NEW ULTRASOUND!!!

Well, thanks to my AWESOME friend, Shauna, we were able to get a little sneak peek ultrasound at our little addition! We took the girls with us (yeah, that was a good idea) and all THREE of our children were being terrors--weird right? The littlest one wouldn't cooperate and give us the perfect shot and the other ones were getting a little impatient (or A LOT impatient in Lu's case--Mae was really into it for the first few minutes) BUT in the end it was totally worth it!Cutie already! I LOVE these profile shots!
Little feetsies!
AND THE EARLY VERDICT IS.....
GIRL #3!!!
It is still a little early (we will have the big ultrasound in about a month) but I think its safe to say we are now accepting donations for the THREE, yes, count 'em, 1-2-3, weddings we will be paying for! (Checks can be made out to me!) Don't worry--if anything was to change, refunds will be given, but either way, we are THRILLED to welcome this little one into our family!


While we were getting the ultrasound done, unbeknownst to me, the baby got the hiccups and Shauna, being as talented as she is, was able to catch it on video for us...I think this is about the cutest thing ever!

We LOVE this little one so much already and although I'm a little nervous for THREE, cannot wait for August! On a side note--we were relieved to see that my placenta is not giving us any issues right now! My doc has told me that since I had it before, my chances of placenta previa had now gone up to 25% (from the normal 1-2%) so we were a little nervous for that, BUT as long as nothing drastic changes from now---we are good! Fingers crossed!

*SPECIAL* Valentine's Day Family Night

For Family Night on Valentine's Day, I wanted to do something a little special so I found this website that sends out unstuffed plush animals that you stuff yourselves--a Build-A-Bear thing at home and since we don't have a Build-A-Bear here, it worked out perfect! Mae decided she wanted a lamb with purple satin pajamas and she picked Lu out a dog (since she LOVES dogs) with pink satin pajamas. The kit came with a wishing star for each that the girls got to stick in there with the stuffing and I was just so thrilled with them. They were so soft and snuggly and when I opened up the box the girls were so excited they kept hugging their unstuffed animals.
We broke out the stuffing and dug right in...
Mae took this very seriously.
Even Lu got in on the fun...

...Mostly Lu loved running off with the stuffing...


The girls and their finished animals--Lu kept wrapping her doggy in a blanket...Mae was mad because she didn't want Lu to sit any closer to her...okay...
Mae and her lamb "Morgan." She named her all by herself--after one of the names they use in Beethoven's 2nd--one of her FAVORITE shows!
Lu attacking her dog--who is yet to be named...
Kisses for sis...
Lu LOVES her big sis--she'd snuggle (or attack) with her all the time if Mae would let her...
The FINISHED masterpieces!
Oh and who could forgot the last part of our SPECIAL family night?..
The Valentine's cupcakes!!!






Oh, how we LOVE cupcakes!
FAMILY NIGHT is ALWAYS a BIG HIT--but this one was especially fun!

My Little Valentines!

On Valentine's I decided to bust out my camera and get some pix of my girls in their cute Valentine's outfits from Great Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Gary--they weren't being very cooperative (should I be surprised?) so I just got a few, but at least I got a few, right?
Mae insisted I take some a picture of her Valentine's toes we painted...she wanted them red with pink "sparkly" hearts--I know, I know, I am pretty talented...
Lu (unlike her sis) liked the boa I thought we'd try out, that is until she tried to eat a feather and found out that feathers don't taste very good! (Are you seeing a pattern here? This girl has to try and eat EVERYTHING! I have nightmares of her eating things like hair dye and chemicals and wake up in a PANIC!) Oh, and *NOTE* to all those out there--don't try this at your home--the boa left red and purple feathers and lint ALL over my freshly vacuumed carpet--awesome...
This picture doesn't look very good, but I had to post it because this is so my girls...they are CONSTANTLY wrestling, rolling and just plain attacking each other. In a few weeks Lu will be joining Mae in nursery and I'm afraid that our girls will become the "problem children" when they won't leave each other alone...but it is really cute til they crash heads together...
I LOVE THESE LITTLE VALENTINES!!!

Sing-along with Dadda!


Coby broke out his guitar the other night and Lu had the best time, singing, dancing and helping Dadda play...Our girls LOVE it when Coby plays or just even when we listen to his CD's! It is one of my favorite things to be driving around town and hear both of them singing along with his songs in the backseat--too cute!

Our funny little Lu!

Lu is one crazy funny little girl...it doesn't matter what she's doing--it is FUNNY! The other day we were cleaning the toy room (story of my life) when I noticed Lu had something on her chin. Normally, it's food or juice, but this time it was a heart sticker and she was just walking around not noticing. I don't know this was so funny to me, but I was cracking up! No doubt she had been trying to eat it when it ended up on her chin (she's pooped out a sticker before--gross, but true)...We grabbed the camera quick and then made sure to get it away from her mouth--I don't normally let her eat stickers, but apparently it does happen...
Oh, and she LOVES to make funny faces...even funnier with the sticker...
Pretty girl--even with the sticker!



Another thing Lu LOVES to do is find any piece of clothing or towel and put it on her head and walk around--she thinks this is WAY too funny--that is until she runs into something!

Peek-a-boo!
What would we do without this little girl??? She definitely keeps us entertained that's for sure!

Baby Miya!

This picture is a little old, but I just had to post it cuz it's so dang cute! Mae has been so excited for Baby Miya to "pop out" (easier said than done, right Capri?) and FINALLY she is here!!! This was the first time Mae was able to see Miya in person and she is already sooooo in love with her--and who could blame her? What cute cousins!!!

BABY COONRADT #3!!!

Yes, that's right--baby #3 is on its WAY!!! We are thrilled to welcome our third (and final) baby to our lives due August 17th 2011! The girls just as thrilled (if not more) to have this new baby in our family! Mae talks about the baby all the time--and now has decided that she too has a baby in her tummy! Whenever we ask Lu about the baby she kisses my stomach and says "bebe!" If this baby is half as cute as its sisters we are IN TROUBLE!!! So far everything is going good and we are hoping for a smoother pregnancy this go around, but as long as this little one is healthy--I am one happy momma! August couldn't come soon enough!!!

NEW YEAR'S EVE!

While Dadda was off being a rock star with Grandpa George at the senior citizen's center I got to spend New Year's with two of my favorite people! We had a girl's night--and what girl's night would be complete without popcorn for Mae to stuff her face with and Lu to spread all over the floor--and a movie! Couldn't have asked for a better night! Luv u 2!

Christmas in O-Town!

What Christmas would be complete without a trip to Ogden??? We made our way down and of course, had a GREAT time with MORE PRESENTS!!! Mae was READY TO GO AGAIN!!!
Even Dadda got a present!

Lu and Aunt Jan
I think Mae is pretty excited about the $$CASH$$--don't you???
Lu, doing one of the things she does best, climbing on EVERYTHING!
We made our way to Grandpa Dave and Grandma Michelle's--and NO SUPRISE--got spoiled there, too!
Lu and her new dollhouse--just checking it all out...
Big sis had to check it out too!
Quite the pose--Mae opening her present...
A princess baby set--complete with a baby Cinderella--Mae could NOT have been more thrilled! It was all we could do to keep it in the box!
...and Lu just wanted to play with the box!!!
Here come her faces again...

What a CUTIE!!!
We are soooooo blessed to have such WONDERFUL family and be able to spend ssuch special times with them!
