more this and that

This is  totally Millie and Ziva, so funny.  When they go out together Z comes back a mess every time and Millie just tip toes through the tulips and comes back with a little dew on her paws.  It cracks me up.

This morning I went to scripture study group, although this time we only read one chapter and spent  a lot of time talking, they were gospel centered converstations.  Then we went to Okada for lunch, it was Jodie's birthday on Wednesday.  I think we had 20 people there, which usually is too many to really get to visit but they have nicely shaped seating so it was okay.

After school both E and G went to play with friends.  They like to roam around the neighborhood and play soccer and eat snacks at every house (the boys).  The girls stayed here and taught Z tricks.

Pete and Katherine came over tonight to HT us.  I made homemade oreos, for the first time ever.  Val makes them all the time and they were so good.  R said it was one of his favs now.
