| Otto had his trip to Donut Bank Bakery! He LOVED the donuts!! |
We then went back to play with cousins at the grandparents house. For lunch we made homemade pizzas from Grandpa's recipe. The kids got to put whatever toppings they wanted on a piece of pita bread (I think).

The fun thing about August is that it is FULL of birthdays. Since we live 3 hours away from the family who celebrates (goes out to dinner), we try to do our own celebration at home. This year we stopped at Kroger on August 15 and bought an apple pic for Dad/Grandpa's birthday. He turned 25 this year! :)
 |
| Otto was all about celebrating Grandpa's birthday! |
A few days later we had some nasty storms roll through our area. The high winds ended up ripping out another chunk of our front tree. Thankfully, we have awesome friends and they came over to lend their chainsaw. Otto was waiting for his turn with it...

| Gimme that chainsaw Mr. Rob! |
On August 25th, we had our boy's 1st Birthday Circus! Grandma & Grandpa Geis drove down Friday evening & brought him his big present. A brand new toy box, hand-crafted by Grandpa & finished by Grandma! He LOVED it. He still LOVES it. From time to time he likes to get IN it.

The rest of the crew (Uncle Mike, Aunt Ashy, Claire & Owen) drove down Saturday morning to join us. Aunt Ashley made his INCREDIBLE birthday (she borrowed the tiger Raja from her kids Aladdin toys).
 |
| We found an awesome circus tent IKEA for the kids to play in |
 |
| The goodies: Popcorn, Animal Crackers, Chips, Pretzels, Fruit, Veggies, Cotton Candy, Hot Dogs, Candy & Cake!! |
