VIVA LAS VEGAS/CALIFORNIA!!

A couple of weeks ago, we were able to go on a vacation with our great friends, Dillon, Kim and sequoia! Our 1st day we drove to Las Vegas and stayed the night in the Luxor Hotel which was really fun. When we got there we went swimming for a couple of hours, then went out and got some dinner at a buffet where dillon seriously ate his weight in crab legs... kinda gross! then walked the strip which was really interesting... as you can see the street freaks with ollie, Poor little guy was asleep and woke up with these two standing next to him!

catching up..

Lets see... here are lots of pictures of oliver from the past couple of months...

So I officially suck at blogging... I'm not really ever to busy I just like spending time with my little boy and not to mention it is so hard to blog when he is around because he will either turn off the computer or come up and slam on the keys. Anyways he is now asleep and Ryan is playing his xbox there for i have nothing to do so all blog. Lets see the past month we have not really been up to much. When it's nice outside during the days you can almost guarantee that me and Oliver are at the park or doing something outside. He will literally stand at my back door or point to my front door until we go outside it gets old but he loves it and it makes him happy. So the month of April was a little crazy... but turned out OK first my sister moved back to Florida which most of you know reading earlier posts and we are happy but sad then a couple of weeks later Ryan's dad was having some heart issue so he was scheduled to go in and get a stint put in, they scheduled his surgery got in there and the doctor decided not to go ahead with it because his heart was worse than he thought. so he got out of surgery was admitted into the ICU and the next days had to get open heart surgery.. Triple bypass, we were all so nervous and shocked because Ryan's dad had never had any health issues but everything went well and he is doing great. It's amazing and scary to me all the trials people have to go through in life... Easter this year was great if I had it my way I would want it on conference Sunday every year, It was nice not having to go anywhere and especially dress up for church, We went to my parents that day and my mom had made a great dinner and had a fun Easter egg for the grandkids. Oliver had fun but still has no idea. Speaking of him he is getting so fun I think he is slowly coming out of his busy stage but lately he climbs up on everything.. so that is scary cause I feel that I am always saving his life.. I swear it's a matter of time before stitches, I hate saying that but he is a wild child and love every minute of his wildness. there are times that I get impatient and just have to remind myself that I wanted this little boy to be just as he is!!

What's new..

For some reason it's not letting me add any pictures so all just tell you what we have been up to and then maybe post some pictures later. We have not really been up to anything we both just can't wait for spring/summer to get here. I guess the only different thing in our lives is that I switched my work schedule around so that I am home all day everyday and I only work 3 nights a week. I love being home with Oliver even though he is such a busy body, he is into everything but I love it, sometimes I have to remind myself but I feel so lucky to be with him everyday and not to have to worry about babysitters! Oliver is almost 13month He is walking all over the place, he says mama, Dada. Boo for book, puppy, molly, papa, baw for ball and barks like a dog and can moo like a cow! I also have been trying to sign with him he can do more and please.. that's about it, all keep trying!
My sister Stacey and her husband decided to move back to Florida. They left this last Friday and got there on Monday so they made really good time, We are all sad and excited for her at the same time she loves it and so were happy for her, I guess that's just and excuse to go to Florida more often.

"Oh they grow up so fast!"

This coming Friday, February 12th, 2010 will mark the one year anniversary of the day that changed our lives forever!

On a cold snowy day one year ago, I was able to meet Oliver for the first time. An emotional, spiritual, and exhilarating experience. From that moment, we have been best buds. He has changed so much in 12 months that it is hard to fathom. He went from "I wish he would just do something." to "Geez kid! Sit still!" Tami has posted lots of the fun things we have been able to do all year, so I thought I would do his birthday post.

Before I had one of my own, I always thought how lame it sounded when people said. "Oh they grow up so fast." Ya know what, they really do "grow up so fast!" How cheesy was it when people would just show you picture after picture of their kids on their cell phones. Guess what my cell phone is full of? Anyway, without further ado, here is how we celebrated the 1st Birthday of Ollie...

The time: 2:00pm m.s.t.
The place: Chuck E. Cheese, Orem, UT
The date: 02/06/2010
The event: A shindig of Epic proportions in Oliver Obergs honor

We invited a few of Ollie's closest friends and our families to come hang out and eat some yummy cake. Oliver's favorite animal is a Dog, he is obsessed with Angus and Molly, so we thought it only fitting to give him a Doggy Birthday cake. Tami has a friend at work that did a superb job making this happen. She made a multi-layered masterpiece complete with a rice crispey head. And even through Ollie a Bone! The cake was a huge hit (not only by the party guests, but as I was carrying it in, everybody commented on how neat it was.)

Knowing that we would be having a disaster zone after the cake, we did presents first. His attention span may be a little longer now that he is a year old, but it still tops out at about 30 seconds. He got a lot of really nice gifts, and kept wanting to play with one rather than moving to the next present. Oh well, it was fun.

We had always hope that Oliver wouldn't be a little wussy man, and would just dive into his cake. Well, we got our wish. Literally! After poking it once or twice, Ollie just face planted into the cake. Looking like a suckerfish in an aquarium, all we could see were his little pulsating cheeks sucking down frosting. He would surface for air occasionally, smiling and looking around for a bit before diving right back in. I hope everyone enjoyed the show, I know we did! I will throw in a short video for those that could not be there.

After the cake everyone just kind of hung out and played the games. The party was a lot of fun, I know Tami and I really had a good time. And speaking on behalf of Oliver, "Thank you for coming, thanks for your support, thanks for the wicked awesome presents, and I love all of you! I had a smashing good time! Now I need to go get whats left of my cake out of my clothes, hair, and diaper!"

Today me and Ryan went up to Sundance snowboarding. It was so much fun, I had never been before so I was a little scared, mostly of the lift.. I know that's funny but I pretty much ate it and I saw a lot of people do that so I felt ok about it. I just laughed! Ryan on the other hand he is like a pro, he was so sweet to stay back with me and go slow! Thanks so much for the date it was much needed and I had a blast!!!
