trace (alias: an)
pants
to shorts(too cute)
we have all been enjoying the warmer weather... jade went so far as to don a bathing suit (with snow boots, of course) yesterday. both jade and trace love to be outside, and seem to want to do everything together. it is intersting how little language barrier there is for them.
enjoy all the pictures and keep the comments coming :).
interesting attire
roller skating
view behind our outbuildings (the slab of cement where jade & trace can ride bikes)
what trace can aspire toward :)
or this...
(the boy bike is coming... until then, trace and jade share a tricycle and jade's girly bike)
everyone needs someone to jump on the trampoline and eat apples with, don't you think?
there's nothing like trying to smile with apple in your mouth :)
if i lay hereif i just lay here
would you lie with me
and just forget the world?
now isn't this the cutest shirt ever... especially for a child who dearly loves bananas?
ring around the rosy
static!
flying with apple in hand
windmills are fun :)... especially when they involve fun ladders
working together...
swinging
sliding
climbing the slide... (because cool kids most definately do not climb the ladder)
yum! frozen corn in the bathtub (honestly, what can compare?)
six filthy feet
observing the fish in grandma & grandpa's pond
jade and pedal tractor
trace and the other pedal tractor(it is a very good thing we have two of them)

we're still here
sorry it's been so long since the last post! i have taken lots of pictures which i will get up on monday (when i go back to work). in the meantime:
-yesterday, jade decided that she and trace are going to get married. of course, he has no idea what this means; and even so did not seem enthused. he was more interested in jumping on the trampoline.
-they are both riding bikes now.
-trace can now clearly say motorcycle, eat, tractor, baseball, go outside and a bunch of other words... he also says something to the effect of quiet! to jade when he gets tired of her yelling at him...
-nothing is safe. those 2 are capable of getting into everything! they are quite the cohorts in crime... i don't think we were quite expecting the destruction that two 3.5 year olds can cause :).
-father has the strange habit of eating frozen corn for a snack. (you know, out of the bag you get from the freezer section. normal people microwave it with some water before consumption...) he has trace & jade more or less hooked, too. so last night i was trying to get them into the bathtub, but they were getting hungry. they wanted frozen corn. so they bathed and ate frozen corn at the same time. (i have a picture to post of this momentous occasion)
best wishes and i will get those pix up as soon as i am back to my reliable, highspeed internet enabled place of employment :). enjoy your weekend!

interesting :).
yesterday trace and jade got in a box of jade's old clothes (clothes she wore when we got her, over 2 years ago) and put them on. they still fit jade pretty well, actually. as you can see, they are very small for trace, who actually grows. they then decided that dishtowels made good head wear, and proceeded to playing their instruments (guitar and saxaphone) hence covered. fun times.
musically inclined?
dressed up and playing music

camping
what do you do when it's snowing outside and you find a fun foam mat? go camping! jade and trace decided to camp in the kitchen (where it is a bit warmer for those of us who wear sundresses at all times). most imparitive to camping is taking a break for a swig of gatoraid every 4.6 seconds.
