Before we jump into the party pics, I want to first say how excited I am for this weekend. Not for my birthday...but for the Susan G. Komen race. It's a celebration of life and we are all so thankful that Mom is healthy and feeling great. Melisa-Beth and I have raised over $2,000 for the cause this year and just hope that this brings hope to many families out there praying for a cure. When I look back on the past four years, I am thankful for how close my family has grown and how strong my faith has become. I can't say I'm thankful for the cancer, but I'm thankful for the gifts that have come from it. My Mom continues to help others that are struggling with cancer and I just know they appreciate her sweet heart so much. Love you Mom!
So, my baby turned 8 months on the 9th and this saddens me greatly! When I hold him he just seems SO big and I can't help but wish for him to stop growing. He is wearing 12-18 month clothes and weighs 21 pounds. I am proud of every roll and every dimple in his cheeks! He is a healthy growing boy and tall like his Daddy. :) He is crawling everywhere and trying SO hard to pull up on everything. He's bumped his head a couple times on different things, because he is a wild man! I get out the frozen peas and he just wants to eat them. :) hehe
Enjoy the pics of his party! It was themed around him crawling and it being October....so everything was creepy and crawly!

| Hehe...I love creating games that everyone has to play!! The person that got the most creepy crawlers out of the stew won! Mom won! |
