MOTOWNPHILLY’S BACK AGAIN

Maybe you should listen to this as you read the post because it’s gonna just pump you right up!

It’s that time of year again! Time for the Utah State Fair! And as you can gather from the song, we were fortunate enough to get tickets to the Boyz II Men concert Friday night. Our friend Kia is a big fan and he went early to wait in line for 2 hrs and get us tickets! Thanks Kia! We had a great time at the concert. Colton wasn’t a huge fan before but after he got out that’s all he could sing!

              

They were very entertaining and they’re songs are just classics! It was a blast! At one point they had everybody call they’re Moms (so Colton did), tell them that “this song is for you”, and put the phone in the air. This is the song they sang for all you mothers out there:

We Love you Mamma (Both of you)! We had so much fun there with our friends! Thanks guys!

On a side note, Colton entered the Photography contest this year and here is a small sample of the photos that he entered:

     

         

He didn’t win any prizes but it was fun to see his great photos there with all of the other competitors. We love the State Fair!

IT FEELS LIKE TONIGHT

    

So we haven’t been too lucky when it comes to going to concerts together. Over the past 2 years we’ve tried 4 different concerts and each time something prohibited us from attending. Our troubles began first with the Dashboard Confessional concert out at Thanksgiving Point. On our way down south around the point of the mountain traffic came to a complete halt. We were already running late to make matters worse. We sat in the car at a dead stop for over an hour. It took forever just to get moving again. After a few hours we made it through to find out that a boat had tipped over on the freeway causing quite the pile-up. We took the next exit and grabbed some food then headed home. It was just not our day. The next trial came when we bought Secondhand Serenade tickets out at Thanksgiving Point. The day before it had rained so hard though that we got there and waited for over 2 hours and they still weren’t letting people in. We had to wake up early the next day and decided it was going to be done too late so we gave our tickets to some people and headed back. It surely can’t happen again right? Well our next try was to the Jack Johnson concert out at Usana amphitheatre. We were so excited to go only to learn later that the family would schedule a trip to Laguna Beach during that time. It was the week that worked best for everybody else so once more we forfeited our tickets to some friends of ours. Wait though it gets even better… Our next shot was at the Dave Matthews Band concert at Usana amphitheatre. What could possibly go wrong you ask? Well about a month before the concert would be held their lead saxophonist, LeRoi Moore, passed away and they cancelled the concert. But we are persistent and so this year for Mandy’s birthday Colton bought her tickets to go see Daughtry performing with Lifehouse. These are 2 of Mandy’s favorite bands and last night the much anticipated concert finally arrived. And guess what? We finally went to a concert together! It worked. No rain, no car wreck, no trip, no deaths. Just a great night at the E-Center seeing Daughtry and Lifehouse perform. We had great seats and here are some of the pics throughout the night! Happy Birthday Mandy! The 5th time’s the charm. haha
