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!

Armed and ready! Going to the library Nerf gun fight!

Singing in the middle school choir show!

Hanging out on the ottoman with Wiggins!

surfing the web with Mama!

The sign I made for Ledger to wake up to on Easter. A bunch of eggs filled with candy. Now that's the right way to wake up!

Mini Clay Art

Diana was laser focused on her cute creations.

She actually followed the included instructions and made some of the designs on the box.

Ledger decided to make a milkshake, poop, and an imposter.

I went with a penny sized version of Nibble Bob!

Oh, and I made a figure of our scruffy little dog Wiggins!

Cabin Time! 2

Aaron is itching to go get some dinner!

Aaron is not too impressed with the restaurant choice...

Neither is Dusty...

Jon is too busy telling us about his crazy life to even notice the restaurant!

Putting on our happy faces!

Game time!

Cabin Time! 1

The meeting of the minds in Aaron's driveway.

Lunch at Ruby Tuesdays. I really love their salad bar!

Rocking out on the two track path back to the cabin!

Jon and I in the back, eagerly awaiting our destination.

A quick stop for firewood. Now we are all set for the night!

South Bend Christmas

Me, the pup, and all the presents!

Tavish tearing open his gifts!

Barbara is always the gift elf, handing out the presents one by one.

The boys spent the morning playing each other in different tablet games.

The whole family gathered around for a big delicious Christmas meal!

Night Before Christmas 2

Diana was pleased with her gifts as well! Here she is opening up her new pair of wireless earbuds. Wiggins isn't very impressed.

Laying on his new mattress. Yeah, it doesn't look very comfortable right out of the box...

One of the things Ledger got was a bowling game. It's pretty cool- instead of a bowling ball, it has an air hockey like puck that glides down the hall and bounces off the walls to hit all the pins! We got a lot of laughs out of this one!

There we go, now the mattress is starting to feel a little more comfy...

The new bed, all set up! He was pumped to have so much space in bed now!

Night Before Christmas 1

The tree looked great and was filled up with presents!

We baked some Christmas cookies before we started. They were a delicious treat in the middle of all the gift giving, and they make the house smell so good!
