4th of July...Kenny Rodgers...and ROCKBAND!

Greg's younger sister, Tiffannie, is here from Georgia for the week. The last time she was in Utah was for our wedding three years ago. We spent a week in Florida with her last summer, but other than that, we don't get to see her much so we've been soaking up all the time we can get with her this week.

Here's Greg & Tiff getting ready for our big 4th of July BBQ at my mother-in-law's (Greg was making hamburger patties when his dad called so Tiff had to hold the phone for him...and help him with his perspiration problem!)
After the BBQ we went to a friend's house to light our own fireworks, it's Greg's favorite part of the 4th (I'm married to a fireworks/explosion-loving pyromaniac)! We ended up watching the Murray Fireworks from our car on the top of a bridge, Greg provided our own personal soundtrack.

My mother-in-law loves Kenny Rodgers, so for her birthday we planned a trip to Wendover to see him in concert on Saturday (it worked out that it was when Tiff would be here). We ended up having 2 extra tickets, so mom and Denny came with us. We all had a great time, and I was actually pleasantly surprised at how entertaining the concert was.

The last exciting event of the weekend was that we finally got Rockband for our Wii! I'll be honest, I really struggle at the guitar (my conclusion...or excuse...is that if you actually play the guitar, it's harder to play guitar hero or rockband) but I totally ROCK at the drums and the vocals...I got a "serious skills" rating...WHOO!
