Life story

Colton was a FREE SPIRIT!! He loved so deeply, he was THE funniest person on the face of the Earth. When he loved, he loved with his ALL! Colton has TWO beautiful daughters Haven Leighann who is 5, and Koltlynn Alyse who is 4. They are his minis and they remind everyone of him everysingle day! Haven Leighann, is a sweet girl, she has the biggest imagination, and she loves so hard like her daddy does. Koltlynn Alyse, WHEWWWW that child "Boss Baby" she is one of a kind! She is THE BOSS in the Northrup household lol. She loves her Papa so much, and lets just say, he is spoiling this one rotten to the core. Colton also has 1 nephew and 1 niece. Olen Reid Moran, he is 4. That boy reminds me (Cortney) so much of my little brother. He is a FREE SPIRIT just like his Uncle Otis, he loves BIG and is as country to the core! Atley James Moran, she is 8 months. She was sent to me by surprise! I want to say she was my little gift from my brother! He knew my heart needed a little more healing and a little more something to keep me on my toes. She is THE best baby, she never cries, she is always smiling and she is just a breath of fresh air. She even has one dimple. Colton has 3 siblings, Cortney Leanne, Skylar Luke, and Jaylen Danielle, needless to say Colton was the "middle" child.
