Update

Well we are all moved into our new place! Super excited to be done with that! I will post pictures soon. I don't have Internet up and running yet at the new place so when I get that taken care of I will post pictures.

I also have some new video and pictures of Ryan to post that are really cute stuff!

But for now - please take a minute to vote on my poll! We find out the sex of the baby on November 6th, but I want your opinion! :) You can also vote on Facebook :)

Hey - Remember Me?

Well I have seriously lacked on the blog lately and I apologize! This is my favorite time of year so I will try to do better!

So what on earth is going on with the Hoy Family? Well, I'm about 16 weeks pregnant and this pregnancy has been much more enjoyable than my first. We find out what we are having on November 5th so that is exciting! We have sold our condo and are going to be moving to a house in a week! We're staying in San Marcos - only moving about a mile away:) I'm super excited to have more space and a garage and a backyard! But packing SUCKS! I can't lift anything which makes the packing a whole lot slower than needed!

Anyway - here are some pictures from some stuff we've done in the last couple of months. Enjoy!

One day, Ryan decided that he wanted to wear ALL of his ties... I didn't know he had so many :)Ryan took his 1st trip to the San Diego Zoo! We went with our friends the McRoberts and had a great time!!! The McRoberts have 3 kids - Bryan (age 4) Kylie (age 2 - a couple of weeks younger than Ryan) and Forrest (age 1). Ryan loves to play with them! Especially Kylie - they are best buds! :)
We went to Disneyland for Bryan's 4th birthday! It was a blast - spent the whole day there, but I didn't take very many pictures. :(We also went to Bates Nut Farm! I love going there in the fall time! The kids got to ride the ponies and play in the petting zoo... not to mention play in the pumpkin patch!
Last weekend, we went to the Miramar Air Show. It was so much FUN! I loved watching the Blue Angels. Ryan would prefer to watch them from afar... They were too loud for him!

Oh Heck YES!

So Toy Story is Ryan's new favorite movie - He watches it all the time. In fact, he is going to be Woody for Halloween.

Cooperstown: Day 1 & 2

So I really should finish blogging about my rad trip to Cooperstown... I'm sorry that I am so lame when it comes to blogging...

Cooperstown is amazing! We drove about 4 hours from Niagara Falls to Cooperstown on Friday July 24. The drive was beautiful and we got stuck in a HUGE THUNDERSTORM! I couldn't see out my window which was a bit scary!

We finally got to Hartwick which is about 10 minutes away from Coopertown. This is where we were renting an upstairs apartment of a house. It was a GREAT place to stay! We really liked being in a small town. In fact, I want to move to a super small town!!! I loved it. The only thing I wouldn't like is the winter times... I don't really like to be cold.

Then we drove into Cooperstown, after we had unpacked and rested (well after Ryan took a "nap"). We explored the town a little bit. It is a CUTE town and I love it! We ate dinner at a REAL New York Pizzaria :) Food was good.

Saturday July 25, we went into town again and found the media center, where we were given a parking pass and tickets to the ceremony. I did an interview with Jane, who works for the Oakland Tribune. She did the video that I had posted earlier... Click HERE

She then introduced us to a guy she had meet that said he was Rickey Henderson's number 1 fan. My first reaction was that I would have to beat this guy up because that was my title :) His name was Steve and a super nice guy. Apparently he ran into Rickey's brother in Cooperstown and Rickey's brother started talking to them (Steve and his Dad were the only ones wearing A's hats - lots of Red Sox fans there) anyway - Steve told Tyrone (Rickey's bro) that he was Rickey's number one fan. Tyrone looked at him and said: No you're not :) Isn't that funny! We took the Media bus to the downtown area of Cooperstown. There were about a gazillion more people there on Saturday than the night before. It was totally crowded and of course we were trying to maneuver a stroller through the madness! We had a fun time though. That night they had a red carpet ceremony. We didn't stay for all of it because of the mass amounts of people and it was like a 3 hour event!
The Hall of Fame and the massive amounts of people. Most of which were Red Sox fans (which I prefer over Yankee fans... although one guy tried to get Ryan to say Yankees and I tried to joke with him and he was not amused...)If I ever need a cane... I want this one :)This guy recited the poem "Casey at the Bat" one of my all time favorites and he did a fantastic job!

COMING IN MARCH 2010

Baby #2 is cooking in the oven :)

Palymra

We drove from Niagara Falls to Cooperstown. It was about a 4 hour drive through BEAUTIFUL upstate New York countryside. Gorgeous! We decided to make a little detour to Palmyra - only like a 10 minute detour :) We went to the Sacred Grove. Ben and I have been there before and it's so freaking cool! I, of course, got bit by 2 mosquitoes - one on my elbow and yes, one on my forehead! For those of you who don't know, when I get bit by a mosquito I swell up HUGE! Way bigger than normal so the forehead one was a major bummer! Say: "Cheese" - We need to work on this still :)
