Gilbert Temple

Opening Day! I almost didn't go because I thought it would be crowded--but I go to the Temple on Tuesdays-- So I went! It was WONDERFUL! I love this Temple. The cultural celebration was so good-- even in the pouring down rain. The dedication was wonderful-- and I was blessed to see it all! Now this is MY temple and I couldn't be happier. Enjoy my pictures!

One of the stained glass windows. The Agave Plant was used ALL through the temple. It is very symbolic of families. Notice the golden "tear drop" at the base-- a drop of oil, a drop of healing...

Don't you just want to take off your shoes and feel the grass?

This is me and Kamden at the dedication on Sunday (at a stake center)

Saguaro Lake

I got to go hiking at Saguaro Lake again! This time I got to do the whole trail :-) It was a beautiful day. I really love getting outdoors and this is the perfect time to in AZ. All of you have been freezing and we have mostly stayed in the 80's! I know I'll hate it come Summer, but right now it's GREAT!

Don't you want to be on a boat? Or have a hammock and just relax here? P.S. This last pic is where I had a picnic lunch :-)

Imagine Dragons

AH!!!!! I loved this concert! It really was a great show. They are talented and do a great live show. I would go see them again in a heartbeat. Sad some of my favorite songs weren't played, but loved the ones they did play.

Stage set up... I love that big drum!!!

And it is starting!! This is the moon rising (Into the Night Tour)

Full Moon!

We had AWESOME seats... row 18 center didn't feel far at all. They did have a floor crowd, which I was happy to not be a part of.

So humble and grateful. I hope they stay that way.

End of the night.

This is us waiting for the concert to start.

Kamden's eight!

I got to take pictures of Kamden for his baptism. I wanted to share my favorites.

He's a good kid. My sister is lucky to have such great kids! And I get to take pictures! Fun, fun.

Dad Visit!

I love when my Dad comes to town. This time he was in town for my nephew's baptism. We had a fun filled week. 

We went to Saguaro Lake. It was a beautiful day--just perfect!

Rachel's happy hikers! The best part for them was throwing rocks in the lake!

It was a nice trail. I want to go back and do the whole trail next time.

She loves her picture being taken!

We went to tour the Gilbert Temple. I have to say this may be my new favorite! It is just stunning. I will go back when there are less people to really take pictures of the temple.

Daddy and his daughters! 

Kamden's baptism. So happy for him!

We had such a good visit. Time always goes too fast when Dad is here. And-- his big news is that he is getting married in March! I am happy for him. A little bit of a shock, but it will be great.
