I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since we've seen you. Although the Skype conversation at Christmastime was sooo fun, I can't wait to see you both in person in 2 days!! It will be fun catching up. Everyone's excited to see you and welcome you home. <br />
<br />
A couple of things I am most looking forward to (and this is based on my own home-coming experiences) are: 1. Grocery shopping because I can't wait to see you in a regular grocery store and being overwhelmed by all of the choices and the prices too, plus you'll want to buy every single thing you've missed while being in South America all at once. 2. Not knowing how to say words in English because you either forgot them or there's a better one in Spanish and everything gets jumbled. 3. I'm interested to see how long of shower you will take the first few days you are home because it will feel so good you will never want to get out. 4. I also wonder what the first t.v. show, movie (I recommend Frozen for Mom and The Shadow Recruit for Dad), album, restaurant etc. you'll want to enjoy when you get home. 5. And lastly, I wonder if you'll still be getting up at 6:30 for your companionship study etc. hee hee!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm glad you're coming home. It's been a long time.... <br />

But before that, thx to those who have recently posted -- we thoroughly enjoy seeing and hearing about what's going on your lives. We've missed it. Yet at the same time it's almost like we have two families -- our beloved family in the States and our "loved ones" in Argentina. So how about some photos.<br />

We've seen some beautiful sunsets in Argentina too -- this shot taken from our balcony as well. <br />

<br />
This is Daniela, our previous branch president's daughter, to whom Mom had given a stash of goodies. So she gave Mom a treasure of her own -- a little plastic notebook, with a note that said "Ha sido muy bien conmigo -- te quiero mucho" -- you've been very good with me -- I love you a lot.<br />

<br />
A couple of north american sister missionaries who enjoyed speaking english with Mom. It's interesting what you begin to appreciate after a while -- comfortably conversing in your own native language becomes a delight.<br />

<br />
These sisters said they didn't have anything to give Mom as a going-away present, so the sister on the right drew some flowers on the black board for her. How sweet is that. The writing on the bottom says Happy Trip!<br />

<br />
Us and our sister missionaries (Hna Skirvin -- from the States and Hna Medina -- from Panama!) with sister Coca Oviedo -- a wonderful faithful member who feeds the missionaries a couple of times a week -- every week. In this picture I'm not a hunch-back, I'm just trying to keep my head out of the branches.<br />

This mother and daughter -- sister Espindola and sister Oviedo -- collaborated to make the dress Mom is wearing and gave it to her as a gift. They are both among our "loved ones" here in Argentina. <br />

Juan Torres on the left and Orlando Oviedo on the right -- two men whom I've come to love like brothers. I would entrust anything I have to either of them -- they are among the finest men I have ever known and I will miss them. <br />

A shot of all the missionaries who showed up to help us haul our luggage over to the bus terminal for our trip to Resistencia. Of course it helped to bribe them with pizza for lunch. What a great group of young people! We will miss them too. We have really come to love the missionaries. <br />

<br />
A shot of the bus terminal in Goya, Corrientes Argentina -- fairly typical of the facilities here. We finally pulled out about 1:30 pm Thursday, February 27, 2014 -- waving good-bye to all the missionaries and several members who showed up to see us off. Don't know when we'll get back, but we definitely left a part of our heart there.<br />
<br />
And now (February 28) we head home!! We've been anticipating this for nearly two years now -- and can't wait to see everybody. We have grandkids we haven't even seen yet and can't wait to get acquainted and play with them. And we have adult children and their spouses whom we love now more than ever. Thank you all for your love and support and prayers. Our feelings for you all are very tender and we're anticipating a grand reunion. <br />
<br />
Love you!!<br />

Dad and Mom <br />

What an experience it's been -- nothing like what we expected -- more intense, but the learning curve has been well worth it. Northern Argentina is a place all its own -- generally flat, dry, poor, and Catholic. The culture is a bundle of traditions that basically enslaves the people and retards their development. All this impacts the Church as well, which explains why there are few stakes in this area and only two temples in the whole country of 40 million people. And yet, there are wonderful people here whom we have come to love and will always remember! So we feel like we're done -- for now. But we're thinking we may come back some day and pick up where we left off trying to build up the Church in Argentina.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, let's see if we can get a few pics to post.<br />
<br />
Well, our connection isn't that good right now, so we'll try again tomorrow before we actually head to BA for our flight home on Friday.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">nothing like waiting until the last minute...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well, it appears that this mission business is coming to a rapid close</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so i best post something lest i look like i never post anything</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
life has been consumed with luscious lips (aka Beck) turning four last week</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i daresay it was the very best day of all his four years combined</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
it began with presents and birthday breakfast<br />
naturally, he requested chocolate cereal<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_2280_zps3f3d7733.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2280_zps3f3d7733.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_2280_zps3f3d7733.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
then he turned into a super hero for a while</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_2299_zpsc88b1db3.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2299_zpsc88b1db3.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_2299_zpsc88b1db3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
after a day of friends and sunshine it was prep time for Chuck E. Cheese<br />
where he ran away from Chuck E. and i really couldn't blame him<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_2369_zps0ff14915.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2369_zps0ff14915.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_2369_zps0ff14915.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
after chuck the lock-aloys came over for cake and ice cream<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_2411_zpsc105a2ea.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2411_zpsc105a2ea.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_2411_zpsc105a2ea.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
we took him to build-a-bear friday night to in fact, build a bear - which was darling and he loves<br />
saturday was the official shin dig with all the maniacs in the neighborhood<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_2415_zpsfadddd4e.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2415_zpsfadddd4e.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_2415_zpsfadddd4e.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
of course the bounce house was the biggest hit of all.<br />
beck has expected a bounce house for his fourth birthday ever since atticus had one for his two years ago<br />
and since luscious lips has us wrapped around his finger, we complied.<br />
<br />
PS - i chose this picture because darek looks exceptionally handsome here<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_2448_zps043fd8f5.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2448_zps043fd8f5.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_2448_zps043fd8f5.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
kennedy had less success jumping completely over darek<br />
but at least her hair looked awesome while she wiped out<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_2450_zpsfc39569c.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_2450_zpsfc39569c.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_2450_zpsfc39569c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
atticus was also present at this party, but opted against family bounce house photo shoot<br />
because he was far too busy assembling all of beck's lego gifts in the house<br />
<br />
but at least our kennedy girl was there to share the birthday love<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
it was a really fun, happy week for all of us, especially beck. he's just a happy little guy and seriously so hilarious. in fact, i'd even go as far as saying that he's my funniest kid, but if you tell atticus i said that i'll tell him you're a liar...<br />
<br />
life here is good. so busy and crazy but we are hanging in there. and i am telling no lies when i say that looking forward to the march madness mccoy family weekend is what gets us through life's chaos these days. we can't wait to see everyone, and especially the family's most recent returned missionaries! i'm pretty sure time is speeding up. no one else in the family's mission was over in a blink of an eye! something's fishy here. nevertheless, we are so proud of you g'ma and g'pa mccoy and can't wait to give you lots of love and besos the very second we see you again!<br />
<br />
until then - XOS - and make the very most of every last second<br />
because once you get home and re-acclimate to american life, you'll miss it a lot :)<br />
<br />
love you all!<br />
<br />
ps - i've spent aaaallll day catching up our family blog<br />
it's caught up thru october now if anyone cares to rewind time and see how halloween went for us last year.</div>

so glad we will get to see you guys in a little after a month. although I will say it will be weird to not be praying for you on your mission. put moms name in the temple last night to cover any health issues i've heard rumors of but don't know exactly what.<br />
<br />
love you guys thanks for the support. what doesn't kill you makes you stronger right? although I have been thinking of grandpa harstons phrase, life is hard and then we die....and then his later in life slogan that changed it a bit.<br />
<br />
anyway, enough talking here are some pictures of our family. ps. the weather has been amazing here. we really need rain but wow its all sunshine and perfect temperature<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Garlan
gave me a beautiful blessing before we left for the hospital. I was
promised peace, comfort, physical strength and an increase in love for
our new daughter. I was also promised to have the ability to know how to
divide my time and understand the love the Lord for choosing
motherhood. After the blessing I definitely felt ready to bring Sophie
into the world. I am so grateful for the power of the Priesthood and for
a husband who honors the power that he carries. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We
were blessed with a very easy and quick delivery. We went in to the
hospital for my induction on Sunday at noon. They started pit at 12:30,
had my epidural at 2pm, my water broke at 2:45 pm and after a couple
easy pushes she was born at 6:12 pm (during halftime of the Superbowl). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This
birth was extra special because my mom and really good friend Cherie
were there for the whole thing. It was the first grandchild for my mom
to be present at the birth. We both were able to talk about and shed
some tears over the miracle of birth and amazing blessing of
motherhood. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love our
sweet Sophie! She was Coombs positive so she had pretty bad jaundice for
about 6 days and had to be on lights at home. That was tough on all of
us (except her - she slept in her little coffin without complaint). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emma
is a great big sister and each day warms up to Sophie a little more. We
have been so lucky to have my mom with us for the past 2 weeks. I am
dreading her leaving tomorrow! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's
a whole new world being a mother of 2 and some moments I feel
completely overwhelmed. Blessed but overwhelmed. Thankfully I'm not
alone and Garlan is an amazing husband and father. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some pictures from the first two weeks of Sophie's life.</div>

Well we had quite the little mustache bash considering Jett was only turning 1. Just had some friends and a whole lot of kids over to party. The women wore mustaches, he had a mustache cake, fruit kebabs, rice krispy treats and cupcakes....we sang, he demolished his cake without eating a single bite, opened presents and had fun. He's finally somewhat back to normal and in happier spirits so his teeth must not be bothering him so much. We've been home-bound the past several days since this snow is still hanging around and i'm going CRAZY!! at least the Olympics are on so we're watching nonstop to keep us entertained.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Can't believe you guys are coming home early!! I was talking to Erin yesterday and we were joking that mom is just faking these "health problems" so you can come back a little sooner, hehe! Either way, doesn't matter for us, we'll still be there. Just 3 short weeks away! alrighty then, well work hard and get in all your Argentinian-ness that you can!!! love you, xos!</div>

Well hello there folks! I'm sure your countdown has begun and will go by in no time. While you're sweating out your pits in Argentina, we got a whole load of snow dumped on us yesterday which makes for some nice Olympic nostalgia watching. Everything's closed down around here and Dal is "working from home" today so it'll be a stay inside kind of day. We looked at a house yesterday so if our application is accepted, we'll be moving probably next month which will be fun b/c it'll have a backyard and more space. Plus it'll be a new ward and closer to dal's work so we'll see. </div>

Not much else is new around here really. Jett turns 1 on Sunday so we're having some friends over for a party. It's mustached themed so it should be fun. He's a funny little man and so cute i can't even stand it. Been super cranky this week tho, getting them teeth in so we're on a love/hate relationship at the moment. Good thing is he takes 3 hr. naps when he's like this so that makes up for it a little. </div>

Welp, I've got my flight to Vegas for the 19th leaving from Portland and staying til Sunday so the whole clan will be together again!! Super excited and it'll be such a blast. Ok that's it for now. I'll put stuff up from Mister's bday bash. XOS!</div>

Us on Christmas day with elder Riley Gates from St George. He's a 19 year-old counselor in a branch presidency, has a full-ride scholarship waiting for him to play baseball at BYU, and we think he'd go pretty good with Kenzie. (haha)<br />

Meet our friends Dom and Lia Rohde -- he's German, she's Argentine, they have 7 children and the whole family speaks three languages -- German, Spanish and English. They're starting up a big pecan farm here in Goya and plan to export pecans all over the world. When they're not doing that, he's the president of the World Peace Forum which puts on a conference every year in Luxembourg for peace advocates from all over. They're really down to earth people and we've enjoyed getting acquainted.<br />

A shot of the "costanera" along the Parana' River. The authorities had to shut down all the swimming areas along the river recently because of piranas in the water -- the stuff you see in movies. <br />

A real live Goucho out at the Rohde's farm. They still ride horses and work the land and live stock like they've been doing for hundreds of years. But now they have their own union and government retirement program -- pretty cool. <br />

Mom's had some health issues lately one of which involved an infected "tumor" on her hand which had to be surgically removed (a story in itself) so the ZL's had everybody write get-well cards for her and then of course took pictures afterwards -- a very thoughtful gesture. <br />
<br />

<br />
As if the get-well cards weren't enough, elder Gates and his comp ordered a cake for Mom and brought it over the other night. The inscription reads "Gracias Familia McCoy" -- he's really a thoughtful young man. <br />
<br />
Well, there ya have it -- the latest happenings from the far south. Can't believe it's almost over -- just about 6 more weeks and we're done!! What a ride!! We're really looking forward to seeing everybody -- it's been a pretty long two years, but the lessons we've learned have been invaluable. So see ya'll very soon.<br />
<br />
Love you all very much -- XOS!!!<br />
Dad & Mom<br />

How are things down south? We are moving right along in the new year and busy already. (I don't think we were ever not busy, but Christmas break was really nice.) Christmas was low-key and fun. We got together with the Morley's on Monday night and then the Tonioli's on Christmas Eve and had lots of fun playing games and eating. New Year's again found us at Tonioli's hanging out and eating. We had fondue which was fun and nostalgic for me, but no hotdogs to be found. (Those were my fave growing up.)<br />
<br />
Then school started up again and we've been immersed back into that cruel world. haha Homework, projects, field trips. Yay! We're putting the kids into a charter school next year and hoping we like it better than the local junior high and elementary that they've gone to.<br />
<br />
Alex turned 12 last week and had a fun "Hunger Games" party. This entailed inviting lots of friends, stockpiling bean bags, hackey sacks, nerf guns and ammo, then heading down to the park, and at the word "go" either running for "weapons" or running to hide while everyone tried to "kill" everyone else. The rounds would last about 10 min. and it was funny to watch as people would set up alliances then break them. They played for about 2 hrs. and Alex still didn't think that was long enough. It was pretty fun and also funny.<br />
<br />
Yesterday Alex also received the Aaronic Priesthood. It was a nice moment. Tony and Alisha came, Rosemary, Benton and his kids, and the Tonioli's. It's nice to have people to help commemorate special occasions.<br />
<br />
Next up I get to "celebrate" (rather, try to forget) my 42nd birthday. What is happening? I am not that old! Then, lest we somehow forget, (completely unlikely since she talks about it daily starting around Jan. 1) we will celebrate Vienna's 9th birthday. Hmmmm, should she have a dance party like last year? Or a Littlest Pet Shop party? Or perhaps a pig party? hahahahaha She's a funny one!<br />
<br />
We are also in the thick of the Culture Celebration practices for the Gilbert Temple open house. It started Jan. 18th and will go until Feb. 19th or something. It will be the biggest temple celebration ever. I am sooo glad that at least two of the kids are able to participate. It will be amazing. We are taking the family through on Feb. 5th on Vienna's bday. I thought that would be memorable.<br />
<br />
Other news, Rob just got released from the High Priests Quorum. We'll see what's next up for him. He'd like to teach Sunday School and I hope he does, then I can go in there with him. The adult Sunday School class is sort of a snooze fest. <br />
<br />
So! There you have it! Just a few short more weeks till we'll see you in WA!!! Yay! <br />

Hello there folks! Happy New Year! We've had a busy Christmas break with lots of driving but some fun times for sure. Headed to nappy Pasco after our Christmas here and stayed a few days and then to Graham for the New Year party! It was bitter cold over on the eastern side but that didn't stop Brynn from wanting to be outside to see the horse and cows and cats and dog. She was in heaven. She also got a trampoline which she LOVES. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We stayed back in your dungeon at the house and PS it's butt cold in there! Didn't get to bed til super late and Jett had a rough night which meant little sleep for us but it was only for 1 night. We hung out with Mars and Paul, played games and watched a movie to bring in the new year. Brynn and Jett didn't know what to do with themselves there were so many toys! Presley and my babies were super cute together too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also we celebrated the day of my birth and dal treated me to a hair appointment, some new clothes and dinner from Applebee's. It was a nice day to hang out and have fun. Dal is thinking he wants to get a masters in computer science so we've been researching schools all over but the only problem is most deadlines are Jan. 15 and he has NO prereqs. plus he has to take the GRE. I think it's a little too late so i don't know what's going to happen with that. Looks like if he does do it, there's nothing he can start until fall 2015 which means he's going to be like 35 when he's done...NOT A FAN of that. Maybe i should just make the big bucks! OK well that's it for now. Dal got ran off the road a few weeks ago and this is how the car looks now. Glad it wasn't worse or that it was the camry. Anyway...keep on keeping on! xos!</div>

We have tried and tried to upload pictures to this blogio, and finally got creative and figured out a different way to do it! Here are some to share for now. We have had a great year and love this time of year where we can be together and reflect on our blessings. We truly are grateful for each of you in our life. Sorry we hadn't sent out a Christmas letter but figured this will be it for now. </span></div>

we've had a busy few weeks around here and sadly never got around to sending out cards this year. thank you to those of you who are clearly more organized and i and sent some out. we loved getting them and they are now adorning our kitchen cabinets. i figured i'd post a few pictures here and we could pretend it counts for a card...yes?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
besides and gym and last minute shopping we were mostly home on christmas eve<br />
some friends stopped by to drop off treats which were pretty much eaten by the time they left<br />
and we cleaned and prepped for christmas day<br />
and naturally the kids found their way to the mudhole<br />

we spent the eve of christmas day at the east side mccoy's celebrating the twins' birthday<br />
and playing games. it was the perfect end to the day. we are so lucky to have so much family that lives in town. it makes this time of year especially great. we love you all and are grateful for each of you. we think of you often and pray for you and your families. we are grateful for our Savior and are aware daily how much we need Him in our lives and hearts. we hope you all had the merriest of christmases.<br />

Merry Christmas!! Why didn't we skype? I guess we'll be seeing you in just a few short months though so we'll have plenty of time to catch up. I write to you from my new chromebook for which was the best ever. We stuck around here for the Christmas festivities and it was a little more fun this year now that Brynn is older. She LOVED opening all the presents and Jett didn't really care so much which worked well for her opening excitement. We'll be going to Pasco on Sat. for a few days and then Puyallup for the New Year! </div>

Katie's wedding in SLC was FREEZING but so fun to see all the old roommates again. Lots of girl talk and late nights. Plus G ended up being in town still so we got to hang out a bit and then it was home again. Dal did not get that UT job so we shall not be neighbors unfortunately...unless something else comes along. Pretty dang frustrating if you ask us! Ok well, we didn't really take many Christmas day pictures and we've been busy watching all the movies we got so i'll have to post more later once we're home again. </div>

WELL, that's what we have for now! Maybe more coming after Christmas Day : ) Tomorrow we drive the kids to Utah and then Paul and I will fly to WA to visit for a week. Looking forward to seeing family and friends! Love you both and pray for your safety and success. Just know that we are thinking of you more often than our communication reflects. See you shortly, these blog posts are numbered!!</div>

<br />
celebrating the early december birthdays at the east side mccoy's house last sunday<br />
<br />
kennedy - 2<br />
kenzie - 17<br />
brandon -60<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_1725_zps7aaca3d2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_1725_zps7aaca3d2.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_1725_zps7aaca3d2.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
apparently kennedy was slightly horrified by brandon's blowing of the candles<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_1721_zpse9981bc8.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_1721_zpse9981bc8.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_1721_zpse9981bc8.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
and much more careful with her own candle<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_1731_zps05309386.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_1731_zps05309386.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_1731_zps05309386.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
which i made her do twice since i'm OCD about picture-taking<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_1761_zps17d4caa3.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_1761_zps17d4caa3.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_1761_zps17d4caa3.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
she then unabashaedly ate the frosted top off her cupcake<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_1747_zps2fbcd83b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_1747_zps2fbcd83b.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_1747_zps2fbcd83b.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
and handed me the rest<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_1771_zpsa31474b8.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_1771_zpsa31474b8.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_1771_zpsa31474b8.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
then started again<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_1765_zpsac8299a1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_1765_zpsac8299a1.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_1765_zpsac8299a1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
peeking into her presents <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_1804_zps841b4889.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_1804_zps841b4889.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_1804_zps841b4889.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
coloring her gift from the lockwood/maloy clan<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_1793_zps4927cb7e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_1793_zps4927cb7e.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_1793_zps4927cb7e.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
and kissing her gift from the other mccoys<br />
hoot hoot<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_1821_zpsd84e92bd.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_1821_zpsd84e92bd.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_1821_zpsd84e92bd.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
on her actual birthday we did a birthday breakfast and present-opening in the morning<br />
well mostly atticus did the present-opening because he's a real helpful brother like that<br />
<br />

<br />
we also visited bass pro shop last weekend for our annual free family picture with santa<br />

kennedy just asked to be rescued from santa<br />

safe only in her brother's arms <br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
<a href="http://s146.photobucket.com/user/mccoyblog/media/IMG_1851_zpsb429aa92.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_1851_zpsb429aa92.jpg" border="0" src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/mccoyblog/IMG_1851_zpsb429aa92.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">pssst, darek...that's a kid's game </span><br />

Glad you guys got to have a nice day with some fellow missionaries. You guys have ipads yet? Most of the elders here are getting them so they can skype other people around the world and teach that way. No more tracting, say what? Bunch of lazy missionaries these days i swear....pretty cool tho huh? We've had baptisms like crazy around here: one guy's been coming with his wife for over 30 years and finally decided to join. Most people didn't even know he wasn't a member!!! Then another one tonight and I've been in charge of the refreshments table which is SO not my thing but I had lots of help and it's been pretty cool to have so many baptisms here. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our turkey day started with Dal playing tackle football-only injury was a cleat to the neck; I went to the gym; we made pies and stuffing and rolls; Dal's cousins and a coworker friend came over for the festivities and we just hung out and had a nice time; BLACK FRIDAY deal of the day--we scored a sweet TV finally and we totally lucked out b/c Wal Mart was insane which was our first plan of attack but then there was a better deal online at Best Buy but then they couldn't ship to our area BUT THEN it said available in-store so Dal went at like 11pm, walked right in and they had like 3 left! It felt like Christmas getting it all set up so late at night with babies sleeping except it was our present, not theirs!! Plus we went to Target that night too and i stood in line for an hour and we got a blu-ray so we have netflix and pandora and YouTube and everything else everyone else has had for years and years! Target wasn't as bad as Wal Mart(plus it's walking distance) and i got a bunch of clothes for Jettmeister and stocking stuffers so it was fun. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Been nice to all be together at home and just play. Jett has been walking now for a while and follows Brynn EVERYWHERE! That kid is her shadow...has to try whatever she does which has resulted in a constant supply of bruises, scratches or blood. The dude is accident prone! Alright, well let me know when you get your package...hopefully before you come home! Good to hear from you both and take care. Love you love you, xos!</div>

Glad several of you were able to get together for the weekend. Have to say we were just a little envious but we had a good time feeding our missionary zone. As you can see, they thoroughly enjoyed it -- it's not very often they get to just relax and enjoy a good meal together. You might also notice that they all have on T-shirts -- the ZL's had shirts silk-screened with everybody's "nick-name" and area of labor -- a big hit and a nice mission memory. <br />

This is a little private park area along the river that Mom and I went to for a picnic the other day. It was so tranquil and nice -- complet with a tire-swing. Nearby was a boat launch which several locals used to put their boats in the water -- it brought back a lot of memories of all our trips to the lake to ski and picnic -- sweet times for sure.<br />

This is Daiana -- one of Mom's piano students. She made Mom the little box she's holding -- it has a humming bird on the cover -- without knowing of course that Mom's partial to humming birds. She's really a sweet girl and one of the many that we're going to miss when we go home -- but we're still going home!! <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, thank you all again for your love and support -- we're getting really anxious to see everybody.<br />

I apologize the lighting is not very good but it's better than nothing I guess! I sure hope you feel our love even though you are so far away during the holidays but at least it's the last time : ) Well, until you serve another mission or something. Things are going well here. We love being in Vegas and seeing family regularly, we love the weather too. The kids are making some great friends and we stay busy with go-karting, guitar lessons, gymnastics, bball in the driveway, swimming (well when it's a bit warmer), shooting guns in the dessert, workout classes, school, church callings, going to get-togethers, playing Bunco, doing projects, planting palm trees, painting, hanging up pictures, going to birthday parties, and anything else we can think of!! Looking forward to you coming to visit : )<br />

Hey, by the way, did you ever get the package I sent forever ago? I sure hope so. Anyway, we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I'll take some pictures over the weekend with people in town. I promise! Well, here's the video for now.

So I thought I'd upload a few pictures since they are worth 1000 words and that might help tell the story.<br />

Here we are in front of the mammoth ship that is called Oasis of the Seas as we docked in Falmouth, Jamaica. There were 6,000 people on board. We had so much fun. The kids had a great time. One of our best vacations. The other stops were Labadee, Haiti which is owned by the cruise line, and Cozumel, Mexico where we did some snorkeling.<br />
<br />

This was our zipline crew. They were wonderful and since we were the only ones there that day we got the full VIP treatment. The kids weren't afraid at all. I tried to upload a video, but couldn't. If I ever get it figured out I'll try again.<br />

<br />
Miniture-golf was a popular activity for the kids on board. They played daily. There was also a rock-climbing wall and nightly soccer on the sports court with the English speakers vs the Spanish speakers. Alex loved it and got lots of practice in that week.<br />

This is, of course, Roger's funeral. It was such a beautiful service. The kids each had their moments, but did really well. I did place a rose on the casket as you requested. He is already missed greatly. It still doesn't seem real. But we know he is busy with the work on the other side.<br />

Halloween 2013 brought us a Pirate, Where's Waldo, and MorphMan. I'm not really sure what the morph suit is all about, but that's what Alex wanted to be. The head was too small so he didn't even wear it after the picture. Hey, I'm just the mom, what do I know? Reagan's was a last-minute find and Vienna's was a combo of stuff I had from Alex and my friend Julie.<br />

<br />
I went to Goodwill looking for Halloween stuff and had looked through all of the stuffed animals for a parrot, because what good is a pirate without her trusty squawking parrot? None to be found. I got distracted by so many other things and last-minute decided to look through some open bins full of random toys and with a little digging came up with the perfect parrot to complete the outfit. I love it when that happens!!! She was a happy pirate all night long.<br />

This is us with our good friends, the Garrison's, after we'd completed a 5k obstacle race last Saturday. No, that's not snow in the background, it's foamy soap bubbles or something. The shirts say, "Obstacles on course are closer than they appear". Ha Ha We had a great time and are already planning on doing it again next year. We would've had Alex participate, but it's for ages 13 and up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Reagan finished her swim season and the coaches have asked her to return to her club team so she can continue to improve her times. That was encouraging for her. Alex and Vienna are finishing up their soccer seasons in the next few weeks. All continue to do well in school.<br />
<br />
We are eagerly anticipating the dedication of the Gilbert Temple in March. Our stake will participate in the cultural event that will proceed that. There are lots and lots of people who are very interested in going through the open house and we will be taking several friends to see it.<br />
<br />
So, in a nut-shell, that's what we've been up to. It's hard to believe, with the exception of the race, all the other photos are just what took place in October! What a whirl-wind month that was. Sorry we haven't been in better touch. We think of you and pray for you daily. We are anxious to have you back! Love and kisses!! XOS<br />

We can't wait to get back and play with those cute little babbies. But in the meantime, we've had some interesting experiences we thought we'd share and then we have some pics.<br />
<br />
One morning a few weeks ago the mission president called and asked us to focus primarily on one struggling little branch here in Goya. We decided what we'd do is first search out less-active previous leaders and invite them to come back and help rebuild the branch. Later that same day we were at a little produce store and in walks an older sophisticated looking gentleman who milled around while waiting for Mom to make her purchases and upon seeing our name tags eventually introduced himself as a member of the Church. Lo and behold he is a former District President who'd fallen into inactivity but had recently felt the need to return. We shook hands and I invited him to come back telling him that the Church still needed him. Come to find out he and his wife had been having some serious difficulties but they came to Church anyway and have continued to come for the past several weeks. Today he stood up and bore his testimony and paid a tender tribute to his wife of 44 years, after which she stood and tearfully thanked the Lord for the return of her husband. He's also accepted the calling to serve as the priesthood quorum instructor and is an outstanding teacher. So what are the chances we would run into each other in a little produce store the very day the mission president called and asked us to focus on this struggling little branch? There are no coincidences in the Lord's work.<br />
<br />
Another experience we recently had was visiting an elderly inactive member who was one of the first to join the Church here in Goya -- a bonafide pioneer. He is now in his 80's, blind, and confined to a wheel chair, having had his right leg amputated at the hip. We visited for some time and offered what comfort and encouragement we could and were about to leave when he asked for a priesthood blessing. He had his caretaker daughter wheel him inside their little home and after the branch president annointed him we both placed our hands on his soiled head. As I sealed the annointing and began to pronounce a blessing upon him I could feel the love the Lord has for this seriously disabled but faithful old man. I began to feel emotional and heard myself promise him that the Lord has a place prepared for him in the Celestial Kingdom. This man who has suffered so much under such deprived circumstances has a place waiting for him in the kingdom of our Father. God is indeed no respecter of persons -- all He cares about is what's in our heart.<br />
<br />
Finally, we were visiting another less-active family one night -- a young man and his wife and two small children. He comes from a large extended family of members but had slipped into inactivity. We chatted for a while and per usual invited him to come back and enjoy all the blessings the Church has to offer. Just as we were about to leave he asked if he could share something. So he related a dream he'd recently had and wanted to know what it meant. He said he envisioned the Savior walking on the surface of a river toward him and as he got closer he was captivated by what he saw. But then the figure he was watching turned and he could see a tail sticking out behind him. He was confused by that and wondered what it meant. As soon as he related the dream it was as though the interpretation was given to me and I told him the person he saw was a false Christ -- someone who was attempting to deceive him and he needed to be very careful. I told him he was at a cross roads and he needed to follow the right path -- and that path was activity in the true Church. He began to attend Church again, last week was ordained an Elder, and today bore his testimony thanking his Father in Heaven for the blessing of the priesthood in his life -- which he said is much better now that he's active again in the Church. What a fine young man who just needed a little encouragement. <br />
<br />
Well, those are just a few of the kinds of experiences we're having regularly. This mission has been a sacrifice and challenge, but when we think of these kinds of things, we're thankful the Lord has permitted us to participate in his great plan of redemption.<br />
<br />
Now let's see if we can get a few pics to post.<br />

This is 12 year-old Daniela -- our branch president's daughter playing "jacks" -- "cachua" in spanish. But there's no rubber ball -- she just tosses a rock up in the air and tries to gather the other rocks in her hand and then catch the rock in the air before it hits the ground. She's pretty good.<br />

Just us with a couple of our missionaries and the branch RS president -- who's only been a member of the Church for about a year.<br />

Guess we'll close with this one -- your friendly neighborhood senior missionaries posing in front of the Parana' River on a beautiful spring day. There are some really nice areas down here -- and this is one of them. <br />
<br />
So adios for now. Thank you all for your posts and personal e-mails -- we really appreciate them and more than that, we really appreciate all of you -- our beloved family. We love you and can't wait to be together again.<br />
<br />
XOS,<br />

Didn't do a whole lot b/c Mandi had to work late so we just walked around the neighborhood as other kids were out trick-or-treating. She wasn't too excited about posing for pics as you can see. Eventually I left the bucket 'o candy on the front porch and watched Best of Chris Farley with my neighbor. Emma had a sucker so she was happy sitting there. Then we went to Manda's co-workers haunted house that he puts on every year. Quite the setup and apparently it was a little too scary for Emma. She started crying as we were in the first room so I had to take her out. Literally scared the poop out of her b/c I had to change her diaper right after that! (she had a dirty diaper already but that makes the story sound better).<br />
<br />
Anyway, pretty low-key this year but here are some pics nonetheless.<br />

We had our ward carnival last night which they couldn't have cared less about and then we went to the trunk or treat at the church tonight which lasted all of about 15 minutes...there was hardly anyone there SO all the candy and good stuff i was expecting to steal off my 19 month old didn't happen. Oh well. It was still fun to see them dressed up so cute. We went as African safari tourists and they were the wild animals we photographed but people didn't really get it. Lame. Until next year when we come up with our next idea. And of all the stuff to eat, Brynn chose an apple. We did just visit the dentist tho...ok xos!</div>
