Our crazy life

Alright so I know it's been awhile since I updated (not that anyone cares :)) so I thought I'd post something. It's just that we've been SUPER busy, but not with anything all that interesting. Brandon's working like crazy and, thank heaven things have picked up significantly in the building industry. He actually went on an adventure to Mexico a couple weeks ago too. He went with my brother Gared and my brother-in-law Matt. They did all kinds of crazy stuff like bungee jumping, a jungle canopy zip-line tour, 4 wheeling and surfing. (I'm SO jealous!) Anyway they had a really great time.
In the meantime paint is starting on interior of our house today so I've been collecting samples and making final decisions on all the interior "stuff". Because the house is kind of meant to show what we can do, there are several different styles within the house. Which means I couldn't just choose one stain or paint color all the way through the house. I needed 4 stains & 6 paints but they all have to compliment each other as well so it doesn't look ridiculous. Anyway, between that, getting ready to go to Utah this weekend (hooray!!) , my photography class, Easter Brandon's Birthday, the pinewood derby which B and I handle for the most part, both of our cars going into the body shop (yes BOTH of our cars were hit within a 2 week period), which also led to us realizing all of insurance info needed updating, and soccer starting with 4 practices on 2 different fields per week, we've been a little crazy!
Anyway that's what's new for us! Here are a few pictures of B in Mexico

This is Matt, Brandon and Gared

House update

So the outside of the house is about done. There are a few details like paint touchup, and sealing the metal roofing (which will darken it so it's not so BRIGHT orange) that will need to be done last minute. But for the most part this is it. The interior should be getting paint in about a week or so, so it's progressing as well and we are excited about how it's looking!

Seattle

We went over to Seattle this past weekend for the frist time in quite awhile. Our friend Tex is being deployed for 7 months to the Persian Gulf so they were having a deployment party. I forgot how much I love that place! Maybe because on some level it's still "home" to me or maybe because we have firends there. Maybe it's just a cool city... who knows. Anyway I thought I'd throw a few pictures on here.

We went Pike's Place Market and the Tulips are up right now. Tulips are my favorite so I love the market that much more in the Spring! We also saw this man playing a saw... yes, you read that right. He was using a bow and playing "somewhere over the rainbow" on a hand saw. I tooka video but it's not very good quality.
The deployment party was at a Fun Center so this is us outside riding go-carts. It started raining in Seattle (that's wierd) and the trakc got all wet. There were about 14 of us so we were the only ones on the track and we turned our go-carts into something resembling bumper cars. It was awesome. We played Laser Tag too. I suck at it, but it was still good times.

My Kailee and Me at the party! Thanks for being such an amazing host, and playing with us all weekend!
