1st day of School 2013-2014

My girls are starting 1st and 2nd grade today. It is literally hard for me to fathom! At any rate, they are amazingly excited and I am convinced they will have a great year!

Sea World 2007 vs 2013

Sam and I were in San Diego when Jenna was just a baby. Here is the same picture of Sam walking through the Polar Bear Tunnel at Sea World while holding Jenna in both 2007 and 2013. She has grown a bit hasn't she? And Sam looks the same...with the addition of a few strikingly handsome gray hairs! ;)

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!
