Now it's Christmas!

It's not Christmas until Aunt Pat sends her ornaments! As long as I can remember, every year at this time she sends out an ornament and Christmas letter. She is the reason I do my letters and I think that's where I get my craftiness from! So, now that I have a family of my own, we have a tree full of ornaments from Aunt Pat and it just makes this time of year that much more special! One of these days I'll find her time and energy to send out homemade gifts as well. Until then, enjoy our Christmas letters and pictures:) Merry Christmas and thank you Aunt Pat for inspiring me!

Peas and Christmas

Adam's first veggies- we chose peas because Matthew's dad hates them and I wanted to make sure to send him pictures! Adam loved them from first bite. We figure he'll eat anything as long as he's being fed :) We took a few pictures of him in his little cowboy outfit in front of Grandma and Papa Bailey's tree. It was hard to get pictures of him looking at the camera- all he wanted to do was look at the lights. Plus- they have the bubble lights- all the more interesting for the little ones. It's very sweet to see the boys getting so exited for Christmas. Children always remind you of how magical this timeof year can be.

Dad has a gimpy buck with one formed antler- he was standing on my parents front porch and surprised my dad as we were walking out. Guess he was going to knock on the door and ask for his dinner (yep- he makes sure all of his "dogs" are fed!)

Time To Update!

I know I know- It's been a while. I have been pretty busy with the boys and my new job. I never thought I'd be this happy working full time and not being a stay at home mom. I miss the boys, but the time we do have is all the more special. I'm happy knowing they are being well taken care of with my mom and dad- they always worked and we were in daycare since babies. This is their "do-over". It's funny- my dad is the 3rd mom- he tells Matthew and I what we need to do for Adam when we pick up the boys- it's very sweet. My job is amazing. Working at the Air Force Academy is awesome. The drive is gorgeous and the people are great. I feel very lucky to be there. Adam is getting so big! He's sitting up and eating cereal. He'll start veggies this week. Landon just loves being a big brother. He makes sure Adam has enough to play with by dumping all of his toys on him (gently for the most part!) I'm sure looking forward to this Christmas. I've done most of my shopping, had our pictures taken and this weekend we cut down our tree. I'll soon be starting our Christmas letter and mailing them out. The boys and I will decorate the house and make yummy treats. Adam loves anything with paper so it will be neat to see him tear open the Christmas presents! I'll post our pictures of cutting down the Wolfe Christmas tree this weekend and anything else exiting that happens. Here's a few pics in the meantime from the past couple of months

Picture Perfect

My favorite picture.... My brother is such an important person in my life and I was so thrilled when he said he was coming to meet his newest nephew. He was in the delivery room when Landon was born and I was so grateful he was there. It was such an amazing time to have my husband and family there with me- brings me to tears just remembering that moment. Kris arrived earlier this week and the boys and I headed over to mom's house. I was so happy she had her camera in her hand to capture this picture. It could not have been staged or re-created, it was such a sweet moment of me showing Kris his baby nephew. The smile on our faces is priceless- Adam's smile stretched further than his face. He seemed to know that this was "his" Uncle and they would be bonded for life. It was such a great week- took a lot of pictures with the family and of Kris and Landon playing hard and then Kris and Adam sleeping peacefully. Thank you Kris for being here and making another moment in the lives of our family so special. We love you and your nephews just adore you!

Fall Is On It's Way!

Landon, Adam, and I were driving home the other day and as we pulled into the driveway we saw a plant in the mix of the pine trees with red, orange and yellow leaves. Holy Cow! How is fall here already? The native Coloradans tell me that fall begins on Labor Day here. I'm still figuring out this weather. I'm still adjusting to seasons! But fall is my favorite- the colors are so beautiful. I love the feel of a sunny day with a crisp breeze that smells so good. I'm looking forward to going to the pumpkin patch with my boys and decorating the house and baking some yummy treats. Landon wants to be 'Thomas' for Halloween this year (surprise! surprise!) And Adam will be a monkey (if we can squeeze his big buns in Landon's first Halloween costume!) So- I look forward to more beautiful pictures of the ever changing foliage and the deer getting their winter coats. We need to start pulling out our winter-wear too!

Matthew's 35th Birthday Week

My husband has turned 35! It's a pretty big year. We have sure been through a lot these past 5 years together. I can't say enough about Matthew. He is an amazing man. He is beyond brilliant...he can fix anything (usually involves cardboard and duck tape- and it lasts forever:) )

He is a wonderful father~ his boys just adore him~so does mommy. He's a typical guy- worries about providing for the family and wants to make sure the kids have a college fund and we have our retirement taken care of. As for me~ I live in the now and it's great that he balances me out. He has accomplished a lot in the past 35 years. From his career at Disney to being a married man with 2 boys (so far!) and has been racing for the past few years in the SCCA~ I would say it's been a great ride and I'm looking forward to a long journey with him. I am so thankful for the life he has given me~ our boys~the beautiful state we live in~ our dream house~ our dreams...Happy Birthday Matthew! I love you today, tomorrow and always!

My Landon

I have been looking through pictures of when Landon was Adam's age. Seems like forever ago. I can't believe how big and tall he is now. He has such a strong personality. He is such a sweet boy, but- holy cow can he give you some looks when he's not so sweet! That's my fault- he got that from me- and I guess Matthew too! I love having conversations with him. He tells me what he did today and who was "naughty"- very funny! I can't belive how much he remembers and what he retains- he got that from Matthew~hands down! I'm just so proud of him...he is such a polite boy and loves meeting new friends. He goes up to everyone and says "Hi- I'm Landon...How you doing?" (Think 'Friends') I just laugh! He just makes me smile. Here's a picture of us when Landon was about a month old and one about the same age Adam is now- he's quite the little man now!
