We love going to Duke Gardens! However, we have a bad habit of only going when we have company from out of town and not going when its just the three of us. So we decided to end that streak and are going to try to go once a month this year. What a beautiful place! Right now all of the tulips and dogwoods are in bloom. Soon come the azaleas and then the roses! I am not a gardening buff and I certainly do not have a green thumb (as Rylan can attest to) . However, it is amazing to consider the planning, work, and architect that goes into designing such a large garden where something is always in bloom!
Rylan took a bunch of pictures of Rylee and I because he says I am never in our photos (since I am always the one behind the camera). Then we looked for some one who could take a picture of the two of us. It was like the gardens were suddenly deserted and we could not find anyone. We realized our only chance was to hand our camera over to Rylee, who couldn't have happier. In the end, we thought she did a pretty good job...this photo is uncropped! While its not my favorite picture of Rylan and I, we are centered in it and the camera remained intact. We thought it was hilarious! She also took the picture of the flower below...she was very proud of herself!

We are so proud of you for finally posting something new. Just kidding, you guys blog about like we do so it is kind of nice that someone else has a hard time thinking up stuff to blog. The pictures look great, and it looks so warm there. I can't wait to come to the eastern part of the country for some sunshine.
Rylee did an awesome job taking pictures! I think she has found her niche in life, ballet and photography. We are excited that you guys are coming out this summer and can't wait to see you. Every time we drive by "Ensign Peak" Emma remembers going there with Rylee. While practicing our new hobby of blogging, we found the class of 98 blog. Here is the link if you are interested http://davishighclassof98.blogspot.com/. Keep the posts coming we like to see what you are doing in your life, talk to you later.
Hallelujah! It was so refreshing to look at your blog today! Yeah! I love Duke Gardens as well! We have been having so much rain lately that I can't wait to get outside and enjoy spring!
What a beautiful family you have. You've inspired me to check out the gardens soon!
I am sooooooo impressed with Rylee's photography skills! That is a great photo!
Rylee is such a photo genic kid, too. Great pics, Rach.
