Ogden and Build-A-Bear

Here are some pics of our visit to Ogden a couple of weeks ago. We went down for little Luke Clayton's blessing and then Coby let me and the girls stay for the rest of the week and we had a GREAT time!

Grandma and her girls...Mae giving sister a kiss--as always!

"Eye"-- it'll be a miracle if Lucy isn't blind...

Mae just loves "Cee" soooooooooooooooooooooo much!

Pretty Miss Lucy

Ben and his sidekick...

Scheming something...they are definitely up to no good!

Mae and Aunt "Pri"

BUILD A BEAR

I had been wanting to take Mae to Build-A-Bear all summer, but being on bedrest made that a little difficult so me, Mae, Lucy, Granmda and Great Grandma decided to make the trip down while we were in Ogden. At first we couldn't get Mae away from the display animals and strollers, but finally we were able to get her to pick a horse to build after she had been obsessed with Grandpa("Pa") Frank's horse Mandy.

Picking out her heart to give to Mandy...When the lady was filling Mandy with stuffing, Mae was VERY concerned that she was hurting her little pony...Needless to say, Mae was leery of the lady after that--just look at that face!Giving Mandy her bathStill giving Mandy a bath ALL over the store... Grandma helped Mae pick out a skirt, boots and leash (so she can drag her EVERYWHERE)--all of it pink (big surprise) for Mandy, oh and we can't forget the cell phone

Oh how we LOVE Mandy!

Update on life with 2!!!

Here are a few new pics of our two girls! It is crazy Lucy is already ONE MONTH OLD!!! I seriously cannot believe how fast the time goes by! Although it is exciting to see them grow and change (and they just get funner)-- it also makes me sad because the newborn stage just goes by so quick! Before we know it she will be running around causing a ruckus just like her big sis. Lucy is such a sweetie and we are sooooo grateful for her! Mae is still fascinated with her and obsessed with giving her kisses! We have just had a few "incidences" where the love became a little much and quickly turned into an "Ouch!", but she is such a good big sister to "Cee"-- that's what Mae calls her!

These first few pics were taken by a friend me and my mom work with while we were up in Ogden!

What would I do without my girls???!!!

Lucy Rae Coonradt

She's here!!! Our little blondie arrived at 7:43am on August 31st weighing 6 lbz 7 0z and 19&3/4in long! Here are some pics of her journey so far!

Leaving for the hospital--4:45 in the AM!

She got a tiny little knick due to the urgency of getting her out of there, but don't worry, no harm done--she is perfect!


Mae's first glimpse at her new baby sis

What a rude awakening!

My first glimpse at our new little girl...don't I look sexy in my hat?!!! We didn't get a pic of both me and Cobes in our getups--darn it! We looked like quite the pair!

Home from the hospital:

First bath at home...we have pics of Mae like this and they look EXACTLY the same except for the hair color--weird!

My girl and her royal paleness...that would be me!


Me and my girls! Mae has been a total angel to her new sister! She loves to give her kisses and make sure she always has a blanket on. She squeals every time she sees her and has just been the BEST big sister EVER!!!

Da-da and his girls!

Thank you all for your support and sweet thoughts! We are soooo grateful to have this little girl here safetly---she is such a blessing to our lives!

She may look like an angel but...

Mae posing in the blessing dress I bought for her baby sis in, needless to say, it is WAY too big!

I wanted some cute pics of me, Mae and the belly...we got ONE before she had a complete and total MELTDOWN!!!

Fun for All at the County Fair!

Last week Cobes took Mae to the Uintah County Fair and someone from the Vernal Express (our newspaper) thought she was as cute as we do! And remember this is Vernal so sitting in a wading pool of corn kernels is considered FUN--and apparently to Mae it was,too!!!

New pics

I've been pretty bad about posting new pics lately, so here is your Mae-Mae fix for the time being...I knew the headband wouldn't last too long so I had to document it. Probably the next time I post some pictures will be when the new baby (who remains nameless as of yet) is here--YAY!!!

Ho this one is for you--- "HUH?"

She is "posing" by the paint can, quite the prop...

She LOVES "baby sister's" room...we may have a problem when she actually has to share it...

This is here- "What, MOM?" (yes, there is attitude already) look...I interrupted her "Yo Gabba-Gabba" session...excuse me!

She is just WAY to cute for her own good!
