In No Particular Order...
Diana had her 4th birthday! We had a carnival party with lots of carnival games and Grandma and Grandpa Martin brought their bouncy house. Diana was really excited to get her first bicycle!
Bryan and I moonlighting as carnival stars!
Our family also went to Lagoon. Becca was so brave. She wanted to keep up with her older sisters and would try any ride they went on.
Diana started pre-school at Buttons and Bows. She loves coloring and doing show and tell. She feels like such a big girl with her Dora backpack.
Becca is such a character. She brings a lot of laughter into our home.
These are mommy's little helpers. What would I do without them?

JULY UPDATE
My sister Shannon and her husband Seth lost their son Charles Farrell Hossfield on June 26, 2008. He died from complications with HLHS (a heart condition), he was just 8 months old. They are great examples of strength and faith in our Heavenly Father's plan. We know Charlie is with his Heavenly Father and we will see him again someday.
Earlier in June we celebrated Caitlyn's 9th birthday and Rebecca's 1st birthday. Caitlyn wanted a fairy theme so we had a fairy cake and all of the kids decorated their own fairy wings. Rebecca had a teddy bear cake, it was the same cake my mom made me for my 1st birthday and Diana's 1st birthday.
In July we went to the Sinclair family reunion with my side of the family. We had a great time visiting with family and participating in the activities. We got to go horseback riding, canoeing, swimming, rock cllimbing, play paint ball, go shooting, etc. Caitlyn was even brave enough to dance in the talent show and did a great job. It was a fun vacation!
This is me and Becca in the Bouncy House.
Diana's trying out the gunny sacks, getting ready for the big race.
Me, Bryan, and Caitlyn tried out the Rock Climbing Wall.
Caitlyn and Bryan went for a horseback ride. Bryan's horse was really stubborn but Caitlyn looked like a natural.

SPRING 2008
One night I made cookies with my two little bakers. Diana got to lick the beaters, but Becca got worn out and fell asleep on the job.
Diana got to race in our Pinewood Derby since she faithfully comes to scouts with her mom every week, (she can even recite the Cub Scout Promise!) Her dad helped her make a blue truck carrying lumber and a ladder in the back. It wasn't the fastest, but she won the Judges Choice Award.

OUR NEW HOUSE
This the the tub in the master bathroom. Bryan is looking forward so a nice hot soak in there when he's finished with all of his hard work on the house!
This is a view of the kitchen ceiling- nice and vaulted with a hickory beam. I don't know how were going to change the light bulbs in that ceiling fan!
This is a close up of our dirty kitchen tile.
This is the hickory hard wood floor in the front entry.
This is the stairway up to the loft.
This is the view into the house from the front entry.
