sunday walk

i'm so glad we've had nice evenings that allow for long walks. we walked by the canal so the girls could throw rocks in.

i love them together.

then we walked to the playground.

kg found two lacrosse balls so we also spent time throwing them against the wall and catching them. the girls loved it. we were out for an hour and a half. it was really nice.

best. sushi. ev.er!

on friday the 4th the girls spent the night with kg's parents. kg and i enjoyed a wonderful date night. we have been wanting to try yoi tomo sushi. we've heard great things about it and i couldn't wait. well it did not disappoint. oh my freaking stars it's so good. best i've ever had. i am craving it something fierce as i type this! we started off with a salad and jalapeno bombs. wow they were good but super spicy. we also got edamame but it's not for us.
we got three rolls which were all deep fried..

mexican crunch

leaving las vegas

golden california

we both left stuffed and highly, highly recommend this place.
i then sat in the car while kg went home teaching with steven because steven's companion was unavailable. finally we finished out the night by going to see a movie, killers. it was very funny.
i really enjoyed the night alone. what i enjoyed even better was sleeping in on saturday morning. kg got up a bit earlier to go to a service project with the elders quorum. he and drew were the only ones to show up but they got a lot done. i slept till 10 am then went to work at noon. i was grateful for laura watching them that day because it was so dang busy. i did enjoy a slight conversation with sandee and jenn who brought their kids over swimming.
that evening laura dropped the girls off at red robin where we met monkey and the boys for dinner and then went to the park to play! it was a wonderful weekend!

flower started piano lessons.

on june 2nd flower started piano lessons. perfect way to start the summer. she is taking them from hilary and we are so excited to watch her progress. she is already doing a great job and is really loving it.

we've had the piano stored under the bed. we got it for a killer deal, (80% off!!!), in 2007 when we went to visit justin in arizona. a music store at the mall there was going out of business and man did we get lucky! we now have the piano set up in our room. not ideal but it's the only open spot for it!
