The Wolfe Family

Binky

2010-08-02T10:10:00.000-07:00

Hello!

I just wanted to fill you in with whats going on in the Wolfe household.

We have been trying to get rid of Kason's Binky. I think it has over stayed it's welcome. Kason LOVES it and that has always been his security item. But as he has ages and got teeth, we are starting to see the affects. As genetics has it he is pretty much doomed in the teeth department and will most likely need orthodontic work which is totally fine. But the Binky has made its mark. We were told by a doctor to just quit the Bink cold turkey. However, doing that would mean days of unhappiness and screaming and i don't want to do that to Kason, or to us for that matter :). We have started just using the Bink at night and during nap time and he is completely fine with that. Its nice to not see the Bink in his mouth and he talking much better as well. Besides the fact he still uses the newborn soothie pacifiers they give in the hospital hes 2 now and doesn't really need it anymore. His inspiration is this.... We told him if he gets rid of the Binky he can get an Escalade (the power wheels one, not a real one ha ha). So far that has worked like a charm. When he asks for his "B" I say don't you want an Escalade? YES! WOAH! is his response. Usually I am not a fan of bribery but this time i find it necessary!

He also does NOT like to be called a baby! I was a little sad the other day going through his clothes for donation. It it just so amazing how fast they grow and change. When he gets out of the bath is the only time he likes to be called a baby. Mostly because i swaddle him in his towel and carry him to his room like a baby. Once we get half way down the hallway hes ready to be a big boy again!

Well, that's whats been going on in a nut shell!

Talk to you soon!

Vacation

2010-07-25T15:59:00.000-07:00

Hello all!

Sorry for the delay in blogging.

We have been pretty busy lately. Not so much enjoying the heat but i have faith it will be cool in a couple months :).

We went to California recently and had so much fun! We stayed at the Hyatt on Mission Bay in San Diego. Kason discovered his love for amusement parks. He is a little dare devil! He absolutely LOVED the Tilt A Whirl. We went on it about 10 times. The ride goes really fast. I tried to hold on to him the entire time but Mr. Independent wanted none of that! He was push me away and mom no! He didn't quite understand or realize he was flopping all over the place. We laughed hysterically the whole time. Mikes not a big fan of those kind of rides so I got to go on it with Kason. He so badly wanted to go on the roller coaster but he wasn't big enough, but he kept pointed at it and saying "Me! Me!". He will get to go on that in a few years!

Kason really enjoyed the Beach as well. The water was pretty cold, but we did put our feet in and picked up shells. He made sand castles and threw sand at me. We even found some sort of crab, he didn't like that so much but it was pretty cool to find! We went swimming at the pool and Kason wore arm floaties. He loves the water and had a blast!

Then there was Sea World. The land of Shamu, or Mamu as Kason would say. Who goes to Sea World without watching the Shamu show? Thats right, we do! We missed the Shamushow because Kason was putting on a show of his own! He found a grassy area right by a speaker and danced for about 20 minutes. He had an audience which he loved. He is so funny! We have it on video and I will try and figure out to upload it!.

That is the recap of our vacation! Thanks for checking in!

Almost 2!

2010-07-08T18:44:00.000-07:00

I cant believe our little boy is going to be 2 tomorrow. It just seems like such a miracle that we are where we are today. I told Kason when he woke up this morning that i would tell him step by step what i did exactly 2 years ago today. Around 12:30 I was just sitting around eating chips n' salsa and minding my own business watching some quality programing ((Roseanne)) he he... and then it was time!

Kason is very excited for his birthday. He wants choo choo toys and Dora toys, no surprise there! Tomorrow night we are going to dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Wolfe. We love spending quality time with them so it will be a blast! Plus, Kason gets presents which he will love this year more than last.

As I'm writing this, both my kids (Mike and Kason :) ) are wrestling, and Kason can really take Daddy down. Its pretty amusing to watch.

I really cannot believe how fast kids grow up. It seems like just yesterday we found out it was a boy. Now hes a little Monster! Never in my life have I felt a love like I feel for Kason. He makes our world go round.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUG!!!!!!!!

Sedona

2010-06-05T19:55:00.000-07:00

Hello again!

Sorry it has taken me a while to upday, we have been pretty busy!

We went to Sedona on Memorial Day and had so much fun! We want to move up there its so beautiful. Kason had a blast. He is such a little out doors guy. Daddy and Kason went and played by Oak Creek. Kason wanted to go in but it was too cold and a little too fast.

Kason got a pair of cowboy boots that he rocked the whole trip. He looked like such a stud. Everyone thought he was adorable! ((Which he is)) :)

We stayed at a little Cottage right outside of Sedona, right on Oak Creek. It had a heart shaped bath tub, that Kason got to take a bath in. He loved it. There was the cutest Bull Dog staying across from us that LOVED Kason. We wanted to take it home so bad, but we knew if we added another dog to our crew our family would probably stop speaking to us! haha. Oh ya, and it had owners. :)

We walked through Sedona every day and had a blast. We cant wait to go back!!!

Driving School

2010-05-29T16:21:00.000-07:00

Who doesn't want to spend Saturday morning at driving school? Sitting on the most uncomfortable chairs ever created (which were created as a punishment I'm sure.) Well, that's what i got to do this morning! That will teach me to ever go 5 miles over the speed limit, or at least around a photo radar (just kidding!) The best part of these classes are the people who have an opinion about everything and think they know it all. News flash, you don't, and i of all people just don't care! We had a few of them in class today. They made the class that much more enjoyable if you can only imagine.

I tried to get some sympathy when i got home and told Mike how tired I was from sitting for 4 and half hours and what a busy day i had. I didn't get any sympathy though. I got this, "Babe, Really? You sat in a class room setting for 4 and half hours." Well he was right but i had to try!

Kason got to spend the morning with Daddy. They went for coffee, and while dad had a coffee Kason had a yummy yogurt parfait. They went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Wolfe which is always fun!

We are rooting for the Suns tonight to take the Lakers. Last game was a heart breaker. Talk about a let down.

GO SUNS!

Tuesday

2010-05-25T18:46:00.000-07:00

Kason did great at swim lessons today. He still yelled MOMMY a lot but it was a lot less dramatic then usual. :) Mike got to hit the golf course today and hit some balls at the range. He hasn't been out for a while so i think he enjoyed it. Here are some pictures from the baseball game and swimming. ENJOY!

WOLFE!

2010-05-24T19:04:00.000-07:00

Well, I am officially a Wolfe today! I went to the Social Security office and changed my name! I will always be a Keegan so I kept that too. I was just so excited to have the same last name as Mike and Kason. Plus now if people ever say to Kason "what, were you raised by Wolves" he can say Yes! :)

Kason went to the Park this evening and went down the slides with Mommy and Daddy. He loves the big kid play ground so we get to play too. There are always kids playing Basketball, he likes to stand and watch them. Then he went to get Ice Cream, a nice little treat for a special little boy. After a few bites he was more into his bottle of water than the ice cream so we finished it off for him!

Tomorrow he has swimming lessons. His level of class is called the Diaper Ducks, (isn't that adorable?) He says he doesn't want to go, but he has to and he will have fun. They throw ducks, fish and frogs and has to kick kick kick to go get them. He knows to hold his breath when its time to go under water. The teacher counts to three then under he goes. Its pretty amusing because he has the cutest face when he goes under. That is about the only time during the lesson hes not yelling MOMMY! We dont get to go in the water, which I guess is a good thing so they learn without us right there, but i so badly always want to jump in and comfort him. The umbilical cord doesn't go that far :).

We ended up going in the pool last weekend at LoLo's and he had a blast. He was showing off all of his new moves hes learned in swim class. His favorite part is to splashy Mommy.

Hope everyone is doing well!
Please tell others about our blog, and hope to see/talk to you all soon! :)

Sunday Fun Day

2010-05-23T18:26:00.000-07:00

Kason had a blast at the Diamondbacks Game! We had great seats and he loved watching the teams. He didn't care which team he was rooting for, he just loved clapping and cheering! I think we will be going to many more games since he enjoyed it so much. He got to eat a Hot Dog and he shared a Frozen Yogurt with Mommy! We couldn't leave without getting him something from the team shop, he got a Dalmatian stuffed animal with a Diamondback Hat on and his very first and real baseball! They were handing out bats and wiffle balls at the door so he scored a freebie too. When it was time to go he said by to the whole section we were sitting in, and waved to all the baseball players. I think we made it through about 3 or 4 innings which isn't bad! I will post some pictures later!

Sports Day!

2010-05-23T08:02:00.000-07:00

We are taking Kason to his first baseball game! He is very excited and we think he is really going to enjoy it. Papa Roger has season tickets so we were lucky enough to snag the two for today! (thanks dad!)

We told Kason he gets to eat yummy stadium food and even Ice Cream. He was super excited about that!

Our little man is growing up so fast! He is going to be 2 in July and time is going by way to fast. He has started learning to use the Potty and always tells me when its time to "Poo". Sometimes he makes it to the potty and he waves BYE to his you know what. He loves it, which is good. At least he is excited about using the big boy potty.

Last night i wanted to cry. I was washing my face and Kason was sitting on the bed with all of his stuffed animals, reading them a book. AH, how can one person be soooooo adorable! He makes my heart melt, its unreal!

Well that's all for now. We will let you know how the baseball game goes! Should be a lot of fun!

Have a Happy Sunday Fun day!

It's almost been a week!

2010-05-21T19:56:00.000-07:00

Well as many of you know, Mike and I FINALLY got married on Saturday May 15Th. We got married at a Golf Course that Mike plays at often and we have a lot of friends that work there so it seemed the perfect place for us. The wedding turned out better than we imagined. Everyone warned us not to be upset when things don't go as planned, but we didn't notice anything that was out of place! Maybe we are used to things not going as planned?!

The ceremony started at 6pm and the weather was very nice. I held my composure and didn't start crying until right before my Dad and I walked down the aisle. That's good for me... believe me! The ceremony lasted a whole 15 minutes and was amazing! We didn't want a really long drawn out ceremony. We just wanted to be married for goodness sake! After the ceremony and the final pictures were taken we moved over to the cocktail hour and mingled with everyone. It was so nice to see everyone who came to support us. We are so gracious that everyone came.

Our first dance as husband and wife was to Blue Octobers "18Th Floor Balcony". We listened to this song a lot when we first started dating and it was the best song for us to dance to as married folk. My dad picked out the song for us to dance to. We danced to Elton Johns "You'll Be Blessed". Such a good song! Great pick Papa! Kason was a dancing machine that night. I don't think he ever left the dance floor. He loved dancing with all the little girls that were there and whenever I would try to dance with him he wouldn't let me. I guess that means I wont be invited to his Prom. We will cross that bridge when we come to it I guess!

I cant believe it has already been a week! Although nothing has really changed we LOVE being married! Our family is official!

Thanks again for all the amazing gifts and well wishes! Our wedding wouldn't have been the same with out everyone there!
