Kali and Coco taking a walk!!

Here is Kali chasing after Coco down the side walk! Listen closely and you will here the sweetest giggle you have ever heard!! Enjoy!!!

She just loves her Coco-Baby!!

She's got game

We love it when we get a nice afternoon to play outside. Kimberly took advantage of the weather to give Kali a little lesson in basketball! She loved playing outside with "SHISHER" (sister) as she calls Kimberly.

Kimberly was giving her a pep talk... "You want me to get the ball way up there??"

Hey... I can't perform with all of the camera flashes!!

Almost there... I totally am getting some air!

OOPS! Dropped the ball...let's try again!

This one was a SLAM DUNK!!

What do I do with this thing??

When Kali got up from her 3 hour nap... read entry below... she was a brand new kid! So, we decided to go get her a potty chair per recommendation of our pediatrician. Kali has been pointing out when she's going "poopoo" and even lately says when she's going "peepee". Let's just say I'm not sure she completely get it yet but never fear... it's only day one and she's only 18 months old! When I sat her down on it she freaked out and then proceeded to do the following:

My orange juice fits perfect in the hole!!

Let's try the baby instead of the juice...

How's that feel baby?? How about taking a walk??

I guess we need to get her a baby stroller now?

Getting sick??

Kali was running a fever all day on Monday! So, I thought I would capture some of her other faces! I'll warn you, the next one is kinda scary!!

YIKES! When Kali doesn't feel good everyone in the house knows it! Isn't this a scary face? She was so mad that I had the camera out... can't you tell? I still want to kiss those cheeks!! Nap time anyone??

When we went to lay down for a nap these folks were taking up our space! Daddy dressed up all of Kali's friends. Had she felt better she would have laughed. I'll have to show this picture to her later!!

Let's hope no one is watching! :-)

YIKES! Scary huh? Mike and Nathan went crazy with my mascara the other night! Actually, it's all gone now! Like the unibrow?? That's not usually there! :-) Nathan requested the "Hulk Hogan" facial hair... not quite sure I would mistake him for the Hulkster but funny none the less. Silly guys!!

Grandma and Papa Coldwell came out last weekend to see Kimberly and Nathan's soccer game. They won 6-1 and I don't have pictures because with the wind and the chilly temperatures we didn't stay very long! I did however get a picture of Grandma riding on the horsey with Kali at Wal-mart! Good stuff huh?! Kali was freaked out by the horse at first and Grandma made her feel better about it. Way to swallow your pride to make things better for our little Peanut!!

When she thinks we aren't watching...

One morning when I was at work Mike was making breakfast for all three kids and realized that Kali was very quiet in the living room so he peaked around the corner. He found that she had moved her ducky to an optimal cartoon watching position and grabbed a friend to join her. Where does she come up with this stuff?

This seems to be a common site around our house lately. Walk into a room and find a naked baby!! Now that she knows how to take her diaper off we can't seem to keep it on her!! Luckily we have only had a few (3) accidents on the floor. Gross yes I know! Our pediatrician thinks maybe she's ready to start potty training... I think she just likes the freedom of stripping down!

Kali likes to open the produce drawer and grab grapes out of the bowl. I clean them ahead of time, she feels more independent this way! Well, on this say she was super fussy and I was having a hard time getting dinner ready so I was non-eco friendly and left the door open so she could browse the fridge knowing that she couldn't hurt anything. When I looked back not two minutes later I noticed that she not only browsed and reorganized the door but also used the food to make towers! What a funny girl. She was so serious and very very careful!

I said to her "Look at the camera Kali!" and she copied me and said "Look Coco!!" She can be quite demanding and Mr. Coco has learned to not argue! :-)

Is it really Spring yet??

These on again off again warm days really have us confused! Now that Kali has been outside to run around a few times here and there she doesn't understand that sometimes the temperature drops and she has to wear long sleeves again! Well, here we are outside on Tuesday... soaking up the quasi warm weather!!

Nathan took this picture... see how she is eye balling my barrette??
See how I no longer have a barrette in my hair and it's quite a mess?? When she wants something she goes for gusto!! It was a wrestling match to get her hands off of my barrette but I won... with the help of Nathan that is! He did stop long enough to document the aftermath of my struggle!!

I tell ya... Coco must love his family!! Kali is so rough with him and he just takes it, anything to get a hug or a scratch behind the ears! Lately she runs up to him and yells Coco move!! Bossy little girl... but so cute when she does it. The funny thing is that Coco will not argue with her. He moves, lets her take her place, and then comes back and tries to get as close to her as possible! here Kali and Nathan are loving on Coco... even though it looks like Kali is being bossy!! :-)

Rub a Dub Dub!!

Bath time is a fun time around here! We usually take an AM bath because it's crazy around the Foley House in the PM! Kali loves to get in with Mommy or Daddy... obviously neither of us will be on the pictures though! :-)
Kali loves to fill up the bowl from the faucet and dump it on her head!!

Going back for more! Check out the belly profile... big belly, no butt or legs! What a cutie pie!!

We always finish morning bath time with brush time!! Kali likes to use her new Pooh toothbrush. I guess you could say that Kali likes to suck off the training tooth paste and then Mommy finishes it off... which is usually a struggle but always gets done!! What do yah think of the slicked up comb over? Her hair is so long these days that if we don't comb it over wet it is in her face all day.

Easter all day!!

Easter Morning started off with 3/5 Foley's. Kimberly and Nathan came home from their mom's house after lunch time. So, we did Kali's basket and then got ready for church. We didn't stay at church for very long because Kali was up super early and didn't eat much for breakfast... and well that's not a good equation for a happy baby in our house! Enjoy the pictures of our busy Easter day!!

A new Dora book was the first item Kali came to in her Easter basket. She LOVES Dora more than you could imagine!

A new Pooh toothbrush made her day! She kept saying "Teeth!! Teeth!!" We went and brushed her teeth very soon after!

Kali got Disney character socks in her basket and was sooooo excited. She kept showing them to me and laughing and then wanted to wear them... all at the same time!! I think that she liked them!

Kali in the car on the way home from church. It was cold outside and she doesn't like tights so I pulled her white socks up.

Look at how snug her dress is!! Mean mommy!!! I guess I didn't take into account the "Foley Belly" when reading the sizing chart!! Always go up a size when it cinches around the belly!! :-)

Papa Coldwell took over egg hunting helper title so Mommy could take some pictures. I'm still not sure who was having more fun! Kali still won't walk in the grass without holding hands so he went to every single egg with her. It was super cute!!

LOOK!! Another egg!!

Kimberly jumped in and helped hunt for eggs too! Kali figured out that Kimberly had insider info since she hid the eggs!!

This is all that we saw of Kaelyn after she saw all of the eggs in the grass! Kimberly was our official bunny for the day. I think that there were more that 50 eggs and only 2 1/2 kids to hunt for them!! :-)

Little Joseph even got in on the egg hunt!

Kali was soooo excited to show Daddy all of the eggs that she collected!

All of the Foley Minis! It was a chilly windy Easter but I think you can tell by their faces that it was a lot of fun! Other people that came to easter were Grandma and Papa Coldwell, Nana and Papa Foley, Uncle Chuck and Auntie Amanda and Rebecca, Aunt Traci and Cousin Jared, and Uncle Ray and Aunt Tisha with Kaelyn and Joseph.

Easter EGGstravaganza!!

Today we colored eggs and it was sooooo fun!! Kimberly and Nathan took their time and chose their colors very carefully.... Kali on the other hand was all about smashing the shells!!!

Look at my egg Daddy!!!
Kimberly was very carefully writing on her egg with the magic crayon....

Kim Rox... or so I think it says!?

Kali didn't pay much attention to the colors. She really liked the eggs with the shrinkies on them. Can you see her shirt... it's covered in orange juice!! She likes to take the slices of oranges and squeeze them as hard as she can. I figured she didn't need to change if she was gonna color eggs. Also... isn't her night gown cute?? It's a girls medium undershirt that shrank in the dryer! super cute huh?

A good close up of Kali peeling off the shell. Thank goodness that she didn't try to EAT the shells. Rather she threw them on the floor for Coco... or so she said!! :-)

The aftermath!

Nathan uses drama in just about everything he does... goofball!!

His eggs turned out pretty good though!

At the end Kimberly took some of every color and mixed it all up! I don't have any pictures of that... Nathan described that egg as something that might have come out of a dinosaur!! Use your imagination!!

I think that Miss Kali really enjoyed coloring eggs!! Maybe next year she'll actually use the color and not take off the peels??

Let the games begin!!

I don't have any pictures for this posting because it was too cold to get little Kali out. Today Kimberly and Nathan finally played their first game. Last week's game was cancelled due to poor field conditions. Yesterday's game was cancelled due to cold weather. Today it was super chilly but play on they did!! Mike said it was a wonderful game. They won 5 to 0 and seemed wiped out when they got home. I tried to at least get pictures of them crashed on the couches after their game but I got a lot of whining that they didn't want their pictures taken. Anyhow, let's hope that this is the last of the icky weather because I would like to go to some games and have action shots to show of the kids and their rockin' soccer skills!!

Shhhhh... Daddy is sleeping!!

We got a movie the other night, Beowulf, and Mike wasn't impressed that it was live action that looked like cartoon. Long story short he made better use of his time and took a two hour nap on the couch!! He told me that I better not post the picture on the blog... OOPS!! About 90 minutes into his little nap Kali went right up to Mike and grabbed his nose and said... Hi Daddy!! Too bat the batteries in my camera were dead, would have made for a cute picture! :-)

Lovin the nice weather!

The weather was so nice last week that Kali and I went to the park to play. Last year she wasn't old enough to appreciate the fun stuff... as you will see she has gotten over that!

Kali loves her horsey at home and the horsey at the park!! She was rocking on it so fast that I thought for sure she would hit her head. Luckily we were good to go!!

Here she is climbing up to the slide...

Now almost to the middle platform...

This next run of pictures is showing how obsessed Kali was with the slide!! She enjoyed going down the slide but then kept trying to go up the slide. Half the time she wanted to hold my hand and then she'd try to take off! It was super cute!

I finally broke free of her hand but you can see here that Kali is still reaching out for me!
