Here I am in my Sunday best. Mom had Nonna getting me ready for church and I was not being very helpful!

I think I look very handsome in this outfit. I had to look good to impress the little girls in the nursery with me.

Here I am getting ready for the USC, U of A G Football Game on Saturday. My Pop and Nonna came up to see me.

Dad and Pop left me at home with the girls but we watched it on TV. Dad claims we lost because Mitch Mustage did not play until the 4th quarter. :)

Cole is getting so BIG! At his 2 month check up on Aug 22nd, 2006. He weighed 14 lbs. and 9 oz. Here is sitting in his Bumbo seat.

We stole this idea from our good friends Kathryn and Evan Flores. Be looking for my monthly birthday picutre to come.

More from the Road Trip:

Nonna had the coolest toy! Cole played with it for hours. We tried to "borrow it" but the other cousins like it as well. Maybe next we go down it will find its way to our suitcase. :)









Cole and Dad spending time with Uncle Mark and Cousin Brennen.

OUR FIRST ROAD TRIP- RUSSELLVILLE TO SEE NONNA AND POP

This is Jon's Grandfather Clyde Griffing, Cole is named after him. We just changed the spelling a little. Clyde worked on the Railroad all his life in McGhee, AR. So when Caleb, Jon's newhew was little and trying to learn all the Papa, he nicknamed Clyde "Papa Train". It stuck and he loves it!




I am not sure who is trying to figure out who here. But it is so cute that Cole is learning to make eye contact.











Hanging out with my Big Cousin Brennen. He loved taking my passie while I was at Nonna's and Aunt Terri had to guard it for me.





Even away from home I have to have my nightly walk! This picutre is all the Palfreeman Family. Terri is my sister-in-law and I have been friends with her since I was in the 10th grade.

This is Cole's favorite Toy! It is a runner jogger. He loves it. Every night after dinner, Jon and I take Cole for a 30 min. walk. It is amazing how soon they learn their schedules! If we are not in the jogger by 8:00 PM evey night the melt down is on.

When Cole was 2 weeks old, My Grandmother Sarratt came to stay with me for a few days. It was wonderful having her here and for her to get to meet Cole.

Cole is my Grandmothers 17th Great Grand Child. My brother is expecting number 18 in late March. Be praying for a little girl!

Cole's favorite time of night is his bath. He loves it. He is not real crazy about getting out of it. He throws a Sarratt-Palfreeman fit!





I love this look on his face! He looks like he is thinking "Just wait women, one of these days I will get even!"

Cole and Daddy in the hospital right after he was born.








Jon and Cole hanging out at the house while mom gets some down time.

Cole and His First Cousins

This is Tristen and Jackson, my brother Lee's sons with Cole at my house in Springdale. Tristen is 5 years old and Jackson is 19 months. The boys live in El Paso, TX. They came up and stayed a night with Cole before going over to the Sarratt Family reunion. We had to miss the reunion because of doctors orders but it was great to have the boys meet.





This is Caleb, Brennan, Jon, Mark (Jon's brother), and Pop (Jon's father) with Cole at the hospital. Caleb is 3 1/2 and Brennen is 7 months. They are Mark's boys. They live in Russellville where Mark is the College Pastor for the First Baptist Church.

Cole and His Grandparents-

Dave "Pop" and Shay "Nonna" Palfreeman leave in Russellville just down 540 about a hour and a half. Shay is going to keep Cole for me on Monday's while I do Rotary. Dave is the Farm Bureau Manager in Russellville.

Cole is the 3rd grandson on both mine and Jon's sides of the families. I guess the Palfreeman's and Sarratt's just don't make little girls. I don't mind I wouldn't trade this little boy for anything in the world!





This is my mother Sue "MeMe" Sarratt, she lives in Durant, Ok but Jon and I are on a campaign to get her to move to NWA. We are hoping Cole will help us seal the deal!

Mom came up on Tuesday night before I went into the hospital on Wednesday to have Cole. I don't know what I would have done with out Mom and Shay to help me out after I got home.


This is my father Ronnie "Papa Doc" Sarratt and his wife Kathy. They live in Prosper, TX just five miles up the road from Frisco. Dad works for the Goverment as a Vet and Kathy has recently went back to school to be a courtreporter after many years in the Real Estate business.

My dad and kathy drove up on Thursday night late to welcome Cole.

Cole Greffen Palfreeman was born Thursday, June 22nd at 10:43 AM at Willow Creek Women's Hospital in Springdale. The weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces and is 19 3/4 inches long. Courtney and Cole are both doing great. Jon was wonderful helping me through the c-section.


Sue, Kathy, Ronnie, Shay, Dave, Mark, Terri and the boys were all there to help welcome him into the Palfreeman Family. Shay and I took these pictures our first day home from the hospital.

I love this one of him smiling. I have to say he looks just like Jon and all he has on me is my lips and chin.


He is always looking for somthing to eat. When we left the hopsital he had lost some weight but I am happy to say when we went to the check up on Monday, July 3rd he had gained all his weight back! YEAH

Easter at the Palfreemans

With just about 8 weeks to go, Jon and I went to Russellville for Easter. Here is Jon and I out side Shay and Dave's house Easter Sunday

On March 25th Melonie and Brian Moore hosted Jon and I a baby shower for Cole. We had a great time. Mom and Shay came up for it and we were surprised by old friends from DeQueen who have known Jon and I for years.

Melonie and Brian got Jon and I the these cute little baby onies for Cole. I think they know us well!

In Feb 06 Jon, Mom and I drove out to Ruidoso, New Mexico to see my brother Lee and his family (Heidi, Tristan, and Jackson). My mothers brother's son Aaron Robertson and his wife Jennifer brought their new baby girl Hannah to meet her cousins.

Everyone had a great time skiing but with my ever growing belly I was on baby sitting patrol!
