OCD

My Obsessive Compulsive Disorder has been in full swing lately keeping me up late and from doing anything else until I get something done each night for the unpacking. We are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel as we have finished all the major items and started to put a few things up in the attic. We love being in the new house and the boys have done a pretty good job so far of not destroying it!

The weather has been crazy. We had some normal warm Seattle spring days, then on Friday Seattle set a record low. Here are some pix we took while it was nice outside.






Our move was during a snow fall that left us in 4" of snow and despite growing up in Utah I saw the largest falling snowflakes of my life!
Beck ran into one of the columns in our house and has a sweet reminder to not be crazy and run around the house...

We went to the Puyallup spring fair so that we could go to the demolition derby with our friends the Chapmans. I have always wanted to go to one so it was nice to check that off my "things to do before I die" list. We froze to death but still had a lot of fun.



Besides the finale of the demolition derby there were some crazy things like a car rolling contest. The cars used a ramp to see how many times they could get their cars to roll. The winner rolled 4 times! Needless to say the boys were very involved in watching this show. They also had races where the cars could hit each other as much as they wanted and the final demo was crazy! If you have never been it is more intense than you might think. We kept trying to get pictures of Jodee's shocked face while the different crazy events were going on, but my cheap little camera that we took was too slow.

Techno Anyone?


Things have been super crazy. To avoid looking like too much of a complainer I'll spare all the gory details. One of the worst things was our back yard being too muddy for the trencher so I had to dig all the sprinkler trenches by hand. Anyway, we are in desperate need of a little break.

I just got an email from one of my favorite Techno DJ's (who is LDS, see my previous post). He is coming to Seattle. Any of our friends in the Seattle area want to go to this concert with us on May third? Going to a techno house might be too much for many of you so I'm not afraid of this snowballing into too large of a group. Do you think you can handle it???
