Most states require you to file articles of organization, or a similar document to form the LLC. Typically these forms and processes can be found on your State's official website. You won't be actually "converting" from a sole proprietorship to an LLC, however - you'll just be forming a brand new corporate entity.

Regarding your wife, during the formation process online you should see an area where you can add "members" of the LLC. This is where your wife's information would go. You should have an operating agreement for the LLC created as well, which acts much like a partnership agreement, which will govern the business relationship between you and your wife with respect to the LLC. An operating agreement is best handled by an attorney.
