Golf Weekend and More

While Ron and Chad played golf in a tournament to benefit Pathways on Saturday and played golf at another course on Sunday - both at the Lake of the Ozarks area, Amanda, Peyton and I took the opportunity to visit Mark and Mary at their lake condo and of course, did some outlet mall shopping. Precious little Peyton is so adaptable and sleeps well wherever her pack 'n play lands. We all had a great time visiting and eating - and eating - and eating some more all weekend. Amanda, Peyton and I joined Mark and Mary at the boat races time trials - it was nice to be outside in the beautiful weather. The girls came back to Clinton Sunday morning and had lunch with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Mintun - what fun and great food. Grammy had a heavenly moment Sunday afternoon rocking Peyton and holding her while she took a little nap. What a fabulous weekend of family and fun.

Boy Scout Tournament

The Todds arrived on Friday night around 9 p.m. - Peyton is so adorable when they get here and she has been sleeping in her car seat. She sort of looks around at us, then her Mommy takes her to her crib and she goes right back to sleep for the rest of the night - she is such a flexible little thing. She seems a little surprised when she wakes up at Grammy's house, but goes with the flow.

Ron and Chad played golf in the Boy Scout Tournament Saturday morning. Amanda, Peyton and I headed to Great Grandma/pa's house after going to a few garage sales during Clinton's Fall City-Wide Sale. Peyton entertained, as usual, but got tired, so we came home for her to take a nap. Peyton was a real trooper while we ran to Walmart and Walgreens to run some errands.

It was short visit this time since the Todds went to a wedding in Wellington after the tournament. We'll take every minute we can get with our precious little Peyton and her Mommy!

Time with Family

What an odd Labor Day weekend! Too much rain, fog and overall nasty weather. Finally this afternoon is sunny and nice. Amanda, Chad, Peyton and Apollo arrived Friday evening - plans were for Ron, Chad and Amanda to play golf on Saturday, giving Grammy some one-on-one Peyton time, but.......that darn rain. Oh well, worked out great - I had time with Peyton AND Amanda which is always fun.

Us girls spent some time over at Great Grandpa/Grandma's so that Peyton could entertain them and show off her near-walking skills. She is quite good at pushing around her little baby doll stroller and takes a few steps alone once in a while. She is way ahead of schedule and is doing an awesome job. We are so blessed to have them fairly close by (although Clinton would be better, ha ha) so we can watch Peyton grow up and make memories with her - we love her so much!

Peyton is quite the accomplished eater - she loves everything you put in front of her. She is great at eating her baby food, but likes to feed herself finger foods - fruits, macaroni and cheese, broccoli, bananas, you name it - she likes it. And, she is quite fond of her yogurt melts. She is growing up really fast!
