THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR AWESOME PRAYERS,THOUGHTS.PHONE CALLS, CARDS,TEXT,E-MAILS FOR "OUR PAPPY" WE ALL APPRECIATE THEM SO MUCH AND TRULY FELT THEM.. LAST WEDNESDAY CHUCKS DADDY HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY, HE HAD TO HAVE A TRIPLE BYPASS WHICH IS A VERY SERIOUS SURGERY AND WE WERE ALL VERY CONCERNED.. WE DROVE DOWN ON TUESDAY AND GOT THERE ABOUT 11:00P.M. AND HAD TO BE AT THE HOSPITAL AT 5:00 A.M. THE NEXT MORNING SO IT WAS A SHORT NIGHT BUT WHEN WE GOT THERE HIS DAD AND STEPMOM AND AUNT AND BROTHER AND SISTER IN LAW WERE ALL THERE AND THEN HIS SISTER AND BROTHER IN LAW GOT THERE TO PRAY WITH US BEFORE HE WENT BACK.. IT IS JUST SO AWESOME TO COME TOGETHER AS A FAMILY AND PRAY TO THE ONE WHO WE ALL KNOW HAS IT UNDER CONTROL AND JUST THE COMFORT AND PEACE THAT WE ALL FELT WAS AWESOME!! HIS SURGERY LASTED A FEW HOURS AND HE DID HAVE SOME COMPLICATIONS WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP THE BLEEDING BUT IT STOPPED ABOUT A HOUR LATER AND WE WERE ABLE TO SEE HIM... OH HOW SHOCKING TO SEE OUR VIBRANT PAPPY IN ICU ON A VENTILATOR, IT WAS TRULY A SIGHT THAT WAS NOT ONE I WANT TO SEE AGAIN.. ONCE HE WAS AWAKE AND WE WERE ABLE TO SEE HIM IT WAS A LITTLE BETTER, IT WS JUST SO SAD TO TRY AND COMMUNICATE WITH HIM ON THE VENTILATOR AND HE WAS VERY FRUSTRATED BUT WE DID COMMUNICATE WITH HIM WRITING NOTES AND PLAYING CHARADES:) BUT AS SOON AS THE VENTILATOR WAS OUT ALL WAS GOOD... WE CARRIED ON LOTS OF HEART TO HEART CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM WHICH WAS PRICELESS...HE WAS IN ICU FOR A DAY AND A HALF AND THEN WAS MOVED TO A PRIVATE ROOM WHICH WAS SO MUCH BETTER TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ALL OF US IN THERE AT ONCE AND TO BE WITH HIM..IT WAS SUCH A STRESSFUL TIME AND ANXIOUS TIME BUT YET SUCH A SWEET TIME.. WE WERE ALL TOGETHER AS FAMILY AND GOT TO HAVE SUCH GREAT CONVERSATIONS AND JUST SHARE ALL OF OUR FEELINGS ABOUT HOW WE FELT TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER.. AS HARD AS IT WAS IT WAS A BLESSING...I JUST HATE THAT IT TOOK THAT TO HAVE TO SHARE OUR HEARTS AND TELL EACH OTHER HOW MUCH THEY MEANT TO US AND HOW MUCH WE LOVED THEM..BUT I TRULY FEEL GOD ORCHASTRATED EACH CONVERSATION..PAPPY IS HOME NOW RECOVERING AND HAS QUITE SOME TIME BEFORE HE IS 100% BUT HE WILL GET THERE, HE HAS A GREAT CARETAKER HIS WIFE!!PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HIM AS HE RECOVERS AND PRAY FOR MAMMY THAT GOD WILL GIVE HER STRENGTH AND REST TO BE THE CARETAKER..PRAISE HIM FOR MAKING RELATIONSHIPS STRONGER AND ASK HIM TO JUST TO KEEP US ALL CLOSE!!WE THANK HIM FOR EACH ONE OF YOU AND ASK HIM TO BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES!!

The Ennis Family Comes To Visit

Our best friends The Ennis Family came to visit over labor day and we had the best time! They truly are like family to us.. We go way back to St Louis.. We met in 1999 when we both lived in St Louis, we were neighbors and when we met we hit it off immediately!! Michele is truly truly the sister that God did not give me.. We are so much a like but oh so different..I can tell her anything and it does not shock her one bit.. Our husbands are the best of friends as well and have such a great time when they are together.. Our kids are like cousins, I think they seriously think they are.. So needless to say when we are together we have the best time.. All of us do!! They moved back to Arkansas 7 yrs ago and I thought I would die when she told us they were moving,oh what was I gonna do without her.. She was the friend who was there for everything, the friend who was there to hold my hand and cry with me, the one who encouraged me and prayed with me during the hardest days of my life!! The one who laughed with me and at me, the one who my children thought was their other Mother!:) She means so much to me and I can not imagine my life without her in it.. I am so blessed that God allowed our paths to cross back in 1999 and has continued to bless and grow our friendship..It is very very rare to have this kind of friendship and I just wish everyone could have a friend like her..Her husband Terry is one of the sweetest guys I know and is so much fun, we have shared many many laughs and have are own personal inside jokes) Seriously, how many relationships do you have that your whole family love each other and have great connections!! We had the best time,while the girls shopped shopped shopped, looked at houses, talked, laughed and just had the best time, the guys rode 4 wheelers, went to the shooting range, played basketball and hung out at the pool and then all hooked up for dinner it just seemed to good to be true...We celebrated Terry's bday while he was here and had so much fun, one night we went out for Mexican where they sang to him in Spanish and slapped him the face with whipped cream,needless to say out table was full of screams and laughter...The next night we had a pool party, lit the tiki torches and just had a blast... We just love their family so much, it just stinks that we are so far away from each other and cant get together very often.. Maybe one day God will see it to it that we can be neighbors again, that would just be the perfect plan for me!! Love y'all and cant wait til the next time we are all together!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoox

The Tails of Miss Molly Part 2

So Sorry it has taken me so long to post stories about Miss Molly.. All I can say is she is growing so fast and doing things in a blink of a eye that it is hard to keep up with her.. She is full of spunk and energy and keeps us laughing all the time. She is truly precious but wow I think we had forgotten what it was like to have a puppy.. To give Max credit he was so good from the day we brought him home, he honestly is like a dream puppy, he was potty trained in 2 weeks, will not go to the bathroom in the house no matter how long you are away and loves to cuddle and loves belly rubs from others.. He goes to bed when we do and wakes up when we do, he travels out of town with us and does so good in the car so needless to say we have been spoiled.. Now Miss Molly on the other hand, we always think she is doing great with the potty training and she is but she sometimes well ...has accidents..All in all she is a good puppy she is just a puppy with a BIG personality.She has learned alot of commands and behaves pretty much most of the time. She loves Max, they have truly become the best of friends. Sometimes I am afraid that she plays to rough with him because she is now lot bigger than him but he pretty much holds his own and lets her know when enough is enough! She loves the water and it is very hard to keep her out of the pool.. The boys had a Schools Out for Summer Party and had kids over to swim and she was right there in the middle of them, every time I would take a picture there she would be, so I would say she has truly adjusted to being a part of The Ray Family.If she is not in the pool and its hot outside she will do anything to get to water, the other day I filled a big plastic bowl of ice water up for her and she drank some and then she took her paws and played in it for a bit and then I noticed she took the bowl in her teeth and flipped it on to her head and back, it is so hard not to laugh at her but I do have to correct her, so I got the bowl away from her and I was getting a towel to wipe the floor and she honestly was playing like it was a slip and slide, running and sliding, like I said she keeps us laughing. If the sprinkler is on in the yard she will run and run thru it, over it,around it until it goes off.I guess it is true when they say Labs are " Water Dogs" I guess it was last week we had so much going on with the boys and I was worn out , I told Chuck I was going to take my bubble bath and go to bed so I went in climb into my bath, turned the jets on and laid back and relaxed, well about 5 mins after being in there with silence and total relaxation GUESS WHO JUMPS IN... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so I start yelling Chuck Chuck come get her and she was loving it so finally we get her out dried off and put to bed, I have now learned to lock the doors when its bubble bath time. Stay Tuned for more adventures of Miss Molly the Water Dog...

The Tails of Miss Molly xoxoxo

THE TAILS OF MISS MOLLY, I THINK IT COULD SERIOUSLY TURN INTO A CHILDREN'S STORYBOOK.HMMMM.... WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA..WELL THE STORY BEGINS OF THE BOYS MEETING A NEIGHBOR RIGHT AFTER WE FIRST MOVED IN AND SHE ASKED THEM TO DOG SIT FOR A WEEKEND SURE NO PROBLEM THEY SAY.. WELL THERE WERE 2 DOGS ONE OLD SWEET SWEET BLACK LAB NAMED "SUGAR" AND ONE YOUNG, ACTIVE YELLOW LAB NAMED "DAISY".. WELL WE ALL IMMEDIATELY FELL IN LOVE WITH BOTH OF THEM. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER WE WATCHED THEM MS PAM CALLED TO TELL US SOME SAD NEWS, SUGAR HAD PASSED AWAY AND WE WERE ALL VERY SAD. WE CONTINUED TO WATCH DAISY EVERY CHANCE WE GOT AND EVEN OUR SWEET LITTLE MAX LOVES DAISY.. MS PAM MADE THE MISTAKE OF TELLING THE BOYS THAT WHENEVER SHE BRED DAISY THAT SHE WANTED THEM TO HAVE ONE OF HER PUPPIES.. OH OK SURE THAT IS SO SWEET BUT HECK NO... WE HAD A LAB RIGHT AFTER WE GOT MARRIED AND HIS NAME WAS BO, WE TRULY LOVED BO AND IN HIS DEFENSE HE WAS RAISED IN A APARTMENT WHERE HE CHEWED THE WINDOWSILL, HE CHEWED THE BEDROOM WALL, HE CHEWED AND CHEWED AND CHEWED UGGGG SO NEEDLESS TO SAY.. WELL.... HE SOON BECAME A OUTSIDE DOG AS SOON AS WE MOVED AND HE LOVED IT AND WE DID TOO BUT WE ALWAYS SAID NEVER AGAIN..LOL... HA HA HA... WELL BACK IN MARCH MS PAM CAME BY AND SAID GUESS WHAT?? DAISY HAS PUPPIES... COME ON AND PICK YOU ONE OUT,,, SURE MS PAM BUT NO THANKS...WE EVEN MADE A DEAL WITH MS PAM WE SAID IF YOU KEEP ONE THEN WE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT TOO WHEN WE WATCH DAISY... SHE WAS LIKE SURE THAT WOULD BE GREAT...NEXT DAY, BIG MISTAKE! BIG BIG MISTAKE, HUGE MISTAKE... I SAID TO CHUCK ONE EVENING AS WE WERE WALKING MAX LETS STOP AND SEE DAISY AND HER PUPPIES.. OH MY GOODNESS WHY DID HE NOT SAY NO! WE BOTH FELL IN LOVE THERE WAS 9 BEAUTIFUL PUPPIES... 7 MALE, 2 FEMALE... 2 YELLOW, 2 CHOCOLATES, 5 BLACK.. CUTEST THINGS YOU HAVE EVER SEEN... WE GOT THEM OUT AND LOVED ON THEM AND THEY ALL CAME OUT EXCEPT ONE SHE WAS THE RUNT OF THE LITTER AND SHE JUST SAT AND WATCHED.. EVEN WHEN WE PUT THE OTHERS BACK IN THE KENNEL WITH THEIR MOMMA SHE STILL JUST SAT BEHIND HER MOMMA PEEKING OUT.. VERY SHY..SWEET PUPPY... A FEW DAYS LATER THE BOYS WANTED TO GO DOWN AND SEE THEM SO WE WENT AND PLAYED WITH THEM AGAIN.. THIS TIME THE BABY CAME OUT AND CUDDLED IN PEYTON'S LAP AS SOON AS PEYTON GOT UP TO PLAY WITH THE OTHERS SHE WENT AND CUDDLED WITH PHILLIP, THEY BOTH FELL IN LOVE WITH HER.. THE NEXT DAY THEY WANTED TO GO BACK AND A FEW WERE GONE BUT SHE WAS STILL THERE SHE CAME OUT AND LOVED ON THE BOYS AGAIN AND THEY JUST OOOHHHHED AND AWWWWED...PHILLIPS 16TH BDAY WAS COMING UP THE NEXT WEEKEND SO WE SURPRISED HIM WITH THE SWEET LITTLE BLACK ONE... HE WAS SO EXCITED AND WE ALL COULD NOT GET ENOUGH OF HER.. EVEN MAX FELL IN LOVE SERIOUSLY THINK HE THOUGHT SHE WAS HIS BABY... WE GOT HER WHEN SHE WAS 5 WEEKS OLD AND SHE WEIGHED BARELY 6 LBS..TINY LITTLE THING THAT LOVED TO CUDDLE WITH ANYONE..A FEW DAYS WENT BY AND SHE WAS GETTING USE TO US AND HER NEW HOME AND LOVED TO PLAY WITH MAX. THE NEXT WEEKEND WE THREW A SURPRISE PARTY FOR PHILLIP WITH A TON OF KIDS, LOUD MUSIC AND LOTS OF EXCITEMENT.. WELL THAT SHY PUPPY DECIDED SHE WANTED TO SOCIALIZE TOO, SHE WAS THE CUTEST THING GREETED EVERYONE WHO CAME UP, RAN AROUND AND EVEN TRIED TO JUMP IN THE POOL WITH THE KIDS A FEW TIMES.SO I GUESS YOU COULD SAY SHE STARTED OUT SOCIALIZING EARLY AND SHE LOVES PEOPLE..Phillip decided to name her Molly, he wanted to name her Maddi but we said no because our friends have a dog named Maddi and our best friends have a daughter named Maddi.. The funny thing we told our friends daughter and she was all for naming her Maddi but we decided Molly really fit her..We love our new addition and look forward to playing and loving her.. Stayed Tuned for the adventures of Miss Molly.. I will be adding them soon.......

Happy Birthday Chuck

Today is May 9th and it is Mothers Day and it is also Chuck's birthday!! How cool is that? I think it would be so cool to have a baby on Mothers Day.. Babies are truly a Gift from God any day of the week but just to say I had a baby on Mothers Day it just seems like a extra special blessing from above.. Any way Happy Mothers Day to all of you and a Happy Happy Birthday to my man. I know I just posted a Anniversary post on Chuck but personally I can not brag enough about him:) He truly is a amazing Husband, Father and Friend. I have to say I am one of the luckiest girls in the world to have him as my husband, partner and best friend. He gives and gives so much of himself and will do anything we ask and want him to do and then gives more.. You know some people have those relationships where it is 50/50 well truly I feel here it is 110/50... Thank you so much for loving me and doing all that you do for me and the boys, we love and appreciate you more than we could ever show or tell you. You are such a great example to me as a christian leader, a loyal friend and loving spouse and I truly don't know what I would do without you. Thank you for being such a awesome Father. Here are some notes from the boys that they wanted to share with you.
From Phillip..... Happy Birthday Dad! I hope you have a awesome day and I hope you know how much I love you! I am so glad that I have you as my dad, you care about me and love me and want the very best for me. I am sorry that I let you down at times and I m sorry that I disappoint you sometimes but I thank you for loving me no matter what. You are the best and I hope to be just like you one day! Happy Bday!! From Peyton...... Happy Bday Dude! Hope you have a great day, thanks for being the best Dad in the world, I am glad that God chose you to be my Dad, I think you are the best Coach and I have a good time out there with you and all my friends think you are cool.. Love you Dad! Happy Bday! I hope and pray that this year is the very best by far, I pray that God shine his light on you and thru you. I pray that this year will be filled with a abundance of blessings for you.. We love you very very much and hope you have a Happy Happy Bday!!!
