4 wheeler

Cody and Steve found a pair of 4wheelers for us to
get, and lucky for cody it was on my birthday when
they were going to pick them up, so it was like
i was getting extra spoiled on for my birthday haha.
Well Jodi and I thought that it would only take maybe an
hour to pick them up and then we could go for a ride so
we went along, little did we know that "playing hard to
get" can take HOURS.. and it was a very warm day outside.
poor jodi had to deal with maddi and halli outside the whole
time. but it was still a way fun day just hanging out.
We went to firehouse pizza for lunch...
WHILE playing hard to get, just to really get the
place worried we wouldn't buy them or something..
who really knows. but it was so yummy, lexi LOVED
her olives they gave her, she polished them off and kept
looking for more, this is her cuddling her olive container.

riding the "vroom vrooms"


Lexi and Madi on the pink 4 wheeler. Honestly
lexi probably couldn't have picked a better way to
spend the day. she LOVE LOVE LOVES her vroom vroom.
she would hang out on it all day if she could.

Deal or No Deal Easter Style

we had everyone over for the the winn's easter/april
birthdays today and it was so much fun! jodi and steve
did the easter egg hunt and told everyone that we
each got six eggs. you think that would be easy math
right? once everyone has six we were done. but simple
math clearly wasn't our strong suit, it took a while to
count up all the eggs and see if we had the right amount.
We were about ready to lay them all out in a row so we
could have a visual to count out. BUT WE GOT IT
WOO HOO!
They put a twist to easter though.. one of the eggs had
a golden coin in it, and whoever found that egg got
to be the contestant in DEAL OR NO DEAL! and believe it
or not CODY WON and got to play! woo hoo!
This is the cute briefcase girl (or in our case egg girl!)




...and her helper lexi!




and here's the banker! which totally fit
since steve is known to be the negotiator!


steve and jodi put up $100
for it, and he ended up with $50. i think we were on the
better end of the deal, but it was so much fun!! and
pretty intense, i can only imagine what it would be like
on the show going for 1 million haha! but thanks steve
and jodi it was way fun
(the $100's are just for a more dramatic effect,
luckily steve just carries those around with him!)


Lexi loves her new easter basket! she wouldn't

let go of it the whole time we were outside and

once we got inside she just sat and played with her eggs




Halli is such a happy baby! it is so much fun to
watch her giggle! you can see in here she's got
a big grin behind her binkie while she just
hangs out with grandma reminding cody the whole game
that the "$100 is still there, no deal!" :)
it was pretty funny cody got down to the last 2
eggs and it was 10 cents or 100 bucks!


Lexi just playing with her easter eggs!
and it ended with the boys shooting the bow

easter pictures

while cody was gone to island park for work
we went to go get lexi's pictures taken for
his easter basket. needless to say it didn't
go so well... from the whole thing these were
our only pictures, and one of them shows
what she was really like most of the time.
in her defense, the next day is when she
started throwing up so she probably didn't
feel great this day either!


what a face...

Easter and More

our very own little easter bunny! of course
she wouldn't hold still long enough to get a
good picture

yup, the easter bunny hid my basket on top of the
basketball stand...what did i do to deserve
that?


Easter Bunny was much nicer to cody,
it even told him "hot or cold" to help
find the basket!




that takes confidence to walk around like that.
He is missing his "i only date boys that recycle"
tshirt though, so the ensemble is quite complete

The Easter Bunny was really mad at Tess and Kay..
they had to scale a pine tree to get theres

Lexi finding her baby in her basket!

The cute nielsens

"Holy crap Dad i cant breath!"
at least lexi will go to brew!!!

hahaha ashley i promise we weren't on
drugs... i dont know why lexi's eyes look
like that, but it is so funny!

usually andy isn't one of lexi's biggest fans,
since she disturbs all his toys all the time...
but for some reason on saturday andy really
wanted to play with lexi all day, and then come
have a sleepover, so we worked on ash until
she caved! and it was so much fun! Lexi
was so thrilled!

Lexi's first easter egg dying experience


Bumpa and Cole are always buddies!
And me and andy had lots of fun dying.. however
he didn't wanna get his hands in the "bad water"
so he just threw out the commands and i dipped

The Robison girls hard at work
This must have been before cole drank the
cup of dye.. wasn't exactly what he was
expecting poor boy
Lexi and her friend Kyson


She is in a really wierd phase right now. she doesn't
really fall asleep with a bottle anymore, we just
look over and she is zonked. She loves those
red pillows, she just lays her head on them and
it doesn't come back up.

GaMeS

Andy came and played with us for
a little bit yesterday and of course Lexi
was thrilled... not too sure about andy.
It started out good since we were watching
transformers, and then lexi found the buttons
on the side of the t.v. that kept switching it on us.
so Andy stood gaurd of the buttons. Turned
out to be a pretty good battle. Lexi wasn't
responding to "the force" being put on her
though, which wasreally frustrating to andy.


lexi's new entertainment... emptying the bag out,
filling it up and starting over!

She played hard at jackson's blessing and zonked
out on the way home.



The New and Improved boogie. I'm having a hard
time getting it on camera because as soon as
she see's me holding the camera she gets distracted..
but this kind of gives you the idea. she sticks her arms
out as wide as she can and shakes her head side to side
and her whole body goes with her, we can figure out
why she doesn't end up falling over everytime.


Andy wanted to play a game while he was here

and chose twister, i kept warning him that he would

be really annoyed trying to play it because lexi

would want to help and she would climb all over the

mat, but he wanted to anyways... after a few minutes

of him unsuccessfully keeping the mat straight thanks

to lexi he started pulling her around on the mat.. then decided

he wanted a ride too so they went together! Lexi was so

thrilled to have a friend there to play with, she loves

being around little kids.
