Only In Idaho...

This past weekend we did something i'm pretty sure you can only do in Idaho...
Demolition Derby!!
It was a fun night of red-necks
&
Junkers!!
For those of you who don't know what a demolition derby is, don't worry, i didn't know until i went, it's pretty much a bunch of beat-up cars that they drive around in a mud pit and they crash into each other as many times as they can without their car dying. The last one running wins! Pretty strange and hick..i know.
But it was pretty fun!
I think everyone should experience one demolition derby during their life!

These cars didn't even look like they could start, let alone drive and crash into each other!


Experience it yourself!! Careful of the Adrenaline rush! :)
Seriously, where else would a crowd gather and watch this?!! Only in idaho!!


We got this sweet BBQ set for our wedding, only problem; no grill! Brett was excited to bust it out saturday night when we bbq'd some hot dogs with some friends (on a borrowed grill)...he looks so cute!

Our date night friday night was a picnic in the park with pizza. I was so excited to use this really cute 'picnic' set we got for our wedding. It feels kind of like a giant tea set; it's so fun!


These are kind of difficult to blog about...i get a little angry inside. Angry at the plants.
Brett and i bought this planter box and dirt and seeds about two months ago...we planted them..and waited..and waited...and waited!! Brett would lovingly water them every morning and take such good care of them. And i would be planning to just dump them out and smash them because they were NOT DOING ANYTHING!!
Without knowing it, they saved their little plant lives by giving us this single bloom...
this morning!!

So i'm not angry at these little plants anymore..i just hope the Sweet Peas will bloom this week,
I am looking forward to those the most!

Great blog. Ok, the video is not working and I am disappointed!!! I want to see it.

I understand plant anger. I have it too. They don't work well for me but yours look great now!

Love the apron and pizza picnic. You got fun stuff for your wedding.

I love keeping up on Bremily!

Emily! Cute blog posts. Sounds like you and Brett have been up to some fun stuff. I like your little plants. I wish I was more patient with things like that. Sadly, I killed my last plant.

Sorry. I commented under my family's blog. That last comment was from me.

I love it!! And we seriously won't be sad if you take your plants with you when you go home. We are the best neighbors, but I wouldn't want you to miss out on any more flowers getting brave enough to bloom! I think they will come!!

That Demolition Derby sounds cool! How fun to play with all your wedding gifts. I remember those days. See you tomorrow!

Interesting! Don't quite understand fixing up a car so you can smash it - Oh well . . .You two have such fun dates, glad you are using some of those great gifts you got. ( Try a little Miracle Grow and your plants will bloom more.) Can't wait to see you guys on Sunday!
