Leap Year!

This year we are blessed to have an extra day! The girls took care of their babies today...TOO CUTE!

Heaven's Gate

Today my Grandpa (Jay) Hoekstra was called home at the age of 73. This is a blessing for our family as my grandfather suffered from Parkinson disease over the past 10 years. It doesn't seem fair that I had to lose both of my Grandfathers within three months of each other, but God must have needed them more than I did. Their work here on earth is done & God called them home! I find great comfort in knowing that I will see them again!

Time to Read

For some reason the girls love to sit in small, tight places.  Today they took all their blocks out of the box and both of them squeezed their buns in it.  I am thankful that they LOVE to read books.

Happy Valentine's Skylar & Alysha!!

This evening Skylar, Alysha and I celebrated Valentine's Day! Unfortunately, Scot is working up north and missed out on the celebration. We were able to Skype with him and the girls were excited to tell him Happy Valentine's Day!!

A teddy bear was the gift Scot and I got the girls, which was a huge hit!

After our exciting dinner of grilled cheese, the girls were treated with a chunky, chocolate brownie! Happy Valentine's Day Girls. Mommy and Daddy LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Valentine's with Grandma Van Dam

Grandma Van Dam came over this afternoon to give Skylar and Alysha their Valentine's. The girls received cute paper in the shape of a purse, fruit snacks, washable markers, and mini M&Ms. The girls had a good time playing with Grandma for a little while. The girls were SO EXCITED about the M&Ms.

Fun Outside in February!?!?

What a FANTASTIC winter so far! I am loving the fact that we have had more days with grass showing then days covered with snow. Today the weather was mid 40s and the girls were itchy to get outside. We spent an hour outside. The girls had a blast riding their quad and swinging in the backyard. I think we all enjoy getting some fresh air!
