Lance is 5!!!

Lance had been counting down the months, weeks and days till his birthday! I was secretly dreading it! When did my little boy turn into a big boy. It has happened way too fast!

To be honest as a teenager I never wanted kids. I wanted tons of animals lol. I remember times I would have arguments and they would end with me saying these words "I'm never having kids!" Haha. 

.........but when I had Lance that all changed. I had become a mom! Everything I had ever wanted changed and now all I ever want it for my kids to be happy and healthy. 

Lance is seriously crazy. The things he comes up with and does has me constantly saying "what are you thinking?". Lance is seriously into everything! If you open my freezer you will see prof of that. He mixed salt, pepper, food coloring, baking soda, toilet paper and water together and wanted to see what it would look like frozen. Well, it spilled in the freezer and now my freezer is stained a blueish purple color. This is the kind of crazy things my boy does. 

Lance is not afraid of ANYTHING!! He is truest fearless which scares the heck out of me. 

He loves to try and make new inventions. He glues, staples, and ties things together constantly. This little boy can tie some serious knots! 

Lance loves to help with everything. He can watch you do something for just a bit and then do the exact same thing. He can figure out anything! 

He is the best big brother! He can be pretty awnry with Lexie at times but no one else is aloud to mess with her. He helps Lexie whenever she needs and sometimes doesn't need. I love listening in on their conversations. They are too funny. I am so glad God gave us these two so close in age. Yes, it was a huge struggle at first but they are the best of friends and love each other so much.

I can not believe my little 7 pound 3 ounce baby has grown into a 47 pound 5 year old!! This does not seem possible! 

Lance, my prayer for you is that you always keep exploring and learning. I pray you never lose the curiosity to know why everything works and to create your own inventions. I pray for your future. I don't pray for success or money. I just pray you are truly happy and healthy. Most of all, I pray that one day you will come to have a personal relationship with Christ and know true happiness that is only found in Him!
