So lets see summer is here, kids are home!  We r trying to keep as busy as we can!  Addison is doing Gymnastics and Cole is doing Basketball.  They will both be doing a week @ the Mesa Arts Center, ya’all know I love my kids to get creative! School finished great…straight A’s for both my kiddos …YAY!  Addison is now 7 (pics below)…I have not been being creative..I need to kick myself and get movin.  Our garden is doing Fabo…Lots of tomatoes and grapes!  I have finally begun to let Cole go off on his own more (eeks)..he is now allowed to ride his bike to a close friends home.  Hard to let him go, but when I think what I was doing in 4 th grade..I need to. Thank you all for the Birthday gifts for Addison, she was able to buy a new TV for her room (seeing as she put a magnet to her old one)!  It actually rained here last night…soo super kewl! I am excited to see all the new CHA releases.

Please pray for my Uncle Dick he is in much need of prayer, ty in advance.  Times like these I wish I lived closer…grrrr.  K now for some pics—- Blessings to you all!

My blog is embarrassingly behind..it has nothing to do with me @ all and not keeping it up.  This year has gone by like  ziiiippppp its almost April, yikes!  This year has blessed me with some amazing new friends and also has connected me with older friends through FB…and for that I am very grateful!  Cole turned 9 years old on the 20th.  I have a 9 year old…how did THAT happen.  I still feel like I am 23…hmm.  Addison has pulled out her 6th tooth.  YES she pulls out her own teeth..who does that?  I nevah did, nor Dale or anyone I know. Cole has lost 5 teeth but he is missing those 2 bottom adult teeth, so He will catch up.  Yesterday Cole did something so amazing for me.  We were @ a local store and Addison needed to use their restroom, so I went in with her and left Cole with the owner (been there sooo much we are friends) so anywho..I come out, Bought what I wanted.  As we were walking out the owner calls for Cole telling him he forgot his 5 $ bill…so he runs back and grabs it.  I asked him what he bought and he told me arrowheads (like over 100 is not enough but thats ok)  So we get home…I am down the hallway and Cole comes and tells me that my computer is broke.  So I come in here and OMGOSH!!!!!!  Laying on top of red tissue paper was this gorgeous hand made bead bracelet and also a lil decoration that says: “Wine Not”!! With a note saying from Cole with the total written down - $17.75!  Isn’t that just  the sweetest thing evah???? Totally made my night, he has such a BIG ♥

Tomorrow I am helping out @ the school in Addison’s class and then taking Addy for another surgery for her nose.  She gets bloody noses that are almost unstoppable @ times. .She is excited to have it done and not need to run to the school nurse 3 x a day!

I will post pics of what Cole bought me on here l8ter tonight here are some random ones for now….so check back

Hope everyone is doing fantastic, God Bless!

This 2009 year has brought some very interesting surprises into my life.  I made it through 08′ thinking that 2009 has GOT to be better.  So far it has been!!!  I am busy workin’ @ home and cleaning the house like a mad crazy woman for our showings…we have one tomorrow am  (say a quick prayer). My brother Josh and his wife Angelika are coming into town 2morrow am!!! I am soo excited to see them :)  Then later this month my sis Jenn is flying in to see the kiddos!  It should be a fun month..I hope they don’t mind sleeping on Cole’s bunk bed..or the air mattress.  No guest room..sighh.  I have been keeping a photo a day blog here —>  http://www.project365.juliegeiger.com  I have decided to make it into a motage of Photos from each week…easier to keep it up that way.  I hope I continue to do this through the entire year.

The weather has been nice and warm so I have been able to play outside with the kids a bunch.  I am sooo excited about the latest release from paper trunk..check it out here— http://www.papertrunk.com  AWESOME paper, stamps, alpha stickers, and die cuts!  I am sooo needing to make some lo’s with the new goodies..If only I did not have most of my stuff packed in boxes..unghhh. 

Here are 2 pics to share from my 365 project!

Blessings to you all!!! ♥♥♥~ Jules

I cannot believe its been over a month since I have updated my blog.  I think I have been busy updating facebook and neglected this.  Some pretty scary stuff happened today.  My kids gave me a letter when I picked them up from school- the letter basically said that today, Friday- a gun..a real gun, was found in one of the students backpacks!!!!!! Police came and took the child away- Yes child, they go to a K-5 school.   Makes me so mad.  Who are this child’s friends?  What grade?  I have so many questions that I know will not be answered. 

Last weekend Dale and Cole hiked to the top of the Superstition Mountain again!  This time they took a much harder trail (Dale is still sore..hehe)  Cole had a blast going through small caves and playing in little washes.  Dale took an awesome photograph of Cole sitting on one of the rims…OMgoodness, I am so glad I was not there, I would have freaked out.  Cole at 8 is such a trooper, he definately put all his energy to use that day!  Well here are some pics from their hike, hope you enjoy- xxoo Love you all!

We woke up to a nice surprise T-Day am when Addison was complaining of “itchy” spots on her tummy…So Nurse mom checks them out and YES we have the pox.  I was worried she may not get them and then I may have to consider the immunization (not something we wanted for our children).  So though we were just @ the Doc monday and found out she had Strep Throat, We called and there was a Doc on call who got her started on Acylivor right away.  It is suppose to help with the number of pox…but so far she is beating Cole by a landslide.  She is pretty uncomfortable but hopefully she will bounce back like Cole did.  Addison also lost her second front tooth last week!!! So now I am singing the song..” All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth” to her, she thinks I am a nut!  So here are some pics of my Dear Daughter…warning, she is crying in a few but I promise I am not a mean mom..lol!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we all have so much to be thankful for every day in this life. xo, blessings- Jules

Ahhhhhhhhhh A rootbear float makes everything all better!

Yep, thats right alot of itching going on over here..Cole got the chicken pox on Nov. 13th.  He was an absolute trooper, put up with the cool baths, the meds, and did a terrific job trying not to scratch =)  He still has some that have the scabs falling off but everyday I see less and less, Addison has not got them yet…but maybe had a mild case when she was younger..who knows.  Addison has had a fever off and on since Wed. of last week and she was not really complaining of anything just a headache..so finally today I took her in to the Doc and she has full blown Strep Throat…a g a i n! With her having no tonsils I don’t think she gets that sore of a throat, just the fever that does not go away. So 10 days of meds for her. 

I have started on some Christmas crafts with the kids and also some shopping, This year seems to have just flown right on by.  I also had some time to scrap a few Layouts so I will post those and pics of Pox Cole below..  No bites on our home yet, but we know it will sell if it is God’s plan for us to move our family.  So we pray and wait. 

I hope everyone has an extra special Turkey Day, and eat extra Turkey for us caz we are stuck home and have a Pizza to make and root bear floats for the kids!!!!  Love and Blessing to you all!- xo- Jules

Whoah….I think we have enough candy to last the next year or two..LOL!  So I wanted to share the kids dressed up this year….Cole is just something scary…and Addison is Anikin (from Star Wars), like I said No more girly costumes for Addison, sigh.  We had a blast, our community pool hosted a “Trunk or Treat”, so we walked down there with our big wagon and flashlight, glow sticks etc… The kids loved that, several adults were really dressed up!  They had the boxes that the kids put their hands in to guess what was inside…kinda creepy in the dark…hehe.  Cole loved a witch that was brewing up brains..(with dry ice), very cool!  Now we are dividing up the candy and adding to our prize box.

Hope everyone had a safe Happy Halloween!

This month has just flown…………zip, gone..onto November!  I think the flu was in our home this entire month..yuck.  Cole and Addison are very excited to go Trick or Treating tomorrow, Addison chose to be a guy from Star Wars (yes a guy..LOL) and Cole is being something Scary with a mask this year.  What happened to my Princess and Bob the Builder?  So Addison is growing out of her Princess phase and is more interested in Cole’s games and guys than anything else right now, I still canot get her to take even a practice Dance class..sigh.  Though at school yesterday she did mention to me she may…may, want to try Gymnastics!!!

This week we got our pumpkins..I don’t know if I ever had pumkins this big in my life, but the kids wanted these huge ones to carve out, so we decided to give it a shot.  Below you will see pics of the finished pumpkins…What A MESS, I didn’t think the stuff inside would e v e r end.  They are both very proud of their designs they drew and also their help in carving!  So tomorrow we go out for candy, I will post more pics later!  Happy Halloween!

Love to you all!!!!!!!

Addison and Cole have always had such a happy spirit about them.  People always comment on how they just shine.  While cleaning out and packing things up I came across so many older photographs and little notes.  Notes of comments my children would make to me and I wrote down, so I would not forget.  I think I could feel a 4″ binder with “Love” notes from Cole and Addison, written to me.  I think I got about 7 this weekend alone.  Every little spot I turn, I find little folded up notes from both kids, they just make me smile and remember how special all these little moments are.  Addison says some things that honestly blow my mind.  When I was driving them home from school 2 weeks ago, Addy shares this with me:

“Mommy, if I could be any animal in the whole world I would want to be a Bird.” why sweetheart, I ask? “Well then It would be so easy for me to fly through the clouds and get to Heaven and see God, Grandma Mary, Grandpa Warren, and all the Angels”  “I would tell them how much I love them (everyone) them and how much you miss them (my mom and dad).” “Then I could just fly back down here to our house and be with you again, whenever I wanted”

She is so special, she says these things and they just thump right into my heart which I swear skipped a few beats during this convo.

I went through some photographs on my older hard drive and found some from they were younger, wow they change WAY to fast!!!!!!!  Along with the kids changing, we are making some changes.  We have put our house up on the market, please pray that it sells timely.  We need to get the kids in a different school district for their middle/high school years. We are looking at the town Gilbert in Az. right now, we shall see where the cards fall.  I hope everyone is having a blessed weekend, love to you all!!!
