Ryan's Birthday

Ryan is turning 10! He wanted to arrange the candles in the shape of a one and a zero.  He used eighteen candles and Blake and Britta gave him such a hard time about that.  Oh well, we'll see if he can blow them all out!
Grandma and Grandpa Collins sent a card with $20.  Ryan has been waiting and waiting to open it ever since it arrived!  No thoughts yet on what he wants to buy, saving is always a good option.
Ryan has been wanting a fishing pole. Not quite sure why--we are not a fishing family, but I suppose we will have to give it a try now that he has this nifty equipment complete with tackle box.
Ryan has always been a Rockies Fan, and was very excited to get a new Rockies shirt.

Ryan asked for a telescope for his birthday. I didn't know he was interested in astromony, maybe the whole family will learn something. A couple of months ago, the Cub Scouts spent a night studying the stars and looking at the constellations.  I wonder if that sparked his interest.
Ryan takes a peek. After Delwyn got it set up, we went out on the porch and tried it out.  We saw a few stars and the moon. Exciting! It will be fun to use it this summer when the weather is nice and warm. Happy Birthday Ryan!! You add so much to our family, and we are blessed because of you!
