Every time I ride the light rail I always want to stop at Knock Kneed Lobster, a Ford family favorite, and before you ask its much better than Pete's Fish and Chips.

On our way to the Suns game we stopped and walked over to get some dinner. It was a bit of a walk and I almost didn't make it. I hope its due to the 30 extra lbs im carrying around and not a sign that my heart is going to explode.

We went to two games last week and we won tons of prizes. Peter won a Raja Bell signed jersey and I got a signed Amare Stoudemire signed ball. Then the players were throwing t-shirts into the stands and Peter and I both caught one. Fan appreciation night did the Dangerford's well.

We finally got a chance to meet Mr. Orange.

I'm pretty sure I was grossing out all of surrounding patrons with my relaxing positions.

Los Rayas De La Torta caught Peter's eye during an episode of Diners Drive- In's and Dives. I got a chicken avocado torta, it was delicious!

Peter and Wes tackled the monster of a torta which contained chicken, ham, chirizo, hot links and a bunch of other stuff. I was surprised but they finished it.

I hid Peter's Easter basket so well that it took him close to 30 minutes to find it.

Here's the kids cracked out on candy and soda.

Finally Peter found the basket. However after this weekend he has decide no more candy! More for me right?

Be Careful, There's A Baby In The House

Thanks so much to all my sisters and mother for the wonderful job on my baby shower. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and decided to be 50 degrees and rainy! Seriously its April? I think that was the coldest weather and most rain that Gilbert has received in the past year.

Thank you all for coming Scout loves you!

Where Did My Spring Go?

We took the bikes down to Tempe Town Lake to ride around and fly some kites, unfortunately kites don't work in Arizona. Peter didn't let that stop him from trying, we found out kites stay up if you keep running.

Because of Peters obsession with BBQ these days we decided to cash in our groupon and enjoy some BBQ, after an afternoon at the park. Lunch just proved that Honey Bears can't compare to Peters smoked pork smothered in Papa Pete's Poison.

We decided that we were spending too much money on QT donuts and sodas. So in an attempt to cut back we decided to make our own chocolate cake donuts. Peter I'm still convinced no one has ever heard of a buttermilk bar.

Thanks to glowing diva we had a bang up spring break. Our hiking trip to Sedona was a pizz-a heaven.

Look at that gut, who knows how I managed that thing there and back. At one point we had to cross the water. We were told the water would be 'slow and low', however it was anything but. We were gonna brave it then quickly remembered that I was 7 months pregnant and Matt had Olive strapped to his chest. So that is when we turned around and headed back.

AMOCOCO, the inflatable blowup light exhibit made me feel like I was wondering through a network of veins.


Spring break was just a tease, I can't wait for summer time.

Big Black Smoke

I decided to play a little trick on Peter for his birthday.

The month before his birthday I kept telling Peter we needed to wait to buy his bike till we had all the money saved, But I was planning to buy it for him as a surprise all along. So, on the day of his birthday I bought the bike and stashed it in the back yard. When he got home from school, I informed him I had changed my mind about buying the bike and we should do it right now. He was so excited as we headed down there, but I knew full well that the bike is no longer there. His heart sank like a stone when they told him it would be a few months till they could get another one. We left empty handed (wink!).

I think it's only me who thinks things like this are funny.

Then after hitting up Joe's Farm Grill and Krispy Kream, the first leg in the birthday trifecta, we went home to pick up bicycles and ride to Joe's BBQ and Liberty Market. That's when he found his bike nicely placed in the backyard.
And that's when I was deemed the best wife ever.

Peter fell in love with the bike when he realized it was a good 3 inches larger than your standard cruiser. Can you see the size difference?

I hope Joe realizes people like the Dangerford's take advantage of his $10 free birthday dinner by hitting up all 3 of his restaurants.

Happy Birthday Peter!

Love Lacy and Scout

There and Back Again, a Fat Tale

All I'm missing is the acid wash jeans and plaid scrunchie.

I've really been missing my "let it all out" days. So I'm bring it back. Haven't quite hit my moon face phase, but I'm really hoping to reach it by bikini season.
Cross your fingers.

We're Back In Action!

After a "brief" hiatus the dangerfords felt it was necessary to start up the ol' blog.
After enjoying dinner at the Thai Elephant, Peter took me to my first Suns game so I could fulfill my wish of asking Marcin Gortat if he wants to be my best friend. Unfortunately, he declined my request.

I have come to the conclusion that it is always best to accept offers for free face painting.....well at least I think it was free.

Thanks to Peters friend Megan we got these great seats, nice and padded. Although the extra padding made it so that my feet were 5 inches from touching the ground....which made for a very uncomfortable evening.

Hey remember when Nash did that....

Ps- I even got to see Siler play, what a night.

Pss- I'm pregnant!
