Sleep Late, My Lady Friend

i thought people were kidding when they said all babies do is sleep and eat and surprisingly scout is sticking to the mold (for now anyway).

scout getting her nails cut by one of my seasoned sisters, i thought i might cut off her fingers. summer you did a fine job.

everyone loves a baby. it's nice having so many people around to take care of my baby. i'm pretty sure will likes her the most, finally someone smaller than him.

here is one of my favorite pictures, showing off the fact that scout is already papa pete's little girl.
we are so glad she is here.
we love you scoonts!

Scout-a-rama

After 15 hours off laboring our stubborn girl decided she was too tired to finish what she started so the doctors had to take her c-section. Just like her mom she had the cord wrapped around her neck. She hung in there like a champ and we ended up with a beautiful baby.

8 lbs 6 oz and 22 inches long, I was shocked. We are still trying to figure out where all of her features come from. She has her dads furrowed brow and her moms chin, but beyond that we can't decide.

Grandma Dee was first to meet Scout this morning and Scout was so wide awake and happy. The girl keeps her eyes open the whole time she is awake, such a mature baby.

Graduation Day

Last weekend we headed up to Thatcher for Matthews graduation. I can't believe that he is 18 years old and graduated. Matthew is the greatest kid always so sweet and kind.
Matthew we love you!

-Garrett just 2 more years.

Nanny I Love You!

I have so many memories of Nanny. Camping was something we did a lot. Family reunions or just a weekend in the mountains nearby Nanny was always so much fun to go camping with. She taught us tons of card games and how to play chicken foot. I used to love going to her house and playing with her wooden Noahs ark with tiny metal animals. Every time I was at Nannys house she always kept me full of those little lemon creme filled cookies. She is an amazing woman so strong and hard working. I loved the story of her and grandpa building houses in both Sadona and Colorado, I hope to be like her someday. My Nanny is an amazing woman she taught me so many things in life.
We Love You.

-Love Peter, Lacy and Scout

Recently

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.
