Spanish Fork Demolition Derby
We love Demolition Derbies!!! Our friend's, Marie & Ian, also are very seasoned in Demolition Derby. We had heard that the Spanish Fork event was the BEST. We jumped on buying tickets. And it didn't disappoint us. We had a great time watching car crashes, engines on fire, and cars being flipped over. What more can you ask for????
Newest Home Projects
Of course Matthew and I needed more projects to work on at our condo. This project of refinishing the dresser was a necessary evil. We had already started with our night stands and need to paint it to match. It was much easier this time since we are well practiced. We are loving having a finished bedroom set now.

Another project that was Matthew's brilliant idea is wall sconces. As Matthew always says "lighting makes a room." I would have never thought of it on our own but we love it. And it was an easy one day project that I didn't even see the holes while he was doing it.

24th of July
Spontaneously our friends Kati and Danny called us up to ask if we wanted to meet in SLC for the 24th of July parade float display. Neither of us knew what to expect from this event because we have never made it to the Pioneer Parade before. This was more fun than I would have ever expected. The floats were amazing, had so much detail, and took these wards/ stakes over one year of work. We are so glad Kati and Danny invited us. We had a blast with them like we always do. (So sad we didn't get a picture with you though.)

4th of July
This year for the 4th of July Matthew and I had our second annual Davis Family celebrations. Matthew's sisters, Talie and Lisa, have had this tradition long before we joined them. But we are glad they are letting us be part of the fun every July.
We start the celebrations with decorating matching shirts a couple days before the 4th of July. This year we did bleach shirts, which was soo easy. Talie planned the project. It just took us bringing a colored shirt, wooden/ foam stencils, and a spray bottle of bleach. It was a very fun family activity.

The Partiotic celebrations always continue to a picnic at BYU. And then watching the Stadium of Fire fireworks from outside the football stadium. The festives were complete with our matching shirts, bubbles, and glow sticks. And staying late to dance in the streets.
