Happy 5th Birthday My Blue Eyed Boy!

While I may be his mother, Porter is definitely raising me!  His mind and memory astound me and his love and understanding of the Gospel are far beyond his years.   Family prayer, meal prayers and FHE cannot be missed (even if he has to say them quietly to himself).   He is so grown up that sometimes I forget that he is only 5 and expect a little too much from him.  His self confidence is incredible (something I lacked most of my life) and he truly believes he is incredible.  I hope with all my heart that he never loses his self confidence.  I have loved volunteering in his Preschool and watching him interact with his friends and teachers.  His two favorite people in the whole world are Daddy and Papa Carl and if he could choose, he would spend every waking moment with both of them.  This little boy has my heart and although at times he can be a handful, his sweetness melts me and I would love nothing more than to snuggle his scrawny little body all day long.  

FAVORITES:

Song: Praise to the Man and Latter Day Prophets

Color: Green (blue is a close second)

TV Show:  

Food:  According to him, Chicken Fingers and Salmon, according to me, Mac and Cheese and Peanut Butter Sandwiches  (although is palette is finally expanding)

Book: The Book of Mormon (according to him)  We just finished reading Harry Potter, which although may have been a bit advanced was completely thrilling to him

He loves Playmobile, Legos and Superheros and a new found favorite The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The traditional breakfast in bed (in mom's bed because a bunk bed is entirely too hard for those types of things)

We celebrated his birthday Pirate Style and invited far too many children to count!

They walked the plank, launched cannon balls, at Pizza and watched "Pirates-Band of Misfits".

A few of the many LeBaron cousins (remember how I said too many children to count, these were just the family members invited, this doesn't include all the friends, yikes!)

It wouldn't be a party if Jack doesn't crash!
