Wolfley Family

Tough guy!

2010-07-25T17:14:00.001-07:00

Inspired by my sister Kelltie, Tim decided to give Kaleb a mohawk. It was pretty hard because he was moving his head so much, so it's a little off center. But we still think it's pretty cute. We had to put him in a tank top and a tough guy tatoo to match the look.

Funny Things

2010-07-23T13:15:00.000-07:00

Kaleb sees Jane playing her video game and he really wanted to try. I thought it looked pretty cute.

One morning, I came into the kitchen to find Jane sharing her cereal with Kaleb, who is always trying to mooch off everybody.

It's amazing how quickly my kids grow and change. The last couple of weeks, Kaleb seems to have grown up so much! He suddenly started talking more, not that anybody but me and Tim can understand what he's saying, but I'll take what I can get. He now says Mom, Dad, dog, more, uh oh, and ball. His absolute favorite thing to do is wrestle on the floor with his dad and seems to think he was made just for that purpose. He has a smile that EVERYBODY loves and is just the sweetest little boy. We just went to his 18 month appointment and his head is still in the 80%, weight is 28% and now his height is only the 2%. The poor little guy keeps getting shorter and shorter, but I think it's pretty cute.

Jane is always talking non-stop and constantly saying the funniest things. One night at dinner, she was very upset that she had to eat just one green bean and after about 5 minutes of refusing to swallow and finally gagging it down, she paused for a minute and said, "I feel healthy!" Me and my mom couldn't stop laughing about it. Also, when we were at Echo Lake, the room that we were in had a dresser with a mirror on top and Tim found Jane on top of the bed, completely naked checking herself out in the mirror making different poses. When she saw Tim come in she told him very proudly, "I have a big bum!" Too funny! At least she's confident in herself.

Romeril Reunion

2010-07-21T13:04:00.001-07:00

At the end of June we all got to go up to Echo Lake in Montana for a couple of days. My enitre family was there, which doesn't happen very often, and it was so nice to be able to see everybody. Especially Jeff, who I don't think I've seen him since the last time we were at the lake, probably about 2 years ago. We were lucky enough to have my Uncle David be there to drive us around in his boat. We went on lots of tube rides and all of the kids had a blast!

I think this must have been just after a big wave.

Jane was so happy to have her daddy around to play with so much!

When ever Tim or I was on the tube, the dogs would jump in the water after us. Sammy realized she couldn't catch us and would turn around and swim to shore, but Maverick would just keep swimming and had to be rescued everytime.

These pictures aren't the best, but I thought the whole sequence was too funny, I had to put it in.

Those lifejackets never look very comfortable. Poor Kaleb. He just wanted to be in the water the whole time and nothing else would make him happy.

That is one full tube! I think Kaleb was trying to get Tim to let him go the whole time.

After that we had some rain and cold weather, so we didn't really want to play in the water anymore, but we still had fun hanging out. One day Tim and I went to the "House of Mysteries." We saw it driving past and couldn't help but check it out. It's supposedly a natural vortex and you are supposed to be able to feel the enery of it pulling on you. The coolest part is that it made the tree branches grow in spirals around the trunks, but other than that I think it's all pretty hokey. But it was so much fun to just be all together and relax!

Wolfley Family Reunion

2010-07-20T16:55:00.000-07:00

At the beginning of June, me and the kids were able to go out to Shelly's house for the Wofley Family Reunion. Tim wasn't able to come because of work and school, and I was pretty nervous about going on a trip like that without him, but lucky for me, Tim's family is so great and they really helped me out. The first day we had more people flying in, so we had to stay close to the house, but we had a great time. All the little girls had fun playing with each other and they even got Grandpa on the trampoline with them for a little bit!

The next day we went to a childrens museum (I think that's what it was, but it was really more like a big activity center). It was so cool! There was something for all the kids to do. We started with story time.

Then we went up to the bubble room, which I thought was the coolest. The girls are standing inside a big square that goes down into the bubble solution and then when they pull the rope it brings it up around them and makes a huge bubble around them.

A fog comes out of those hoses, so you can put the hose in the bubble solution and it makes a bubble full of fog and then when the bubble pops, it all comes out.

They had a little grocery store for the kids to play in. Kaleb just liked pushing the cart around

and Jane liked playing in the kitchen.

After that we went to Jump Street and had a ton of trampolines. In one of the areas there they had a game of dodge ball going. I didn't play for very long, but it was pretty fun. I can't remember the last time I played dodge ball.

For dinner that night, we went to a really good Italian buffet. Kaleb is a very picky eater and on top of that he was very tired from late nights and no naps, so he was extremely grumpy, so I was able to get him to eat a little bit of a bread stick, an desserts. As you can see, he really enjoyed those.

It was kind of a stressful trip just because the kids got very little sleep. One night they fell asleep in the car coming home and didn't even wake up at all as I was changing them into their pj's. But aside from all that, we had a really good time. It was nice to see everybody and visit. Thanks for having us Shelly!

5th Anniversary!

2010-07-19T17:06:00.000-07:00

Then and now!

I know I'm kind of behind since my anniversary was two month ago, but I still have to post about it because it was awesome! We took our first trip with just the two of us since our honeymoon. Unfortunately, tim was limited since Tim is working and doing school like crazy and we were lucky we even got the 3 days that we got. With limited time, that meant we couldn't travel far if we wanted to have more than one day to play, so, we went to Las Vegas! The first night we got there, we went to see Phantom of the Opera. I wish they let you take pictures because the theater is amazing! The next day we spent a lot of time just walking around and looking in all the shops.

That night we went up to the top of the Stratosphere tower to go on the rides. Only one was open because there was too much wind, but it was still pretty cool. It's the tallest building in Vegas and they said that the tower can sway 2 feet from side to side. The ride we went on held you out over the side of the tower and then dropped you forward like you were falling off. I was the only person screaming and I may have embarrassed Tim, but I still had lots of fun!

After that we went to Freemont Street. I think that is my favorite place in Vegas. It is so fun to walk down the street with all the lights and look at all the street vendors. There was a guy there that will sculpt a little clay model of your face while you wait. The spray paint artists are pretty cool too. We also almost got pummeled by a fight. We were watching these two kids from a little way off and I didn't think they were actually going to do it, just trying to act tough and then the next thing we know, other people came after one of the guys calling him a wuss and they were all falling our way very quickly throwing punches at each other and one barely missed Tim as he was trying to get me out of the way. Later we saw one of the kids with a bloody nose and blood all over his shirt and it looked like he was trying to find another fight. Some people...

When we saw these show girls, I jokingly asked Tim if he wanted to take a picture with them and he sheepishly said he did. I thought the whole thing was so funny.

The light show was amazing! We didn't know about it and were on our way out when it started. I'm so glad we were still there when it started. I can't even explain how cool it was. The one we saw was a Kiss themed show. From the sounds of it, they do a different one every hour, but we didn't stay long enough to see any others.

I can't beleive Tim and I have been married for 5 years. In some respects it seems like the time has gone by so fast, but it also seems like I can't even remember what it was like to not be together. I can't imagine not being with Tim. The last 5 years have been amazing with many life changes. I feel so lucky to have such a hard working mand for my husband. I know that there isn't anything Tim wouldn't do for our family. He is the best I could ask for! I love you honey!

Family Pictures

2010-05-14T11:13:00.000-07:00

In march we were lucky enough to have my friend Kalli come and take our family pictures for us. I love how they turned out! I was amazed how many good ones she was able to get because my kids were not cooperating at all. I guess she's just that good! Thanks so much Kalli!

This Year So Far

2010-05-08T12:12:00.000-07:00

I know that I am way behind on my blogging. We've had some computer issues over the last couple months, and in the process, I lost some pictures, including Kaleb's first birthday. Needless to say, I was pretty upset, but I'm going to catch up on this year so far with the pictures that I still have.

I LOVE his sweet little smile! This was back in January, just chillin'.

Jane found a box of Nerds and I came down to find that she had poured some out for her and Kaleb and was so happy to tell me that she was sharing. How could I get after her for that?

She was even helping feed them to him.

She loves posing for the camera!

Kaleb absolutely loves this little chair of Janes so much that if she tries to sit in it he flips out and runs over to try and push her out of it.

In February we took Jane bowling for the first time and she had so much fun! Of course she thought that it should always be her turn.

She bowled as good as I did, but in my defense, she had bumpers.

Starting the day after New Years, we remodeled our kitchen. We thought it would take us about two weeks, and those two weeks turned into six. But all that work was so worth it! I love my new kitchen! I lost the before picture. Oops.

The cabinets used to be a dark wood and we stripped them down, sanded them and used a milk paint. We did an undercoat of brown and then two coats of cream and antiqued them a little bit and then did four coats of varnish. It all took forever! But I think they turned out pretty good! Tim added those shelves on the side.

I love my new sink and faucet! I was so excited about them!

We added the frame around the pantry and got new doors. We also replaced all the shelves in the pantry and cupboards and some slide out shelves in the lower ones, replaced all the sliders on the drawers, painted the walls and installed a water line for the fridge. I love that Tim is so good at doing this kind of stuff! Thanks honey!

One Saturday, we really needed to get out of the house and do something, so we took the kids to the dinosaur museum. Jane was excited about the 3D movie, but then it scared her. She did like it looking like those big dinosaurs were coming at her.

Kaleb loved the movie, laughed when the dinos roared, and even reached out trying to touch them.

Jane is doing her dinosaur face.

She loved playing in the sand!

And this is her shark face.

Digging for bones!

I thought this was so funny because it looks like he's peeing.

He loved the ricecrispie treat at dinner after.

My Jane tunred 3 this year. We had a little family party with the cousins and she couldn't have been more excited to have to much attention on her. She got lots of great presents! Thanks everyone!

Kaleb spent most of the night in his chair happy about all the good food.

I made Jane a new blanket for her bed! It didn't turn out perfect, but I was happy with it!

I made Jane's cake at 10:00 the night before her party and it fell apart coming out of the pan, so in the morning I just went and bought one, but Jane was excited because she got to pic it out!

And once again, she loved having all the attention on her.

Yummy cake!

On Janes actually birthday, we got her ears peirced. She had been saying for the whole month before and she wanted to get it done and it was going to be a little poke and then she would have earing! But when we got there, she chickened out, but I knew that she really did want it done, so Tim held her down and they just did it. As soon as it was over she loved showing them to whoever would look. After, we took her to Pirate Island, her favorite place. This is her pirate face.

Jane wanted to play all the big kids games with Tim.

I won the jackpot! Look at all those tickets! I think it was close to 1500 tickets! It was awesome! Jane got lots of little toys when we were all done.

Kaleb went through a little stage where he loved rubbing his peanut butter and jam sandwhich all over his hair. He thinks it's pretty funny.

One morning I walked in Kaleb's room to find them both reading books so nicely together! I loved it!

Tim got this fake moustache for Kaleb. He didn't like it, but it gave me a good laugh.

My sister-in-law Jenny and her kids came down for Easter weekend. We were really sad that Jeff couldn't come too, but it was lots of fun to have them here. We got to paint eggs. Jane was concentrating pretty hard on it.

And the kids loved the egg hunt!

Cousins all sitting in a row! Jensen loves posing for the camera.

Jane and Chelsa were so cute together. They have very similar little personalities, so half the time they got along really well, and then rest of the time, not so much. A couple times they charged each other down, both giving such attitude. It was hillarious!

Aren't we cute!

Chloe was so cute with Kaleb. She took him around everywhere playing with him and she was so sweet. He really liked her.

They were so funny on the seesaw because Jane weighed more then Chelsa, so she was in the air a lot of the time and they couldn't really figure out how to make it work right.

I tried getting Kaleb to color. He was pretty excited about it, but mostly just ended up playing with the crayons and trying to eat them.

I love this cute little guy! At his 15 month appointment they said he was only in the 9% for height, 20% for weight, but 80% for head. He is finally walking, and starting to say a couple words like daddy, more and uh-oh. He is a little boy who definatly knows what he wants, but is also so sweet! He is starting to get a little bit more independent and wonder off from me and play with other people, but I'm still his favorite and he doesn't wonder off for long.

Jane is so energetic all the time. She makes it hard to keep up with her, but she is always saying the funniest things and making everybody laugh. She loves to make up her own songs and is obsessed with anything princess. She's starting to make more friends and loves going to nursery. She loves to help me around the house, even if it isn't always very helpfull. I love this little girl! When did she get so big!

A Couple of Firsts

2009-12-23T14:07:00.000-08:00

This last week Kaleb got his first hair cut. This is his before. Isn't he SO cute!

And this is the best after picture I could get. It is so short now. I have to say, I was kind of sad, because now he looks older and not like my sweet little baby any more! But, I'm getting used to it and I like being able to spike it now.
The next day, Kaleb got his first taste of pop and LOVED it. I wasn't supposed to know about it, but when I came down stairs, he gave me a huge smile and dived for the pop can. He was really sad when Tim finally took it away.

We are so lucky to be such good friends with Santa the he comes to visit us. Most of the kids thought it was great. Owen was pretty shy, and Charlie and Kaleb didn't want to have anything to do with him, but the rest of the kids loved it. Jane was so cute. As soon as Santa pulled her present out of his bag, she knew it was for her. She gave a little gasp and started walking toward him before he even said her name. She got a sticker maker and has been loving it. She tells me how cute and wonderful her present is and it was "so nice for Santa" to bring it for her.
Kaleb didn't want to have anything do to with him. It didn't help that it was past his bedtime and he really wanted his mommy.
He never recovered until I went and got him, and then he was very happy to leave to group and go straight to bed.
Us adults had a lot of fun having a fondue party. Tim makes great fondue and we all stuff ourselves silly. I love Christmas so much and can't wait for Christmas Day!

Catch Up

2009-12-08T12:11:00.000-08:00

We had a great Thanksgiving. I decided to host it at my house this year and I definitely learned how much work it takes to put it all together, but it was so much fun! We had both mine and Tim's parents and my sister Brittney and bother Matt and there families. It was quite a crown and lots of fun to get everybody together.

I can't believe how old Kaleb is getting! He's going to be 11 months next week. He still doesn't crawl on his hands and knees, but that doesn't stop him from getting where he wants to go, including inside the dog kennel.

He LOVES to hold your fingers and walk around or even just stand beside the couch. The silly little boy just won't eat regular food. He's pretty intent on staying on baby food as long as I'll let him. But it's hard to be frustrated with him when he shoots a smile my directions. I don't think smiles come any cuter than his!
The other night when I went in to check on him I found he had buried his head in his blanket. Super cute!

I can't believe how old Jane is getting either. She is excited about everything all the time and rarely stops talking, even when she's alone. She loves to go to the library and get new books. She absolutely adores her Daddy and won't leave him alone the second he gets home. Her new favorite thing to do is hide-and-seek. However, it's not too hard to find her because she can't stop giggling while she's hiding.

We got some good snow yesterday so we took Jane out to play in it. She looks like she's plotting something.

Sometimes Kaleb will just start laughing and you don't know what he's laughing it, but he is so cute!

Halloween!

2009-11-13T13:51:00.001-08:00

I know it's a little bit late, but I wanted to post some pictures of the kids in their Halloween costumes. We had so much fun this year. Jane LOVED Trick-or-Treating and would hardly let us pass a house. She is getting to be more and more fun the older she gets. Kaleb didn't care for it too much. I ended up taking him out of his stroller and carrying him a lot of the way. But they both had fun showing off their costumes to Grandma and Grandpa!

I let Jane wear makup and she LOVED it! I don't think she has ever held so still in her entire life as when I was putting it on her and she loved to show it off to everybody.
It was really hard to get a good picture of them. Kaleb was too busy trying to eat his golf clubs.

New Pictures

2009-10-30T17:09:00.000-07:00

We got more pictures done of the kids. Jane was much less cooperative this time, but we still got some cute shots.

Recent Things

2009-10-14T13:18:00.000-07:00

Wow, it seems like life has drastically sped up and I don't know how it happened. We are always busy around here. These kids constantly keep me on my toes and it seems like we always need to go shopping for something. I swear, it never ends. Tim's really busy these days too. He's working 50+ hours a week and going to school full time, so we don't see him much these days, but that's going to slow down soon. Not many people want to buy windows in the winter. But with all that's going on, we still manage to have some fun! Here's some on the goings on over the past little while.

Jane loves to play "Punch Out" with Tim. It's pretty cute. I think Kaleb likes to watch too. He looks pretty into it.

One day I was doing some things in the kitchen and turned around to find Jane "dancing" with Kaleb.
I bought Kaleb this skeleton Halloween costum, but his head was far to big for it. He cried when I took it off because it took quite the tug, so I had to take it back, but I thought he looked pretty cute in it anyway! And of course Jane had to be in the pictures too.

We went to the Zoo again. They have so many babies right now! We got to see the baby elephant

and the baby giraffe. They had baby tigers too but they were kind of hard to see in the grass.

Afterwards we went to dinner. Tim was SO proud of how perfect his icecream turned out.

I can't even believe how big Jane's mouth is. This doesn't even look real to me.

The first night it got cold, Tim and I set up the air mattress downstairs so we could sleep by the fire. The next morning, Jane thought it was the best place to watch TV.

Jane loved snuggling with Sammie while we watched conference.

Sammie loved it too.

Sylvia Keller, one of the women Tim worked with a lot on his mission was in Salt Lake for Conference. We saw her at the mission reunion and so Tim invited her over for dinner after Conference. It was a lot of fun to get to know her. Jane really enjoyed showing off for her and taking pictures of her.

Yesterday I decided it would be fun to make sugar cookies with Jane. She had so much fun! She was really good at sprinkling flour on top of the dough,

and rolling it out,

and cutting them out! Of course, she needed just a little help.

Look at all that icing!!

I think she did pretty good for a 2 year old!

And of course, you can't ice cookies without eating a little of the icing, who cares if it gets on your face!

Kaleb is getting bigger and sweeter all the time. He has turned into quite the Momma's boy. Part of me kind of likes it, but it can also be a pain. He still doesn't move around much. Mostly he just likes to sit on the floor or in my lap and play with his toys. He loves Jane as long as she plays soft and loves the dogs! He just had 3 teeth on the top all come in at the same time. He was so miserable! But now it's over! Even when he's sad, he'll smile at anybody and even though he smiles all the time at everybody he sees, it's the kind of smile that still makes you feel special.
I'm trying to start him on a little bit more solid foods that he has to chew, and he doesn't like it very much. I think it's going to take more time than it took Jane. But he likes his cookies!

I feel so lucky to have such a great family! Tim is so great and works so hard to take care of us! He is so good with the kids and Jane can't get enough of him. I couldn't ask for a better husband and best friend.

Wisconsin Dells

2009-10-14T13:04:00.000-07:00

About a month ago I got to go on a weekend gettaway with Kelltie and no kids to Wisconsin Dells. It was so much fun and just what we needed. The first thing we did when we got to the hotel was go on a zipline tour. It was so much fun. It consisted of 5 zip lines, each progressively getting longer and faster until the last one was the length of 3 football fields.

Don't we look great!

Us in our hotel room. This place had tons of waterparks so we spent all day Saturday going to different ones.

We decided to get all cute on Saturday night and go shopping, to dinner and a movie. This was just some crazy building we drove past on our way back from breakfast. I'm not sure what's inside, but it looks like it would be cool!

It was so much fun to be able to spend the weekend with Kelltie! I can't wait to do it again! Thanks for the trip Kelltie!!!

Pirate Island

2009-09-11T13:37:00.000-07:00

This week the new Pirate Island opened by University Mall. Me and Tim and been waiting and waiting for it to open, so we had to take the kids. It was even cooler than I thought it was going to be. The inside is amazing and so much fun! All the waiters dress up and ours even did a pirate voice and had a Jack Black thing going on. It was a lot of fun. I recomend going to everybody, even if you don't have little kids!

The pirate hats are actually the kid menus.
Jane and Tim had so much fun playing all the games together!

And Kaleb too!

Wolfley Family Reunion 2009

2009-09-10T09:25:00.000-07:00

This year for the Wolfley reunion we went camping near Jill's place in Pinetop Arizona. You'd never guess it was in Arizona because it's not nearly so hot or desert looking. There are lots of beautiful pine trees all over. It was great of Jill to plan the whole thing for us! However, it will probably be a while before we make another drive that long. Kaleb doesn't sleep very well in the car. He hardly took any naps in the car so he was crying a lot of the drive and we didn't even get to our campsite till late that night. It was 11:30 before we got our tent up and I could put him to bed. It was the end of a very long and stressful day. He and Jane were not very happy. However there was one really funny part of the drive. We stopped at a gas station and got Jane a little toy to keep her occupied and when we took it up to the counter, Jane said, "Two hundred thousand dollars." We couldn't stop laughing.

The next day we woke up to a chilly morning. I thought Kaleb looked pretty cute all bundled up next to the fire!

We were lucky and when the sun came out it really warmed up! The kids had lots of fun playing in the dirt together!

And then all the other kids were done. I don't think Jane noticed. She stayed there for quite a while by herself.

And she loved it!

Jane was really excited to go on the 4-wheeler with Tim. I think she looks pretty cute in the helmet!

Sammie really liked chasing them. She could keep up pretty well, even when they went fast. I love this picture. If you make it big you can see her perfect form!

After the ride she gave me a great thumbs up. Even though her face doesn't look that thrilled, she had a great time!

That afternoon we went fishing. The sun went behind the clouds and it got kind of chilly.

Jane got her own new fishing pole for the trip, however, she got bored quickly, but it sure was cute watching her and her daddy. Nobody caught anything, it wasn't a very good spot, but all the kids enjoyed it anyway.

I thought this shot turned out really pretty.

Kaleb didn't enjoy being out there so much. It was too cold.

Jane didn't understand why she couldn't have one of the paddles, but she loved conoeing anyway.

Jane's second 4-wheeler ride. I like that helmet on her even better!

Cute snuggle time!

Our second day there, all the women went to Jill's house to take a shower and left all the men to go shooting. As soon as we left, it started to rain pretty hard. Instead of going shooting, the men built this little shelter. I'm so glad they did because it was still raining when we came back and it was great to have a place to sit out of the rain! They didn't have any nails so that had to tie the logs together with ropes. The did a great job! It was very sturdy! I think building that was one of Tim's favorite parts of the trip.

A shot of our camp site after the rain stopped. She the pretty rainbow in the background?

Our tents were through the trees away from everything else. Our is the little blue and grey one.

The tent site!

The look out from where out tents were. It was so pretty there!

I love how when kids reach into a bag of chips the bag gets closer to the ground when they are reaching in to the bottom. Jane was having a hard time reaching clear down there!

From the looks of it, she managed to get enough out.

When we were packing up camp I was worried about when we were going to do for Kaleb's nap since there would be no quiet place to put it. He's very picky about where he sleeps. We just put him in his playpen while we were packing things up in the tent and amazingly he fell asleep even with us in there doing stuff and making noise. So then when it came time to take the tent down, me and Tim just picked up the playpen and carried it out and he stayed asleep! I was so amazed.

I sure thought he looked cute just sleeping outside in the trees.

He was pretty happy about it when he woke up too!

We were so glad Uncle Kevin was able to make it! All the kids ( and us too) loved having him there!

Poor Sammie. She always gets put in clothes, but it's so funny!

Silly Baby

2009-08-23T18:55:00.000-07:00

From the title of this post, you may think that I'm referring to Kaleb. You would be wrong. I'm talking about Jane. We took Jane's soother (pacifier) away from her a couple of months ago, but every once in a while, she still asks for it. Tonight she really wanted it in the car while we were driving home, so we tried telling her that she's a big girl and big girls don't have soothers, only babies. In response, she was telling us that she wasn't a big girl, she was a baby. We tried to persuade her otherwise, telling her that babies go to bed early, don't get treats and have to eat baby food. She didn't seem to mind that and said the rest of the way home that she was a baby and wanted baby food. We were more than happy to oblige her and when we got home, she was put in the high chair like a baby. I was worried this was going to backfire on us because she looked very pleased at being in the high chair. Tim gave her some baby food green beans. She said, "Don't like it." and then said that she wanted a banana. We told her that she had to get out and sit in the big girl chair to eat her banana. She didn't want to and said that she would eat more baby food. Tim gave her another bite and her face turned to complete disgust and she actually dry heaved on it. I thought for sure she was going to puke. After that, she consented that she was a big girl and would eat big girl food. I was trying so hard not to laugh in front of her, but I just thought this story was too funny not to share. She is quite the character and makes me laugh every day.

Jane was looking over at Tim laying on the floor and must have thought he looked comfy. She studied very closely how he was laying and copied him.

Kaleb loves his swing!

But sometimes he looks up at the mobile and then can't lift his head back up again and I look over to see him very upset.

Jane is always wanting to hold Kaleb. I'm so lucky they like each other so much!

Kaleb before his bath. Can you believe he can actually reach his feet over that big belly?

Jane is the best at getting Kaleb to laugh. At the end she is singing her favorite song. She loves to sing and is getting better all the time!

The Different Sides of Jane

2009-07-30T18:48:00.000-07:00

The sweet and precious side. . .
. . . and the super silly side! I absoluetly love this girl! She is always doing something funny that makes me laugh. Now every times she changes her clothes she wants to do this and tries to get me to take a picture again. She is talking more and more all the time. I guess I should rephrase that, she has always talked and talked and talked. Now she is starting to talk in sentences and is getting a lot better at expressing her thoughts. She says some of the funniest things. The other day, we went to McDonalds and Tim gave her the little toy, a beanie baby monkey. The next morning she told me, "Daddy give monkey me. I so lucky!" I thought it was so cute! That night she had a babysitter and when Kaleb went down to bed he cried a little bit and Jane said to the babysitter, "Poor little guy." The next day, Tim play hit me in the bum and Jane turned around and said to him, "Don't hit mommy! Not funny!" I love being able to play with her and see her little mind working and see a little bit of her sense of humor. She is always looking for new ways to have fun.

Kaleb is getting bigger and bigger all the time. I wonder if he is ever going to slow down. He has only just recently started rolling from his back to his tummy, but still can't do it the other way around, which is really frustrating to him! He is doing really well at sitting up all by himself, unless he's tired, and then that big head is just too heavy to keep up! He's been sleeping through the night for about the past 2 weeks which is amazing!!! I'm loving that! He also got 2 little teeth about a month ago. They are so cute! I love every single minute I'm with this little guy. All it takes is for you too look at him and he gets the biggest grin which always makes me happy no matter how upset I was before. I'm so excited to see him grow and see how his little personality developes. I'm so blessed to have two amazing kids!

Stuff that I missed before Kaleb was born

2009-07-27T13:44:00.001-07:00

I was going through some old pictures and realized that there is a lot of stuff that I forgot to blog about before Kaleb was born. There were so many cute things I had to put them all on, so here's a big one! Jane was a princess for Halloween!
I don't think she quite understood what was going on, but she enjoyed it anyway!

I was trying on her new hat a mittens to make sure they fit and she loved it!

She wore them for about another hour until she got frustrated by not being able to use her fingers.

We put the seat back on the exersaucer for a friends baby and the next day I came around the corner to find that Jane had gotten herself in there and decided it was a great place to sit and watch TV . . .

. . . until she couldn't figure out how to get out of it.

I put the ottoman up there so I could vacuum. I have to idea how he managed to get up there. I guess he's smarter than I give him credit for.

For Thanksgiving we got to go out with all of Tim's family to Shelly's house in Denver. It was a trip we will not soon forget. We had so much fun hanging out and all of the kids had fun playing together. Some of the kids made a little store with items made entirely out of paper. I think they made some pretty decent money. The adults got to go out to a comedy club and dinner which was so much fun! We also went to the aquarium and had lots of fun! But, for how much fun it was, it was equally terrible. About half of everybody there got sick at some point throughout the trip. Tim's mom spent most of Thanksgiving day in bed. Also that day, we couldn't figure out why Jane didn't want to eat anything till that night, she threw up. It was her first time ever throwing up and it was horrible. I instinctuallly put my hands out to catch it, although that did not save the carpet. It just made it so that it was on me too. Meanwhile, while I was holding it, everybody else just sat there and looked at me. I don't think anybody quite new what to do. She kept throwing up threw the night and into the next day, but luckily, it was only about a 24 hour flu, and passed quickly. Then, on the drive home, we got trapped in a horrible snow storm and had to drive so slow! During the drive, Tim got sick and we had to pull over for him for a little bit. Finally when the storm started to clear up, we got stuck behind a horrible accident. A semi had dropped a load of huge metal pipes into oncoming traffic down below. I don't remember exactly, but I think about 8 people died. I was just so glad we weren't in it since it couldn't have happened more than a couple minutes before we got there. Who knows, maybe if we didn't have to pull over for Tim, it could have been us in there. We were stuck on the road for about 2 1/2 hours waiting for them to re-open the road. Jane was going crazy stuck in the back seat and Tim was curled up in any position that might help his stomach feel better. When we finally got moving again, we stopped at the next town and checked into a motel for the night. Luckily, the next morning, Tim felt much better and we had a great drive the rest of the way home. Then, Monday morning, I woke up with the worst pain ever in my stomach and had to call in sick to work. The pain was made even worse by Kaleb kicking in my stomach (since I was pregnant at the time). I hope I never have to feel that again. But, like everybody else, it passed quickly. I didn't get many pictures of the trip, but I did get some good ones of the aquarium!

Fun with Mommy!

And Daddy too!

But mostly having fun playing with the cousins.
Jane loved looking at the fish!

At the end, we got to feed the sting rays. Tim really enjoyed it, me. . .not so much.

Jane's first time playing in the snow! She loved it . . .

. . . until her hands got cold, and then we couldn't get her inside fast enough! But she sure looked cute!

I didn't know Tim had taken these pictures of himself until I uploaded them onto the computer. I thought it was pretty funny, so I had to share, although he might not appreciate it.

Jane found a swim diaper and insisted that I put it on her over her pants. She loved it and wore it most of the day. I'm not sure what she's crying about here. I think she wanted to help Tim, but couldn't.

Santa came for a visit again on Christmas Eve. Jane was a little bit more wary about him this time than last year, but he sure is a nice Santa!

Of course, he brought the kids some great presents!

Jane liked Rachel's present better, but she warmed up to hers.

Christmas morning, Jane had so much fun opening all her presents. Christmas is so much fun with kids and I know it's only going to get better! I love watching her get excited about everything!

The spoils! As my grandpa would say, such a Christmas there never was.

Jane enjoying her presents. A nice to rocking chair, adorable clothes from Uncle Kevin, and nothing beats 2 new toothbrushes.

Brittney took this picture at my mom's house. I'm so lucky to have such a beautiful happy little girl. This was the end to a great year!

6 month weigh in

2009-07-20T17:49:00.000-07:00

Today was Kaleb's doctors appointment. He weighed in at a whopping 19 lbs 7 oz. This puts in in the 81% for weight, 52% for height, and 92% for head!!! What can I say, he has his fathers head. But I love all of it. I don't think he could get much cuter! I love every minute of this guy! (well, almost). He is such a good, happy baby and we are so happy to have him.

More silliness with Jane. She has her father's big mouth. I tried to put that block in my mouth and it barely fit.

Tim and Jane were having a fun craft night!! Even though Jane can give me a run for my money sometimes, she makes me laugh every day. She is already very caring of others and such a little sweet heart. I love her so much!!!

Kaleb is 6 months!!!

2009-07-16T15:50:00.000-07:00

My baby turned 6 months old today! How the time flys. I am so glad to have Kaleb in our family. He is such a happy little guy and his smile always brightens my day.

How could you not love that chubby little guy!
Kaleb got his first taste of green beans today. This is him before. He's excited to get food!

And then very dissapointed by what it was.

I'm so lucky to have such great kids and I'm so glad they love each other so much! What more could I ask for?

Zoo

2009-07-16T12:29:00.001-07:00

We recently bought passes to the zoo! I love the elephants! ( And Jane and Tim too!)

Jane's so hot! Watching the bird show!
I timed the picture bad. Jane gave a dolloar to the bird.

This is always Janes favorite. If we let her she would ride it all day. Forget the animals!

I always feel like when we go to the zoo, none of the animals are doing anything, but I got to see the bear swimming this time!

Jane loved these water fountains. Who wouldn't want to drink out of a lion's mouth?

Tim thought this was an appropriate photo op for Kaleb. People walking past thought it was funny too.

Kangaroo Zoo

2009-07-15T16:03:00.000-07:00

Last week Tim's mom took us to Kangaroo Zoo. Jane had so much fun playing with her cousins! She absolutely loves this place and could play there all day if I let her. I was amazed at how much she could do by herself. I can't believe how big my little girl is getting!

4th of July and Family Pictures

2009-07-15T15:41:00.000-07:00

First of all, while Kelltie was here, we got together with Kalli and Brittney. It was so fun to have the 4 of us together again, although, next time I vote we leave the kids behind. Jane is so dramatic! But, it was fun to have the 3 girls playing together. This was the best picture I got of them. They weren't that thrilled about taking pictures.

Everybody at my Mom and Dad's for fireworks! Jane is a bit of a scaredy cat and didn't like them. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get her to hold on the a sparkler.
Me and sleepy Kaleb. Suprisingly, he managed to fall asleep with all the noise!

I love this picture. My little girl is so pretty!

She was pulling this kind of a face throughout most of the fireworks.

My mom made the girls coordinating dresses, so we wanted to try and get pictures. It didn't work very well. It was hot and so hard to get the kids to all cooperate! I did manage to get some ok ones.

I love Janes face in this one!

I thought this was funny. Check out Rachel. She's going to attack that bubble!

Kaleb starting to sit by himself now! This photo shoot didn't last very long because spiders started to crawl all over him.

I love this picture not only because Jane looks super cute, but the boys are so funny! They were very hot, and ready to be done.

Kaleb and Dane. They were having a hard time sitting together. They kept falling over. Me and Kelltie were laughing pretty hard taking these.

Holding hands!

My babies!

Jane was helping my mom peel the eggs.
Me and Jane have been doing quite a bit of side walk chalk and one of her favorite things is playing hop scotch. She is so funny. She got distracted by the camera, but it's still cute.

Salem Lake

2009-07-08T15:14:00.001-07:00

While Tim was on one of his sales calls, he made an amazing discovery: Salem Lake. It's hardly big enough to be called a lake, but it is so awesome! It has ducks to feed, a little sandy area to swim at, play ground fishing water fountain/stream/puddles, lots of grassy area with lots of trees for shade! It's so pretty! So we decided to go with my parents and Kelltie and her kids while they were here. I think the kids favorite part of the whole day was feeding the ducks. This is Jane chasing the duck with her arms out, no bread saying "Here ducky, ducky, ducky!"

All the ducks were very friendly and followed us everywhere. Some of them were a little scary how close they would come up behind you. There were also some big geese that were really pushy and bit the other ducks that tried to take their food. They scared me and Kelltie, so we tried to stay away from them.

I think in this one the duck took the bread out of my hand and I jerked it back really fast.

Camryn and Jane had a lot of fun together! She is so cute!

Tim caught a duck and helped Jane hold it. After that she just wanted to hold it some more. I think this picture is funny because her sunglasses don't fit very well. I think they sit too low on her face because she doesn't have much of a nose.

I thought this video was so funny. Jane would throw her bread and watch to see if any ducks got it and when one ate it then she says "Yes!"

Even more than the ducks, the girls loved splashing in the puddles that they found. The both got soaking wet, but had a blast. It was hard to take them away from it.

We couldn't get Kaleb to look up. Look at the size of those legs!!!

Playing in the water. Not nearly as fun as feeding the ducks, but still fun.

I was able to snatch this picture before my dad knew what was happening. I sure love these guys!

My little man just chillin' with his toys!
I'm sure glad we got to go! It was a lot of fun! Thanks for coming Kelltie!

Farm Country

2009-06-24T09:38:00.001-07:00

My sister Kelltie came into town this week. It's so fun to have them here! This is her little boy Dane with Kaleb at the park. They are 2 weeks apart.

We took the kids to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point and they all had a blast! Kelltie's little girl Camryn feeding the goats. She's so cute!
Jane also had a lot of fun feeding the goats.

All the kids had fun playing in the Dance Hall.

Jane in jail with Owen and Bentley.

The highlight of the day was riding the ponies. Jane had to go twice and even after that she cried when she couldn't go again.

I was a little nervous to let her ride by herself, but she did great!

Feeding the baby cow!

This cow was funny, she tried to lick everything that was close to her including mine and Matt's shirts. We also looked down to see that it was trying to eat Camryn's hair. It looked kind of funny after that, but it was so funny!

I just took this this morning, Jane snuggling with Tigger and Pooh watching TV.

After I brought the kids inside after Farm Country, Jane had Kaleb laughing so hard, so I had to get a video of it. He laughs so good for her but doesn't ever want to laugh for me. It's not fair. I no this video is dark and you can't see much, but I think it's fun to hear him.

Cousins!

2009-06-19T07:23:00.001-07:00

Tim's sister Shelly came for a visit with her kids. Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend as much time with them as we would have liked because Kaleb and I were both sick, but we still managed to do some fun things! One day we went up to the copper mine. I don't think Jane cared that we were there, she was just having fun being around all the other kids.

That is one big hole!Jane had so much fun playing with Abby. I think she's going to miss her. I thought they were so cute together!
I told Jane to give her a kiss. Abby was more than willing, but Jane wasn't thrilled with the idea.
Don't worry, Jane is at least wearing underwear. I just thought this was cute because her blanket is her special thing and she put it over Kaleb and then crawled under to watch TV with him. She's such a good big sister.

Anniversary

2009-05-21T18:25:00.000-07:00

Today is mine and Tim's 4th anniversary. It's so crazy to me. It feels like we've been married forever. I couldn't ask for a better husband and best friend. I'm so thankful to be married to him. He takes care of me and the kids so well. I love every minute I get to spend with him. He got me this ring for our anniversary. It's hard to get a good picture with my camera, but it's beautiful. It's my birthstone with 2 little diamonds on the sides.

Another reason why I'm so glad I married Tim is my 2 amazing kids. They bring so much joy into our home. I know me and Tim wouldn't be nearly as happy without them. Jane adores her little brother and always wants to hold him (even though he seems to be almost as big as her) and help feed and dress him. She is such a good big sister and I'm so excited to watch them grow and play together. Kaleb lights up with a big smile whenever Jane comes close. I hope they stay as good of friends as they are now!

Kaleb's single photo shoot. Despite being sick as often as he is (it seems like he can't be healthy for more than a couple days at a time) he is always so happy. Even his doctor commented how how social and smiley he is. How can you not love those cute round cheeks! I love putting him in tank tops because then I get to see his cute chubby arms!
Kaleb got his first taste of cereal yesterday. He still doesn't quite get the idea of swallowing it, but with how much he likes to eat, I'm sure he'll catch on soon.

My cute little boy sleeping in his swing

One morning I walked past Kaleb on the floor and found that Jane had put Tim's watch on him. I thought it was funny.

I recently got Kaleb a Bumbo chair. I think he looks pretty cute in it. I caught him mid-sneeze in this picture. He had another cold.

That head is too big and heavy!

Jane wearing my boots. She likes to wear all my shoes.
I took Jane over to my sister Brittney's house to play on their new swing set. Jane was not a fan of the see-saw.
She always loves slides...
...and swings.

Kaleb peeking out from his car seat. He was supposed to be sleeping.

A couple of weeks ago, Jane got really sick. She was puking up almost everything she drank to the point where she refused to drink anything anymore. We ended up taking her to the hospital where they gave us miracle anti-nausea pills so that she could keep liquids down. After that she started to come around. She has never been that sick before and I'm so glad she is better now. This video was taken when she was sick. Tim found a snake in the yard and brought it in to show her. She really liked it, but doesn't know how to be very soft. She kept pulling on it too hard and I think she really scared it. Right after I stopped filming it bit Tim. This was really funny too because just 2 minutes earlier I asked Tim if it would bite Jane (I'm kind of scared of snakes) and he said that these snakes didn't bite. I guess he was wrong! After it bit him he threw it back in the yard to let Sammie have her way with it. Jane was very upset and wanted the snake back.

Hair cut

2009-04-21T10:26:00.000-07:00

Today I went and got Jane's hair cut. It was starting to look long and straggly and I wanted to even it out a little bit more since the front was so much shorter than the back. Sadly, I'm not happy with her hair cut. It's lucky hair grows. The lady cut it shorter than what I wanted. Oh well. Hopefully I'll be able to find something to do with it. She really liked getting it cut. She was watching herself in the mirror the whole time.

Funniest Kid Ever!

2009-04-20T09:13:00.000-07:00

If you want to see the funniest/cutest thing ever, check out my sister-in-law's blog of her little girl dancing. I still laugh my head off everytime I see it.

Easter and other fun!

2009-04-20T08:24:00.001-07:00

Easter was lots of fun this year. Jane had fun dyeing easter eggs! Mostly she just made sure that they were all staning up straight in the drying rack.

She also had lots of fun finding Easter Eggs at Grandma and Grandpa Wolfley's house. She needed lots of help to find them.

Jane likes to watch Tim play the Wii and everynow and then, she pretends to play with him.

We went and saw Monsters vs. Aliens in the Imax 3D. Jane liked it, but some of the really loud parts scared her. I sure think she looks cute in her 3D glasses!

She doesn't wear this tutu very often, but I think she's so cute when I can manage to get it on her!

Jane seems to think that my slippers are a good bed for her baby.

We gave Jane some icecream and brownies at Tim's parents house and let her go at it. She made a big mess of herself, but enjoyed every minute of it.

Jane was having so much fun jumping off the car and having Tim catch her. I think she would have done it the rest of the night if Tim's arms could have handled it.

I realize Kaleb isn't in many of these pictures. He's had a rough month. After I went back to work, he started to get really angry everytime he ate. So we called the doctors office to see what they thought and the nurse suggested we change his formula and we could also give him a little Malox and if that didn't work to give her a call. So I tried the Malox first and it helped...at first and then he would still get mad. So then I switched his formula and it helped...at first but he still wasn't feeling totally better. He kept squirming and seeming very uncomfortable. I thought maybe he just needed to be on the new formula for a little while because I know when you switch it can make them a little upset. Well, 2 weeks came and went and I finally called the doctor back. We took him in and he said it sounded like relux, so he gave us some pills and said they should kick in in about 4 days. Thanks goodness! I was so happy to finally have my sweet little baby feeling better. After the four days, Kaleb didn't have reflux problems anymore, but he got a horrible cold. I'm not sure, but I think it was croup. Poor little guy just barely gets over one problem just to get another. He was just miserable, coughing and choking on all the stuff running down his throat. Last Thursday we asked my dad to come up and help Tim give him a blessing. This is a picture of that night. Right before I took it he was snuggling up to my dad really cute, and then by the time I got my camera out, he was mad again. That night Kaleb slept a lot better and started turning around the next day. He's still a little sick, but getting so much better. I'm so thankfull to have the preisthood in my home so that Tim can bless me and our kids. I'm sure that's what helped Kaleb start getting better so fast and I'm so thankful for a loving husband who lives worthily. I'm also so thankful for parents close by that are always willing to help out. Thanks everyone!

I love my kids!

2009-03-21T15:24:00.000-07:00

I can't believe Kaleb is 2 months old already! He is getting so big and chubby. He's already over 13 lbs. The only problem with that is he's so short. He's 78% for weight but only 30% for height. So his cloths are starting to get a little snug, but they are still too long in the limbs, so if I move him up to the next size clothes, they will be really really long. But that's OK. I like chubby babies. He is such a good baby and already puts himself to sleep most of the time. The only problem is sometimes he doesn't always want to stay asleep. He is really happy and smiles at anybody who looks at him. I was really glad today he woke up really happy and I got some good smiling pictures. Here are a few that I thought were cute.

This picture doesn't even do any justice to how chubby he really is. He even has rolls on his knees and shoulders too!

I thought this was cute. The picture woke Tim up and he wasn't very happy I took it.

Jane is also doing really well. Last weekend we potty trained her. It was a very frustrating experience for me. Jane is a very strong willed girl and if she can't do it her way she won't do it at all. She does really well at knowing when she needs to go potty and she can even hold it really well, but her accidents come from being stubborn and not wanting to sit on the toilet because we asked her too. I'm hoping she loosens up a little. One day was really funny. She was sitting on the toilet and just fighting us trying to get off saying that she didn't need to go, even though we knew she did. Then I reminded her that she gets candy when she goes potty. Her face lit up and she looked at Tim and said, "Ready?" so we said yes and then she went. We laughed pretty hard. On this day she went and got her doll's bib and came to show me that she put it on. I thought it was pretty, so I had to take a picture.

Jane loves her little brother so much! I had left them in the room together and when I came back she was on the floor with him giving him hugs and kisses and talking really nicely to him. When I came back with the camera she got a little distracted, but I think it's still cute.

2009-03-11T14:13:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we got pictures taken. I think I have the cutest kids in the world!!!

Jane's 2nd Birthday!

2009-03-02T07:10:00.001-08:00

The morning of her birthday. Right after this she fell off her chair. She wasn't so happy after that.

When I first lit Jane's candle, she blew it out right away, so I had to relight it so we could sing. However, she seemed a little disturbed that we sang to her and didn't want to blow out her candle after that. This is everyone trying to get her to blow.

Dazed.

Her cousins were more than willing to help her open her presents.

Jane had lots of fun opening all her presents. I made her that tutu she's wearing. I think she looks pretty cute in it.

Kara holding Kaleb.

Her new helmet was squishing her cheeks a little at first.

After everybody left we took her out to try her bike. She's not very good at using the pedals yet, but she really likes it.

Jane rode her bike all the way down to the park and went on this slide the entire time. She loved it.

Tim says he's a future boxer.

Jane was playing Play-Doh with Tim and making fake noses. She thought it was pretty great.

Kaleb's Blessing

2009-02-23T12:22:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we blessed Kaleb. It was so nice to have our family there. Tim's brother Kevin happened to be down from Vancouver so it was really nice to have him there.

My cute little family!

Kaleb and Grandma and Grandpa Wolfley.

Grandma and Grandpa Romeril.

Uncle Kevin and Stephen.

Aunt Brittney, Uncle Matt and Rachel.

Kevin and Stephen were a big hit with the kids. They brought Kinder Suprises and the kids had lots of fun playing with the toys.

I've been trying to get a good picture of Kaleb with his eyes open. Every time I click he pulls a funny face.

I think this one is really funny!

Jane absolutely loves Kaleb and she is always trying to give him hugs and kisses and hold him. He looks so big on her lap!

Sweet kisses. . .

. . .and hugs!

Tim was holding Kaleb for me and Jane decided to get comfortable. She's using Kaleb as a pillow.

Great Husband and Other Recent Stuff

2009-02-12T14:29:00.000-08:00

I have the best Husband in the world! Yesterday he was feeling particularly thankful for our marriage so he brought me home some flowers! He also got the little flower for Jane and the sock monkey for Kaleb. He couldn't have picked a better day to do it either because yesterday was a really hard day for me so it really cheered me up to see him walk through the door with flowers! Thanks Tim! I love you so much!As you can see, Jane really likes her flower. The ribbon in her hair was tied around her flower, but she really wanted it in her hair today. She was so excited when I put it in that she had to look at it in every mirror in the house.

Tim with his adorable two kids! Wow, that's crazy! Two kids!!!

Jane being silly.

I thought this was so cute when I saw her walking out. She very carefully put her tea set together and was walking out very slowly so they didn't fall off. I can't believe how big she is getting!

Tim's brother Kevin sent this cozy little bear suit for Kaleb and I think it's so cute! Jane likes it too and whenever he wears it she points at him and says, "Kaleb bear."

He's so sweet! Since we've come home from the hospital he's been a really good baby. He's getting chubbier all the time and he's doing great! In the hospital he stopped breathing twice and went all blue. It really scared me and Tim, but hasn't happened since, thank goodness! Jane absolutely adores him. I have a hard time keeping her away from him. She just wants to hug and kiss him all the time. She is such a good big sister!

This is my sister Kelltie's new little boy Dane and Kaleb's new best friend, even though they haven't met yet. She had him on Feb 4. I'm so excited that she has a little boy so close to Kaleb. It will be so have to have our little girls and our little boys so close in age! Now we just need to be able to get together! I love her so much and I'm so glad everything went well with her labor. Congratulations Kelltie! He's such a cutie!

Kaleb Ross Wolfley

2009-01-22T15:23:00.000-08:00

He finally came! Here's the story. Last Thursday I was just sitting on the couch waiting for Tim to get home from class when I started to feel warm liquid seeping into my pants. I franticly threw Mavrick off me and ran to the bathroom, realizing my water just broke. I tried to call Tim and when he didn't answer I started to panick and called my Mom who was in Minneapolis visiting my sister Kelltie. I started to cry because I wasn't ready to have him. I was still planning on another week. I finally got a hold of Tim and he got home shortly after that. I wasn't having any contractions yet so my midwife said I didn't have to go to the hospital right away if I didn't want to. I still hadn't eaten dinner yet so I grabbed something really quick, we packed Jane a bag for the night, woke her up and took her down to Tim's mom's house before we went to the hospital. The not so fun part about all this is when my water broke, it didn't all come out at once so when we got to Tim's parents house and I got out of the car, more water came out everywhere. Luckily I had my bag I was taking to the hospital to put on some dry pants. At Tim's parents house, Tim gave me a blessing, which really helped to calm my nerves. I'm so glad I have a husband who can do that for me. We then rushed down to the hospital since my contractions were starting. When I got out of the car again more water came out. I was so embarrased it might look like I peed my pants. When they got me all hooked up to the monitors, it said my contractions were 1-2 minutes apart, so I started thinking that this was going to go by really fast. I was wrong. I started doing my hypnobirthing and waited. Meanwhile, anytime I moved or Kaleb kicked, more water came out. I was just leaking constantly all night. Finally around 2 in the morning, my contractions started to get more intense and also moved around to my back. This started bringing back memories of when I was in labor with Jane and how much it hurt and I started to get nervous again. I was still only dialated to a 6, so I had a little ways to go, so I decided to get an epidural. I have to say, that is probably the weirdest feeling I have ever experienced. After that kicked in Tim and I were able to take a little nap. When I woke up, I could no longer move my legs. I think the nurses thought I was a little crazy because I kept laughing and saying how weird it all was. Finally around 7:30, they checked me and said I was complete and by 7:45 Friday morning, January 16, with just a couple pushes, Kaleb was born. He was 9 lbs and 19 inches long. He looked so cute because his limbs and everything were all short but he was so chubby! Even his shoulders had rolls! I loved it! I was feeling so good too. I couldn't believe how different it was getting an epidural. I'm still really glad that I went natural with Jane. I was really glad to have that experience. But with Kaleb everything was so much easier! I'm so happy to finally have Kaleb in our home. He is loved by so many. Jane thinks he is great. This morning when I went to take a shower I moved him from his swing and went to take him by the bathroom so I could hear him if he cried and Jane was so upset that I was taking him away! She really loves her new brother. So far she hasn't had too many fits that she isn't getting enough attention, but I've been lucky enough to have Tim home with me all week so we'll see how things go when he goes back to work.

Right after he was born. Still a little gunky.

After they got him cleaned up.

Being silly already.

The poor little guy has no neck.

Jane's first time meeting her new brother.

She likes to give him hugs.

Honking his nose.

Tim was messing with him and gave him a new nose.

Kaleb and his daddy!

Getting ready to go home.

Sleeping at home. He's so sweet!

Today we had lots of fun! We took Jane down to Thanksgiving point where they had some activities going on for Halloween!

She got her face painted! I was surprised at how well she held still.

My cute little kitty cat!

She loved petting the animals.

We also went on a wagon ride.

"Dad! This is so cool!"

Petting the mini donkey.

The clown made her some beautiful wings.

She loved feeding the horses. She liked them so much she even gave them kisses!

Feeding the goats. They had some teeny tiny little ones! They were so cute!
That white goat is one of the really little ones. He had to fight the sheep to get some food.
This was just from earlier this week. She likes to watch the Wiggles while I'm in the shower and this particular morning she asked to be up on the couch. I though it was cute.
This was from my work party at Lagoon. Jane got sick of walking and we got sick of carrying her, so we got all the ice out of the cooler and put her in! She thought it was pretty cool. We got a lot of laughs from everybody we walked past.

End of Summer

2008-10-03T20:36:00.000-07:00

Well, I know it has been forever since I have updated my blog, as several of you have let me know, so here are a few pics to keep you happy.

This was at Tim's family reunion. We went camping up near Heber. Jane wasn't quite sure of what to think about all the kids at first (there are a lot of them) but she ended up having a lot of fun.

She absolutely LOVED playing in the sandbox. I thought this picture was so funny because her belly looks huge, she has a runny nose, and her hat and glasses just add to the look.

She loved getting right down in there.

Tim also enjoyed playing in the sandbox.

One day Jane found the dog treats in the bottom of the pantry and had lots of fun handing them out the the dogs. She loves playing with them.

We went to the zoo this summer and Jane had lots of fun. She especially like the carousel.

She was fascinated with these little birds that were jumping along the window. She kept chasing them back and forth.

In this picture she looks kind of scared of the snake, but she wasn't. She even touched it, which is something I won't do.

One morning when we had to wake Jane up before I went to work, it was kind of chilly in the house. So, Tim bundled her up and put on the Wiggles for her and she was very pleased with it...

...she had to carry it around with her the rest of the morning.

She really likes these duck slippers. I was trying to take the picture before she got too close to me.

And this is my precious little pianist. She pulled out the bench, opened the lid and climbed up there all by herself.

I know her hair looks frumpy in this picture, but i think she looks so sweet!!!

Echo Lake

2008-07-14T13:53:00.000-07:00

So, I know I've been horrible at posting, but I have a lot of pictures now so get ready! This month I got to go up to Echo Lake in Montana with my family. It was really fun to see all of the little cousins play together! Jane LOVED the water and if we were down there she wanted to be in it the whole time! The first day we were there we took the kids down just to throw rocks in the water and Jane walked right in. She loved to splash in the water.

When I was done holding on to her in the water I took her back up to the cabin to rinse all the mud off her legs. She cried the whole way up because she was so sad I took her out of the water. I took her shorts off to rinse off her legs in the sink and as soon as she saw the water running she stopped crying and scooted her bum all the way into the sink so she could splash in the running water.

Later that day it looked like she was trying to put her bib on backwards, so I helped her out and she started running all around the house like she was wearing a cape. I thought it was really cute.

That night we tried having Jane and my niece Rachel sleep in the same room and it was not working out. I thought I finally got her down and right when I crawled into bed at 11:30, she woke up. I would ordinarily just let her talk herself back to sleep, but I didn't want her to wake up Rachel, and all of the other rooms had other kids in them, so we got to have a midnight party and wait for Kelltie, Paul and Camryn to get there. Both of the kids were so tired, but Jane was very excited to see Camryn even though it doesn't look like it here.

The next day we finally got her all in her swimming suit to go swimming. I thought she looked so cute!

She had absolutely no fear down at the water. She would walk right off the dock without even pausing. I accidently almost fell in the water with her one time. I'm sure glad I didn't!

Jane had a lot of fun playing with all the older kids. Here she was learning how to brush the dolls hair. It's kind of hard to hear, but she is saying "brush brush".

I just thought this looked really cute.

The whole week if anybody was eating anything, Jane and Camryn were right there begging off them. This particular time was really cute. Jane pulled funny faces each time she got a grape.

I loved this picture because you can see how huge Jane's mouth is and how tiny Camryn's is.

This is the cute little turtle that my brother Matt caught. He was so cute!

Sharing treats with Rachel.

Fun in the kiddie pool.

Loving cousins.

My Grandma and Grandpa.

Jane and my brother Jeff.

Playing Pretty Pretty Princess with Jeff's family. She won!

Jane and Grandpa!

All the cousins except baby Charlie. There's Bentley, Chelsa, Chloe, Owen, Rachel, Jane, Logan and Camryn. Jane didn't want to stay in the picture so I asked Logan to put his arm around her and try to hold her there. He did a good job. It looks pretty funny.

The three little girls, Jane, Camryn and Chelsa. Jane did not want to be in pictures.
All my siblings. Brittney, Me, Jeff, Kelltie and Matt.

Jane loved doing this!

More to come soon from the Wolfley family reunion!

Amazing Shopping!

2008-05-09T17:51:00.000-07:00

I have to brag about my amazing shopping day today. I've recently gotten into couponing...I don't know if that's what you actually call it, but that's what I'm calling it. Anyway, they had a lot of really good deals this week at Walgreens and with all my coupons, I got all of this stuff today for $15.38. I think that's AMAZING!!!!!!!!Total, it should have cost $209. WOW!!! So Tim figured that I only paid 7%. You all probably don't care, but this is the inventory of what I got: 10 4.2 oz crest toothpaste, 17 olay and old spice body washes, 5 cascade dishwasher detergent, 6 olay shower lotions, 4 febreeze, 1 febreeze air effect freshener, 1 febreeze noticables plug in, and 3 fresh wipes. And since I bought all this it gave me more coupons so tomorrow I'm going to go back and get 3 more old spice body washes for FREE. That's right, I rock.

Another funny story while I'm on here, the other day we were going to my parents house for dinner and we had a bunch of stuff we were taking, so I carried out presents for my dad (it was his birthday) and Jane's gear, and Tim carried out Jane and the salad we were brining. So we got in the car and started driving down the freeway when we saw the guy next to us honking at us and pointing up. We didn't know what he was trying to tell us so we pulled over and Tim got out to make sure all the tires looked good and see if he could see anything wrong with the car. When he got back in, he was holding the salad! It was on the roof of the car!! I can't believe it didn't go flying off! We couldn't stop laughing about it all night and even still it puts a smile on my face!

New Pictures!

2008-04-03T11:24:00.000-07:00

I finally went and got Jane's 1 year old pictures taken and I have to say, I think I have the most beautiful girl in the whole world! We had so much fun!

I love her smile in this one! Look at all those teeth!
This is her beauty shot.
Befor we got started taking the pictures we bought her a new toy in case we were going to need something to keep her from crying. We found this little dragon/donkey baby from Shrek and she loves it! It's one of her new favorites.
She sure loves her daddy!
She didn't like how bright the flash was so she kept squinting. She made the funniest faces! She had the photographer laughing so hard!

This is her blue steel pose.

Rascal Flatts!!!!

2008-03-10T13:17:00.001-07:00

I got to celebrate my birthday a little early this month. Tim got me tickets to Rascal Flatts! It was so much fun!

This is us waiting for the concert to start. I know I look freaky.

Kellie Pickler was there opening act. She put on a really good show. I know it looks like we were a little bit far away, but we actually had really good seats. They were on the tenth row, but all the people on the floor were in front of us.

She was really cute and funny.

Then Rascal Flatts came out!

It was so cool. At the end of the song they had fireworks and stuff.

They did a good part of the concert on this circle stage that was really close to us. The were closer than it looks like. It was really cool cause we could see their facial expressions and everything. They were really funny guys.

I know it's a blurry picture, but a lot of them are. This was the funnest concert I've ever been to. Tim didn't want to go with me, but after he had to admit that it was a really good concert.

After the concert we had reservations at a hotel downtown. Tim's mom watched Jane for the night for us. It was so nice to have a night away. When we got to the hotel they told us that they upgraded our room to a 2 bedroom suit. So we had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room area, a kitchen and a washer and dryer. It was funny because there was no way that we would use all of that, but it was cool. Tim liked having 2 bathrooms. I'm so glad that Tim planned all of this for my birthday! It was awesome! Thanks Tim!

Jane's First Birthday and Other Fun Stuff

2008-03-10T11:51:00.000-07:00

Get ready for a HUGE post! On March 1 was Jane's first birthday!

Tim thinks the cake was really ugly. I just think it was funny. The decorating was a joint effort between the 2 of us. Unfortunately by the time for the party came around Jane was pretty tired and cranky. But that didn't stop her from opening presents!
She didn't so much care what they were. As soon as she was finished opening one she got mad until I gave her another one to open. Her favorite present of the night was from her Grandma Wolfley. She loves to walk around with this thing.
It looks like she doesn't quite know what to think of Grandpa Romeril, but she really was having a good time with him.
I can't believe that she's so old. I look at her and wonder when she got so big. She is getting to be more and more fun all the time. She's starting to imitate when I say certain words now like Daddy, doggy, what, diaper, stinky, and her personal favorite, "Ah". She also howls and just yesterday Tim was tickling her and she started saying "tic tic" and wiggling her fingers. She is also very good at giving kisses and loves giving them to everybody! She makes me laugh so hard. Here are some other fun pictures of her.

I love taking sleeping pictures. Her little bum is so cute!

My little girl is a candy fanatic. Whenever she see us eating any she tries to get some. This is Tim giving her some of is sour gummy worm. You might need to turn down the volume. I seem to be very loud.

I think this is so funny! She looks like she's up to no good.

I have to show off more pictures of my cute little puppy Mavrick.

Doesn't he just look so snuggly!

This picture shows his yoda ears.

Growing Up Fast!

2008-01-28T14:49:00.000-08:00

Jane is doing so many cute things everyday I can hardly keep up. She is constantly learning new things and once she catches on to something she gets it really fast. She's moving all over her crib now and I keep finding her in different positions. I think this is my favorite so far.

One morning I was in the bathroom getting ready and I realized that I couldn't hear the TV anymore. I thought maybe Jane had gotten a hold of the remote or something so I came in to check on her and this is what I found...

She had pulled herself up and turned the volume all the way down. Maybe she didn't like that show. I don't blame her. It looked dumb. What she does like is looking out the window.

Just yesterday she started walking a little bit! I was so excited! I don't think it will be long now before she's walking all over the place and I can't keep up with her, but it's just too cute!

2008-01-25T11:37:00.000-08:00

I think this is a record for me! I've never had two posts so close together! I wanted to put on these pictures I took of Jane. Her hair is getting longer and she loves it when I play with it, so I thought it would be funny to put little ponytails all over her head. She looked so silly!

Jane is getting lots better about atually crawling around on her knees.

I'm very excited because she is also pulling herself up on the funiture now and walking very very small distances! My little girl is so cute!

Mavrick also keeps getting bigger and bigger. He likes to sleep in funny positions.

Him and Sammie are getting to be better friends too!

Christmas and Stuff

2008-01-21T17:08:00.000-08:00

I know, I know, I'm really behind. We had a lot of fun over the Christmas Holiday! It was really fun to be able to see everybody.

My best friend from highschool, Kalli, and her husband Nate and daughter Mackay came over to our house. It was really fun to be able to visit because we don't get to see eachother very much! Jane and Mackay had fun playing together, however we found out that Jane isn't very good and sharing with kids younger than her. She took everything from Mackay.

I have lots of fun checking on Jane when she is sleeping now. I find her in all sorts of funny positions. This is one of the first. They have gotten better. The other day she had her bum in the air.

Christmas Eve was a lot of fun. We had all of my family over to my house for fondue. While we were getting it ready, Santa came by for a visit! He brought all the little kids presents. My sister's little girl Rachel liked him and gave him a hug before he left, but my brother's little boy Bently was not impressed. He wouldn't look at Santa and he had the biggest scowl on his face the whole time! It was so funny. Jane seemed to like him quite I bit. I think she thought he looked familiar. Maybe like her Grandpa Wolfley....

Christmas morning with Jane was lots of fun. We thought she would be really interested in the wrapping paper, but we could hardly get her to touch it. So, we had to unwrap all her presents. She was very excited each time a new toy came out! But then when we took it away from her to unwrap a new toy, she was sad and started to cry until she saw the new toy, and then she was happy again. As you can see from this picture, she was very pleased with her Christmas.

She has lots of fun playing with her cousin Camryn. She's older 4 months older but she looks huge next to her!

Jane got to meet her uncle Kevin for the first time. We were really glad he was able to come out and see her! (And us of course.)

We thought we should take a picture of the 3 little girls. Aren't they cute?

And here's us 3 girls with our little girls.

Kevin gave Jane a gift certificate to Build-a-Bear, so we took her and let her pick everything out. She wasn't heavy enough to push the foot pedal all by herself, so Tim had to help her.

Bath time after it's all stuffed up!

Th finished product! I think she did a pretty good job. She was especially adiment about the dress.

She likes watching her Dad play the Wii.

This is my new puppy Mavrick. He's a pomeranian/corgi mix. I know, I'm crazy getting a new dog so soon. But Sammie needed a friend and he helped distract me so I wasn't so sad about Maggie. Besides, how can you resist a face like that!

Jane really likes candy. I had this sucker in my mouth and she decided she wanted it. She just wasn't as good at getting it back into my mouth. We were both pretty sticky afterward.

Maggie

2008-01-02T08:40:00.001-08:00

This morning my dog Maggie got hit by a car and died. I'm really going to miss her. She was a great little dog. These pictures are in memory of her.

This is Sammie, my other little dog. She ran after Maggie got hit and we spent 2 hours looking for her. I thought I had lost her too, but luckily Tim's nephews found her and she is safe home with us.

2007-12-14T13:39:00.000-08:00

Here are some more pictures. I know Kelltie has been waiting for me to update this so here is some more recent stuff.

I just thought this was funny. She got a Kix stuck on her nose and didn't notice. I think her funny face and fuzzy hair are great too.

In the morning when Tim gets up the dogs like to come and snuggle with me. Some how Sammie got the pillows all around her. She must have been really comfy because she stayed there for a couple hours after I got up.

This is when Jane first started scooting around. I think it's so cute! This is still how she gets around, she's just a little faster now.

As you can see, Jane and Maggie are really good friends.

She loves to get into her toy basket.

This was the box her new carseat came in. She looks so little!

She loves her new toy!

Sharing with Maggie.

Just a video of Jane playing with her new toy.

Halloween

2007-12-10T14:24:00.000-08:00

I know it's been a really long time since I posted anything. That's why it's December and I'm putting on Halloween Pictures! So here's my cute little fairy!

She loves to show off!

This is a video of snakes that I found in our makeshift cellar. It scared me so bad I ran back up to the house to get Tim and he didn't believe me. Like I could be mistaken about something like that! So of course Tim came to see and I was right. He was holding them to see what our dogs thought about them and all of a sudden Maggie snatched one right out of his hand and took off with it! He was still holding the other one when he walked over to see how much she had mangled it up. It was in pieces and she had slime coming from her mouth. While he was looking at it, she snatched the other one and took off again! It was pretty funny.

Tag! I'm it...

2007-10-29T14:43:00.000-07:00

Well, I guess it's my turn! Now I get to play a blog game! I hope I can come up with some things that people didn't know about me! Here are the rules: Each player lists 6 habits/facts about themselves. Once you finish posting, you have to tag 6 other people and list them at the end of the post. (the only problem is I don't know 6 other people that have blogs on here!)

1. Habits: Like Kelltie, I have a specific order of things I have to follow in the shower. I wash my hair, let the shampoo sit while I wash myself and shave, then I rinse. Then I condition and while that sits I wash my face a rinse. Umm...I don't think I can think of anything else....

2. Hobbies: Reading, playing the piano, taking care of Jane, and looking at teeth! I know I'm weird. And of course I love spending time with Tim and Jane and my dogs Sammie and Maggie. Maggie especially is my snuggle buddy

3. Favorite Things: My family! My extended family, getting anything new, sleeping, candy, holidays, snugling with my dogs, movies.

4. Favorite Place: Again, like Kelltie, my favorite place is also my uncles cabin in Montana. It's just so beautiful and you don't have to worry about anything. The weather is perfect except when you are trying to sleep and there is no air conditioning. I love getting fresh cherries there and just all the memories the place brings back, even the ones of Jeff having a horrible allergic reaction, Aunt Jo shattering her knee, and me breaking my nose...

5. Websites I Frequently Visit: http://www.blogger.com/ http://www.facebook.com/ http://www.myfamily.com/ That's about it, I don't spend a ton of time online. Sometimes I go to http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/ to see if I can find out anything new about her books.

6. My Guilty Pleasures:TV shows I Love-The Office, Next Top Model, House, CSI. Also, of course Sweets!!! Tim always says that if a little kid would like it, then I would like it. And of course, snuggling with my dogs. They are usually the only ones that want to snuggle.

People I'm tagging: Kallie and Michelle

Visit to Minneapolis

2007-10-20T10:23:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago, me and Tim and Jane went out to visit my sister Kelltie and her family! It was lots of fun. It was Jane's first airplane ride! So of course her Dad had to get her a little souvenir. It even makes the sound of an airplane taking off and landing. She really liked it at first, but now the sounds scare her and she gives me the cutest little pout and holds her arms out to me. She still likes to play with it though. She did really good on the plane on the way out. She took a little nap and then had to show off for everybody else on the plane. She was very excited to be in a new place to check out everything and to see so many people. She had lots of fun. The next day we got the girls ready to go shopping at the HUGE mall of America. Jane looks so huge next to tiny Camryn.

I think Jane likes her.

The next day we went downtown and at lunch, Jane wanted to try Tim's food, and he was more than happy to oblige.
First she got some lime...

and she liked it.

Then she tried some lemon...

she didn't like that as much.

She had fun walking around the city with her dad.

That night we decided to give the girls a bath together. It started out really well. Jane even tried to share her toys with Camryn. She would suck and it and then put it up to Camryn's mouth.

But then Jane slipped and got scared...

andthen she cried...

and that scared Camryn, so she cried...

and then they both cried. It was really cute. They did that kind of thing the whole week, if one would start crying, then then other would cry. I think they really care about each other. We had lots of fun out there. It was great to be able to spend time with each other. We area excited for Paul and Kelltie and baby Camryn to come out at Christmas so we can see them again!!!!

First Post

2007-10-13T11:13:00.000-07:00

Well, I guess I get to do one of these too. Kelltie is sitting next to me right now, I think she is pretty excited about this, so here we go!!!!
