adventures

Well we have been very busy the last few weeks. Its different having kurt at work. I miss having him around to help out with the kids and its always nice to have someone to talk to. I am loving being off work and spending time with the kids.. i really wish i could stay at home but oh well it will be interesting to go back to work, at least i still have a month to enjoy the time off. (this is a lot longer than i expected.. but its been fun)

So kurt took cailyn for her first ride in the miata.. she only went to my moms and back but she loved it. She was pointing out the window at everything and asking "whats that?"

We were getting ready one day and cailyn walked into jarrods room and walked toward the living room with a couple diapers, she went back and forth a few times and i didnt think anything of it until i walked out into the living room and jarrod was covered she truly is a great helper.

Bree and i decided to take cailyn and jackson to the tree house museum one day last week. Neither of had ever been to the new one they built so it was a lot of fun to see everything they had. Cailyn loved it. She could run and scream and play without getting in trouble.

Once she realized she could move the pieces she had fun moving them around

They had a music room which was perfect for her since she loves music, she had fun making noise but kept trying to push on the fake piano pieces on the outside of the room.

Jackson loved this. You push the button and it asks you a question and you have to find the picture on the map. Cailyn was so amused and confused that it would ask a question. Every time it said "stop" she would stop and look around trying to find who was talking.

She loved that she could walk up the stairs while holding onto the railing without any help.

She had fun drawing with the chalk. but apparently it didnt taste very good cuz when she put it in her mouth she took it out and threw it.

Her favorite thing was this firetruck she kept going back to it and was really good about being patient and waiting her turn to drive it.

Our other adventure this past weekend was dinner for Grandma Geigers birthday at ABC Mandarin. They have wonderful food and its always a lot of fun.

cailyn was eating grandmas birthday ice cream

watching the owner play music for everyone (i have no idea what the instrument is called, but he also plays a tea leaf i think)

The family

Weve had a lot of fun, and Jarrod does great on the outings with everyone. He is just so happy to be held. He is getting so big, he smiles at everyone and rolls over. but his favorite thing to do is watch his sister. He gets a huge smile on his face when she walks up to him and talks to him. The dogs are doing such a good job with both kids, they keep there distance and if marley gets to close ali puts him in his place. It been crazy but whats life without a little adventure.

new year

Well so far its been a crazy month. Kurt went back to work and its been a challenge getting the kids used to him working. We've had fun though. Cailyn is getting much more comfortable with Jarrod. If he's crying she brings his bottle over to him and tries to feed him. She still doesn't like to hold him, as long as she knows he's ok she's happy. He is getting so big, rolling over and smiling.

she loves to play with the tools.
this is her new favorite past time.. now if only i could get her to put the cans back when she's doneplaying with the spoon instead of eating dinner

bath time for jarrod

christmas time

So December has been crazy but fun. We started out the month welcoming home Jarrod then we started the Christmas fun. Here are some pictures from December. Cailyn had a great Christmas. She wasn't sure about the presents on Christmas eve, but started to understand in the morning. However by the time we got to my parents house she was completely done with Christmas and sat in the play room and watched toy story. She didn't even come into the living room with all the presents. But the next day she had fun playing with all her toys all day. Jarrod however slept pretty much all day but he still got a lot of cute things.

She got this garage but thinks its a slide. So instead of cars everything else gets pushed down it. She is actually trying to slide down it in this picture.
Ali and Marley got raw hides for Christmas. Of course Ali stole both of them.

She was trying to open the present

Its his touchdown pose.

She was trying to feed her baby. And she has tried to give this bottle to Jarrod many times

She is playing rockband with dad and Cristian.. oh and muno (which she carries everywhere with her now)

Making gingerbread houses with lynn and ty. Cailyn has since tried to eat all the candy off of them.

Looking at the lights in Ogden

She loves to play in the snow.

jarrod mathew

Well he's finally here... Jarrod Mathew Geiger was born on Sunday Dec 6th at 11:54 am. He weighed 6 lbs 15 oz and was 19 inches long. He has been such a good baby so far. Only cries when he is hungry or wants to be held. We cant wait to bring him home so everyone can finally meet him.
