This weekend!!!

2011-03-28T17:03:00.000-05:00

Our weekend was very busy! We left Sat morning at 8:00 and got home about 8:00 Sat night! We had 3 soccer games and 2 birthday parties to go to and we made it to everything! and on time! The kids were exhausted but not once did they complain! They were awesome!

This is Kellen and one of his "favorite" girls, Meri Morgan, she is so sweet and adorable! He always ask if we can move and live by her! HAHA he is funny!

Great defensive positions!!

I love this picture! The love this daddy has for this boy is unreal!!!

And these 2 together = trouble! Not sure why but they LOVE each other so much!!

Well I take it back these two = tons of trouble ( Kellen and his cousin Patrick)!!!

This was this morning. Mylee was dying to wear grandma's shoes (which Kellen's mom , Grandma, bought these shoes for her a few weekends ago, so she calls them grandma shoes!) and Kellen watched Kangaroo Jack Sunday so he wanted to wear this jacket bc he thinks it looks like Kangaroo Jack! He is crazy!!!

Kellen is growing up so fast and becoming a little man! He is sooo sweet and precious! He is 5 1/2 years old here, weighs 52.4 pounds and is 43 inches tall. He loves I mean loves baseball! He practices all the time! Maybe he will play baseball for the bulldogs one day!! He is doing soooo good in school. He has the best memory EVER (which he did not get from me!) He is learning to read and loves it!!

Ms. Sassy pants is growing up fast too and getting soooo tall! She defintely is sassy though! Sweet and Sassy!! Mylee Jayne is 2 1/2 years old and is 32.3 pounds and 33 inches tall. She can not wait to do the things her brother does! She can say all her ABC and knows all the sounds and can tell you any letter you put up in front of her. She can count to 10 without any help and she loves to color!! So if she visits you please do not leave anything she can color with around! She will find it!!

Oh yeah and we can not WAIT until our friends The Chaos have baby Jase! We have been waiting for him a long time! Hopefully he makes his debut this week!!!

That's it- Until next time!! - The Maurer's- Kellen, Bo, Kellen Jr., & Mylee Jayne

Showers

2011-03-15T13:33:00.000-05:00

My cute Diaper Cake for Baby Jase! I was very proud of myself!!

Mylee Jayne at her first shower!

Here take my picture again!

I could not leave out my handsome young man! He and his daddy came to help load up!

2 of the most precious girls EVER! Mylee Jayne loves her Layni!!

Well as you can read the captions under the pictures you can tell I helped do a shower for one of my and Kellens best friends! Jana and Jeff Chao (Jeff is a photographer who is awesome by the way look him up at Chaophotography.com) Any ways, they are expecting their first baby, a boy, name Jase. We are excited too bc I love babies but just dont want anymore in my house! Mylee and Kellen both keep asking for a borther or sister and I just tell them when Baby Jase is born you can play with him anytime you want! But the shower went great! I made the Diaper cake (1st picture) for a center piece and I wasnt sure at first, while making it but after I was finished I loved it and thought I did a pretty good job! It was so much fun making it too! Anyways. I had to put some pictures of my kids on here and they are growing up soooo fast! Thats about it! Have a great day!

Birmingham Zoo!

2011-03-10T14:25:00.000-06:00

My entire family went to Birmingham, AL the last weekend in February. I am not sure how we got 21 people to sit still! Which I might add 11 of them are kids! This was the first picture and I was pretty impressed to have everyone looking and actually smiling. We had so much fun at the zoo and it is huge! We are members of the Jackson Zoo so we got to get in free!

Mylee Jayne is eating her "Ho-Nut" aka donut!

All the cousins together.

Top row: Heath Varmette, Connor McNamee, Savannah Robbins, Tori Robbins, & Eva Varmette

Bottom Row: Mylee Jayne Maurer, Caitlyn McNamee, Pete Varmette, Will Varmette, Kellen Maurer, & Patrcik Robbins.

Mylee loved these birds. You can buy this nector and the birds fly and sit on you. She liked it.

Kellen like his momma, hated the birds! Let me just say I screamed everytime a bird touched me and Kellen did not stay long in there. I was not going to miss a picture opportunity, The things moms do for there kids!!

My two Kellen's!

This is what they transported their Rhino in.

Me and my Mylee Jayne!

We had a blast in Birmingham and it was soooooo good to see everyone and watch all our kids play together. They miss all their cousins and love being with each other! It is hard to all get together at the same time but when we do WE have soooo much fun.

Just a few randoms!

2011-02-10T14:52:00.000-06:00

Memphis- silky o Sullivans

Kellen and I and some of our friends, Phil and Nikki, decided to head to Memphis one Saturday and go watch an NBA game- Grizzlies vs Wizards. Well as you can see from the picture of Nikki and me, we were really really high up. In fact, the court looked so small and the players looked no bigger than 5'10. So we were really high up!! We had a good time anyways just having some adult time! Of course those of you know Kellen, he is defintely a NUT!!

Me and Nikki at game

Now a few randoms of the Maurer kids!

This is our January 2011 picture. I have started doing a book at the end of each year and it has a picture of both kids together each month and it shows how much they have grown! Throughout 2010 both kids have grown up so much and the pictures prove it.

Here Kellen is eating some fruit early one morning, and Mylee Jayne wanted some. Kellen, of course, is one of the most loving kids and loves to share with his sister (Mylee lets just say she needs alot of guidance in the sharing department HAHA). But it was so sweet that he started feeding her the fruit so she would not spill it. She finally gave him a big thank you hug! It was nice to see them not fighting for once!! HAHA. Those of you who have younger kids/young brothers or sisters know what I am talking about! Well until next time! Enjoy you weekend! Love - The Maurer's

Not a whole lot to say!!

2011-02-02T15:43:00.005-06:00

Well this blog does not have much too it! This past month, January, has really not been that exciting. Just hanging out going to basketball games. But this month, we are starting soccer so we will defintely be going to practices and games 2 and 3 times a week! But here are a few pictures of Kellen at basketball and then when we went shopping one weekend.

This is my nephew Connor and my dad. Above is my neice Caitlyn with little Kellen. We get to play against each other and it is pretty comical!!

These are 2 of my other neices and nephew, Lulu (savannah) and Patrick! This was a pretty interesting shopping trip with 4 kids!!!

Thanks for reading - the ones that do!! The Maurer's

The Ducks!

2011-01-15T15:44:00.007-06:00

Well most of you already know Kellen's family is from Oregon, so that means that we are also Ducks fans!! Well of course Mississippi State always comes first but the ducks are our second team! And we do own some duck gear (thanks Grandma & Gramps)!!! So we watched the game (thanks Nonnie & Pop) & we rooted for the DUCKS in the BCS bowl! Unfortunetly the Duck coach does not know how the SEC plays football and made a few bad choice decisions. But I think I have the cutest duck fans EVER! Here are a few pics!!

Oh and Little Kellen decided he was too busy watching movies and playing his DS to get any pics other than the first one!

What a great way to end 2010!!

2011-01-07T15:47:00.016-06:00

Well I have been terrible about blogging. We have been so busy at the end of 2010. In October after both kids birthdays in September, Kellen and I went on a cruise with one of my sisters and my brother-in-law! It was fantastic! I loved it and want to go back soon! If you can do it, everyone should go on a cruise without your kids and one with your kids! They are so much fun and relaxing! Also, Kellen got a new job! He loves it and is so happy (thank goodness). He will have to travel a little bit at first for training but not really after that!

So now on toNovember, we had Thanksgiving and shopping! We spent Thanksgiving at my moms, Kellen was in training for 2 weeks in FL in November (thats why we did not get to go to Tupelo). My in-laws all came down and my brother-in-law stayed a few extra days, which was nice. I am sure my kids have made him never wanting any kids! HAHA FYI- Mylee really needs to be amused in the car- thank you DVD player!!

Now its December! Little Kellen and Mylee are so excited Santa is coming. Kellen asked for everything under the sun and Mylee just wanted princess band-aids, candy, and stickers!

We had Christmas Eve at my moms with 2 of my sisters, brother-in-laws, and neices and nephews, Stacy and her fam stayed in Huntsville. They opened presents and screamed and yelled. It was chaiotic! I loved it and would not have it any other way!

Kellen was way too busy to stop for a picture! Sorry!

Then Santa came and brought way way way too much. Mrs. Claus will have to get under control next year!

Here is both the kids loot! Kellen was excited to get up early! Mylee not so much as you can see her slowly coming into the living room!

After we opened Santa gifts we all got dressed and headed for Tupelo to have Christmas with Kellens family! And guess what as soon as we got to GOD'S country (aka Starkville) the snow fairy came with tons of snow!!! It was so wonderful to finally have a white Christmas for the first time in this Southern girls life! Now The Maurer's are orginally from Oregon so it was old news to them! HAHA. But we finally made it to Kellen's parents and we walked in and it was like Santas shop exploded tons and tons and tons of presents everywhere!

The kids anxiously waited and opened and opened and opened presents (this is the advantages of being the only neice and nephew and grandkids!!!!) They got so much fun stuff! and they loved it! WE got tons of stuff too, I loved all my gifts even though my in-laws all called my presents boring!! HAHA. We played and I got to cook my first turkey! Whoo hoo!

On sunday night my poor mom-in-law got her hand stabbed and had to have emergency surgery to repair two severed nerves and she is in a splint/cast for a long time. I am sorry that had happened to her, but she did push Mylee out of the way and if she didnt, I can not and do not want to imagine what could have happened to my sweet baby girl. Things grandmas do for their sweet grandkids!

After Christmas came New Years and Happy Birthday to Me! Yeah 31 is just dandy!!! We went to my sisters house for New Years night and thought we might get blown away in all the tornados.! After the weather blew thru we had a great time, watching kids and some adults (hint hint TT) sing some Karoki (however you spell it). We all stayed up to 12:01 and then all went to bed!!

This is what happens when your fully clothed 2 year old gets left alone in a 9 year old's room!! It was pretty funny and thankfully it was just on her and not anywhere else!!

Now its 2011 and I can not wait to see what is in store for my awesome family!! Thank you God for giving me the best husband, kids, family, and friends! You are an awesome GOD and no one can have a happy fufilling life without you! I am so excited about some babies being born to several of our friends, sports my kids are playing, and planning our Disney Trip!! WHOO HOO. until next time! Enjoy the photos!!

Have a wonderful 2011! - Love The Maurer's

Happy 5th Birthday Kellen!

2010-10-13T14:44:00.006-05:00

Sept 27 Kellen turned 5 years old! Wow he is growing up fast!

The Friday before his party Big Kellen's mom and sister came to visit and help get ready for his party. They both gave Kellen and Mylee their gifts! Grandma and Gramps (Kellens parents) have given Kellen his haloween costume to him for his birthday for the past 2 years and guess what Kellens is going to be?

Yep you guessed it! IRONMAN! He was so excited to get this! If I would let him He still would be wearing it! If you could have seen his face when he tried it on, It was priceless!!

Aunt Katy with the kids!!

Kellens party was alot of fun! He wanted to have it at the church gym! So we did, we had a jumping thing, balloon pop (which did not last as long as I wanted HAHA!), basketball, food, cake, and ice cream! WHEW! It was fun! Glad both kids parties are over!! Here are a few pictures!

Here is the cake I made for his party! I was very proud of myself bc I made it all by MYSELF!! Kellen wanted a MSU cake but it was a little difficult so just a football cake on a MSU tablecloth is what he got!!! I did make some DAWG bone Brownies, which he loved!

My mom helped do most of the food there which was fanastic! Thanks mom! Kellen had a blast and loved every minute of it! I am so glad he had a great 5th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Mylee Jayne!

2010-09-28T09:49:00.007-05:00

She has finally opened all her presents and she is wearing almost all of them. U can't see them really but she is holding these leopard tenny shoes, that my parents gave her, that squeak! She loves them I think she ran all night up and down the hall. At her party she headed outside and you could hear her running all around my moms house. It was soo funny!

This is how she ran around the house and down the hallway! new hair bows in her hair, a pink MSU jacket, new squeaky shoes, a new back pack, and her doll! She was loving every minute of it!!
Well tomorrow Kellen turns 5 so stay tuned!

Dawgs vs Dawgs!

2010-09-28T09:24:00.007-05:00

How cute are the B-Dawg (this is what Mylee calls Bulldogs) Maurer's!

My friend Jana made this cake! It was awesome! It tasted just as good as it looks!

Well this past Saturday the MSU dawgs played and beat the Georgia Dawgs! We got to take Little Kellen with us for his birthday weekend. We did not take Mylee Jayne because well she just does not like crowds or strangers, and I really did not want to chase her around all day either! So it was just us and little Kellen time!

All I have to say about going to the game with little Kellen is that HE LOVES IT!!! He had so much fun! He was sooo tired on the drive back and the next day but HE LOVED IT!! He rang his cowbell and yelled GO STATE! and wanted to stand the whole game! Needless to say, Little K made his DADDY sooooo proud this weekend and they can not wait to go to another. We tailgated with some of our awesome friends and had a blast! Here are a few pics of the weekend.
Big K had to chase the football bc his little QB1 does not have good aim yet!
The Kellen's at the game! Can you tell they are having fun!
The 3 of us! Yes it was soooooo hot Saturday!

Mommy and Kellen waiting for the game to start! And this is Kellen resting while tailgating!

Well these 3 pictures are actually from the weekend before when MSU played LSU. But when you have a daughter this adorable how can you not put her in a bulldog post!! My mother in law made this dress when she was 6 months old but left a huge hem in it so I could keep letting it out! Mylee loves her face tattoos of the B-Dawgs and she wore them for like 3 days!

Hope you enjoy!

Tailgaiting, tents, and SOME DAWGS!!!

2010-09-09T14:22:00.006-05:00

Well as you can see from the title this post is about Mississippi State Football! Kellen and I went up to Starkville last Saturday with some Friends (Jeff and Jana) for some awesome football and tailgaiting. This was our first year to actually tailgate so it was defintely an experience.

Here are a few pics of us through out the day and by the way the Dawgs beat the Memphis Tigers!
Love this pic withthe flag and Ms State in the background!

Us at the game- not too sure why I am smiling like that but Kellen is barking at the pic moment!

Jeff and Jana! Jeff is an awesome photographer here in the Jackson area check out his webisite! www. Chaophotography.com! And they are expecting so we are super super excited about that!

Me and the Big K

Us and the Chaos

We will get better at tailgaiting! Out first time was trial and error!

This was Maroon Friday!

We I can honestly say I loved every minute of the tailgaiting experience and I can not wait to see Little Kellens expression on the 25th of September when we whoop up on the other bulldogs! GO STATE!

The new addition to our family dinners!

2010-08-27T14:54:00.002-05:00

Here is our new addition to the family dinner time! Her name is Baby, and she goes everywhere now! She even made an appearance to soccer practice last night with her strapped in the kid baby stroller and baby bottles.

Mylee even tries to feed herat the dinner table and makes her sit in her lap and tries to boss her around.

Motorcycles and 4 wheelers!

2010-08-27T14:45:00.004-05:00

Well this week has flown by! Thank Goodness! Just a quick little note to what the kids have been doing. A sweet sweet friend of ours gave Mylee Jayne some cute dresses and PJS and this cute little 4 wheeler. Mylee loves it. She is always begging to ride her brothers Harley motorcycle. So now she gets something to ride of her own! And she actually wore a big bow in her hair for longer than 15 secs (BIG STEP whoo hoo) !! She finally is getting in the stage that she wants her hair done all the time with bows and ponytails. Kellen is just all boy! He still loves to ride the motorcycle around and screams and hollars when riding! Here are a few pictures!

First Day of K4- August 17, 2010

2010-08-17T11:31:00.004-05:00

Today was Kellen's first day of K-4. His teacher is Ms. Tasha! He was so excited about going this morning. Here are a few pics of him on his first day and of course Mylee had to be a part of it!

He is so funny and sooooo excited! Hope he was good and he likes it!!

Going to the Zoo Again!

2010-08-17T10:54:00.006-05:00

We are members of the zoo here in Jackson, which is awesome, because we paid like $45 and we can go as many times as we want for an entire year free (well for on time fee $45). So we have been taking advantage of that and go often. This time we actually took picnic lunches and after we walked the zoo we went across the street by the train and sat at the picnic tables. So here are some pics of the kids and us at the zoo!

ok There is a story behind this huge lovely pig! So me and the kids go into the petting zoo and there is this pig just laying there. Mylee walks up and I said, "Mylee look do you want to pet the pig?" She looks up at me as serious as you can be and says, "Momma, its BACON!" I about died of laughter. We left the petting zoo soon after bc she just kept calling him Bacon. It was pretty funny and have no clue where she learned it from!

Beach Fun days 4-8!

2010-08-17T09:37:00.011-05:00

Days 4- 8 at the beach were great! We finally got a family picture of the Maurer Family's. My in-laws came, Debra (mom), Bruce (Dad), Kyle(Bro), & Katy (Sis) and our other "bro-in-law" Chris Mallon a.k.a Uncle Mallon. Came down from Oregon to visit us at thebeach!

Just like the first 4 days we rode around the lazy river (yes I think the guys and Katy rode around like atleast 500 times in the four days!) and hung out at the Wharf! We did attempt to go to the beach one days, but Kyle, Katy, and little Kellen said the water itched them and it smelled bad. So onle 1 hour of the trip was at the beach!

Aunt Katy and Princess Mylee after swimming most of the day

Kyle(to the left) and Katy, Debra, & Mallon (to the right) going around the lazy river!

This is Kyle's boat! HAHA he wishes! we went looking around the boats one morning !

We ate at Lulu's one night and Lambert's one afternoon for lunch. My mother-in-law cooked some awesome Lasgana or as little kellen calls it, "Pasgana. And one night we had homemade french fries and pulled pork! They were soooooooooo good! I think I gained like 10 pounds just looking at my mother-in-laws great food!

These next few pics are from Lulu's! As you can tell Little Kellen loves to have his picture taken!

I mean don't I have the most handsome husband EVER!!! and of course the cutest kids!

This is Kellen's best friend Mallon! Yes we are dying for him to move down here! Just need a little inspiration, so all you southern belles line up! He's a keeper!!

This guy too! This is my brother-in-law, Kyle he lives in Tupelo by my in-laws. He is such a great uncle to put up with those 2 clowns!! They just climbed all over him!

I am not real sure what the obession is with Mylee wearing a hat! But she stole uncle Kyle's and wore it all day at the pool! I guess bc her brother loves wearing one!

Grandma and Mylee & Gramps and Mylee! Not real sure why Mylee is wearing this glove or wear she found it!

Well thats about all of our fun trip to The Wharf! Can't wait for vacation next year!!

Beach Fun Days 1-4!

2010-08-04T13:28:00.018-05:00

The First 4 days!

The first four days of our Beach vacation, was with my side of the family. My parents, 1 of my sisters, Tamara and her family, and of course us, all stayed in a condo at the Wharf in Orange Beach, AL. We had an amazing time ! We went swimming at the wharf's oasis pool, which had a lazy river, kid pool an dkid slides, waterfalls, and a wave pool. We spent every morning there and came back to eat lunch and just hang out and do whatever the rest of the day.

We went to build-a-bear. Which was Kellens first time to go and do this. Mylee's too but she had no clue what was going on, she just liked looking and touching everything in there. But Kellen loved it. He built on with Patrick and dressed him like a basketball player. He got a dog and of course, its name is "BULLY" hmmm wonder where he came up with that. We now have bully 1 and a bully 2 now. He is such a bulldog fan!! He did not put this dog down for 2 seconds. He loved it!! Now Mylee's is just a plain bear that she now calls Beary! and she sleeps with it everynight.

Here they are doing some build a bear dance!

The kids are loving their glasses and there LuLu here!!

It was pretty funny that we brought there shirts that were just alike and they all just had to wear them.

Here is LuLu with the 2 boys! They are such Hams and love to have their picture taken! The 2 boys are really like best friends. They fight just loke brothers but in the end they love each other very much, Arent they just the cutest!!

Here is me and my sister Tamara (she is older than me! HAHA!) with my ever so cute dad! We are at Lulu's here!

Mylee loved loved loved the water slide. She went down so many times and tried to walk up it, which did not turn out so well!! Kellen and Mylee are so cute! they look so loving and sweet! I am sure right after this she whacked him on the head or pushed him!! She is definelty in the the terrible horrific two stage!!

Crazy Hair Day

2010-07-22T12:39:00.005-05:00

Just a quick posts today! Well it was crazy hair day at school today! Kellen wakes up almost every morning and asks whats on the calendar today for school! He loves doing different stuff everyday in the summer. Well whn I told him what day was today , he got all giddy and just started cracking up. He said, "Momma I want rocker hair!" Then he says right after that, "Do you know what that is, its a Mohawk!" dont you just love his rocker face!!

So with the help of his dad and tons of hair gel (and I mean tons bc his hair has gotten so long) we finally suceeded in the mohawk! And when we walked in everyone made over him and his hair do. And if you know my kid he loves loves loves being the center of attention!! Of course his sister had to get her picture too with her Kewhen!

A weekend at the Zoo, a TV Star, & a Bully!!!

2010-07-20T12:50:00.015-05:00

This picture is of my sister Kandice, My mom- Shara-, myself, & My sister, Stacy. We missed you TT!!

This past weekend we were quite busy!! We headed to the zoo on Saturday to enjoy the morning sunshine and family. My sister that lives in Huntsville, AL came to visit with her 3 boys and 1 little girl. So we thought, the kids needed to run off a little energy! Altogether we had 8 kids and 7 adults! While we were there the had there Ice Cream Safari! My dad was sooooo excited! For those of you how know my dad, you know he loves some ice cream. There were about 40 different MS celebrities out there serving about 40 different types of Blue Bell ice cream. The kids were wild and full of sugar by noon! It was fun and the kids, I mean Dad and Big Kellen, had a blast eating all the ice cream!

Big Kellen became a TV star, along with my Dad, at the ice cream thing. He was interviewed about the zoo and the how good all the ice cream was! Both of their favorite ice cream was Duck Chocolate, I think it had chocolate with vanilla swirl and brownies in it!

Also at the zoo, until August 15th, they have a splash park. It is by the elephants and it is just 5 big water blow up slides. But we brought their swimsuits and let them play. This is my precious neice, Caitlyn, with crazy faced Kellen. They had soooooo much fun. Mylee got to play on some of them but it was too slippery for her to climb up the slides. My

poor neice tried to help her but the both kept sliding back down!

This was so much fun for the kids and a little cool break from being so hot! We just sat and watched the kids play!

This is Mylee and her POP! She loves this guy! Everytime we see a red truck she screams POP POP POP! Usually in the morning when she wakes up she asks, "Where's Pop?" She is definetly a Pop GURL!

Lastly, this past Wednesday, the boys all went to meet the Bulldogs! Wow I have never seen such excitement from Kellen when he got home, not sure if it was from his new favorite drink Cherry Dr. Pepper that Uncle Brett bought him or the DAWGS!!. He was soooo excited that he got to meet BULLY! and he can not wait till September when games start. They gave him and Big Kellen T-shirts and he had to sleep in it and was so excited that he got one just like daddy.

The Kellen's met some of our good friends up there too, "Uncle" Jeff and "Uncle" Brett. I am sure all 4 of those guys had a blast. Little Kellen would not get his picture taken witht he cheerleaders because he said the only picture he wanted a girl to be in was his momma or his sister! Man I trained him good ! Just kidding. Not sure why he wouldn't but he does love his picture with Bully!

We are going to the beach this Saturday so hopefully we will have some great pictures then. Sorry if I bored you and glad if you liked this post! Until next week!!!

Happy Birthday Pappaw!

2010-07-13T13:58:00.021-05:00

Wow I am really horrible at the blog thing. I finally figured out how to sort of work it! 'Not sure where to begin! I'll just begin and tell you about the last few months, then hopefully I will keep up with the blogging.

All about Kellen Jr.:He is getting soooo big he is 4, almost 5, and he so smart and loves to play sports!! He loves, loves, loves Mississippi State anything. He also has made his daddy so proud because he loves the movie Rudy! I mean what Father would not want his son to love that movie. Anyways, kellen plays soccer and baseball and Big Kellen coaches him.

Both of the guys are such sports fans and I am sure Mylee is not far behind. Kellen has finally learned to swim, thanks to my wonderful sister and her pool. We love you TT!! He is like a fish! He is always making funny faces. Trying to get a good sweet picture of him is slim, he is also smiling crazy or giving the thumbs up!

He also loves to go to church. He is so funny about trying to remember all the stories, sometimes he gets them mixed up! But one he never forgets is the story of Joseph. We had VBS a few weeks ago and that is the main story we talked about. He loved it!! Kellen also likes to go, go, go! He loves just staying by himself at Nonnie & Pop's House, going to Grandma & Gramps house, going to the zoo, movies, this child hates to be still!! But he is such a sweet heart and loves to be told he has done the best job in the world- it makes his day!!

All about Miss Priss Mylee Jayne:

She is almost 22 months and all Sass! She loves her big brother and can be soooooo moody if she is not getting her way. She is trying to potty train, "trying" as I said. She hates to war any diapers and can not stand to be dirty!

She loves anything with Sugar in it, especially cookies & chocolate! She loves to swim and jump off the diving board- with floaties of coarse! She loves to play outside and loves to ring a cowbell! Again her daddy is sooooo proud!! She thinks all babies are her babies and will try and pick them up (so sorry Layni)! She is strictly a mommy's girl! She likes tinkerbell and Princess and the frog, dresses, but loves to dig in the dirt too! She is already a shoe fanatic and cries when she does not get a new pair at the store.

She loves to play with her Mahe (Maggie our beagle). She gets so excited when she does something good! Like feed the dog, go to the potty, put up her stuff! She loves to talk, half the time I have no clue what she is saying but she keeps on and on. She sings tons and loves for you to sing with her.

She is definetly a priss pot!!

We are going to The Wharf in Orange Beach in a week and half. Cant wait to be there for 8 straight days! The first 4 days my family, my parents, and one of my sisters family will be there, then on that Wednesday that they leave my in-laws, and brother-in-law and sister-in-law and our best friend "uncle Mallon" from Oregon will be there the rest. What an exciting trip! Cant wait for some relaxing family time!!

Well that is about it! Hopefully another year wont go by till I blog again!!

Up date on the last year!

Well lets see what has happened since my last blog. Well I went to the Dr. and had another sonogram, and our little girl is huge!! at 24 weeks she was weighing in at 3.3 pounds and in the 85th percentile on weight and length. So once again we are having a big baby!! We got some good pictures of her. She also has a big head (she gets taht from her daddy) So we are defintely having a C-Section. The Dr. said I would not make it to 38 weeks, so hopefully she will come at 37 weeks so it will be after Little Kellens Birthday Party he is having at Pump It Up!!

But that really is all that has happened. Thankfully not much has been planned the last few weeks but after this week, we have so many scheduled events and places to be that we will be on the go pretty much every weekend until after the baby is born!!

OK TODAY I AM SO SO SO STRESSED. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TERRIBLE HORENDOUS TWOS!!! I SURE HOPE THEY GO AWAY BC I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN EMOTIONALLY TAKE THE 3'S. ONCE LITTLE KELLEN REALIZES THAT HE HAS MADE ME SO SO SO SO VERY UPSET HE CALMS DOWN. BUT THEN I AM SO WORKED UP I JUST CRY. I AM SURE THE CRYING PART HAS TO DO WITH HORMONES GOING CRAZY AND PREGNANCY BUT I AM ABOUT TO PULL ME HAIR OUT!!!!! I HAVE TRIED THE SPANKING0 NO IT DOES NOT WORK, I HAVE TRIED TIME OUT- HE JUST SITS CALMLY AND GOES BACK TO WHATEVER HE IS DOING, AND I HAVE TRIED NO TV IN THE CAR OR IN THE MORNING. HE DOESNTO CARE ABOUT THAT EITHER HE JUST JABBERS AND JABBERS AND HAS THE 2 YEAROLD CONVERSATIONS!! I AM COMPLETELY AT MY WICKS END!!! ANYONE ON SUGGESTIONS!!! SO THAT IS ABOUT HOW MY DAY WAS BEFORE 830 THIS AM.

I AM NOT SAYING THAT HE IS NOT SWEET. HE IS ONE OF THE SWEETEST CHILDREN EVER. HE JUST GETS IN MOODS AND HE STARTS THROWING TEMPER TANTRUMS!!! BUT ONCE HE IS OUT OF IT, HE GIVES YOU HUGS AND KISSES AND SAYS "I LOVE YOU TOO MOMMY SO MUCH!" AND THEN IT IS SO HARD TO BE MAD AT HIM AFTER THAT. I AM NOT SURE IF HE IS DOING THIS BC WE ARE GETTING EVERYTHING READY FOR MYLEE JAYNE OR IF THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR FOR A TWO YEAR OLD!!! I DO LOVE HIM VERY VERY MUCH AND WOULD NOT TRADE HIM FOR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD. HE IS DEFINTELY MY HUSBAND AND MY HEART!!

Well lets see since my last post we have finally painted our little girls room. It is finally becoming a little more real now. Before it was just yes we having a little girl, but now its like "We better get a move on we will have a little girl here in about 3 months!!" So we have painted her room, I finally ordered all the baby bedding stuff!!YEAH YEAH- Her nursery is going to be pink, white, chocolate brown and camel brown stripes and polka dots. I now love to shop on ebay!! Its very addicting. I can't wait to have her so she and Cohen Marie- one of my best friends (Brandy Smith) little girl which both will be born around the same time!!- can play together at Supper Club!!

July 4th has come and gone. We had a cook out at my sisters house and swam and shot fireworks! Our friends Phil and Nikki Shows came to have fun times with us. When Big Kellen and Phil get together it is- well let's just say You will defintely be entertained!! Little Kellen loves fireworks- except for stepping on one and burned his little foot. He likes sparklers!

On Saturday we went and visited my grandparents. It was there 67th Wedding anniversary!! It is amazing to see such a happy cute little couple!!! .

I went to the Doctor I guess 2 weeks ago and found out that my little Mylee Jayne is not gonig to be so little. She was weighing 1 pound 12 ounces at 24 weeks and in the 78th percentile. The average weight at 24 weeks is 1 pound to 1.5 pounds. I was told to get ready for another big baby! Going back to the the Dr on the 24th to check her out again!!! I will be 28 weeks at the Dr appt. So until then!!!

Ok Its been a while so My little Kellen is growing up so fast he will be 3 years old at the end of Sept. He absolutely loves Batman and we argue all the time because we cant wear our Batman PJ's to school!! We are expecting a baby girl at hopefully atthe end of Sept. but most likely in October of 2008. We have named our little princess Mylee Jayne Maurer.

I went to supper club with my dearest friends- Shelley, Brandy, Casey, and Aimee last night, we went to Keifers and had some good "Adult" time. Yes they are friends from high school and its erally strange to keep in touch with people that long but I love them dearly and each one has helped me out in some way along the road!!!! I love hearing crazy funny kids stories they ahve bc at least I konw I am not the only one!!!

We went to ORange Beach for Memorial Day weekend and week and had a blast!! We stayed at a place called The Wharf of AL. It was great especially since we have small children. They are so kid friendly and their oasis pool is AWESOME for kids!!!! Our condo looked out on to the bay and we watched several boats dock and Kellen loved it.

We went to LuLu's and ate one night and had a blast!! Kellen and Patty played in the sand then we sat by the band and ate and the kids danced and had so much fun!!

We go for another sonogram on Thursday to see how little Mylee Jayne is doing! We have one every 6 weeks because I have gestational Diabetes. So far she is growing perfect and getting big. She kicks constantly and is very active late at night and around 4:00 in the morning.

Well I need to get back to work. So until then...... Probally in about 2 months! Hopefully not!!
