Here are some pictures of cute Koby...He was posing for the camera the other day and I thought it was just too cute! He had oreos the other day and just loved them. He sat on my lap for along time just eating them, watching TV with me. He has been so fun lately. He is starting to copy things that we do and to even sometimes do what we ask him to do. Trust me it isn't very often but it is so fun to realize that he is understanding what we are saying. He has this smile that is just too cute! It is so crazy to think how much I want him to be happy. I want him to be a good boy and I want him to learn all that he can. I am so exited for this newe year and how much he will change. It is so fun to watch him grow. (note: I think that the Biggest Loser is on in the background. I love this show and am so sad that Jerry got sent home...but hopefully next week whats her name will get voted off...the black chick)

Here are a few pictures of Christmas. We spent it in Snowflake with my family. We had such a good time with everyone. The kids are getting so big and they would go upstairs and play with eachother or when the kids would go to bed we stayed up and played cards...even the boys played. We laughed alot and I just wanted to say how much I love my family. This year our gifts for eachother had to be homeade. It was hard to come up with ideas and then it took more work than usual to actually make the gifts but I think everyone would agree that they meant so much more than something you would just go out and buy at the store. Koby didn't really know what was going on at Christmas but he enjoyed playing with all the new toys. He got these sores in his mouth and did not feel well the whole time we were there. I felt relaly bad for him because it looked like it hurt really bad. His poor gums would bleed and he wouldn't eat. Poor guy. but all in all we had a great time. I'm so glad Kaleb was able to have off this year. I know it won't be like that always and I'm just really grateful for this year.

Over Christmas we went sledding up in Pinedale at my Grandparents house and we had such a blast. I actually didn't want to go at first because I hate to be freezing..I know I'm a party pooper but I've decided that it would be a great tradition if there is snow. Grandma Brimhall made cookies and hot chocolate for us and it was perfect. Koby slept the whole time which is ok. He will probably like it more next year anyway.

Christmas Tree Lighting and Santa

We went to the Christmas Tree Lighting in Snowflake on the 1st and had a great time! We waited in line for Santa..which was well hard because Koby wanted down to walk around and explore. Luckily Aunt Allee grabbed a bag of candy and kept him busy for a bit. Once he got up to Santa he was really cute and smiled and was looking at the elves. I didn't get a great picture but oh well I guess. After the lighting we went to my Aunt Bets and had awesome Italian food. We were able to stay the night and then make a session at the temple the next morning. I love going to the temple and just feeling peace. Its the feeling of being where your supposed to be when your supposed to be there. The feeling that everything else doesn't matter. I'm so grateful for the things that we learn there. Every time I go I just feel PEACE.

Heres us! I love the lights and the feeling of Christmas time!

Aunt Allee was such a big help! She just had her wisdom taken out that day too!

Kaleb and Koby...Kaleb hates doing this but you have to take picutres!

It is hard to believe that little Koby was this big a year ago. He has gotten so big and is learning so much!

Koby turns one, bottle is bye-bye, and mama is growing

Well Mr Ohia turned 1 on the 14th and it was so fun! Kaleb was home that day so we made cakes, cupcakes, potatoe salad and cleaned up the house. It is fun to kind of plan a party and get all ready for it. I loved the way the cake turned out and I loved how Koby dug into it! He loved all of his presents and was way funny! Erin and Josh brought their video camera so we have most of it on tape which is so fun, thanks so much! Then on Saturday we went to Snowflake to haul wood with my family which was fun. My mom gave Koby this cute barn set that moo's and sings "old McDonald had a Farm" and Koby loves it! I just can't believe how fun it was for me to see him turn one and to have a little party! I know I'm a crazy mom.

About two weeks ago we gave up the bottle. Koby started to kind of get fussy and I didn't really know why, I was trying to limit his bottles and it just wasn't working and my mom suggested to just throw away the bottles...so I did and Koby did great! Its like he knew that my mom and I were talking about it because when I went to lay him down (without a bottle) he just layed down and didn't even cry at all and did the same thing for every nap that first day so I threw them away! Yea, no more cleaning out bottles and no more buying formula!!!! That deserves like a huge Huray!

Me well, I am growing I tell ya! I'm getting excited because we find out what we are having next Wednesday, one week from today! My mother in law is going to watch Koby so not only will we get to find out but it will be a date, and a long one at that!! We haven't been so good at doing the date thing so I LOVE it when we get to. I make such a big deal out of it and I think Kaleb is embarressed but I don't care! Well maybe I will get brave enough to take a picture of my growing belly. I didn't take any belly shots with Koby and now I think it would be kind of cool to see how big I was. I mean I know I was big but you forget how big...(do I want to remember?) Well I know this is an extremely long post and I am sorry but Koby is asleep and the dishes, vacuuming, sweeping and mopping are done so lay off.

Having a kid puts a whole new meaning to Halloween. It even brings out the kid in me and you know I sort of wanted to dress up. Maybe next year since I'll have two that will mean double duty and I'll really dress up. Kaleb had to work so he didn't get home until 6:30 then we went over to my in laws and just hung out and had fun getting some trick or treaters at their house. Koby would run over to the door when the bell rand and would just stand there and stare at the kids in costume. He must have thought that was really weird. I'm kind of bummed, well we carved pumpkins on Monday night which was very fun, the whole time Kaleb was telling me that we were carving them too early and I thought no its fine. Well we forgot to buy candles to put in them so I regret to say that our carved pumpkins that we spent 6 bucks a piece on sat on our counter and by the time yesterday arrived we had purchased candles but I they were so moldy that I did not want to stick my hand in them...lesson for next year..carve them later...or listen to kaleb...or carve them early, remember candles and stick them outside and light them and stuff, so you do really realize the are getting so gross?...
