this better get me mom points

I'm hoping I scored some mom points from Megan and Emily for the Taylor Swift concert tickets I bought this weekend.

late night family fun

The reason for our trip to Utah was for the Dahl Family Reunion.  The reunion was on Friday and Saturday in Provo.  We had a great time with our extended family and appreciate all the work that went into pulling off a successful reunion.

On Friday the reunion festivities ended around 9ish with a stop to the Creamery on 9th for some late night yumminess.  After ice cream we headed back to my parents house in Orem for a quick clean up before heading off to Sparks in Provo to see Cubworld perform.

We had about 25 family members at the concert to support our nephew Nick who is the guitar player in the band 

it was a fun night out with family, although it was a bit late for us older folks (we didn't get out of the club until midnight)

The music was great - the first hour was acoustic and the second hour was the whole band.  You can check out Cubworld's music here.  We are hoping that they make it to California sometime soon so we can invite some friends to hear their music.

any blog readers from utah?

I saw this post this morning on my cousin Deanne's blog and thought I would help her get the word out.  If anyone is looking for some fun summer concerts just check out the line-up here.

more blogging catch up

Going to the Squeeze concert reminded me that a few weeks ago Derek and I went to a concert at Mission Viejo Lake with some friends of ours, the Wrights. We saw Rocco Deluca and the Burden. Max Wright knows the drummer from when he worked at Nordstrom with her. That's him, with the arrow.

Max outdid herself like always. She made yummy boxed dinners for all of us and she even made homemade cookies for the band - cranberry oatmeal - they are seriously amazing. I need to get the recipe. Max always does everything with such an attention to detail - I appreciate the great evening she put together for us.

It was a fun night and the lake is a great place to see concerts. We sat Pat Benatar there last summer. It's a great location and is always a fun summer activity.
