Spring Break 2011

     Well, we had a fun spring break doing all the things we like!  First we got to go over to Seattle and spend some time with our cousin, Mikaila.  She is going to Gene Juarez for cosmetology school, so we thought it would be neat to have her cut and style our hair.  After along afternoon in the salon, we got to have dinner at the Rainforest Cafe... the food there is so good.  Mom even let us have the volcano dessert - it came to the table with a lit sparkler on top!

     Next we got to spend some time with our cousins Caden and Alex.  While playing hide-and-go-seek with them on Saturday morning, we *accidentally* found Caden's Easter present from his mom & dad (oops).  We sure had lots of fun playing that drum set!  The Adams' and the Wulf's then spent the day down at the Seattle Aquarium; it's always one of our favorite places to visit.  Oh yeah -  before lunch, Mom took us into a really cool store called Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe.  It had a fortune teller (it only cost 25 cents!), a mummified mermaid, and lots of other weird stuff.  Finally, after lunch, we decided to end our day in Seattle by painting pottery at another of our favorite stops:  Paint the Town.

     During the actual week of Spring Break, Mom signed us up for paddle camp.  At first, we kind of didn't want to go, but after the first day we couldn't wait to go back!  We met lots of new people and learned how to paddle different kinds of boats.  It was great!  Supposedly there is going to be another paddle camp during the summer, and we're hoping mom doesn't sign us up for that one either =)

Kailie turned 11!

 

It's hard to believe, but our Kailie turned 11 years old last week!  She flipped out with her girlfriends at Apple Valley Gymnastics on Monday, had cupcakes at school on Wednesday, and got to eat at her favorite restaurant (Wok About Grill) on Friday.  Kailie has definitely learned that there is nothing wrong with celebrating your own birthday in a prolonged fashion!  Happy Birthday, Wulfer!!  We love you <3

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!!

Christmas ~ 2009

Be filled with wonder
Be touched by peace
Believe in the miracle!

May the hand of God lead you on the
roads of the New Year!

We Wulf's love to be in the paper... or on TV... or both!!

So for those of you who don't know it already... our dad is totally famous. That's right... we said it: F.A.M.O.U.S.  Yeah, he has a tv show and everything!  And because of that tv show he got to be on the front page of the newspaper over the past weekend.  Of course, our favorite part is that he actually mentions us in the article, so we get to be famous by relation.  Pretty sweet, huh?  We think so!
Good job, Daddy =)

The King and us...

 

For the past two & a half months Kailie and I were up to our necks with preparations for the 2009 All-District Musical The King & I. I was a producer, and Kailie was one of the Royal Children in the production... what a fantastic experience! We made new friends (at least 177 of them), had lots of fun (hanging out back stage, eating yummy snacks, playing games, doing crafts, etc.), and we helped to put on the best show in town. It was truly awesome!!

September 2009

 

Well, we've been busy since school started, that's for sure! For the past two weeks it seems like Mom has been living on the computer or hanging out at the high school (auditions and meetings and all that kind of stuff for The King & I). Besides going to school, we have filled our weeks with soccer practices and soccer games, a Panther football game (we beat Southridge this past Friday night), opening weekend for the Wenatchee Wild(the boys are now 8-0, and we can't wait go to the next game on October 1st), and our Grandma's wedding. Maeghan & I got to be flower girls in that thing, and it sure was fun! We got to stay up late and dance with our cousins...
I got a part in the play that Mom is working on; I am going to be one of the Royal Children. I am pretty excited now, but I sure was nervous during the auditions. Lots of my friends are in the play too, so that is going to be lots of fun. If you want to see us, the play is going to be sometime in November... I'm not too sure of the dates, so you'll have to talk to my Mom!
We've been waiting and waiting, and finally we get to start our piano lessons next week. Mrs. Lopushinsky, who is the rehearsal pianist for the play, is going to be our teacher. She is really nice, so Megs and I are happy that she is going to be our teacher. And, because I'm in the play, Mom said that I should start taking the Broadway class at Miss Becca's studio. Pretty cool, huh? Megs doesn't want to take any dance classes, so she's just going to stick with gymnastics.
Well, Dad just told me to get off the computer... I gotta get some reading minutes in for this week's homework. Bye!

Summer is over???

Looks like it, girls! Actually, Kailie & Maeghan were both ready to start school last Wednesday. They are playing soccer this fall, with the first games starting this week. Kailie is going to audition for the all-district musical The King & I next week (I am one of the producers), Maeghan will get back into gymnastics, and they both are going to start piano lessons pretty soon. Whew... add in our season tickets to the Wild (our most favorite hockey team ever), and we have a busy schedule through next spring! Hopefully we will see you at a game or two =)

Summer 2009

 

Wow! It has been a busy summer for us Wulf Girls. We have done basketball camp at Wenatchee High School, Bible School at First Pres, art camp at McDee's, soccer camp at Walla Walla park, ice skating lessons at the arena, and right now we are in the middle of dive camp at the city pool! Whew! (And you thought summers were for taking a break!!!) We have been using our pool a lot (especially the last few weeks with the temps in the 90's and 100's) and we like to go bowling too... also, I get to go to hunter safety classes pretty soon. Like my dad, I am ready for hunting season to begin... he has been doing lots of work down at the property so that we will have a great season for sure. What else have we been doing this summer? We took a road trip to Nevada the weekend of July 4th. It was a lot of fun in the car... we watched movies, colored, listened to our iPods, looked at the scenery, snacked, and enjoyed each other. We stayed at this great hotel in Reno that had a 50-lane bowling alley inside... we made sure that our mom took us bowling everyday. We also went up to the waterslides in Lake Chelan one day. Mom didn't take any pictures of that fun time, so hopefully we will go up and do it again before summer is over. Speaking of that, can you believe that school starts in only 4 weeks?! Yikes!! I sure am glad we get to lay around for the rest of the summer!
