Is it the weekend yet?

I hope that everyone had a good weekend!

Wyatt and I were roughin' it ourselves since Jon was working out of town. I feel like Wy tries to get away with more when it's just me, and he may just act a little goofier. I watched him run into a door...3 times...in a row. Sometimes I wonder if he's really all there. Ha.

On Saturday night, Cousin Kaitlyn came over to babysit Wyatt so that I could go play with some friends! We were both very excited. The babysitting actually consisted of doing her studying while Wyatt slept! BUT, nevertheless, I am still very thankful and will be asking her to do it again! Be prepared girl, because there will be the first time that you have to put him to sleep. YIKES.

Sunday - Wyatt, Cara, and I went to Houston so that we could try on our bridesmaid's dresses for our best friend's wedding! We met Mollie and Abby so that they could take Wyatt off our hands, because there is no telling what kind of terror that monster would bring at the Galleria! I had my first experience of buying emergency clothes that day. Like I have mentioned before, Wyatt has been going through the phase where everything needs to be removed and put somewhere else (i.e. the refrigerator). When Mollie got to the fields, Wyatt's shoes were no longer in his bag - flash foward to when we got back home: I found them in my bathtub - and we had to run to the outlet mall (BUMMER) to grab some shoes. THE CUTEST SKATER SHOES. A light jacket was also necessary. I sometimes feel like I get the justification for certain purchases from my mother. Sorry Mollie - it's true.

Wyatt has also been going through this deal where he likes to throw a HUGE fit when I drop him off at school. He holds onto my neck for dear life as if I'm leaving him forever. He then throws his toys at me as I'm leaving as if he is reminding me of how much he is thoroughly irritated. Such a Drama King.

Lastly, I went to the grocery store to get some food, obviously, and I ran across something unusual:

It's broccoflower! Is this not the weirdest thing you have ever seen? When did this happen? I am actually happy about it though, because I do enjoy me some broccoli and cauliflower. So why didn't I think of this???

I have some pictures to upload for you guys, but I can't find my tool that allows me to add them to my computer at the moment so I will do that ASAP!

Love you all!

It's about that time...

I think we are just going to have to get used to me posting twice in one day because I tend to have a hard time sorting out information in my brain!

First of all, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO POPPY! It was on Monday, and we are so thankful to have you in our lives! Wyatt, Jon, and I love you very much. Can't wait to see you soon.

Secondly, I was in Barnes & Noble yesterday, and was looking at the Bibles. I am in need of a new one. New chapters in my life are beginning so I thought it was fitting to get a brand new Word. Anywho, I was not aware of all the different types that there were, so finally to my question: What is a good type of Bible to get? I need one that's clear and to the point, and easy to follow when doing devotionals. I guess I mean one that is fitting for a fast-paced life, but can allow me to slooooowww down and get a good dose of Jesus. HELP!

I am starting a new thing! Fun Fact Fridays. So...
Did you know, more people are killed annually by donkeys then air crashes?

Have a wonderful Friday everyone! XOXO

TGIF

We have made it through another week! Congratulations to everyone.

Yesterday, after a long day of classes, Wyatt, Jon, Winny, Kaitlyn and I went to Wolf Pen Creek Park and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Wyatt has a new-found love for the slides and his laugh is music to my ears! He also thinks it's hilarious (as do I) when Jon shoves Winny down the slide. Who wouldn't think that a freaked out canine on a metal slant is pure comedy? There is also a HUGE hill (because the park is used for concerts) and Wyatt absolutely loved running up and down this "mountain".

But here is the funny story of the day folks: Kaitlyn and I were standing on the hill watching Wy run around and I turned to Kaitlyn to tell her something extremely important, I'm sure. We both glanced back at Wyatt to watch him running straight down a very steep part. In what seemed like a split second we watch him fly forward, do somewhat of a handstand with his feet flailing forward in the air, and continue to roll down for maybe 3 feet. We were stunned. Before I could even run down to see if he was okay, He stood up and started cracking up laughing. WHAT A DAREDEVIL! I thought, "I am such a terrible mother!" But when I saw that Kaitlyn, the sweetest, kindest, most caring person was laughing histerically, I knew that I was in the clear. The rest of that trip was spent watching Jon make Wy roll down the hill and get him as dizzy as possible. Truly as sight.

And I may kill Winny, because she probably pooped 4 times right in the middle of where everyone runs up and down. It was like she thought, "Oh, there's a well worn path! Let's get crap on someone's shoe!" Mollie, she may be coming to visit Scarlet permanently.

Cousin Kaitlyn came over and watched Planet 51 with us. We agree that it is cute, and would suggest it to children, but it in NO WAY competes with Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.

That is all I have for now. Love you all!

A Boy and His Fridge

I swore that I would never be the type of mother to celebrate every single event that occurs in my child's life, but as it turns out - that's quite unavoidable. I said all that to say: Wyatt is 14 months today! So think a quick little thought for our little man.

Over Spring Break, Jon informed me that Wyatt was getting yet another tooth (4 on the top and going on 3 on the bottom). When I was able to pry his destructive jaws open to look, I realized he is also getting 2 TOP MOLARS. Are you kidding me? As if his sweet little bite doesn't have enough sting to it.

Speaking of mouth, we all know Wyatt has been a loud one from day one. Jon and I hear "Dada", "Ball", and "DOH" (meaning dog) on a daily basis. Notice I didn't say "Mama". Neither does Wyatt. He is still in the just come on over and pull on my pants stage - but he sure as heck knows who I am, and tells everyone ELSE who "Mama" is; but it's never quite to my face. This is when I think it's just to tick me off. Well played Wy. I have been told to appreciate this while I can because once he wants to say it, he will never quit.

Here is my funny story for this post. We have been teaching Wy that we say THANK YOU for being HELPFUL. Obviously he is one, so we are being very basic (meaning, putting food in the fridge and picking toys off the floor). I was getting ready to take Wyatt to the playground and was listening to Wyatt babble and run around the house. He would bring me a sock or shirt and disappear for minutes at a time and would come back with another. I went to the kitchen to get his snacks ready and when I opened the fridge I found majority of his wardrobe in the fridge. I just couldn't stop laughing, and he of course was just so proud of himself. Clearly, we have mixed the message just a tad. I say, as long as things end up in either the fridge or a box, all is well.

Also, does anyone have any tips to end snoring? Because right now, as I look at my loving husband all I can think of is clogging up every hole on his face. I'm laughing nervously, but it is a possibility people. Let me know!

Hope you enjoyed those updates! Now it's time to get back to Calculus.

Welcome to my world!




Hello everyone!

I have finally found the perfect way to keep family and friends in the loop when it comes to the Geiger Family! As much as I love to talk to every single one of you, this is a much easier way for me to not have to repeat 10 stories up to 20 times! I know I'm a talker, but this lady needs a break!

Here is just a quick little introduction for those who may be unfamiliar with the Geiger group:

I have my sweet, crazy son Wyatt Joseph - who truly is the wildest child I have ever met. For those of you lucky enough to have met him already, you can definitely agree. But for those of you who may have your doubts: when I come on here and post my stories...you'll get the picture. Truly.

Also, I have my patient, funny husband Jonathan Austin. I don't know how he puts up with me, but in retrospect, I don't know how I put up with him either! I guess we are just a perfect pair!

And I am Lindy Catherine. I am a mom, sister, wife, daughter, granddaughter, great granddaughter, niece, and student (almost done!). I am the luckiest woman in the world to have been blessed with such wonderful men in my life. No matter how crazy they make me.

Love y'all and I will write soon!
