This weekend!!!

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

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!
Love- The Maurer's- Kellen, Bo, Kellen Jr., & Mylee Jayne

Birmingham Zoo!

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!



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



 







Not a whole lot to say!!

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!

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!!

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
