John Mayer

It's funny, you buy tickets 6 months in advanced to see someone you really like. Then when the day gets closer you forget that you have tickets. John Mayer was awesome! Different than Jonny Lang, but good different. The guy can play guitar, I know, Duh. I mean what else can you say... And his band was great. We had great seats. Not to close and not to far back. Tyler and Angela had seats on the lawn and we met up with them before the show.

Side note:
For all you concert goers. Have you ever been asked to sit down during the show? The people behind us asked us if we would "consider" sitting down... We had to laugh. No, really we did. My answer... No, I hadn't considered that. In fact, I have never considered that at a concert! We didn't let it affect the show.

The concert was great! And to the people that sat behind us. Sorry, by sitting down the entire time you missed a great concert.

Jonny Lang

There's one thing you need to know about Millissa, it's that Jonny Lang is one of her favorites. I'll admit, the guy is awesome! He has his own style of blues. From his amazing guitar talent to his vocals... If you don't know of him, check him out.

We saw that he was coming to the Red Butte Gardens, in Salt Lake. Millissa said she would do anything to see him in concert. We got to see him last year in Grand Junction, CO. with Carrie and Dustin at Rock Jam. Red Butte is a small venue so it was packed with fans.

It was a great concert in a great setting.




SWIMMING
Here are a couple shots of Elle and Saige having fun at the Henderson's pool for Drew's birthday. Saige didn't want to sink hence the life jacket and tube.

Slip & Slide

We spent the afternoon up at Dad's house. We BBQ'd some burgers and hot dogs and sat outside under the umbrella in the backyard, the sun was really hot today. Elle and Saige played in the pool and the slip & slide. Saige had a hard time making it down on her own so I helped her out.

Happy B-Day America

I don't think I have ever taken a day off just to relaxed. I mean really, how many days do you take off to sit and relax? Seems that every time we get together with family on a day off/holiday we end up more tired than any of the busiest days at work.

We woke up 5:30am, ok the alarm went off then... We had places saved at the Parade in Provo. And, I just realized I have been going to this Parade for pretty much my entire life. All I can say is, the things we parents will do for our kids. (you that are parents understand)

After the parade we were off to the America Fork canyon, with all the other people in Utah. We found a nice quite place and set up shop. Dan cooked up a great meal hambugers, hot dogs, corn and some of Millissa's salads. We played and had a good time. I think we ended up taking half the dirt from the canyon back to the house.

We met up with Great Grandma and Grandma Johnson (Mom) we wanted a rematch of a little game of Hand and Foot... Mom and Millissa beat Great Grandma and I last week, Great Grandma was in one of her goofy moods, I think that's why we lost. So the rematch was on. Grandma stepped up tonight and we spanked them good.

We ended up getting home around 11:00. We met another one more of our neighbors who were really nice. Come to find out. He was one of my Mom's students at Manilla Elem. and the son of Elle's old Principal. So a long day and 2 dirt clawds later we called it a night.

Lehi Round-Up

If you live in Lehi you have to attend the Lehi Round Up. It's part of living there... (so I've been told) Here are some photos that captured the day...

Note to self: Don't wear flip-flops to a rodeo...
