Colter turned 15 this year! 

Colter is very patriotic and is a little bit jealous that his sister, Jade, was born on the 4th of July instead of him. 

I told him that it was his fault for taking so long.  I thought he was going to be born on the 4th too (after all, my labor started on the 3rd – yikes!!!), but he decided to wait until early morning on the 5th, so he has no one to blame but himself. LOL

But he had a good birthday.  Even if it was on the 5th!

Colter is ridiculously a little bit pleased with being the tallest person in the family and likes to make sure that nobody forgets it!

My favorite photo (he’s still not too old to hug is Mama):

He’s still not as tall as Gumpy and Poppy, though:

Since Jade got a small basketball net for her birthday, she got to present Colter his present…

… a full sized basketball net!

Happy Birthday, Colter!  You’ve become quite the young man!!
