LEXI'S LUAU!

The birthday girl was getting a picture with her

cake nicole made her and decided to take a sneak peek of it...

The cute birthday girl in her hawaiian get up for "lexi's luau"

Some of the decorations, we might have

gone a little overboard.

some more of the decorations

She also decided to take a sneak peek of her presents
when no one was watching. i look over after she has
started ripping them out of bags, and nicole is just
laughing and taking pictures, and said lexi was
sure to look around and make sure no one was
watching before she would grab it outon to the next present..

and she got caught

lexi trying to blow out the candles on her cake,

dont feel bad ashley lexi grabbed the candle too. but

the pain was phased out by the excitement of the cake.

after the first bites she kept saying "mmmm"

she was done with trying to do the dainty hand scoops..

onto the shovel!

And then the next idea hit her... transfer everything to

the bucket. thats what she does when we are weeding

outside, i pull weeds and put them in my trash bucket, and

she pulls them back out and puts them in her own bucket.

that rule must apply to all things even birthday cake.

you want some?

Daddy will have some with me

hmmm...

Sharing with dad

Nicole thought all her hard work wasn't paying off, since

she wasn't messy all over, and after all that was the

point of doing chocolate, so nicole got to work... it looks

like lexi is thinking "oh boy is mom going to kill you" in this

picture, but then it shifted to thinking its pretty funny

Lexi and maddi testing out the presents after each

one was opened. this time they were working

on the new crayons.

And opening one of lexi's two teasets. they

must know her really well because every present

was a hit with lexi, and the teaset which she really

started loving this last week she even got two of :)

And her very own VROOM VROOM!

WOO HOO!!! she was so thrilled with herself, and

figured out the gas button right away and was on her way!

she even got yellow to match ours.

just digging around! it was so amazing lexi was playing

with everyone else, and didn't need me or cody there!

i couldn't have been more happy!

She loved playing with nicole, and once we had a good

thing going we weren't going to risk ending it and it not

coming back, so poor nicole was stuck with her for a while!

And maddi really wanted to ride around on the

4 wheeler too, so they doubled up

And lexi is still loving her baby stroller from nana and bumpa.

Lexi and grandpa, with a kool-aid smile

And she really liked raymond yesterday too! can you believe

it!? couldn't have been better! woo hoo! they'll be seeing a lot

more of her now haha, we want this good thing to keep going!

riding the big vroom. it was cute when i went out

to take the pictures lexi just leaned back into

ray and cuddled in.
