Thanksgiving in California!

Well, we sure had fun in Claremont!

It was so great to see everyone and we did all sorts of fun things. Thanksgiving dinner was at Lanie and Papa Ed's and was delicious as usual. For the first time EVER, we got up at 6:30 am to do Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving. Katie and I were so surprised to see Mom get up and come with us. We weren't surprised that she'd get up, but shopping in crowds is not her thing. We got so many great deals, I think this may become a Wolfe girl tradition --maybe :) We played frisbee golf at the world's first disc golf course in Pasadena. We went to Bass Pro to window shop, practice shooting-ha, and eat seafood. We watched a great football game when BYU beat Utah. And best of all: Tyler learning to crawl while we were there! What a fun and eventful week!!

Frisbee Golf Adventure

Here is the picture of our fun group playing frisbee golf:

Katie, Dad, Casey, Mark, Jeff, Andy!! Mom, Tyler and I were there too ;)

HE DID IT!!

Last night Tyler slept through the night!! I'm talking 12 hours, non-stop, no noise, nothing!! It was wonderful. I woke up to his sweet cries at 7:00 this morning thinking it had to be about 4 am, but no, he did it! Although he may be 4 months past due (according to many of my friends), I'll take it. It took awhile for us to be able to let him cry 5 minutes here and there during the night, but once we did, he's been sleeping much better (Besides the occasional cold and tooth cutting here and there). Which I just noticed he grew another tooth without any warning; I just found another tooth in his mouth, all the way through the gums. Now it makes sense that he woke 3-4 times every night when we were in Cali. visiting my family. But like I said, last night was wonderful and a much needed catch up after the busy fun we had over the Thanksgiving holiday! Thank you Tyler!

Tyler's First Haircut!

Well, we decided Tyler's mohawk needed a little trim. He was a great customer (not quite as bossy as Jeff!) and paid me in kisses afterward. I'm sure you will be able to pick out the before and after. I think he actually enjoyed it! I think his new doo makes him look a little older, which is perfect since he is 8 months old tomorrow!!!

Happy Halloween!!

So, this picture pretty much sums it up!! The combination of teething, a cold, Dad gone at school all day, and finally realizing he was a skunk made for a hard day.

Here we are a little happier without the hat.

Zac the Monkey and Tyler the Skunk: Trying to help each other get that funny nose paint off!

Once we got the boys all dressed up, we headed to our ward's Trunk-or-Treat activity. Yes, I felt a little funny taking around a baby who clearly was not going to enjoy the candy collection. But I had a job to do: Jeff told me to get as much candy as possible since he would not be there to do so himself. I couldn't disappoint him. (And after the long day I previously mentioned, I was in need of some chocolate myself!)

It didn't take long for Tyler to figure out what Halloween is all about. I'm sure you can imagine my thought process at this moment: He is happy so take the picture then figure out how to distract him while removing the sugar from his paws.

Here he is the next morning after a good night sleep in his skeleton pjs.

Halloween Fun

Tyler climbing on them and yes Jeff really used a drill to carve his entire pumpkin!!


I love Tyler's pumpkin- its a baby face. Cute big eyes and a bottom-tooth-grin! Jeff's is the big one and my pumpkin has the bats! OOOH scary!

This is just our pre-Halloween fun. More pictures to come. Don't you worry!

Who does Tyler look like now?

Now that Tyler is 7 months old, we can see a little of both of us. Take the poll and decide for yourself who you think he resembles the most.

Ken and Judy's Visit

Jeff's parents came to visit us this past week and sure had fun! Jeff took his parents up to our favorite place: Salmon Hot Springs. The two hour drive is really beautiful, followed by an hour hike that is even prettier.

Once you get to the top of the mountain, there are pools of natural hotsprings. If you sit in the highest one, you can see waterfalls leading down to the lower ones; The higher up you go, the warmer the water. There is also a waterfall you can swim under and end up in a little cave. This is Jeff and my favorite place to just sit and talk, and appreciate the beautiful world we live in.

Our Weekend in Park City

We drove down to Park City to visit Lanie & Papa and Katie at the condo. We had a great weekend together! We found Tyler's Halloween costume (a skunk!!) and enjoyed the weekend away. It snowed all day Saturday but Katie and I still went shopping at the outlets! Tyler loved playing with everybody, even Buck!

Labor Day in Boise

For Labor Day, we all went to Boise to visit Tommy, Melonie and Lily!! The adults got to go rafting down the Payette River.

We also played Frisbee Golf one day (Our favorite thing to do lately!!) Jeff was so proud of me that I had the best throw. After him and my dad, of course... don't tell Tommy ;)

Back to Idaho

Well, the end of August, we celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary!! as we drove across the country to return to Idaho ;)

In Wyoming we found a Jeffrey City and had to stop!! Jeff swears the mileage sign said

"Jeffery City" which is how he spells his name. This one said "Jeffrey"- he was a little bummed.

Then finally we arrived in Idaho... Just in time to check out this beautiful sunset. We knew we

were home.



I believe this one should be entered in a contest. The texture of the grass and his hair look so cool... and of course the baby's pretty cute too.
