This is when we were back in Rome. We are in front of the Trevi Fountain, enjoying the shade and the after taste of our gelato!

Taryn, Beckham and I went on to Venice after Florence. Brendon had to go back to work. Of course someone, Bren and Dale, have to work to support our traveling habits! Right! Anyway, we are posing on one of the many little bridges across all the waterways in Venice. It was a cute little city. We stayed in a lovely hotel right by St Marcus's Square. and visited the cathedral, and wandered through the streets shopping. The fact that there are no cars in Venice made it even more quaint.

Rialto Bridge...one of the more famous bridges in Venice, taken as we arrived there and took the "slow boat" to our hotel.

Vlorence was lovely! Tall buildings and everyone speaking Italian. Imagine that! View from the top of the Duomo Bell tower. And above is the Pointe Vechio bridge. This bridge was purposefully not bombed by the ally's during WWII. We had a great time shopping along thie bridge, and buying paintings.

ITALY was GREAT!

The Monday after the wedding reception, in August, Taryn and Beckham and I headed to Rome, Italy! Wow! Brendon was in Rome on an internship and we joined him. Here I am looking lovely in front of the Colussem, and then enjoying gelato, which was at least a daily occurance!

Tiffany, Dale and I before Cody and Katelyn's reception in Gridley.

I was able to be in Palo Alto for the birth and that was so neat. What a darling baby!

WHAT A SUMMER! 2009!

It was quite an eventful summer! It began in May when Blair came home from his mission. Blair and I are pictured above. (: It continued with baby Beckham being born July 22nd, then Cody's wedding in Oregon on August 15th at the Medford Temple. Then there was the reception in Gridley the next weekend in our yard! That's Grandma Betty Barrow with the proud mama, Taryn, and Beckham.....I'm not so good at blogging yet so my text is at the bottom of the pictures! Cody and his bride, Katelyn, are in the carriage for their surprise ride.
