Brandon's good friends Bill and Ang and their son William were in route moving from Arizona back to Boston and decided to stop in Little Rock for a few days. I had never met Ang and spent very little time with Bill, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but we had a wonderful time! Their little boy William is Ethan's age and they had so much fun playing and having sleepovers in Ethan's bunk bed. Brandon showed them a lot of downtown and really enjoyed seeing his friends and watching our boys playing.</div>The Gray Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10629727796556456337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216179191226904521.post-45254443177573020382011-12-02T17:38:00.001-06:002011-12-02T17:47:56.090-06:00St. Louis Trip<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Brandon and I took a little weekend getaway to celebrate my birthday and get me out of the house! We walked ALL of St. Louis and did Busch Stadium (which was buzzing as they prepared for the playoffs which led to the World Series! Great time to be in St. Louis), City Museum, Anheiser Busch, local breweries, the Rams game and anything else we could get to. Both of us toured the arch when we were kids and remember it feeling claustrophobic and rickety, so we decided just to go view it instead :)</div>The Gray Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10629727796556456337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216179191226904521.post-88388807154592272892011-12-02T17:31:00.001-06:002011-12-02T17:35:12.829-06:00Karate Ethan<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We decided it was time to get Ethan into some kind of activity where he could learn discipline, structure, and hopefully have fun at the same time. He got really excited about the idea of karate, so we are trying out the Tiny Tigers program at our local ATA. So far he is really enjoying it and it's so cute to see him in his uniform really paying attention to his instructor and learning new things!</div>The Gray Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10629727796556456337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216179191226904521.post-25991767015426285272011-12-02T17:27:00.001-06:002011-12-02T17:29:04.655-06:00Back to School 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Charlie was less excited about bowling :)</div>

For Ethan's birthday, we had a CARS party at the house with all the family and grandparents and cousins and such, then a little swim party at our neighborhood pool for some of his friends from school and church. I think someone may have had TOO much birthday this year, so next year we are going to have to scale it down. We had so much fun celebrating our big boy and watching his excitement for his special day as well! </div>

We had a big 4th of July of activities, especially considering Charlie was only a week old. My sweet friend Jennifer, who also lives down the street, organized a 4th of July parade in our neighborhood, so Ethan was so excited to decorate his monster truck and lead the parade of kids. Then we were off to the country club to enjoy the pool and inflatables and have dinner. When we got home, both boys were exhausted from all the excitement and activities, so it was family naptime on the couch with mommy!</div>The Gray Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10629727796556456337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216179191226904521.post-82605504446906124642011-11-05T12:40:00.001-06:002011-11-05T12:40:56.999-06:00Charlie's Coming Home<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This post is to remind me how crazy I was at 9 months pregnant! I worked Riverfest for 3 days when I was EXTREMELY pregnant, swollen, and out of mind. I really did have a good time and wanted to work with Ashley...the girls finally made me leave mid-sunday for fear I was going into early labor. Of course on Friday morning I got the fun opportunity to be on 103.7 the buzz with Ashley, David Bazzel, and Roger Scott and then they surprised me with an appearance on Channel 7 with Melinda Mayo and Beth Hunt. It was really fun, just embarassed looking at these photos of how swollen and miserable I must have looked!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">We took Ethan to a Big Brother class at Baptist to get him kind of comfortable with the hospital and maybe what to expect when it was time for mommy to go there. He was so sweet and really paid attention to how to care for a baby and even drew Charlie a picture for us to take to the hospital. We were so proud of him and still having trouble believing my first baby is about to be the big brother and not the baby anymore! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">We started out our Easter weekend festivities with the fun at PVCC. They have the petting zoo, Easter bunny, and egg hunting for all age groups. We had a great time and of course Ethan enjoyed watching Reagan and helping Ella more than he was worried about getting his own eggs. After lunch we headed to Mimi and Papa's house to hunt eggs again. Reagan was super excited, but Ethan was getting tired and gave up after just a few eggs. Then Sunday morning we celebrated Easter at our church and then headed to lunch with my family, I was only able to get him to sit still for one picture!</div>The Gray Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10629727796556456337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216179191226904521.post-82385703475748628302011-04-17T20:11:00.000-06:002011-04-17T20:11:48.976-06:00Touch a Truck 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K-ik4AxJEws/TaucVK_dokI/AAAAAAAACnE/4iE7hOJVS8Q/s1600/IMG_0591.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K-ik4AxJEws/TaucVK_dokI/AAAAAAAACnE/4iE7hOJVS8Q/s320/IMG_0591.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I'm not sure Brandon has ever been more proud than this moment!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-adDrx6K6bOI/TaucsQW5h6I/AAAAAAAACnI/IsFRn4Ajq7Q/s1600/IMG_0588.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-adDrx6K6bOI/TaucsQW5h6I/AAAAAAAACnI/IsFRn4Ajq7Q/s320/IMG_0588.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Checking out the policeman's gear</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qxV5kV7UjI4/TaucyIFHKmI/AAAAAAAACnM/ZkVKHrCX8VU/s1600/IMG_0587.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qxV5kV7UjI4/TaucyIFHKmI/AAAAAAAACnM/ZkVKHrCX8VU/s320/IMG_0587.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">most excited fireman EVER!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We took Ethan to the Junior League of Little Rock's Touch a Truck event Saturday and it was even better than last year. They have all kinds of trucks, trolley, motorcycles, police cars, bounce houses......you get the idea, LOTS of stuff for the kids to enjoy. Ethan really wants to be a fireman and a sheriff along with about 5 other professions, so he was super excited to put on the fireman's suit and also to climb in the police car and then get to put on the helmet AND play with the gun (not loaded and very safe, I promise). I'm so glad the JLLR does this event b/c it's so fun for the kids. They also have education booths to teach safety for all kinds of activities AND a car seat safety check which it's shocking how many people have theirs installed unsafely or incorrectly. Can't wait til next year! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">After realizing he's 31/2 and I've been paying insurance on him for year, I finally made an appt with a pediatric dentist in town. I went to high school with him and since they were so geared towards children, I was praying for a non-traumatic experience! Luckily we have read all about Dora going to the dentist many many times, so he knew all about what would happen and the tools, etc. He was a PERFECT patient! The dentist had no expectations since he was so young and it was his first visit, but they were able to get everything they needed. I was so stinkin' proud! Then they told me he has 2 cavities, which deflated the balloon a little. We go back in a few weeks to get those filled and I am praying it goes smoothly as well!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We had a fun month of March, and apparently only caught some activities with our phones, so I wanted to get them on here as well. We went to the Rivermarket to run around one saturday morning and Ethan LOVED running around on the big stage and singing his songs for us. He really loves to replay his Sesame Street Musical on any stage, but he really wanted us to sit in the seats and watch his show. </div><div style="text-align: center;">For St. Patrick's Day, we went to Happy Hour in the Heights to enjoy the big parade, outdoor music, snacks and drinks from the heights businesses, and seeing lots of friends. Ethan had a big time running up and down the sidewalks, playing in the bouncy house, but the biggest joy was dancing with the musicians outside the Ozark Outdoor. The only way we could get him to leave was to see the parade!</div><div style="text-align: center;">During spring break, I took Ethan to the zoo and the only picture he smiled for all day was when I let him climb on the rock. The zoo was a literal zoo during spring break, so he was overwhelmed by all the kids. We'll have to go back soon to give the new penguin exhibit another less hectic try :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> We took Ethan to Memphis for the last weekend of spring break. We got there early enough on Friday to do the zoo that afternoon and see just about all of it, then it was on to the hotel and down to Beale to find some dinner. We went to Huey's which is one of my faves and Ethan was SO excited to get to write his name on the wall. Then on Saturday we had breakfast with our dear friend Whitney before heading to the Children's Museum. Ethan has talked non-stop about being a sheriff since we saw Rango last week, so when Whit mentioned there was a sheriff car at the museum, Ethan could NOT wait to get there. I think we were there with half of memphis due to being a cold rainy day, but we had so much fun with him "being on tv", pretending to be a fireman and sheriff and do his own grocery checking. After a very long nap for daddy and Ethan, we took the scenic route on the trolley and then went to Beale for some BBQ. Ethan loves music and was tickled to watch this guy perform and dance in front of the stage all night. We had a great time and made lots of great memories with our family of 3....soon to be 4! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

How Far Along: 24 Weeks<br />
Size of baby: an ear of corn<br />
Total Weight Gain/Loss: gained 2 lbs so far<br />
Maternity Clothes: wearing mostly maternity tunics and leggings<br />
Gender: it's a boy! Charlie Newton Gray<br />
Movement: Charlie is very active and loves kicking my bladder!<br />
Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty good!<br />
What I miss: wine<br />
Cravings: pizza, pasta<br />
Symptoms: just starting to feel stretched tight in the belly and I can't believe he has to keep growing for at least 12 more weeks!<br />
Best Moment this week: hearing Ethan tell everyone we see about his baby Charlie in mommy's belly. He's getting so excited and keeps asking when he's going to come out. Also, whenever we go out to eat he saves a seat for Charlie, I guess he's read to be a family of four!</div>The Gray Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10629727796556456337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216179191226904521.post-18774974231036842652011-03-20T12:48:00.001-06:002011-03-20T12:58:42.524-06:00Sesame Street Adventure<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Bqk5-UxFzk0/TYZJl9fdVPI/AAAAAAAAClw/aKzfYz1HWys/s1600/DSC_0019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Bqk5-UxFzk0/TYZJl9fdVPI/AAAAAAAAClw/aKzfYz1HWys/s400/DSC_0019.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-uCYnebMKEfw/TYZKG0jKyrI/AAAAAAAACl0/tS7_Pq45JJc/s1600/DSC_0026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-uCYnebMKEfw/TYZKG0jKyrI/AAAAAAAACl0/tS7_Pq45JJc/s400/DSC_0026.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-5TIk9NWF4a4/TYZKervBXxI/AAAAAAAACl4/IbAN-PHagX4/s400/DSC_0036.JPG" width="400" /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ethan's preschool did a Sesame Street program for a fundraiser and I was so nervous to see how he acted b/c every year at the Christmas program he just sits down, or doesn't sing, or cries.....but he had really been excited about the songs and I was hopeful it would be a good performance. He sang "C is for Cookie" nearly every day so I knew that was coming, then the week of he started singing "Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street". My mom, dad, and Brandon's dad were all there to see it and he was so excited when he found us in the audience. He did a great job singing all the songs AND doing the motions. Brandon had to miss b/c of work, but Ethan has made it up by doing mini-performances every night since then. </div>The Gray Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10629727796556456337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216179191226904521.post-30903831565620713412011-03-20T12:27:00.002-06:002011-03-20T12:58:05.992-06:00Our Little Bookworm<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ahyJMZEFOUA/TYZFUjVRiHI/AAAAAAAAClo/grOw-O8WU_0/s400/DSC_0011.JPG" width="400" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0ZSZ2Q_7TQ8/TYZFnQNcdWI/AAAAAAAACls/GUeYMQ6IWIA/s400/DSC_0005.JPG" width="400" /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A few weeks ago, Ethan had a case of the stomach virus, so we stayed in at home all weekend. On Sunday morning he went upstairs to play in his room which normally only lasts for about 5 minutes. Brandon went up to check on him after 30 minutes of too much quiet and found Ethan relaxed with some pillows and reading a stack of books. I think he looked through about 20 or so, it was just so sweet to see b/c this boy NEVER slows down long and we love to see how much he loves books, he takes after his daddy for sure!</div>The Gray Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10629727796556456337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216179191226904521.post-7832468702121865452011-02-18T20:09:00.002-06:002011-02-18T20:19:09.333-06:0020 Weeks with Baby#2<div style="text-align: center; font-family: georgia;">Pregnancy Highlights:<br />How Far Along: 20 Weeks<br />Size of baby: size of a banana (lengthwise)<br />Total Weight Gain/Loss: lost 1 lb<br />Maternity Clothes: wearing mostly maternity tunics and leggings<br />Gender: it's a boy!

It's so sweet that he is so ready to meet his baby brother and yet he has no idea what is coming!<br />We are naming baby boy #2 Charles "Charlie" Newton Gray. Charles is after Brandon's grandfather who passed away 1 1/2 years ago. He was such a kind man and Brandon has so many fond memories of him growing up. He always loved me like his own granddaughter and since mine have been gone for over 10 years, he was a wonderful Papaw to me as well. Newton is after my dad. Anyone who knows me knows that I love my dad and think he is the neatest man. Always so loving and generous and a wonderful Papa to all his grandbabies. I can't wait for Charlie to get here and meet him and see why he's so special to me.<br /></span>The Gray Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10629727796556456337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216179191226904521.post-19572100646225839382011-02-18T19:59:00.006-06:002011-02-18T20:09:32.159-06:00Snow Days 2011<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W5Il8GsduVc/TV8lbNU1BMI/AAAAAAAAClg/wgVcIqIpveY/s1600/IMG_2513.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W5Il8GsduVc/TV8lbNU1BMI/AAAAAAAAClg/wgVcIqIpveY/s320/IMG_2513.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575216013071680706" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-26jfNwf8Y4k/TV8lWEgZt-I/AAAAAAAAClY/lLCqmar83nk/s1600/IMG_2515.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-26jfNwf8Y4k/TV8lWEgZt-I/AAAAAAAAClY/lLCqmar83nk/s320/IMG_2515.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575215924804958178" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JXKQHVhAY18/TV8lRB0BYyI/AAAAAAAAClQ/0E7taxjzcsI/s1600/IMG_2523.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JXKQHVhAY18/TV8lRB0BYyI/AAAAAAAAClQ/0E7taxjzcsI/s320/IMG_2523.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575215838182597410" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cPY4K8SsG9U/TV8lNBtifMI/AAAAAAAAClI/od3VRoWhOdU/s1600/IMG_2525.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cPY4K8SsG9U/TV8lNBtifMI/AAAAAAAAClI/od3VRoWhOdU/s320/IMG_2525.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575215769435929794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IYvApewmnU0/TV8lIPfjRbI/AAAAAAAAClA/eLY8i2OGb-E/s1600/IMG_0422.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IYvApewmnU0/TV8lIPfjRbI/AAAAAAAAClA/eLY8i2OGb-E/s320/IMG_0422.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575215687236011442" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gbYtoIEg05M/TV8k-S0fkYI/AAAAAAAACk4/miKxQBCzyPY/s1600/IMG_0425.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gbYtoIEg05M/TV8k-S0fkYI/AAAAAAAACk4/miKxQBCzyPY/s320/IMG_0425.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575215516330463618" border="0" /></a><br /><p>We had the most snow this winter that I have seen in as long as I can remember. I really thought Ethan would be excited and we would build snowmen and sled and do all the snowy day fun...but he only wanted to play in it the first day of the first snow. Keep in mind we had 3 BIG snows with several days out of school. He was so excited at first, just wanted to run and head-dive into the snow and laugh about it. The stores had sold out of the traditional sleds, so I got him an inflatable sled from Target which Brandon and I pulled him around the neighborhood on. I think the biggest hit was 4 wheeling in the snow. We wrapped him up real snug b/c the wind really slaps you in the face, and he and Brandon made the loop around the neighborhood. Then he went down his slide a few times into the snow and he was done. I'm hoping next year to get a few more activities and maybe a snowman!<br /></p>The Gray Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10629727796556456337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216179191226904521.post-48705867780723913572011-01-06T11:17:00.002-06:002011-01-06T11:27:02.284-06:00Baby Gray #2<p style="text-align: center;">Baby Gray #2</p><p style="text-align: center;">Due 7-7-11<br /></p><p>We found out right before Halloween that we are expecting again! As some may know, we had a miscarriage over the summer, so I was nervous to tell anyone this time until we saw the doctor and made sure everything is ok. Dr. D said "it looks like you love to grow big healthy babies" so I should expect this one to be no smaller than Ethan was at birth (he was 10 lbs 1 oz) We were just so excited to see it was just one (the family was wishing for twins) and to hear everything looked and sounded good. The first trimester was much harder than with Ethan and everything feels different, so I'll be curious to see if that means anything about what we're having this time. We find out January 24th what this baby we'll be. Brandon and Ethan are both positive that it's a boy, so I hope they're not too disappointed if they're wrong. I just want a healthy baby! :) I saw the following on another blog, and I wanted to keep up with this pregnancy the same way.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I'm 14 weeks! </p><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Pregnancy Highlights:<br />How Far Along: 14 Weeks<br />Size of baby: size of a lemon<br />Total Weight Gain/Loss: lost 1 1/2 lbs<br />Maternity Clothes: started to wear some maternity pants, but most of my regular clothes still fit<br />Gender: we find out January 24th<br />Movement: I have felt a few flutters<br />Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty good!<br />What I miss: wine <br />Cravings: pizza<br />Symptoms:mostly nausea in the first 12 weeks, but now only occasional heartburn<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Best Moment this week: Getting really excited thinking about Ethan being a big brother<br /></div>The Gray Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10629727796556456337noreply@blogger.com1
