SUMMERFEST 2008

Ok I am sure for those of you who don't know what Summerfest is, I am sure you are thinking it is some sort of Music Festival that travels around in the summer (Like Oz Fest... but not with scary bands- it sounds more like a Folk Music Fest.)
Well it is a Festival for Orem city. And though they do have musical performance, there is so much more. There are games, rides, booths, a parade and Fireworks.
It is a tradition for my family- It is like a national holiday for my sister Kelli- bigger then Christmas almost.
We set up blankets on the corner- three days before the parade this year- and have a BBQ and a grand old time.
Here are some pics from Summerfest 2008

Jen was worried that Bronson would not like the loud sirens and horns from the cars and truck. He was more annoyed with Jen hold his head then anything.

Rachel really loves Bronson. Though it may look like she is screaming at him in this picture. She was loving playing with him.

FINE....

Monica told me today that I need to update my blog already. I told her that there really is nothing to write about... boring life! But she said that I have to do it and that I should write about my boring work, the boring 4 jury duty notices i recieved (and never actually had to serve) and the boring fact that my mom and sister are at camp this week. (Well that last one is not boring for them)
SO- here comes the boringness... (is that a word? Well it is now)
Well we will start with Jury duty... I while ago I posted that I got jury duty. Rather disappointing I must say. Every couple of weeks I would recieve a letter saying that I had to report on such and such date, for jury selections for a trial. Well... the four times that I recieved the letter, all four times the case was settled outside of court and never went to trial. Very anti-climatic and very annoying. By the end (which I am pretty sure it is the end) I was kind of hoping just to be able to serve just to see the process- but no such luck. Guess I will have to wait till the next time I have jury duty to be the decieding factor in the trial of the century!
Let's see what's next- My mom and Tara going to camp- They are at Girls camp this week. Big Deal right? Other than having to cook dinner all this week... not really that much different. Though the process in getting ready for camp is always interesting. My Mom has be to girls camp- not include the 6 times she went as a youth- over 25 times (i Think) It is a natural thing in our family to have mom gone for a week to girls camp. And the preparing, and the piles of stuff that goes up to girls camp... it is like a routine now. It was nice though when I would go to camp to have my mom there.
And now- Work... really boring... We are super busy. I am the Billing and Funding manager- and really have not done anything to do with billing in ages since I started funding. But supposedly they hired someone to help me... have yet to see them though...
We are going to Flaming Gorge in a couple of weeks to go camping.. Very excited for that...
And that is the jist of my life right now...
So are you happy now Monica?
