Happy Halloween and Cam as Michael Phelps

As you can see we are in the full Halloween spirit! Camden's costume is that of Michael Phelps this year! We had such a great time watching the Olympics and rooting on Phelps in his strive for 8 gold medals that we thought what a great icon for our son to emulate! We made the costume with the help of CC out of appliqued american flags, red & white stars , tanning goggles and a medal from a party favor store. We also drew a little olympic ring tattoo on his arm to complete the look. I also made a Halloween card to show Camden in his Halloween costumes and with the pumpkin patch. I thought it would be a better and more cost effective idea to email the image of the card rather than pay for the printing and postage to send out to everyone. I have to work this year on Halloween so Trey and I probably won't be dressing up. It will be the first Halloween we have missed in about 6 years. We are sort of known for our funny costumes so I am pretty sad about it! Some of our past costumes include: UPS delivery people, Teen Wolf and Boof, Napoleon Dynamite (Deb & Pedro), Deal or No Deal, and the Publisher Clearinghouse prize patrol (complete with giant check, my sister as the redneck lady who answers the door in her mumu and Trey as Ed MacMahon). I will have to post some pictures of these if I can find them for some laughs! Hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween! Please continue to pray for my Granny as she goes through her cancer treatment, she is starting to lose quite a bit of weight and her health is declining.

At the punkin patch!

Camden supporting his Mississippi State Bulldogs!
We have been very busy the past couple of weeks. We have had a couple of weddings, a rodeo, work, get togethers with friends etc. Camden got to go to his first rodeo a few weeks ago at the DeSoto Civic center. He wore his cute little snap button shirts and his new cowboy hat! Grandma Joan sent in a picture of him to the newspaper and the caption ready "Howdy: Joan Lunsford sent in a picture of her grandson, Camden Reed Lunsford enjoying his first rodeo in Southaven" It was pretty cool! Camden is very busy these days. He loves to play with toys and reach for things. He likes to eat both of his hands. I think he may be getting ready to cut some teeth! He likes to play in his exersaucer and squeal when we smile and talk to him. He also loves laying on his entertainment mat and reach up at the blinking lights and toys hanging down. He has started rolling over, but mainly will do pinwheels on the floor. I will lay him one way and when I come back in the room he will be facing the opposite direction! He is growing up so fast! He is now four months old and wearing 3-6 months, but inching closer to the 6 month end of clothes. He is wearing hand me downs of Walkers that Walker wore when he was 2 months older than Cam. We went to the pumpkin patch by our house and all picked out pumpkins, so we had a daddy, mommy, Wrigley and baby pumpkin for our front porch. We are getting our flower beds winterized at the moment with pansies, mums and cabbages so I will upload pics of that when I get done. Other than that we are just staying busy with work and taking care of the family! On a side note, please pray for my Granny Cresswell. She was recently diagnosed with kidney and bone cancer. She is currently getting treatments every Friday in Greenwood, MS. She seems to be doing pretty good, but it makes her not want to eat so she has been losing some weight. She is 85, so it is bound to take it's toll on her but she is a 40+ year breast cancer survivor so we know she is a fighter. We just pray that she stays healthy and feels ok so that we can enjoy a couple more years with her! I hopw all is well with everyone, we hope to see you all very soon!
