told ya! Hedgehogs don’t bite!" I was singing and she said, "Mom, be quiet." She keeps me humble.
Mom went to the tri-ward RS activity where we did a gift exchange and got Sommer Powelson's gift. It was fish and chips: a bag of potato chips and a live beta fish! ShaLay Gochenour switched with me, so I took home some pot holders.
Dad was in Japan this week. He went to Tokyo for the first time and saw the Imperial Palace. He walked 10 miles one day and got a really gnarly blister. He got to look around Shibuya as well. He said the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

Monday morning we had Josie and Jack over. After they left we went to Grimes Point for a couple of hours, playing in the rocks and sand. We grabbed some lunch and went home. We watched a movie while Katie napped and I fell asleep as well! I taught violin that night then Nana and I put the girls to bed. That night I recorded some stories on Yoto and read my color analysis book and did some of my color course.
Tuesday we had breakfast together then went to the park before Nana started her drive home. It was so much fun having her stay with us! Mary stayed in the doorway until she couldn't see her Nana anymore. I took Mary to dance soon after that. Katie and I played at the park while she danced.
Wednesday I took the girls to Arielle Tomlinson's house while I went to the dentist. They ordered the wrong thing so I have to go back in 3 more weeks to get the right night guard. I picked the girls up and met up with our friends at the park. Lindsay, ShaLay, Penelope, Arielle, and a couple of other moms were there.
Thursday we went to the exercise class. It was very warm so we came home and the girls played in the water in the shark pool in the backyard. Friday we went to the tri-ward RS activity. The girls played in the nursery while I participated in the activity. We had dinner and did a gift exchange.
Saturday I took the girls to the Durocher's while I taught violin. We picked Dad up from the airport that night. We sure missed him! He brought home so many fun gifts for all of us. Sunday we had church and I wore a beautiful Japanese hairpin.

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...
