Wyoming

For those of you who don't know, we were able to go stay in my family's home in Wyoming for 3 weeks this summer. It was so awesome. I know to some people it sounds like a very boring vacation, but for us it was amazing. We were able to play outside everyday because the temperature was about 75-80 degrees all the time. Here are some things that we were able to do on our trip.We went fishing. Alex even bought the girls their own fishing poles so they could participate with him. They had so much fun. Olivia pole had a plastic butterfly on the end instead of a hook(we're not stupid) and tons of real very colorful butterflies started flying all around her. I told her that they liked her butterfly and she got real serious and told me that they were making fun of her butterfly. When I asked why she said "because they are real and she is fake". It was so funny, but also kind of sad because it made her sad to think of them making fun of her butterfly. Anyway, we had a great time and as you can tell it was absolutely beautiful.My sister Sara brought her kids up to stay for a little over a week and Olivia had so much fun with them. They played outside and we would not see them for hours. Olivia was so sad when they had to leave.

There was some work involved. We were assigned to paint the fence that goes all around the property while we were there so in proper Wolfley fashion-we made the kids do it. They actually could do a fairly good job and they loved it-especially because my dad was in charge and they just adore him. We also told them we wouldn't do their hair until they were done:)

We also had the Michalson Family reunion, but of couse I forgot to take pictures. The girls were able to get a lot of sewing projects done and the boys watched a lot of history channel. Over all it was a great vacation and it really gave us a good long break before the hectic semester begins.

Hair Cuts

The girls hair had been driving me crazy before our vacation so when we got to Utah we took them to get their hair cut at a place called cookie cutters. It was the cutest place. They had a bunch of movies to pick and at every station they had dvd players to watch their movie. The chairs were shaped like cars or airplanes. The best part was that the girls that worked there specialized in cutting little kids hair so they were fast and worked around them moving. It was such a great experience and their hair turned out so cute. Here are some before and after pictures.

4th of July Fun

For the 4th this year we were in Utah with my Sister. Most of my family ended up there on their way on different vacations so we had a big family dinner and then let the kids play games in the yard. We had so much fun!!



They had a slip n' slide set up and the kids loved it. This was Olivias first time on one and she was awesome. She had no fear and would jump and slide with the best of them.



Abby didn't want to slide, she just wanted to model her swimsuit in the little pool at the end. "Hey good lookin'"

Next they had gunny sack races. The kids were having lots of fun until the "men" decided they wanted a turn. We even had a special appearence on the end from cousin it. Who lets their children out in public with hair like that?




Ammon really wanted to win-check out that face-pure determination. He was so set on winning that he pushed over his 5 yr old nephew in order to win.



He didn't stop at this-he then rubbed it in their faces and did a victory dance. I'm so glad that then men in our family are so mature.

Vern wasn't so mean and Warren took him-poor Vern.

Later that night we set some fireworks off in the street while the kids screamed and my brother Dennis complained that they weren't cool enough. All in all it was a great day and everyone had a good time. Thanks to Sara and Doug for letting us mess up their house and eat all their food-we will be back next year.
