mom.

let me tell you a little about my mom, carol ray.

she's one of the smartest people i know.

holland high school class of 1973 valedictorian.

she is a title IX pioneer and was awarded one of the first female athletic scholarships ever to the university of michigan for basketball.


my mom is an awesome cook. this photo was snapped at one of the ray family iron chef competitions.


girlfriend knows how to shop.

she's one of the biggest sports fans i know.

not only is she the world's greatest mom, but she's also an exemplary wife of 32 years.

without fail, she will buy too much food. having 4 people over for dinner? better buy 10 steaks.

my mom never missed a single one of my plays in high school. even if she had already seen the show 4 times.

happy mother's day, mom. your kids love you.
