HAPPY BIRTHDAY COURTNEY!!!!







Jessica and I made Courtney a Strawberry Cake for her birthday.
It was yummy!!!!
As a tradition, we go out to eat as a family on the kids birthday's. Their choice. Afterwards we came to our house to eat cake.

A SHOUT OUT TO COURTNEY TODAY!!!!!
Today is Courtney's 22nd Birthday!!!!
She was born on Memorial Day 22 years ago.
She's twinners with Marshall Hamblin.
(We were neighbor's w/ the Hamblins,
we ended up at the same hospital, same Doctor, same nurse.
Lori and I are both competitive and we were racing
to see who would have their baby first.
She won by an hourish.) Happy Birthday Marshall!

Courtney's Smile!!! At a young age, Courtney had her "camera smile" down. She's always happy and smiling. She is holding a puppy at her great grandma's house. She was naturally gentle and nurturing. She was always such a good "big" sister to her younger siblings.

Courtney's 1st Grade Picture. Courtney always seemed so grown up. She had a perm in 1st grade. She always looked so feminine and pretty. (It has always been fun to dress her up because she liked the girly stuff)

Like I said before, Courtney being the oldest was always a big help to me with her younger brother and sisters. She is a great "big" sister!!!! Each time I had a new baby, Kenny would take the other kids to the zoo. I was home w/ baby Tyler.


Courtney loves to play the piano. She was a dream child. I never had to ask or remind her to practice the piano. She just did it. She blesses many peoples lives w/ her talents.


Courtney had a very rough senior year. Her boyfriend died of cancer in Feb. of her senior year. What a GREAT example she was to all of us. She was so courageous! She faced her challenge straight on and never felt sorry for herself in any way. She endured faithfully.


She has always known what she wants. She met Jason and knew right away that he was who she wanted to marry. (Great choice) They are a wonderful couple who have their priorities straight. They are a cute little family!!!
She is a wonderful wife, mother and especially a wonderful daughter.
Thanks Courtney! I love you,
Mom

Happy Birthday to a MOST BEAUTIFUL young woman, you are as pretty on the inside as the outside. Hope you had a great day, the picture of you blowing out your candles, your little guy looks bored out of his mind. Such a cute photo.
