What we've been doing.

Kota playing Guitar hero with Kimi.

Kota had his first ride on the 4-wheeler.

It was so cold but he still just smiled away.

His new trick. His toes are now his favorite toy to play with now especially since he can stick them in his mouth.

The result from trying to get to his toes.

Las Vegas

We decided to get away for the New Year. My family (The Miyasaki side) was having new years in Las Vegas and we decided to join in. So Kota got to go on his 1st airplane ride. It was so great cause we got to fly right out of Idaho Falls.

Kota did so great. When the plane started it did startle him a little, but other than that he just played the whole way there.

Here is his face at take off.

Everyone (well almost everyone) dressed up 70's style. We went shopping that day to find our outfits. We usually aren't one's that enjoy dressing up but I have to admit that it was pretty fun and I would definitely do it again.

Aaron, Me, & Kota

Aaron had some really nice tight pants on if you are lucky I'll get him to wear them again.

There were others that dressed up but we didn't get their pictures so sorry anyone that we didn't post.

Here is what Kota was doing at midnight.

Back in the cold of Idaho.

Kota 4 months old

Kota is getting harder and harder to take pictures of. This is one of my favorites. Especially with the drool. I'm pretty sure that he is going to fill out the 12 month old onesie in a couple of months.

Late but not forgoten...

I still can't believe that December was here and gone. Here are some pictures from our christmas.
