Sleep over with cousin Kaelyn!

Kaelyn has started sleeping over at our house every once in a while and it's a lot of fun... they get so hyper and fired up and then... all of a sudden... they crash!

Ever since Kaelyn noticed we have a big tub she's been begging to take a swimming bath! Well, she got her wish! Here is Kaelyn and Kali splashing around in the whirlpool tub.

They LOVED IT!!
Time to brush your teeth...

Cheesing it up after brushing teeth!

AAANNNNDDDD this is what they did in the morning!! :-)

Deanna Rose Farmstead

Deanna Rose Farmstead has become a great and free day trip with the weather is nice!! Here are some great pictures of one of our many trips to the farm!

Mike's cousin Sarah and her boys Bryce (the little guy), and Beau came up from Nailer, Mo and were excited to see what the farm was all about!

Kali is obsessed with the goats!!

Awww Mommy... a Baby Cow!!

Kimberly is trying to compose herself... the cow was trying to eat her shirt!

The goats fight to get the bottles!

Mrs Hoppy the Frog!

Kali woke up from her nap the other day to find that I had caught her a little frog and put it in a container with holes in it. She was so excited about it that we went out back to see if we could find some more. She was soooo funny! Enjoy the pictures and videos just as I enjoyed capturing them!

LOOK Mommy!! Mrs Frog!

Oops... he jumped out of her hand and on to her leg!!

She is waiting to patiently for the little frog!

Here she is trying to catch her little friend!

Summer fun!

This is our second year planting a garden. Since these pictures were taken everything has come up and is looking good! We currently have 5 different types of pumpkins in the ground, green beans, onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapenos, watermelon, cantaloupe, and cucumbers! YUMMY!!

Heading out to the garden to see if she can "help" in any way!! :-)

Planting green beans!! Yummy! Kimberly and Nathan love the beans more than anything else that comes from our garden...they love to help!

A little water helps the seeds grow!

Still lovin' the mower with her daddy!!

There is always time for sidewalk chalk!!

Kali sees Daddy sweep after he mows. She wanted to help!

Mean yes I know to take this picture... even more mean that I'm posting it... but how cute is this? Sometimes when we're putting on PJs Kali likes to run away "nakey"!!

Trip to Deanna Rose Farmstead

Kali and I tagged along when Libby's preschool went to Deanna Rose Farmstead. It was so much fun and a perfect day for all of the animals to be out. Can't wait to go again!

First time Kali has ever seen a live bunny in person. She kept calling Libby over to see.

Kali and Landon were obsessed with the baby animals... here is a baby goat that was kept away from the big ones in the petty area. They were giggling!

You can feed bottles to the baby goats!

Gotta be careful though... they get crazy and crowd anyone

with a bottle! Big boy in on a big swing!!

Little Friends

Disney On Ice

Ashley and I took the kids to Disney on Ice April 4th. They had so much fun!! The show consisted of Mickey and the gang, Lion King, Lilo and Stitch, Peter Pan, and The Little Mermaid! Pictures of the show didn't turn out very well so here are a couple of cute pics from intermission.

Spidey Girl!!

Kali has a new found obsession with Spiderman!! Sooooo, for Easter she got a pair of Spidey jammies. She LOVES THEM! Here she is enjoying a carpet picnic for breakfast!

Old Pictures From EASTER!! Super Cute!!

A week before Easter my friend Ashley called and asked if we were going to the Raymore Easter Egg Hunt... my answer was well we are now! We rushed around and got there just in time! Kali was able to meet up with her friends Libby and Landon, and Maci and Sadie. What a fun morning!!

Kali found a really big egg and insisted I bring it home... it was purely for decoration.

Here are Kali, Libby, and Landon sitting on those big eggs! Maci is hiding behind Landon and Sadie refused to get into the picture!! :0)

What a HAM!! This dress is from he 2nd birthday... still fits and still cute!!

Foley Outing!

Mike's cousin Kristie got married Easter weekend... so that means the Foley's had an outing!! We all were dressed up and had a good time. Congrats Kristie and Tiant... welcome to the family!

She was worn out from all of the dancing.
A little out of order but Kali and I went outside before everyone else was ready to leave. She strapped herself into the front seat and said OKAY LETS GO!! Funny girl!

Kim and Nate being silly!

Kali and Kaelyn dancing... they were so cute and everyone got up to watch them. So cute!

Uncle Ray and Joseph

These two goofballs kept getting running to the door trying to bust out!!

Kali loves it when Kimberly makes this face at her. She was pretty excited when I was able to help her make a "similar" face!

Our little people that aren't so little anymore!

Rock Chalk!!

This picture makes me proud... Papa Coldwell will take quite a liking to it as well!!

Kali is a movie-aholic these days. She has started memorizing some of the dialogue too. The lastest and greatest for her is Madagascar 2... and here is her version of the famous part with the hippos,"Who's your friend or is that your butt?"

It just doesn't sound right when I'm at the store and my two year old is saying "butt" over and over again. She thinks she is soooooo funny!!

And sooooo cute too!!

Soccer season has begun...

Well... we were supposed to knock out 2 games this week. The game in Blue Springs was cancelled as of last Tuesday due to poor field conditions from all of the rain. THEN the game on Sunday in Belton was cancelled due to standing water on the fields as of Friday. Amazingly Kimberly and Nathan were not overly upset by the idea of another free weekend! By my eyes the fields were really nice on Sunday here in Belton... I know because we spent 4 hours at the park and it is right next to the fields... and there was a group of 10 guys/teens playing a pick-up game of soccer on the same field we were supposed to be playing on. ODD huh?? So anyhow this probably means that we'll be playing on Mother's Day weekend... NEAT! :-\

Sound the horns.....

Kali finally went PEE PEE in the potty!! I caught her with a dry diaper this morning and she was very willing to sit on the potty and low and behold she successfully went pee!!! Now since then we've changed a couple of wet diapers but for now I'm happy with her being willing to sit on the potty and one successful attempt under our belt... or rather under the lid!! :-P

BIG baby!!

This is an odd picture!! Kali wanted to be held like a baby so I wrapped her up nice and tight!! Notice the binkie?? She plays with it but doesn't really suck on it... it was totally for effect! :-)

When I took this picture she was trying to squeeze out... I had her in nice and tight!!

Bunny Love!!

Aunt Traci got Kali this super cute bunny as an early Easter gift. She LOVES it!! Here she is on her Diego car... she won't put it down!! Thanks Aunt Traci... I love you!!!

Bad Driver!!

Ummmm, if she is anything like this when she's 16 Daddy gets to teach her to drive!! Yikes! Don't worry... the big car escaped with no dents and Kali did not drive into the street!

Cutie!

I took this picture today... I just love it!!

Making the rounds...

Kali gets to spend a lot of time with Nana and Papa Foley because we live in the same town as them. Every so often we made a trip up North to get some Coldwell time in!! Here are a few pics of Grandma and Papa Coldwell.

This is the goofy Papa!! :-)

She loves to crawl in bed with Grandma with a snack... grapes this time... and relax! Grandma always puts on a movies for her. She has a good time!

Grandma sure does love Kali!! Kali loves to cuddle with Grandma!!

Winter Fun!!

This has been a mild but long winter! We've been creative on keeping busy!! :-)

Indoor fishing??
Here kitty kitty... cat fish on the stairs??

Kali loves loves loves her movies! She loves movies better than TV and here she is with a copy of Cinderella. Oh yeah, and check out the super cute hat from Aunt Cherie and Uncle George.

Ahhhh... what a cute face!
