If you are going to do any kid sports (outdoor) the 70-200 IS f4 is awsome and is about the bear minimum that you would want for a wildlife lense. Add a 1.4 converter for the outdoor stuff.
I haven't done it, but I have read that it is pretty good for portraits as well.
I use mine often for soccer with the kids, it works well for wildlife as well.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

I agree with huntnfool on the 5d2 and agree with Tom on the 24-105 for an all around starter lens.  For what your wife is doing you probably want a full frame sensor.  I upgraded to the 5d3 because I needed the pro autofocus and high iso capability for a lot of my photography.
