Happy Birthday Courtney

We are so glad to have COURTNEY in our family. We waited for 5 years after Chelsea was born for her. When we went to the doctor for my check up, the doctor said, "how about we have a baby today." I was 2 weeks early and so I said I guess. He told us to go to the hospital and check in, so I went to Walmart to walk around and cry! (I had never been induced before and Chelsea's birthday was in 2 weeks) We got to the hospital about 5pm, and COURTNEY was born at 1 am. I wanted to name her "Bridget" and Hal didn't really like that name for her after he saw her. I said well then COURTNEY, and he said, "I like it."

So COURTNEY JANAE it was!


COURTNEY was a happy baby, and a
sweet little toddler.


COURTNEY has gotten the best or at lest

the most creative homemade birthday cakes...

a dora cake, a little mermaid cake,

strawberry shortcake--twice,
hannah montana cake.


COURTNEY is very sweet, and
says funny things...most recently she said
this when she lost a tooth..."I feel like
one of my family members is missing."

COURTNEY is a great big sister.

She loves to SKI, play with FRIENDS,

BAKE in the kitchen, SING SONGS,

DANCE, play GAMES on the computer and Wii.

COURTNEY loves PRIMARY & Family Home Evening!

She hasn't decided if she likes to hunt yet.(poor dad)

One of my favorite things about

COURTNEY is...everytime there

is a birthday in our family(cousins,

grandparents, you name it) COURTNEY

will go to her room pick out some

of her personal things and wrap them

for the birthday person...a special

gift just from COURTNEY!

For COURTNEY's 8th birthday we got

to go on a Disney Cruise. It was a

great vacation and we are glad we

spent 1 whole week together as a

family! A Vacation we will never forget!

COURTNEY is a special girl, and we

are glad she is part of our family!

WE love you COURTNEY...

HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY!
