It's a boy!

We've known that for a couple of weeks I just haven't had the chance to post. Here's a couple pics. If you want to see a couple more visit the baby page.

Here he is at 21 weeks.


His feet at 23 weeks.


Also ... our friends had their baby earlier today, yay! Congratulations guys!

Utah & Colorado

The last week of October we went to Utah & Colorado to see family and to take our last vacation before the little one arrives.

We started in St George with my grandpa's birthday party.
> 5th & 4th (my mom :) of 8.
> The birthday kids.


After a quick stop in Cedar City Hot Cup had officially met all 10 of my parent's siblings!

Then we went to Bryce Canyon for a day.


Two of my siblings are in Provo so we stopped to play with them. And two of my uncles and their families are nearby and are a lot of fun. I miss seeing them more often like I got to when I was going to school there!

BYU from the Y


In Salt Lake City we visited Temple Square and neighboring sites. We also got to see Hot Cup's brother and my uncle and his family that live in the Salt Lake Valley.
> In the Primary display section at the Relief Society building.
> The Conference Center.


Our final stop was Colorado, where Hot Cup's sister and her family live.
> Hot Cup is great with kids. He's going to be the fun parent.
> Kiting!

Foul Weather and Friends

(Not to be confused with foul-weather friends.)

During the storm Sunday afternoon our electricity went out, along with most everyone's in the county. But we had an great evening anyway at a barbeque with some friends. We have so much fun with these guys. Even without AC.

Disc Golf

As you probably don't remember, last year's Memorial Day weekend included a visit to a disc golf course. Well this year's did too! We went to New Quarter Park near Williamsburg.



This is post 102! I sailed right past #100 and didn't even notice.

Buon Giorno! (Part 2)

I decided I liked my Honeymoon Pictures Post better than Buon Giorno! (Part 1) so I've made the pictures smaller this time. Just click on them if you want to see something bigger.

Roma

Colosseum


> The Pantheon
> Views from the top of the Spanish Steps
> Big mouth face building down the road from the top of the Spanish Steps


Città del Vaticano

St Peter's Basilica
> 3rd pic: Michelangelo's La Pieta


The Vatican Museum
> Perseus with the head of Medusa, by Antonio Canova
> Raphael's School of Athens
> A replica of Michelangelo's La Pieta where you can get a good look at where Michelangelo signed his name after hearing credit for the sculpture being given to another.


Tivoli

Lovely views, gardens, and fountains at the Villa d'Este



Napoli

> View from the fortress Sant'Elmo
> Castel Nuovo
> Meeting hall in Castel Nuovo. Called "The Barons' Hall" because in 1486 the barons plotted against King Ferrante I. He found out about it and invited them over to celebrate his granddaughter's marriage. Then he had them locked in this room, arrested, and later executed. This room is now used for meetings of the City Council.


Pompei

The Temple of Jupiter at the north end of the Forum, with Mount Vesuvius in the background


> Odeon Theatre - smaller theatre used for musical performances, poetry readings, plays, and mimes
> Oven & millstone
> The ritual depicted in this Fresco is a mystery - which is why the villa is called the Villa of Mysteries. Unrelated to the villa: Telamons and niches from the Forum baths


The end.
