SF wives weekend getaway

The first weekend of may is the best ever and I will always look forward to it because it's girls weekend! Before we left San Franciscoafter graduation, all of us wives arranged to do a weekend get away the 1st weekend in May. This year we had it in Utah at Mindi's parents house. We ate lots of great food, slept a little, crafted, shopped, chatted and chatted and held babies that we got to meet for the first time. It was a nice relaxing weekend with the girls and I loved every minute of it.


Easter '10

My parents flew down to Arizona for Easter so all the Woolf siblings got together at my house and had a Easter feast and an Easter egg hunt for the kids. It was lots of work but so much fun to be with family.




Happy Easter!!

My boys...




My two Nephites

The boys like to pretend that they are Nephites going to war against the Lamanites. I love their costumes!

2010 Vancouver Olympics

We were so pumped to have the Olympics in Canada this year. We really wanted to go but it just wasn't feasible for us at that time. We made an Olympic rings count down and made sure we had our Canadian Flags out to cheer on our Canadian athletes. We also went and hung out with family and made a big cookie with the Olympic rings on it. It's a tradition in the Woolf family to do that for each Olympics. There was a lot of patriotic spirit in our home and you could even feel it everywhere you went. We are proud to be Canadians.


After the Olympics I was able to find cheap tickets to go to Vancouver to visit our friends the Steed's . I kept telling them that I would come out and visit and that time worked out to be the best for us. I didn't know at the time when I booked my flights that I was going to Vancouver during the Paralympics so when I arrived Sharlee surprised me with tickets to a Sledge Hockey game while I was there. Vancouver is an amazing place to visit. It reminded me of San Francisco except with Canadian style and lots of tress and mountains. I had so much fun visiting and hanging out with them and the kids. I got a tour of UBC dental school that Brett is going to, we went to the beach and a few parks, and ate some really yummy food. It was so fun and really relaxing.
I couldn't believe how many Canadian Flags I saw all over the city. You could still feel the strong pride from the Canadian people even after the Olympics.






Thank you Steed Family for the fun weekend! Love you!

Gymnastics class


Ki did a winter/spring gymnastics class and loved every minute of it. He was so good at listening to his teacher and following the rules. Nate and I enjoyed watching Ki every week get better and stronger. For the last class I made him a gold medal for his big achievement. Way to go Ki, You did it!!

Our New Home





















We officially bought a house today!! We found a home that was a foreclosure and has been vacant for the past two years. We need to do some very minor repairs from some water that leaked cause the upstairs toilets cracked in the dead of winter. Basically replace some drywall and paint some walls. We got the keys handed to us at 3:00pm. We LOVE LOVE LOVE our home and can't wait to move into it. Jared and Elaine and their girls came over and we had a pizza party (pizza Friday) on a blanket in our dining room area. It was so fun to have our first visitors. We can't wait to show all of you our new home soon too. After the pizza party we cleaned up some drywall that was scattered all over the hardwood and then Jared and Brett took off a drywall panel off the ceiling in the kitchen to see if there was mold in the trusses. THERE IS NO MOLD!!! Yeah! We are so blessed. We can't wait to make this house our HOME! We are so excited.

Brett's 30....

Happy 30th Birthday Brett. It was really fun to prepare for his BIG day. About a month ago I sat down with him and asked him what he would like to do for his birthday. I gave him a few options that I thought would be fun to do. Since the Olympics are in Canada this year in Vancouver, B.C. I thought maybe we would like to go and see the Canadian hockey team play. We looked into it and the flights were ridiculously high so we ruled that out. So then I thought maybe he would like to go to a Flames Hockey game with some of his high school buddies. The cool thing about going to a Flames game on or around his 30th Birthday is that the Calgary Flames team is celebrating 30 years as well. So then we got an idea from my Brother-in-law, Scott to go see the Flames play in Phoenix with all the guys in the Woolf family and then they could stay at my parents new house in Peoria, AZ. Zach Davis, a buddy from dental school also came to the game. So we found him really cheap flights out of Great Falls, MT. Joel and Josh got tickets to the Flames/ Phoenix game so Brett was able to see his brother for his birthday as well. This was the first birthday that they have ever been a part from each other (besides on their missions). The Flames lost but Brett still had a great time down there visiting with everyone.

I made him a German chocolate cake the day before his birthday so the kids could sing to him because we wanted to go out the night of his b-day.

We went to visit Dad at work and eat cake with him and his staff.

Opening his presents



Brett was being really silly with the velvet tie I put on his gift.
Happy 30th to you and the Flames... Go Flames Go!! (Nine losses in a row)
The evening of Brett's birthday we went out with Dave and Sharon to a really cool restaurant called Bolero and then we went to see Avatar for Dave and Sharon's 1st, Nadine's 2nd and Brett's 3rd time. Such a great movie.

Brett loves chocolate cake so I decided to make Brett's mom's recipe of German chocolate cake for him. It turned out great and tasted delicious.
We had so much fun making your BIG day special. Hope you had a great one!!! We LOVE you!
