4 weeks old

 Scout decided to help give Elliott a bath. She was just glad that it wasn't her in the water.

Happy Halloween, Boo!

1 1/2 Weeks Old

 Sportin' his new kicks. Unfortunately, he is never awake long enough to get out to show them off.

 He finally woke up for a few minutes and then he was out again. At least he was having a good dream.

Elliott Bowen Wood- 9/14/2012

Elliott was 8 lbs and 21 inches long

My mom got a flight to Arizona as soon as she heard that we were getting induced. Elliott was able to wait long enough to allow her to get there for his birth. She made it with an hour to spare.

 He got a little bit of a bruise on the back of his head from delivery. This little bruise caused him to stay in the hospital for a couple of extra days under the bilirubin lights. But it's already gone away and he is doing great.

Adam didn't get much sleep the first night on the extra comfortable chair pull out bed, so he snuck a few minutes on the bed the next morning.

He's definitely got big feet and toes that could be mistaken as fingers.

 He doesn't have much hair, but what he does have is strawberry blonde and extremely fuzzy.

Summer Adventures

We took a trip to the Arizona Science Center and Adam tried out his doctor skills with the x-ray machine. Watch out world, here comes Dr. Wood.

Also at the Science Center, we learned all about sneezes. We wanted to check if the nose was allergic to Adam.

Beautiful Utah

Max, Krieg, and Gage attacked Adam at the splash pad. He was asking for it and didn't stand a chance. 

Silver Lake was more spectacular than ever. We had it all to ourselves and couldn't have asked for a better day. 

Surprisingly enough, Chelsie was the first to jump in and cool off and it didn't take Scout long before she followed suit. The rest of us didn't have the guts to join in. 

Is it possible to take this with us back to Arizona?

Day At Lake Pleasant

Arizona is not necessarily known for it's large bodies of water. Actually we have been searching for water for months. But during Adam's spring break, we decided to make a trip up north to Lake Pleasant, which actually turned out to be a pleasant afternoon. The lake doesn't have the most beautiful surroundings, but the lake is so clear and definitely hit the spot.

The whole reason Adam really wanted to go to the lake was to throw Scout in and see if she could swim. Despite a lot of whimpering, she stayed afloat and made Adam proud.
13 Deadend Drive is still one of the best games ever invented. Unfortunately, this picture was taken to catch Adam's victory. That doesn't happen too often when we play this game, so I guess it is momentous.


Scout is supposedly going to be the world's best frisbee dog, according to Adam. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone has told Scout yet. But as you can see, she is getting better. There have been a lot of frisbee practicing in the house rather than outside due to the fact that when we get outside she would rather chew on grass and twigs than chase after a rubber disc.
