growing up

so much is happening at the Geelhoed's this month!

we are putting a bathroom upstairs, so the house is a constant disaster area.



I have still been doing hair at least one day a week. That is going great so far. I love being home with the boys and i love the day they are grandmas.:)



Steve started working on a new job this week. he will be working four 10 hour days and so he will be home Fridays! yay!

WE just had Jared's 2 month check up. He was off the charts, just like Timmy was. Another big kid:) He is already 16 1/2lbs! (my back knew that before i even put him on the scale!)

Tim just started sleeping in his "big boy bed" and is doing great. Although I went to check on him last night and the only part of him on the bed was his head and he was somehow sound asleep standing up!!

Tim has also started his singing career! "the bunny" is his favorite one to sing right now..

Not everyone is as lucky as i am. I have a mother in law who takes amazing pictures and even edits them to make my children look perfect!!! (well, i mean she doesn't do much editing bc they already are, but you know)

These are a few.

Aren't my kids cute:) I love them!

for my mom:) SOMEONE really didn't want his pic taken today!

Great Grandpa Smith and Jared

It's been too long once again. Lots has changed in the Geelhoed family! We added another little boy. Jared Scott....after uncle Scott:) Did I ever mention that my brother Scott is the greatest?! We have had so many awesome times together and he means so much to me that I couldn't imagine a better person to name my son after!:)

Tim has, in 4 weeks, come a VERY long way in regards to his little brother. I was thinking the first week Jared was home that i was going to have to give one of them away or our family just wasn't going to work anymore. :) Well, it is all starting to work out just fine..... just a little bit busier than before.

My once love for winter is wavering this year. I feel very very stuck at home with a newborn and an almost 2 year old. Spring is coming and I will be so very greatful for walks, and parks, and flowers blooming this year!

THANK YOU THANK YOU to all of you who made us dinner, sent us cards/gifts, stayed over so i could take a nap or a shower, called and listened to me cry and whine, made me cute gifts to keep me sane, made me laugh, etc. this past month! I couldn't have done it without you!

Tommorow is Feb. and this week I will be starting to do hair again! Crazy. It went WAY too fast. I honestly don't think I am ready to drop of Jared for 10 hours on Weds. I thought it would be easier with the second....but it's not at all. I will be looking forward to some adult conversation though! Bring it on. Please, if you are coming Weds. talk my ear off! I will love every minute of it!

Here's a few pics that i have accumilated over the last month.:) I think that's the way this blog is going to go....once a month. Let me know if I am slacking worse than that!

Christmas fun:)

I have decided after the Christmas festivities are almost over for this year that I LOVE CHRISTMAS once again! Don't get me wrong, it's always been great. But having a child just makes it a whole new experience again. Seeing everything through his eyes....wow....how fun.

Shoveling with dad

Tim's first "playing in the snow" experience was today! We bundled him up and sent him out to shovel with dad! He LOVED it:) I went out only to take pictures bc I decided it was a little too cold for me, but Tim didn't want to come in! I guess he takes after Steve in yet another area! (his ability to stay warm) Here are some pictures, sorry he isn't looking for any of them! He was consentrating way too hard to have time to look at me.

*****sorry i started this post more than a week ago. I finally uploaded the pics, so it's a little outdated.....but new all the same!:)
