and all that jazz

We decided to support our home team and attend a basketball game. It was the first Jazz game that we have ever gone to together (we did go to a college game once back in ATL), and it was pretty sweet. The Jazz kept their home winning streak alive at 19 in a row, which ties a franchise record. Whoohoo!!!

We went with Michael and Tara, Steph's brother and sister-in-law. We sat way up high, but we could still see everything. Only a couple nosebleeds! One of the Raptor's team members got ejected in the fourth quarter when the Jazz were pulling away, so that got pretty intense. We had a fun time up in SLC.

It's a BOY!!!

I can't believe it, we're having a boy! We just had the ultrasound yesterday and everything looks great! However it took two trips to find out it was actually a boy. When we had the original appointment at noon, the baby was curled up too tight to see much, so we had to go back a few hours later. Luckily he had completely changed positions and was even sitting up higher than before. So we got a real nice shot! I am now officially half way there! Hooray!!!

We are even making some cupcakes tonight to celebrate his half birthday! This is quite a milestone for us that's for sure! Dario was convinced that we would have all girls, and in his words the night before the ultrasound, he said "I will be pretty surprised if we find out we are having a boy, I will be shocked..." Well, lets just say he was pretty excited! Look, I think baby is actually waving to the camera. Awesome!

Garden Room

So we've been in our home for about five months now, and it's been great. We have only a few complaints, but nothing too troublesome. Just prior to moving in, we took the liberty of painting most the interior to liven up the place. Steph is pretty good at the interior design thing, and she was even toying with the idea of looking into it last year. Toying. We're not sure why we actually waited this long to finally get some things up in our bedroom, but days turned into weeks and... well, it's a step in the right direction. Here's a visual aide.

I will have you know that I put that headboard together-- with the help of some borrowed power tools. Steph wanted to delegate this as the garden room. That sounds great. We'll just buy some trees and put them all around our bed!
