Part 2 of Temple flowers: Tulips

 photo springtemple_tonemapped.jpg
We went back to the temple for family night to walk around the grounds and see the tulips. Even though David works there everyday, it's nice to go back with a different purpose. We were the only ones there and could really enjoy the sweet spirit that is abundant on the grounds.  photo P4228875.jpg  photo P4228894.jpg  photo P4228881.jpg  photo P4228872.jpg  photo P4228874.jpg  photo P4228864.jpg  photo P4228867.jpg  photo P4228863.jpg

Gone Fishin'

We know a wonderful couple who go to our church. Ollie is brilliant and worked for NASA and was involved in planning Neil Armstrong's Lunar landing. He also builds his own humongous telescopes and anything else you can think of. Debbie is basically a spitfire of fun. She had an unknown eye condition that caused her to go blind and now navigates life with her personality and finesse. I have never once heard her complain and am amazed at the things she accomplishes in a day. She knits, makes beautiful pottery and is the life of every party. They are kind and generous and offered to watch our kids this last weekend so David and I could attend the temple. We told the kids where they were going and they were bouncing off the walls, they were so excited. Emeline walked around the house saying, "Debbie, Debbie, Debbie". Needless to say they enjoy their time at the Deppong's house.

When we went to pick the kids up, this is the sign we were greeted with on their door.

 I thought this was so fun! We hopped back in the car and found them fishing in the neighborhood pond and grinning from ear to ear. They each caught some fish and Caleb learned how to take his fish off the hook on his own.  photo P4208849.jpg  photo P4208852.jpg

For real?!! We are so blessed to know such amazing and genuine friends!

Magnolias and other blossoms

On Monday we went to visit David at the temple and to take pictures of all the early flowers and blossoms. It was supposed to rain but actually turned out to be a gorgeous day. He has a wonderful crew and they all work really hard to make sure the temple looks its best. The beds just get better and better each year. Boy am I married to a talented man. We are so so grateful for the fact that he gets to do what he loves, and loves where he does it! Here are some of my favorites. I will go back when the tulips are up.
