Katie loves to say, "no way!" Jack Durocher is her favorite person. Whenever I tell her we're going to see Jack, she gets her shoes and waits excitedly by the door for us to be ready.
Mary said, "Is that so?" when I was talking to her this week. She loves to say, "I told you!" Lydia finished school this week and came over to our house on Friday. Mary was so excited to see her friend again. Mary practiced reading and writing every day this week.
Mom posted 3 more videos this week on social media. They did okay but she has more ideas for this next week and will hopefully get ahead of it a bit more. She walked 4 nights this week and did 3 days of weights.
Dad is really honing his health goals. He successfully completed his second 36 hour fast this week and is taking pictures and videos to document his health journey. He figured out a way to do rows using the bench and the bar, which he is excited about.

Monday was a normal day of cleaning the house and getting set up for the week. I'm taking a break from teaching violin for the summer. Tuesday I took the girls to dance and read my library book while I waited for them. Wednesday we went to the park with Penny Galloway. I didn't know she was coming so we only saw her for about 20 minutes before they had to go. Megan and Caitlyn from the homeschool group came but they talked mostly to each other. There was a little boy there with his grandpa and he and Mary got along great running and playing with his Buzz Lightyear toy.
Thursday the exercise class was cancelled so I did some yard work. We still went to the church so I could practice the piano for the baptism on Saturday. I practiced the violin that night, after mutual. Friday we woke up to a 4.5 magnitude earthquake. The Gochenour's came over in the afternoon so ShaLay and I could work on painting my desk. Lydia is done with school now and Mary has been so looking forward to seeing her. They had so much fun playing together.
Saturday I played the piano and violin at Lizzy's, my violin student, baptism. I played piano mostly but I didn't know Gethsemane on the piano so I asked the primary pianist to play it and I played it on the violin for the closing song. Lizzy's mom had asked me to play violin too, if I wanted, so I thought that was a good way to fit it all in. It was very warm this week, high 80's to mid 90's, so the girls played in the sprinkler almost every afternoon this week. They loved running through the water in the grass then we would put it under the trampoline. It was so fun!

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...
