Jade is Three (but don't tell HER that!)

Jade turned three a few weeks ago. Wowser times goes fast. The above picture is when she was about 8 months old. If you recall, she had acid reflux full force back then and anyone brave enough to hold her was sure to get puked on. Bless her heart. Believe it or not, she still has occasional fits of "spit-up". She is still fully addicted to her binky, although it's only allowd during sleeping times. Jade is still Ayden's biggest fan. She loves to swim, I mean, she really really loves to swim. We've had to fish her out of a couple of pools already this year. She likes to ride her bikes (she has three). Her favorite bike doesn't have wheels, she just pushes it with her feet. She's much too big for the bike, so her feet drag on the ground. It's pretty awesome to see. She is turning into a girly girl-very slowly. She just discovered the joy of dressing up and barely began playing with barbies. She loves to cut her own hair and does a pretty good job of it (much to my dismay). She is in denial that she is three. She tells us that she is still TWO. She will start preschool in the Fall and is very excited for that. She needs to make some other friends beside her mom, dad and brother! Happy Birthday Baby Girl, we love you.

Dance Party

You may want to pause the music on my page to hear the music the kids are dancing to.
We had some friends visit for a couple of days and this is all of them showing off their moves!

Our average day

Ayden stuffing marshmallows into his mouth. He is a fluffy bunny.










Jade swimming with her cowgirl boots on. Really, they are the easiest to get on when she is in a hurry to get outside!











The kids made a pirate ship out of boxes and miscellaneous junk from the garage. They completed the scene by singing "yo ho yo ho, a pirate's life for me".







Here is Jade doing what she does best. Doing it by herself!! When she dies, her life will be summed up in one sentence "I can do it by myself".












The kids had Summer school this year and both of them were able to go. This is their first day of school, all dressed up and acting like they actually love each other. They had a great time, Jade was so happy to be there with her big brother. She just loves him, "but no kisses" she says.
