Five Year Landscaping

After putting the plastic edging in.

Oh, it looks so nice with the mulch, huh?

From the other side. You can see the big deck and the other landscape edging I did (years) earlier.

Oh yeah, that looks amazing!

His First Con

We measured out the words we needed to put on his shirt and got cloth markers so we could make it look like the character.

All dressed up as his favorite Regretevator character!

Wondering around the convention center, taking it all in!

He loved the whole experience, especially getting recognized!

Enjoying some of the convention food. I had a chili dog and he had a hot pretzel.

Chicken Jockey

Hanging out with the boys as they play video games together.

All five of them were so pumped and excited to have a fun night together!

Turning the Big One Three 2

Gathered up in the living room for present time!

Opening his gifts.

Taking a break from the gift opening to have a good ol' fashioned pillow fight!

Opening another birthday gift.

The boys erupted in excitement over the last gift Ledger opened, which was...

A 12 inch 'Steve' figure from Minecraft! These boys have made it their personalities for the past several weeks to quote the Minecraft commercial and were blown away that a 12 in Jack Black figure even existed! I think the gift was a success!

Turning the Big One Three 1

The boys hanging out in Ledger's room playing games and laughing!

Gathered around the table, chowing down some delicious pizza!

A delicious birthday cake for the birthday boy!

Filling up what little space they had left in their bellies with cake and frosting!

Random Ledge 117

Going to see Dog Man! He's loved this book series for many years, so we are both pumped to finally see a movie!

A social studies assignment where the students had to illustrate different types of government. The teacher told us that they were so impressed with Ledger's drawing, he will be using it in future years as an example in class!
