Temples

 I really like how the Mesa Temple looks at night and I am lucky to have seen the Mesa Temple at night.

This is a daytime shot of the Mesa Temple and I think it still looks pretty at day.And my great grandma and great grandpa got married in this temple.

I got to see the Gilbert Temple when we drove by it and the open house starts during my baptism! I can't wait to go inside!

Lizard From my Backyard

A few days ago I caught a baby lizard.

Observation: I always go outside and try to catch lizards but I don't usually succeed because they are so fast and they always run into a crack in our fence or over the fence. 

Facts about lizards:

They are cold blooded (their body is the same temperature as their environment).

They are fast.

They live all over the world.
