Avocado Plant

When we moved from UT to North Dakota in 2004, I had a pretty awesome Avocado Plant that I had started from scratch. It was a foot or more tall. It was probably the 1st time, I'd ever been able to keep something alive that long (except for children. LOL). Unfortunately it met an untimely death due to some good ol' Dakota weather & being left in a car for the night. Oops!
For some reason, Justice has been interested in getting his own started lately. He tooth-picked and submerged his 1st avocado pit several months ago (like a lot of several months)!!!! And nothing happened. It almost got thrown away on a number of occasions. But he was patient and a few weeks ago, he was able to transfer it into a pot. And then the magic happened. It has been growing like crazy ever since. He's super excited! He even talked his 2 sisters into growing their own. We have our own little garden on our back window sill. They have grand plans of making their own home grown guacamole in a few years! LOL

We LOVE to see the Temple! As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we believe the Lord has commanded His people to build Temples. Temples are a sacred place in which we are taught, make covenants and are promised blessings. In the Temple, we can be sealed to our families for Time & all Eternity. Ever since we had kids, our little family has had a fun Temple-Touching tradition. Whenever we make it to one of the 148 Temples (+25 being built), we take the kids to the outside wall of the Temple, so they can touch it. We hope that the kids can feel of God's power & learn to LOVE the House of the Lord. Join us on our little journey of some of the Temples we've touched. May God touch your heart to love the Temple as we do!
