Happy Birthday Scout!

Anyone that knows me well, has heard the story of Scout's birth. And if for some odd reason you don't know, well....you probably don't want to ask. I get all excited when I tell it and it ends up being a really long story. We celebrated her birthday while we were in St. George this past weekend. No fanfare of a birthday party, but she thought she was the coolest person ever because she had people sing to her every day for three days and she kept getting presents from people everywhere she went.

The first picture is an actual real product that a man made. It goes on top of your car like a taxi sign when it needs to be used. I thought it was quite funny. I wish that they made more signs like "Screaming child inside" or "Mom about to lose it inside". Those may be more useful. Although, I'm sure that my sister wishes she had one of these lighted signs on the outside of her car on August 15th two years ago.



Thus began the life of my sweet little girl, Scout. She came out screaming, much like I was while I gave birth. Little did we know that this girl with a great set of lungs and a pout that could scare a bulldog, would be the sweetest thing to touch our lives.

We love our little Scouters, and are so happy that she is a part of our lives. Happy Birthday Scout!

P.S. Love the taxi sign. I've often thought that I need a little place on my car where I can display messages like "turn off your blinker, you idiot" or "drive the speed limit, or get of the road!" I sound like a grouchy driver, don't I??!!

I thought of her when we were in California! Hope her birthday was great!

Does it really seem like 2 years have gone by since we were in the hospital together?

A truly memorable day for the Stokes family. Scout is a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day--except when she's trying to fall asleep in my car! :) We love her guts!
