Yippee-Ki-Yay it is Berkeley's Birthday!

Here is the invitation I created for the birthday boy.   I had to put little boxes over my address and email to protect me from the creepers out there.


Yee-Haw....Berkeley's friends mosied on down to the Aldridge Ranch for a rip-roarin' birthday bonanza.

The horses had been rounded up into the corral

The Welcome Wagon had been set out

hats and bandannas awaited their new owners

games were ready

and the treats were waiting

 Berkeley's friends starting arriving and putting on their cowboy garb

Berkeley and his gang waiting for the rest of the gang to mosey on down

Happy Outlaw Berkeley

don't mess with Gunslinger Berkeley

Don't mess with Jake the Kid

Beware of Cow Stealing Carlie

Stay away from Claim Jumping Matthew

Don't mess with Switchback Spencer

Terrifying Jacob is on the loose!

Watch out of Round 'em Up Nathan

For some reason I did not get a wanted poster picture of Samantha and Josie....I am LAME.
