Rock n' Roll

Someone was busy while Mommy was at work today!

All grown up

Jon's fan club

Someone turned thirty this weekend and it wasn't Kinnick!

Good ol' Jon spent the morning going on a long awaited bike ride.  It was an Eeyore sort of morning because he busted his tire about 10 miles from home in ho'dunk Missouri and I was too busy vacuuming to hear my cellphone.  About an hour later I pulled into Pegg's Restaurant to pick up the birthday boy right as it started to downpour.  Just in time!

Happy birthday to one cool dad.  Mushrooms aren't the only fungi we love!

Soooo big

Ready to walk

Peyton is getting ahead of herself!  She loves pushing herself into a standing position and stretching out those strong legs.  It won't be long before she'll be running all over the place.  

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Fun with Dad

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo!  How about you, you, you?  Peyton visited the zoo this weekend and had a blast.  Especially when she woke up to see the elephant.  And after a long and grueling search, the big kids were super excited to find the snow cone stand.

Hey it's Kinnick

Happy 3 months!

Happy 3 months Peyton! We love you!!

Stage mom

Pimp my baby

We entered Peyton in the Bremer County Fair Cutest Baby Contest.  We had to select a category for entry: prettiest eyes, chubbiest cheeks, most hair or least hair.  We selected prettiest eyes of course!  Unfortunately so did everyone else.  Peyton's odds were against her and unfortunately she was beat out by the baby with the yellow bow.  

I was rather bitter.  I didn't realize you had to pimp your kid out in glittery bows and ruffle butts to fit in at a local fair.  I blame myself.  Next time we'll bring it!!

"First runner up"

Reunion part 3

Otto family

Off to Waverly, Iowa for the last leg of our family reunion tour.  We had fun at all the weekend events but Kinnick had the most fun of all.  Kinnick made friends with the neighboring ponies and enjoyed visiting them frequently!

Finally a puppy my size
