Jake's 4th Birthday

The only group shot I could get at the party.

Jake and his cake

Jake is now a big 4 year old. We had a bumper bowling party for him and a few of his friends. Jeff's parents drove in for a very quick weekend visit so we got to have a family celebration with them and then his party with his friends. He got several new car ramps with hot wheels, spiderman themed toys, lightsabers but surprisingly his favorite seemed to be the Cincinnati Reds ball cap his mommy got him. His eyes got real big and he ran to see it on him in the mirror. He ran back in and said, "It's perfect!!" Happy Birthday Jake! ~More pictures on new link~

Thanksgiving with Friends

One Big Turkey!!
Thankful for our friends!
This year was a little different Thanksgiving for the Woolfpack. Usually we make the drive to Kansas City for Turkey Day to be with Jeff's family. But, because I work retail now, I had to be at work way too early on Friday morning. So... the Rice family graciously included us in their Thanksgiving with their family and friends. We enjoyed visiting old friends from FL who made the trip up and of course enjoyed all the yummy food! Thanks Rice Family!

Early Thanksgiving Dinner with Maggie

Today, Maggie's 3rd grade class prepared a Thanksgiving lunch for family and friends. Jeff, Jake and I were able to attend and her class did all the preparation work and served all the parents. We had a great meal that consisted of salad, homemade ranch dressing, cranberry salad, real mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, rolls and turkey. Plus, pumpkin pie and individual cheesecakes for dessert. Each child made placemats for their parents and wrote on them what they are thankful for. Jeff's said, "Thank you for making money" and mine said, "Thank you for making food all throughout the year." She wants me to be sure to say that the reason she is thankful that Jeff makes money is because it pays for our food and the important stuff. ;) Each child also had to say one thing they were thankful for in front of all the parents and Maggie said she is thankful for everyone who takes care of her. And of course, we are very thankful for Maggie!!

Trick or Treat Fun

Spiderman & "Bat" Girl waiting for Daddy to get home to go Trick-or-Treating. The carved pumpkin was done by Krysta. She gave a speech in one of her classes on "How to Carve a Pumpkin".

Silly Jake & Maggie ready to get some candy!

Jake as his FAVORITE character: Spiderman! In action...shooting his web.

Maggie decided to ditch the Hannah Montana wig...was getting on her nerves...so at the last minute put on this bat headband, put on her fangs, and went as a very "bat" girl.


Here is Maggie as Hannah Montana with her brownie troop at a local Halloween Festival. She's the one with the long blonde wig. ;)
