San Diego Vacation

Our Family 2013 Summer Vacation consisted of a trip to San Diego, CA. We stayed at a beautiful, super family-friendly resort with multiple pools, hot-tubs, slides, play structures, and activities. In addition to taking advantage of all the resort had to offer, we ventured out to play on the beaches, at Sea World, Balboa Park, and the Zoo.

Our girls are excellent travelers and we had a very enjoyable trip! 

Baby Boy McCoy

38 weeks and counting...
Our son should be making his debut any day now...hopefully sooner rather than later. :)
In the meantime, we took some pictures of the girls and I to try and help remember the pregnancy.

As most mothers know, when you become pregnant, your stomach is not the only area that grows. So, since I have been pretty active with this pregnancy, it was mandatory that I buy a new sports bra to hold me in while I am exercising. I was shocked at the price some people are willing to pay for such a small, unnoticed piece of "clothing!" But I caved and bought a really good quality one, knowing that I would continue using it post-delivery. 

Yesterday, Sam and I took the girls up to White Pass to hike up the mountain and I wore my new garment. Even though I was totally out of breath by the time we got to the top, I mentioned to Sam that I was really pleased with my new purchase and I told him that it "held the twins in well."

Unbeknownst to me, Genevieve heard my comment and said,
 "We are having twins?! Yes!!!"

 Try explaining that one to her! :)

Anyone emotional?

You know you're pregnant when:.....

You actually start CRYING on the phone to the Walmart manager while informing him that this is the 2nd time you have gotten home from grocery shopping and not all of your groceries made it into your bag.

 The girls ran their first "Kids Marathon" this weekend. They have been preparing for it for a few months now and it paid off. They ran their fastest time with smiles on their faces the whole way!

Honesty

Jocelyn made a picture for Sam. She showed it to me and explained that it was a picture of her and her daddy. She disappointingly said, "Only, I had to make daddy have brown hair because I didn't have a gray crayon."

The "New" Blog

In an attempt to satisfy those wanting to read a McCoy blog, and my inability to find spare time to write that blog, my husband suggested a compromise. "Blog Simply." This came about when I had mentioned a funny story to him regarding our daughter to which he told me "blog it!" No pictures needed, no long detailed story, just the basics. And so I am once again in the blogging world, mostly as a way to document things in our life, but hopefully to entertain my followers as well. :)

Yesterday, as we are driving in the car, we passed a man standing on the corner holding a large sign that says, "Will You Marry Me?" and on the other side says "Perry Jewelers." Jenna asked me why that man was asking me to marry him. I explained to her that it was a form of marketing and that Perry Jewelers sells engagement rings etc. She was quiet for a second and then said, "I guess I don't understand because I am a kid, and you understand it because you are an adult." I slightly chuckled but agreed with her that that was possible. She continued, "And plus, usually people on the corners hold signs that say 'Can you give me money?' "
