Happy 4th Birthday, Parker!

Happy FOURTH Birthday, Parker Lane! 

It is hard to believe that four years ago we were blessed with you! The moments have flown by and I really believe that each day with you is more special than the last. You have grown up so much over the last year. You have grown into a boy. There is no longer anything little or toddler about you. You have grown into your head ;), you have lost your chubby round face, you are long and skinny like a little boy should be. You are smart... you have the sharpest memory and you continue to speak like a grown man. You are very independent and I love that (most of the time) about you. You are an amazing big brother to Colton. You both adore each other and are the best of friends. I love watching you interact with him; sharing, teaching, playing. You absolutely inherited the 'hunting gene' and would rather be outside exploring, hunting, camping, playing more than anything else. You are so wise. You are growing each day in your love and understating of our Creator. You are a beautiful child of God and we are so blessed to be your parents. We pray that you continue to grow in health and happiness over the next year. We pray that your heart continues to grow for the Lord. I can't even begin to imagine what the next year might bring with you! We love you forever! Mommy and Daddy

Colton at 20 months! :)

And an object of mass destruction! ;) 

Anywhere Colton is, you will be smiling. He is the cutest toddler i've ever been around. He has a look in his eye that means mischievous. He will climb, throw, jump, run and tumble into fun and destruction anywhere he goes! He is 100% in love with his big brother and looks just like his daddy. Colton is super affectionate and loves to hug and kiss on his mommy. He has grown so much in the last month. He is turning into a babbling boy, trying to exert independence and learning new things every day. 

I love my gig as a stay at home mommy and wife to Chad. I feel so blessed that God has us right where we are supposed to be. Planting seeds of His love.
