Fager Conference Weekend

This weekend, Ben and I went to Provo to see "the girls" (Jenn, Mel, and Katie), husband and boyfriend. We had a great time! First we went to see Melanie at her office. She's worked for Craig Ainge, a CPA, for the past year and couple months. Ben endured shopping for a baby quilt. Melanie is so cute with her "tummy." Being 6-foot can no longer hide her protruding stomach. Dave affectionately refers to her as fatso.

Next we went to Katie's botany class and literally chased her 70-year old professor around BYU campus as he identified 15 new plants, and quizzed his students on another couple of dozen plants and trees they had previously learned. Her final will consist of knowing the common name, genus, species, and family of 240 plants. She is examining the Dawn Redwood, meta sequioa glypto stoboides genus and species of the taxonaceae family.

We spent Saturday and Sunday watching conference and playing lots in between. Jenn likes to watch conference like I do. It is much easier to clean the house, cook, or do my semi-annual ironing session to stay better focused. Katie likes to take notes on her computer. Saturday afternoon we crowded onto Melanie's couch to watch the 2nd session.

Between the morning and afternoon session on Saturday, Jenn and I went to Spanish Fork Canyon to visit with Richard's parents. It was absolutely gorgeous with beautiful fall colors. They live on a 5-acre lot in a small gated community. These pictures were taken just up the road from Richard's house.
