August 3-9

Wednesday was our anniversary. We got La Fiesta for dinner after I spent the day deep cleaning the house in preparation for our trip to Utah. Thursday we went to the church for the weekly exercise class. Friday we dropped Paul's car off at the Reno airport and drove to Grandma Wendy's house. We had Red Iguana for dinner and fun hanging out with the Roberts. Saturday we went to Layton for Emily and Carson's wedding. Then we went to Millcreek for the luncheon and reception. I took Dad to the airport before the reception. The girls were sad to see him go. We forgot to make sure he had his car key and he got to Reno and didn't have it. He called his friend/coworker, Kieran, who lives by the airport. He picked Dad up, drove him to Fernley to get his other key, then drove him back to the airport to pick up the car. Dad got back home at 1 am. Sunday we went to church with Wendy then went back to her home. She made bacon and hashbrowns and I made 30 waffles! It took two hours. We then made teriyaki chicken kabobs for dinner. We left a little earlier than we would have because Wendy's AC went out. Mary said some funny things this week like, "I totally forgot!" and, "I want my dad to come back to nana’s house. I just miss him, I really do."

Katie turned one on Saturday! She has twelve teeth right now, all eight of her incisors and four molars. She can stand for a few seconds before falling and she can move her feet pretty quickly when she's holding on to something. Mary would finish her applesauce pouch then fill it with air and pretend it was a musical instrument. She called it a choppecher/ troppecher. She is getting better at reading. She asks me throughout the day about letters in the words she sees and says. I didn't garden as much this week because we had a ton of mosquitos. We all got eaten alive at the beginning of the week and avoided being outside the rest of the week. Dad is feeling better about work this week. Things still happen that make him mad but he is seeing more of the good and choosing to be grateful. He works so hard and I'm very proud of everything he's accomplished. Monday the Durocher's came over to play. Tuesday Mary had her tumbling class. Wednesday night I went to mutual. I t...

Monday was Labor Day so Paul got to stay home from work. We went for a walk to Green Valley Park and went to Lowe's in the afternoon to get soil and mulch. Tuesday I went to the dentist for a cleaning and finally got my new retainer. Jessica watched Mary and Katie for me then we saw them again at noon when Mary and Addie had dance class together. Paul came home early to find his wallet, it was in the car between the seat and the middle console. He's been stressed about work so he decided to take off next week. Wednesday I seeded the grass then we went to Ponderosa park with friends. Thursday we went to the church for the exercise class and Lindsay taught rev+flow. Friday Paul took the Honda to the dealership because it was giving us a notification about the airbags. He spent all day there and they were no help at all. He had a work dinner that night to say goodbye to his technician, David. Saturday I played tennis with Stuart Tomlinson and Aaron Jacobson. Later I taught my firs...

Katie liked making certain sounds week to week. Last week it was ts, ts, ts. This week was ma, ma, ma. She also did it while pressing her hand to her mouth then pushing her hand away with the "a" sound. Mary playing: “Don’t do this daddy, don’t do this. Rawr rawr rawr” “I have to do this. Rawr rawr rawr. It’s my house. Rawr” Monday I deep cleaned the house and taught violin in the evening to a 6 year old named Amelia. Tuesday I set up the office for Andy to sleep there and the guest room for Wendy. Mary had dance class in the afternoon. Wendy got to us around 7 pm and had dinner with us. I put Katie to bed then Wendy got a little game out and we played that in Grandma's room and we all talked together. Wendy helped me put Mary to bed. Andy didn't end up coming. Wednesday morning, around 3 am, Mary climbed into bed with us. 5 am Katie woke up. We gave her a bottle and she went back to sleep. We left just after 6 and Dad dropped me off at the airport before going to wor...
