She's finally getting the hang of her Dora tricycle so we decided to try out the Pooh helmet that seems to have found it's way into our garage. She loved it for a little bit!
Doesn't she just look super cute?
This wasn't "I want out" ... she was screeching at me for taking her picture!!
Even on the tallest setting she couldn't stand up!! After about 30 minutes she finally was okay with getting out and playing with her big girl toys.
The shower started off with Kali getting a puppy and carrier from Grandma and Papa Coldwell. Grandma is very very good at spoiling Kali! The puppy is a little girl Yorkie and she named it Coco Baby just like our dog. She's so funny with it and pulls it around by the leash.
One of Misty's cousin's kept feeding Kali icing off of her cake... lucky for Kali she didn't like the icing!!
See Mama... my hands are dirty! Kali can't stand to have dirty hands!!
Kali is really good at tracking down the next youngest kid in the room! This is Misty's cousin Alyssa... she was a good sport and played with Kali throughout the shower.
She would not leave Alyssa's side!
"HI MAMA!!"
Kali was so excited every time that Misty opened a gift. She would yell out "OOOHHHHH!" Come to think about it she didn't even do that at her own birthday party! Maybe we should have bought her housewares instead of toys for her birthday??
She just couldn't get enough!!
Aunt Manny co-hosted the party... good job! It was a lot of fun!!
"Dora.. Boots.. KISS"Kali plays so well on her own. This is from Wednesday morning before bath time. I had gotten her down to her diaper and she took off and I found her here at the Dora House!!
This may not be the most interested post I have ever done but it's cute to watch her play!
Here is Nathan demonstrating his "redneck bench press"...
and now the redneck curl bar!
Finally the redneck javelin! He is so funny sometimes!
I left the fridge open for a second because I had a lot of stuff in my hands and turned around to see this...
And then fed it to Coco! Boy was he excited for the unexpected treat!!
Aunt Traci was bidding for the favorite gift again. Last year she got Kali a little rocking pony that sings when you pinch it's ears. Kali still runs to it and wants to ride it. Here is the Dora Playhouse... she LOVES IT! As you can see she is trying to get inside of it through the front door.
Grandma Coldwell surprised us with the crib that her grandpa made her when she was 2. Then me and my sisters played with it when we were little. Now that I have a little one it was time to pass it on! Mom played a trick on me saying that she couldn't find the crib and that she thought that Dad had thrown it away. She brought it out when we started opening presents... it was a wonderful surprise! I have memories of tucking out kitty into this crib in the basement when we first moved to Missouri... I hope she loves it as much as I always did! Thanks Mom and Dad!!
I had her interested in opening presents for a few minutes.
Then it was back to playing with her babies! Kaelyn and I opened up most of Kali's presents ourselves. Kali is very easily distracted by her babies!!
Look at her dress. Nana Foley made it for her. See the big pink buttons? They are Kali's favorite part. She pinches them to make them touch and then touches them to her nose.
Here is the cake. She was soooo excited to see that she had a Dora cake.
She tried to blow out the candles... Mama had to help a little bit!!
In all Kali really just wanted to play with her babies. She is such a good Mama! 
Nathan really likes the purple Dora chair!!
He watched almost and entire movie in that chair! Grandma Coldwell did say that it would hold up to 100lbs!
Cuddle time! In the evening she HAS to be where he is and doing what he is doing. Half the time Nathan is annoyed, most of the time he loves it! Don't get too comfy Nate Dawg... Sister comes home this weekend!! :-)
We started off before bath time wearing Manny's hat. She constantly pulls it on her head and chases me around the house yelling out... Manny's hat... Manny's hat! She loves it and especially loves that it used to be Manny's hat!
We were rolling around on the floor and just started shooting pictures... Man oh man she is so much fun!!
She sticks her tongue out ALL THE TIME like I did when I was little. My mom keeps telling me that she is sooooo much the way I was!! If that is so then she is on to great things! :-)
Her raspberry is a little bit more subdued than mine!
Kali said: "All done Mama"
Check out Kali and the 50 cent garage sale baby watching Dora together!
She caught me with the camera and tried to steal it... I won she lost! And what a cute picture that came out of the wrestling match! For Labor Day this year, all of the guys went dove hunting up North. Here is the role call: Grandpa Coldwell, Uncle Chuck, Uncle Chad, Uncle Ray, Mike, Nathan, and Clayton. The guys were up super super early because according to Papa Coldwell you have to be in the field 45 minutes before dawn. In all 7 dove were shot and 5 were retrieved. Mike oopsied and shot a blackbird... they didn't bring that one home! He states that he was just warming up! Below is a movie of Nathan shooting a big shotgun for the second time. If you know anything about guns you'll know that his legs are too close together and he's lucky that he didn't fall down. They had a really good time and Nathan can't wait to go again!!

It sounds like Nathan shot the gun three times but it really was only one shot, at the end when he bucks back!
