Happy Birthday Courtney!

Happy
15th
Birthday
Courtney!!

I can't believe I have a 15 year old!! In one year she'll be old enough to get her learner's permit and learn to drive OUR cars!! Scary Crazy. The boys are going to spend the weekend at GG's house in Olean, So Courtney can have her birthday party, with 9, yes 9 teenager girls spending the night at our house. We thought it would be MUCH better if they weren't around for the festivities :-) Thankfully we have a large family room, and won't have to be surrounded by the girls all night long!

Here's a few quick Courtney Stats:
