Christmas 2010

What a great Christmas we shared with our family! We hope everyone was able to enjoy this special holiday with their loved ones too.

The Wulf girls' winter shenanigans...

 

We prepared for Christmas with lots of fun activities. We went to hockey games (Megs was Honorary Captain at one game, and even got to drop the puck); we went up to Wapato Point one day to hang out with our cousins Caden and Alex (we made gingerbread houses, went sledding, and went ice-skating); and we spent a night over in downtown Seattle (for the Harry Potter exhibit at the Pacific Science Center and mayble a little bit of shopping too). Wherever we go, whatever we do... we always seem to have fun!

One Crazy Thanksgiving

 

8 adults, 7 kids (4 families) together for one meal?! Crazy is the right word! We had a great afternoon playing Wii's Just Dance 2 (you should see our Auntie Krissy move!!), Jenga Max, and eating lots of good food. It's easy to have fun with this group we call our family... probably 'cause we actually like these people (well, most of 'em anyway!) =)

Fall 2010

 

 

We decided to update our blog today with some pictures from the fall. Both Kailie and Maeghan played soccer. Kailie had a phenomenal season; in one game she not only scored her first goal, she also got handed her first yellow card. It was great!
Both girls are spending some time in the gym too. Maeghan is on the Apple Valley Gymnastics Competitive Team for the second year. She will compete as a Level 5 this season, and she has been working really hard learning her routines. (Already she spends 10 1/2 hours per week practicing... whew!)
We got to spend some time up at Wapato Point in October. Somebody let the girls skip a day of school so they could hang out with their Nanny and Poppa! The girls enjoyed condo living by working on a puzzle, playing on the iPad, swimming, playing on the playground, and chasing the squirrels. The best part was when cousins Caden and Alex showed up to visit!
For Halloween this year, the girls simply switched costumes from last year. (They made it easy on their mom, that's for sure!) We went up to our friends', the Hobson's, for our traditional Halloween party. There were about 200 people in and out of that house, so needless to say, the girls had a great time trick or treating with lots of their friends.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Ski Hill Hike

So mom and Miss Cory took us kids on a hike up to Ski Hill in Leavenworth. It took forever! At one point I was pretty sure we were lost; mom had us hiking down steep hills on deer trails! Finally, she gave in and said we could come back the way we started. My mom sure can be stubborn, though. What could have been a leisurely one hour hike turned into a three hour adventure! At least we got to have a late lunch at McDonald's afterwords =)

Back to School

 

We started school today!  I get to be in Ms. Griggs' 5th grade class, and Maeghan has Mrs. Thomas, my teacher from last year.  It was really fun to see our friends again too!  Here is a picture of me with my teacher; Maeghan with her friend, Carson; me with my friends, Ashley & Lily; and Maeghan with Lauren, who is in her class and on her soccer team too!  We were really excited to see everyone =)

Summer Fun 2010

 

Apparently we had a tough time keeping up with the blog this summer! These pictures capture some of the things we did to stay busy: 4th of July with our Adams' Family cousins, Slidewaters in Chelan with Peyton and Paddy, hanging out at the Allen's house, getting ready for a rafting trip down the Wenatchee River, pool fun, etc. It's always something with us Wulf's =)

Silverwood in August

 

We just spent a few days over in Idaho... a girls' trip to Silverwood! Our cousin, Peyton, went with us, and we had a lot of fun. My favorite roller coaster was The Corkscrew, Kailie's and Mom's was Aftershock, and Peyton's was Timber Terror. We all got soaking wet in Thunder Canyon... water even got in my mouth because I was laughing so hard!

Monroe's Reptile Zoo

 

On one of our trips across the mountains, we finally stopped at the Reptile Zoo in Monroe, WA. The girls got to hold a few of the reptiles... definitely worth the stop!

Sunday Excursion

 

Summer is finally here! No more school, no more books... well, you know the rest! The girls have been out of school for over a week now, and we have filled up our days off with dance rehearsals & recitals (Kailie dances with The Next Step Dance Studio), gymnastics (Maeghan is still with Apple Valley), art classes through the museum, family visits, swimming, bike rides (the girls made it around the Loop Trail twice this past week), and finally a visit to Ohme Gardens on Sunday. This week we are exchanging the art classes for bible school; and since the hills around town are still pretty green, a few hikes will be on the list too. We will be sure to post some pictures!

The Reptile Zoo came to our school...

 

So you know that Reptile Zoo off Highway 2 (near Monroe) that you never stop in to visit, you should totally reconsider that the next time you drive over to the west side of our state. The Reptile Man came over to Wenatchee yesterday courtesy of the PTA at the girls' school. It was actually pretty entertaining! We got to meet a couple of turtles, some lizards, more than a few venomous snakes, and a sweet alligator. Here are some pictures the girls had taken while we were there... Maeghan is holding Lucy the alligator, and Kailie is wrapped up in Betty the Boa Constrictor. I know we will be making the stop the next time we drive across the mountains =)

Our January activities... so far

 

We have been travelling to gymnastics meets to watch our Maeghan flip out (in a good way); Kailie and Daddy have had a few special hunting trips; we've celebrated some special birthdays (Daddy turned 40 and Kailie turned 10!); and most importantly, we have enjoyed each others' company!!
