October Trip to Utah!

I was able to visit Utah for a few days the last week in October. The main reason for my visit is that my friend Paul Abegg invited me to come and solo with the Dixie State College Orchestra, which he conducts. I managed to come out a little early and spend ONE WHOLE DAY with my family! Totally worth it...I wish it could have been for longer. Of course, Greg had to work and couldn't come.


It's always been my dream to be pregnant the same time as my sisters. Here Lea is on her last, her 4th boy, due Dec. 20th. I just barely made it!

I was lucky to be able to see my dad's concert with the BYU Symphonic Band the one day I was in town, and I was so excited when Geralyn, my oboe professor from my undergrad days at BYU, was at the concert too!


Snow Canyon in St. George, UT. I'm 20 weeks pregnant in this picture.


My parents drove me to St. George and hung out with me all weekend! I'm so glad we were able to spend time together. And man, the weather in St. George was BEAUTIFUL that weekend. It made me miss the Arizona desert.



Beautiful Snow Canyon (named after Lorenzo Snow, not because it ever snows here)


Paul and I performing the Bach Violin and Oboe Concerto with the Dixie State College Orchestra. I had some close-ups, but it turns out that being 20-weeks pregnant and playing the oboe is not a good combination!

Love all the great pics!! Come on! SHOW THE CLOSEUPS!! Balloon cheeks and balloon belly don't work well with the camera? Baffling.

Great pictures! I thought your flat Stanley thing was cute. I'll know who to send him to if my kids ever do that. Can't wait to see you soon!
