Alysha with No Nap Equals???

Falling DEAD asleep during dinner! Yep, that is right, the girls skipped their nap today and Alysha was beyond tired around 6:00. Before, Scot and I knew it, Alysha was dead out. We would try to wake her up by saying her name and she barely could open her eyes. Her response was a slight smile on her face and she started to laugh. Scot swears she was laughing in her sleep! We ended up putting her to bed at 6:30 and she slept till 7:30 the next morning. Evening Skylar was laughing at her sister!

Chillin with My Sister

Skylar and Alysha chillin in Daddy's chair, enjoying their snacks, and watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Helping Mom do Dishes

Alysha and Skylar think it is fun to help me wash the dishes. I think they really LOVE playing with the bubbles. They get their little stools to reach the water and then they are busy splishing and splashing in the water. I am sure in a few years washing dishes will be no fun at all!

Happy Birthday Skylar and Alysha!!

It's party time!!! This evening we celebrated Skylar and Alysha's 2nd birthday with our family. The party started at 5:30 and we held the party in our barn. It worked out great in the barn because there was plenty of room for our 20+ guests. We all enjoyed a meal of BBQ, pork and beans, chips and dip, cauliflower salad, and apples and carmel dip. After dinner the girls opened their gift. At first they were over whelmed with everyone watching them. Once they got over that they had a TON of fun with all their fun gifts.

After all the gifts were opened we sang happy birthday to the girls and enjoyed cupcakes with ice cream.

My Babies are TWO!!!!

Yes it is true.....my babies are TWO!!!! I have no idea where the past two years have gone. It is AMAZING to me how much Skylar and Alysha have changed during the past year. My girls are all over the place, they have to do everything by themselves, and they are talking like crazy!!! This morning the girls had their two year check up and thankfully both of them are healthy!! Skylar is 29.8 pounds and stands at 2 feet 9 inches.Alysha is 25.4 pounds and stands at 2 feet 8 inches tall. This evening the girls opened their birthday gifts from Scot and I. We got them a doctor's kit and cookie and cake play food. Skylar and Alysha are listening to Aunt Heidi and their cousins sing them Happy Birthday! After they opened their gifts we had dinner and their birthday cupcakes! After dinner they opened their birthday cards from Great Grandma Hoekstra. and had a wrestling match with Daddy. Now the fun begins....potty training and getting rid of the pacifers! Wish us luck!!!
