It is definitely no secret that Mr. Trace is ALL BOY. He loves trucks, cars, motorcycles, fourwheelers, working on things, tools, dirt, animals, outside, but most especially tractors. Farm tractors, construction tractors, all tractors. He could name different types of tractors by the time he was two - diggers, backhoes, graters, rollers, dozers. He doesn't pass up a ride on his Daddy's tractor, and always wants to talk to his "Pappy Ed" on the phone to ask "Where's your tractor at?" Trace has a neverending supply of toy tractors. He sings the chorus from Joe Diffie's "John Deere Green". He demands to look at tractor videos on YouTube. We all remember the tractor halloween costume. Trace is just completely OBSESSED.
John has a great friend, who's name is John Miller. We always refer to him in conversation as "John Miller", as he has the same name as my husband, and 15% of all males. Likewise, Trace refers to him as "John Miller". "John Miller" is a heavy equipment operator. We pass his house every time we leave ours. For the last week, the company that he works for has had 2 backhoes and 4 dozers parked at his house. Trace has been BEGGING to go see "John Miller", and has even been playing with his toy tractors, calling one of them "John Miller". So, today, we took him over to visit. I'm surprised we got him to leave, he was in tractor heaven! I'm pretty sure that "John Miller" had just as much fun as Trace! Thank you so much for the great visit, John Miller!!!!
Hope you liked some of my attempts at creativity, Photobucket has some cool tools!
And now, here is a Trace on the Backhoe video!

OMG! The first picture is the cutest ever!!!! He sure does love tractors, you can tell with that huge happy smile of his! What a great time! Happy Valentine's Day! Hugs from Sonya!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you can tell Trace is just in his glory! His face shows it all! I think I may pass on showing these pics to Seamus, he's another heavy-machinery enthusiast...he may be demanding that we buy a backhoe!
ReplyDeleteOk he is ridiculously adorbale. I love how his jacket even has tractors on it (yes I totally noticed). He is so cute and his eyes so bright in the video. I am actually glad you poste this because I get what a bulldozer is but I really have a hard time distinguishing a digger, a backhoe and an excavator. They all look the same and are used synonomously in his truck books and it makes me annoyed! So help a friend out Trace!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pictures. He is getting more and more handsome!
It looks like he had an amazing time! When we first moved into our house one of the lots behind us was being built. Alex just loved watching all of the machines that were brought in. I can imagine that Trace was just in heaven. The pics were adorable!
ReplyDeleteHe really enjoyed himself!!! He would love the place my dad works at. He works for a power plant and drives all these HUGE Catapillar equipment! Jacob totally digs visiting Papa at work!! I wish we could get Trace here, he would never want to leave!!
ReplyDeleteThose are some adorable photos of Trace with his tractors. Looks like he has a future as a heavy equipment operator. Loved the video.
ReplyDeleteHe just looks like he's having a BLAST!! I love the John Deere hat! Too cute! All of the pictures are great, but my two favorites are his standing the in shovel part (not sure what it's really called) and the one where he's got his hand on the stick shift. Love his smile!
ReplyDeleteFlipping sweet! What a little boy's dream come true!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - those pictures of Trace are so adorable!! He is such a handsome boy and looks like he is in heaven with those tractors! I wish I would have recorded Simon looking at photos of his buddy and the video . . . he was so excited and kept laughing and smiling! He wants to visit Trace to play tractors and meet "John Miller"! :) Simon and I love your new background too!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome experience for Trace! I can't imagine a boy who wouldn't love that! How nice of "John Miller" to do that for Trace, but I am sure, like you said, he had as much fun as Trace.
ReplyDeleteHe is too funny! Thanks for the cute photos. Parker is "all boy" too -- his thing is cars, and he is obsessed with them!
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a great day for Trace! Ethan watched the video & kept saying "mommy he drivin a esvader!, I wanna drive a esvader!"(thats how he says escavader) He is obssessed with trucks& tractors too! Especially rescue trucks!
