The Ramsey Family

Yard work

2010-03-08T09:21:00.003-06:00

It was so nice outside yesterday! Cole went out about 9am and came in to have lunch and a nap and was right back out until dark! My mom and brother were here so he and Canan played most of the day. When Daddy got home, he asked Cole to help him clean up the flower bed in the front yard. Cole is always excited to do anything Daddy is doing so he jumped on the opportunity to pick up the dead grass and load it into his tractor trailer. It was so cute. He looked like such a big boy. Cole, being the perfectionist that he is, was picking up every single piece of grass. Once he had it cleaned up to his liking, he jumped on the tractor to dump the trailer. He never made it to the dumping part, but he had a blast.

A lot has changed...

2010-03-04T12:24:00.010-06:00

So I have finally made it around to posting a new blog. A ton has happened since June. I am almost 33 weeks pregnant with a little GIRL!! Her name is Lilli. Up until the last few weeks my pregnancy has been wonderful except for horrible morning sickness the first 16 weeks. Nothing a little Zofran can't take care of though. Ha. But, 3 weeks ago I had to be admitted to L&D for high blood pressure, 160/100 to be exact. Since then I have been put on bedrest where I will remain until Lilli is born. My blood pressure has been up and down since then. It spikes at least once a day even while on bedrest. I can feel it rising...it is a very strange feeling. Cole is taking this like a champ though. He doesn't seem too upset that I can't do much, but his Daddy has taken the reins and is doing a wonderful job playing "Mr. Mom". I think we both appreciate each other a little more now.

As for the nursery, well....nothing is done yet. Yes, I said NOTHING is done yet. I am calmly freaking out about this, if that is possible. I have painters coming to give me estimates on painting the room tomorrow after weeks of trying to get someone out here. I WILL hire SOMEONE tomorrow! I do have the bedding and the crib (not assembled) and a few things to decorate with, but until the room is painted I cannot do anything. Obviously, I won't be doing much, but I can't assign tasks to be done until the room is painted.

On a different note, Cole is doing AWESOME with potty training. Over the last few weeks he has started to tell us when he needs to go tee tee and he went #2 in the potty for the first time yesterday! We were SOOO excited!! I sure hope he doesn't regress too much when Lilli is born.

Here are a few recent pictures...

Night at Nene's

2009-06-23T20:39:00.003-05:00

While I went to Nashville this past weekend, Cole stayed with Nene (my mom) Friday night and with his daddy on Saturday night. Cole actually slept ALL NIGHT, but was up at 6:15am Saturday. That is an hour before he normally wakes. Nene said she would take that over him not sleeping at all ANY DAY!! He used to not sleep but an hour or two when he stayed away from home, but looks like my strict schedule has gotten him out of that habit in a hurry! Thank goodness! Cole had Nene outside playing by 7am and they went to the park to swing Saturday afternoon. Here are a few pics from his trip to Nene's house...

NEW DO!

2009-06-23T19:52:00.004-05:00

Gray has been so, so HOT this summer working outside with NO shade most of the time, not many breaks, and doing manual labor as well!! He kept talking about shaving his head and finally yesterday when he came home and started talking about it again, I just told him to DO IT ALREADY! So, he took a big chunk of out his hair, to prove to me that he would of course. I was a little shocked, but I finished shaving it for him! It was FUN! And, I have to admit....I LOVE IT!!! I haven't been able to take my eyes off him!!! What a hottie! =) SO, what do you think??

Poor Cole...the 2nd pic is terrible of him...bless his heart, but daddy liked it of his head! LOL!

Peek A Boo!!

2009-05-11T10:39:00.002-05:00

Cole loves to play peek a boo while we are in the tub. We think it is so funny! He has such a HUGE personality!

BUSY DAY!!

2009-05-09T21:55:00.009-05:00

I TOOK COLE TO HAVE HIS PICTURE MADE TODAY, SO I SHOULD HAVE A FEW FROM PICTURES FROM THAT NEXT WEEK. HE WAS SO GOOD!! MY LITTLE MODEL...HAHA. HE HAS SUCH A BIG PERSONALITY! I CAN'T HELP BUT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY...HE KEEPS ME ON MY TOES AND NEVER FAILS TO MAKE ME LAUGH HYSTERICALLY EACH AND EVERY DAY!!

WELL, I ONLY HAVE A FEW MINUTES BEFORE I RUN FOR THE BED! COLE IS FINALLY ASLEEP, AND SLEEP IS EXTREMELY HARD TO COME BY THESE DAYS...SO I HAVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE! WE HAVE TAKEN COLE OFF THE BOTTLE COMPLETELY AND FORMULA AS WELL. HE IS A BIG BOY NOW!!!

HERE ARE A FEW RECENT PICS

FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT!

Happy FIRST Birthday Cole!

2009-04-19T13:04:00.006-05:00

I cannot believe that my BABY is a year old! It seems like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital! Time really does fly by SO fast! I believed everyone when they told me it would...but it goes by so much faster than I had imagined! My baby is such a Big Boy now!! He reminds me SOOO much of his daddy!! I think I have decided that I am going to have to lock him in his room when he becomes a teenager!! All of you that know Gray, totally understand why I am saying that!! HAHA!! I LOVE my two boys!!! They both keep me laughing non-stop!

I'm not sure why we didn't get more pictures of Cole's little cake...which was MILK FREE!!! Hopefully someone got a few! In case you didn't know, Cole is allergic to milk! We did not find out for sure until he was 9months old. At that time he was projectile vomiting EVERYTHING he put into his mouth! It was a horrible time! So, thanks to Dr. Rivas (Doc I work with) we were able to find a bakery that would make him a MILK FREE cake...this was no easy task! I had arrangements with a bakery here in Conway and they called me 3 days b4 the party to inform me that they could not make the cake for me!!!! 3 days before!! Really?! (I had made arrangements more than 2 weeks before that) I was so upset, so Dr. Rivas called his patient/bakery lady in MALVERN (more than an hr away) and she said she would just get online and get a recipe! She was a life saver! So, Bop and Berry had to stop and pick up the cakes on their way to Conway! Thanks Bop and Berry! And the cakes were both delicious!!

It has been a while!

2009-04-19T09:13:00.008-05:00

It has been WAY too long since I posted, but the Ramsey household has been very busy over the last few months. Between school, work, and play, there is very little time for anything extra! I will do my best to not go that long without posting again. Here are some photos from the last few months...

My First Best Friend!

2008-12-10T20:19:00.006-06:00

Cole has his very first friend...Thunder, his horsey. His Mamaw Sharon and Papaw Gerald got this for him for Christmas and when we flew out to Dallas to see them for Thanksgiving, they could not resist giving it to him! He and Thunder have very in-depth convos every day. Cole doesn't like riding him as much as he likes pulling up on him and pushing him around the room. This is Cole's mode of transportation now, besides his walker. They also gave him that and he is a PRO at that as well! But, he pushes Thunder to the Christmas tree or the coffee table so that he can get things he isn't supposed to have. Isn't that what they live for at this age? To get into anything and everything they aren't supposed to. Haha!

Here are some pictures of Cole and his buddy, Thunder...

Christmas Photo Shoot

2008-12-10T20:11:00.004-06:00

We went to Aunt G's house on Monday to take some pics. She got an awesome new camera and her tree is beautiful! We got some good shots of Cole, even though he wasn't feeling very well. You should have seen Aunt G, Aunt KK, and Mommy trying to get him to smile. I'm sure you can imagine how crazy we looked!! Haha!! Thanks Aunt G!

Late...I know!! Haha!

2008-12-10T19:39:00.005-06:00

Here are the pictures from Halloween! I know, I know...that was forever ago, but I am just now finding the time to post. Sorry about the delay.

Ok, so you can't tell Gray and I were bikers and Cole was a monkey, but it was so warm that we put him in biker gear after we got some adorable pics of him as a monkey!

For everyone that doesn't know, I called Cole "My lil Monkey" the whole time he was in my belly! My little brother, Uncie, got Cole a monkey stuffed animal when he was born, for that reason. So, I thought it only appropriate for him to be a monkey on his first halloween!

Sorry, the pics are out of order.

Teeth, Teeth, and MORE Teeth!!

2008-10-26T10:29:00.002-05:00

Our little man has been teething for what seems like FOREVER! Gray and I have been patiently waiting and wondering when we were going to see "results" from all his pain and agony. Well, we finally have evidence of teeth coming through! He has THREE, yes THREE, teeth coming through his gums on the top! No wonder he has been so cranky! These 3 teeth will make 5 total teeth now...the other 2 being on the bottom. And he is not even 7 months old yet!! We just cannot believe how fast he is growing up!

Fall Festival

2008-10-22T04:05:00.004-05:00

This past weekend we made it to the Harvestfest at Wildwood Park in Little Rock. We met Gretchan, Corey, Ramsey, John, and Berry there. We had a great time. Cole was just perfect, but he always is! :) Here are a few photos that Gretchan took with their awesome new camera!

Bouncing Baby

2008-10-12T20:43:00.004-05:00

Here is a video of Cole in his Jumperoo. He LOVES it! He used to only bounce up and down, but he has learned to bounce all over the place now. We thought it was so funny and cute! Sorry the video is a little long.

Surgery Outcome

2008-10-06T15:59:00.002-05:00

Well I had the surgery this AM and it went well. I had a laparscopy with 2 very small incisions (one was over the scar from the last surgery). They released a lot of adhesions, including one that was connecting my right ovary to the mesh that was placed in 2002 to repair a hernia. Doc believes that was the culprit for my severe pain. He also found a small area that he believes is endometriosis, so he did a biopsy to see. We will probably find out about that at my appt in 2 weeks. I am very, very sore internally, but my incisions are not really bothering me too much.
I am sure I will be feeling a lot better tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for all the support and prayers! It is great to have good friends and a great family!

Surgery moved up!

2008-10-02T10:09:00.002-05:00

Hey guys! I just wanted to let everyone know that my surgery has been moved up to this Monday, Oct 6. It is going to be at Baptist in Day Surgery @7:30am. We are planning to come home that afternoon, as long as everything goes well. My doctor did tell me that he may have to do a c-section incision and in that case I would stay the night. (at least one) So we will see....

Any prayers and thoughts are greatly appreciated! This has been a source of extreme stress for me lately so I am ready to get this done!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

2008-09-29T12:42:00.007-05:00

I am doing SO terrible when it comes to blogging! But it is not because I do not want to! We have had a ton of things going on lately and I have not had enough time to do anything extra!

Cole is now sitting up by himself, drinking from a sippy cup, eating baby food, rolling over (all directions), standing while holding onto something, squealing all the time, and talking up a storm (Baby language, that is!). He has 2 teeth on the bottom and I am expecting another to pop up any day now. He is just growing up so fast!

Mommy (Me) has been working full time and doing a RN program online. It is going well so far. I am having surgery on Oct. 21st at Baptist. I have been having a ton of pain in my right groin/inguinal area for the last couple months that seems to only be getting worse by the day. We are not sure what is causing it. I have had several tests done and nothing has come up for sure so we are going to do a diagnostic laparscopy to see. Pray for us!

Daddy has just been working as usual and spending as much time as possible with our growing little man! Gray keeps Cole in the evenings while I am at work. I do not get off until 8pm three nights a week. It is great bonding time for them! I am so thankful to have such a wonderful husband!! I love you babe!

Here are several pics that we have taken over the last month. Hopefully, I will be able to post a little more often from now on! I will try to make it more of a priority. I know that everyone wants to see how Cole is growing!

Too long!

2008-08-19T06:46:00.005-05:00

I know that it has been too long since I last blogged! There has been a whole lot going on around our house lately! I have started back to work full-time at Primecare Medical Clinic in Conway. It is where I worked before I had Cole. I am really enjoying being back at work! But since I have gone back to work, it is hard to find time to sit down and blog. Sorry!

There have been a few new changes with Cole recently. First, he has his bottom right tooth coming in. It has completely broken through the skin. The left one is on its way through too! I can't believe my baby is already getting teeth!!! Where does time go?? He is also rolling over really well from his tummy to his back. I do have a video, but I have not figured out how to put it on computer yet...I promise I will soon! What else? Well we had our 4 month check up and shots. It went well and the doctor said he is very healthy and looks like he is growing at a good rate. He weighed 15lbs even and was 25in long. He was in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height, but what does that really mean anyways? I could care less as long as he is healthy and continuously growing. He is such a mess right now...Gray and I laugh at him constantly! I am sure that he got only the best personality traits from each of us!

Also, Gray and I had our first anniversary on 8-11-08!! Can't believe that we have been married a year and been together for more than 5! Time really does seem to fly by when you are happy! I could not ask for a better husband or father! I love you so much, Gray! Forever and Always! We spent the weekend at Lake Hamilton at the condo - our favorite place on earth! Our parents kept Cole for us and we were able to get some relaxing time on the lake. Gray took me out on the boat Saturday night (in the rain) and we had champangne and ate our cake from the wedding. It was very romantic and very sweet! That was the highlight of the weekend!

Here are just some pictures we have taken over the last few weeks...

Visiting Family

2008-07-30T11:27:00.008-05:00

This past Friday Cole and I made the trip to Hope for Canan's bday party and to visit all the family! When I say all the family, I mean ALL the family...mine and Gray's!! First, we went to Bodcaw to see my grandparents (The Matherly's). From there we headed to Stamps to my Grandma Johnnie's graveside (this was Cole's first time there and my first time since the funeral in March 07). We then went to Lewisville to visit Grandpa Bill and Pam. And from there...MeMe's house to see MeMe and Berry. Once we left there we made a quick stop at my mom's office in Hope and continued on to Summit Bank to visit Bop. From there we headed to Texarkana to spend the night with Nene. We were totally exhausted, but still managed to make it out to eat at Chili's! I passed out by 10pm and Nene stayed up with Cole until 11pm. Thanks Nene!!

Saturday was Canan's 9th bday party at the skating rink in Texarkana. Before we made it to the party, Mamaw Sharon took us all to eat at Olive Garden. It was yummy...I love the soup, salad, and breadsticks! Canan and I were being silly and put his hair in a ponytail (see pics) and we all got a big laugh! Ashlyn and Janae both came to the party to see Cole...(thank you for coming to us!) and we had a great time skating and eating cupcakes and ice cream!

Week #2 with Uncie Canan!

2008-07-30T11:08:00.005-05:00

Ok, so I have been bad about posting the last couple weeks! In my defense, we have been super busy! Lets see...last week I had Uncie Canan at my house for the 2nd time this summer. He absolutely loves to come and spend the week here. It is a change from his norm and he really enjoys helping me with Cole. It is very sweet! Cole really loves Canan, too! He pays attention to everything that Canan says and does. Canan's birthday was the 19th so on Monday, Kayla and I took him to Magic Springs to celebrate his birthday...it was really HOT, but we still had a great time!! We also played outside with the sprinkler, watched movies, and played video games.

First pair of Crocs!

2008-07-16T11:13:00.003-05:00

Nene bought Cole his very first pair of Crocs last week so I had to put them on him and take some pictures! Everyone has been telling me, "Mandi, you better start putting shoes on that boy early or he will never wear them!" So, in light of that information, I have been having him wear them almost every day for a little while, even if just around the house. He does not seem to mind them at all! Lucky me! Anyways, here are some of the pictures. He looks like a 2yr old in these pictures to me. Thanks Nene! We miss you!

My First 5K!

2008-07-16T10:22:00.004-05:00

This past Saturday evening I ran my very first 5K! When the doctor gave me the ok to exercise 6 weeks after I had Cole, I started running. I want to eventually run a marathon...I am shooting for the Little Rock Marathon in March 09! I really enjoy running and plan to make it a lifestyle and one day when Cole gets big enough he can do 5K's with me. I seriously need to invest in a jogging stroller though. The only time I can go is at 5am (before Gray leaves for work) or after he gets home at night, unless I have a babysitter for a little while.

I ran in the Big Dam Bridge Twilight 5K in Little Rock. It was pretty hard! The majority of the run was UPHILL! It took me a lot longer than it normally does, but I sure can't wait to do another one! Gray, Cole, and Kayla came to support me. Cole was wearing his "I LOVE MOMMY" shirt to show his support. :) Here are some pictures, but they are not that great. Oh, and it was 90 DEGREES!!!! That's why my face is so nasty and sweaty in the after picture!

All the runners waiting to start!I was not aware that Gray was at the finish line about to take my picture. I would have smiled!

Just moments after I finished the race...can you tell it was hot? Even Gray was sweating. And look at Cole trying to look at me...how funny! MAN, I look rough! haha!

Big boy!

2008-07-12T10:00:00.004-05:00

Our little baby boy is growing up so fast! He got a new teether this week and he just loves it! Thanks NeNe! We have tried 3 or 4 different kinds and he just didn't care much for any of the other ones. He has become so attentive lately too! He hears me or Gray talking and he is looking around the room trying to find us. It is so sweet! I think that he is trying to roll over, but I'm not sure. Guess we will find out soon! Here are some pictures from the last couple days.

This one just cracks me up!

He really likes his new rabbit. We named him Charlie.
Trying to roll over??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NENE!!

2008-07-10T10:31:00.003-05:00

Happy late birthday Nene!! Yesterday was my Mom's birthday and Kayla, Cole, and I went to Hope for the day to spend a little time with her. We had a great time and even went by to see our Grandpa Gerald on the way home! We made it back to Conway around 5pm and I got busy doing things around the house so I didn't get around to posting the birthday message until today...sorry Mom! Hope you had a great birthday! We love you!!

Aunt Lace!

2008-07-02T10:00:00.002-05:00

We wanted to say hello to Aunt Lace! Lacey is one my very best friends and she has been working really hard lately! She works at Arkansas Children's Hospital in the NICU. Her job is very important to lots of families of premature babies. We miss her and I bet she can't wait for her 6 days in a row of being off!! Come see us soon Aunt Lace...we love you!!

Night Walk

2008-06-30T21:04:00.003-05:00

Every night Gray takes Cole for a walk before he goes to sleep. It is their special time and it calms Cole down. He loves to be outside! He can be screaming and you walk outside with him and in an instant he is quiet! I usually just let them go and I try to catch up on folding clothes or cleaning up the kitchen, but tonight I decided to get their picture. Cole is just a laughing at Daddy! I LOVE this picture!!

Some Neat Facts...

2008-06-30T16:10:00.003-05:00

I thought I would just tell everyone a few new things that Cole is doing. He has been poking his lips out a lot and saying "Mmm mmm mmm". It is like a grunt almost. Kinda hard to type what it sounds like. He also is laughing and "talking" a lot now! He is reaching for things and, of course, they all go straight towards his mouth!! I think we are going to have our hands full with keeping things out of his mouth!! He is just growing up so fast and I wanted to share these details with you. We hope to see everyone soon!

Time to catch up!

2008-06-30T14:12:00.012-05:00

It has been a while since my last post so let me try to catch up on what we have been doing the last few days. Lets see, Friday morning I called my sister, Aunt KK, to come over at 7am (she was not excited about this, but she did!) so she could watch Canan and Cole. I had decided that I was going to mow the yard for Gray! He has been working so hard lately so I didn't want him to worry about mowing this weekend. But guess what...I got a seriously bad sinus infection from mowing!! I'm still not feeling much better!

After mowing, I got the boys ready and we headed to Hope for the day. I had to take Canan back and Nene (my mom) wanted to see Cole. Paw (my Dad) came to see Cole at my mom's office once we got there, too! Nene, Cole, and I went out to eat lunch and ran some errands around town. The trip was not long enough, but at least Nene and Paw got to see Cole for a little while! Cole and I got back into Conway about 6:30pm so we could spend some quality time with Daddy!

Saturday I had a ton of things to do to get ready for Stephanie's baby shower! I was up by 5am going to Wal-mart! I got everything done and was ready ON TIME! I am never on time! lol!

Yesterday was our lazy day! We just hung around the house and did nothing! I love those kind of days! Cole got a Baby Einstein Activity Center from the hostesses of my shower and we put it together last night. He is not quite big enough to really appreciate it, but he did sit in it for a while and tried to play with the toys. It was cute!

Here are some pictures from the weekend...

This was Cole's first bath in his Bumbo seat. He was out-growing his little tub and my Aunt and Uncle told me when they were here to try this...he LOVED it! Thanks for the suggestion! I would have never thought of trying it!

I didn't have to hide his privates for the pictures...he is doing a good job of holding onto it already!! Ha ha!!

Hard at work!

Nene and Cole at Nene's office.

Nene, Paw, and Cole. This is so funny...he looks like he is waving!I think he was getting tired of taking pictures.

Hanging out with Codi!

2008-06-26T22:17:00.002-05:00

Today Cole and I went to eat with one of my friends from nursing school, Codi. We went to Chili's and it was very good. Of course, as soon as the waitress puts our food onto the table I had to start feeding Cole. Haha. It was ok though because we stayed for a long time so Codi and I could catch up. We went to Target and Old Navy after lunch. Cole refused to stay in his stroller so we took turns carrying him around as we looked in Target. As we were leaving I handed Cole back to Codi and in ONE instant he was dead asleep! Codi was so sweet and bought Cole several cute onsies. Thank you Codi!!

One of Cole's new outfits that Codi got him. It says "Daddy's Little Wingman". Daddy loved it!

Happy Birthday Aunt G!!

2008-06-24T19:54:00.004-05:00

Happy Birthday Aunt G!! Hope you have a wonderful day! We love you!

Silly Faces!

2008-06-24T08:23:00.003-05:00

We went for ice cream last night and since we were going right by Aunt KK's (My little sister) we decided to stop for a min. She and Canan were making silly faces at Cole and he decided that he could do it better! It is so funny how far he can get his lips to poke out! We laughed and laughed!! Did I mention Aunt KK lives in an apartment complex and we were out in the car...people were walking by looking at us because we were laughing so much and I was taking pictures like crazy! See...I can do it best Aunt KK!! Too funny!!

Uncie Canan and Me!

2008-06-24T07:53:00.003-05:00

Canan is my little brother. He is almost 9 yrs old. He just loves Cole to death! He loves to help me take care of him. He likes to get his bottle ready and feed him. He's not too sure about the burping, but he likes to try! Cole loves when Canan talks to him and makes silly faces. We are so glad he is here this week!!
This of course was making me very nervous, but he did great! Haha

The boys after their baths. Cole was trying to copy Uncie. It was so cute!

Nice to FINALLY meet you!

2008-06-24T07:37:00.003-05:00

My Aunt Jessica, Uncle Jason, and Olivia (their 7yr old daughter) came all the way from Troy, TN Sunday to meet Cole. It is a 4 hour trip one way! Jason and I have always been close...he is more like my brother than my uncle! I was so glad they finally got to meet Cole and Cole was so excited. He sat in Jessica's lap for 45 min just talking and smiling and then fell asleep! We went to eat sushi at Fuji Steakhouse and it was delicious!! I hadn't had sushi since before I got pregnant. That is almost a year ago. Canan (my little brother) is staying the week with us so he and Olivia were super excited to see each other too!

Lake Hamilton!!

2008-06-24T07:27:00.003-05:00

We made it to the lake Saturday morning for Bop's birthday. We got there really early and spent most the day just hanging out in the condo with Bop and Berry. Gray, Bop, and me went out on the boat for a little while in the afternoon...it was a wonderful day to be on the lake! Not too hot at all! Gretchan, Corey, Ramsey, and John came up later in the afternoon and we went to Jason's for dinner. It was good. We had a great time and can't wait for July 4th!! This is us on the balcony of the condo. Please excuse the no-makeup look! :) Cole was so sleepy! He slept most the day!
Ramsey and Cole. Ramsey just loves Cole...they will be great friends!
I loved the hat! Cole? Not so much!
Mommy and Cole.

NO Mommy!

2008-06-20T17:41:00.002-05:00

Cole loves to be in the water so we play in the tub sometimes. We did today and Cole had a grand ole time! (I can't take pictures because I don't have a free hand) He was obviously NOT ready to get out! I love when he sticks his lip out...it's so cute!

Happy Birthday Bop!!

2008-06-20T17:28:00.004-05:00

Today is Bop's 60th Birthday...Happy Birthday Bop! We love you! We have been getting ready to go to the lake for the weekend to hang out with Bop, Berry, Aunt G, Uncle Corey, Ramsey and John! Let's not forget Gabbi (our dog), Daisy, and King (Bop and Berry's dogs). It takes a whole day to pack for a weekend! But as you can tell, we get a little distracted sometimes!

Late Father's Day

2008-06-20T17:09:00.005-05:00

Father's day was last Sunday, but unfortounately Gray had to work until after 8pm! On top of that downer, Cole started running a low-grade fever that day and was in no mood for play once Daddy got home. It was so sad since this is Gray's very first Father's Day! We decided that we would just have Father's Week instead! Cole's shirt says "My Daada is #1". Gray was very proud! He is such a great daddy!
