Ryder's 10th Birthday

It is unbelievable to me that Ryder is 10!!!  He has become such a responsible young man.  He just graduated the 4th grade.  Has been working very hard with his horse to get her show-ready and has been to two shows already this season (pictures coming soon!).  He wanted a "reining" horse cake, and this is what we came up with...

(the fencing is edible chocolate!)

 Trick candles!!!

 Can you tell they're related!? (Chases' mom Sheri)

Ryders' papa Chuck (Chases' dad) & his new wife Karen

We had a simple party at home with family as Ryders' birthday usually marks our first camping trip of the year (his choice), and this year is no exception.  We are headed out this weekend with family, friends & horses too!!!
