Sarahs Shower!!

So I'm supposed to be finishing up the tissue puff balls I'm making for Sarah's reception but I decided to blog instead!! We had Sarah's bridal shower tonight and it was wonderful. She got lots of fun things plus all the good food we ate all night. She will be Mrs. Blake Wells in 14 days and I couldn't be happier. Top 14 reason I LOVE my Sissy Su-Su

1. She is stunning!! Seriously, beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes........no she is not adopted.

2. She knows every word to every song

3. When we were growing up and shared a room I made her scratch my back everynight (and she used her pretend cat claws- best story ever--just ask me)

4. Hard worker

5. Best cookie maker

6. She is a fun Aunt

7.Great sense of style

8. Even though she looks like a Barbie...she loves outdoorsie stuff, like: hunting, camping etc..

9. We laugh at the same things

10. She introduced Ryker the "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" song and danced to it.

11 She is humble

12. Lets me be a bossy big sister

13. She is the only one in our family with a "musical bone" in her body

14. SHE IS JUST THE BESTEST SISTER EVER.

Love ya

Look at her face in this picture....I don't think she knows what this is =)

Are you sick of Udall cousin pictures?? I hope not because their are plenty more to come.

Thanks to everyone who helped and Aunt Sharon for letting us use her house.

Tut Tut...It looks like rain

Well I love the rainy weather........could I handle it all the time no. But here and their, I enjoy it very much. The ONLY draw back is I have 2 active kiddos so not being able to play outside is a killer. We managed and still went and ran errand in the rain, we just can't be homebound. Good thing we had these umbrellas and rain boots.

I'm finally Private

This is why I had to go PRIVATE......look at the comments in the last post. WEIRDOS!!!

Craft Night!!!!

If you are in LOVE with this cute cute home decor......check out my other blog for more details.

Men + Jewelry= Barf-a-roni

Ok so Men and jewelry don't mix in my my world.....with 2 exceptions.........

Wedding rings.....which Shaun wears faithfully

and I will allow this.........

He is now in CTR 4 (they changed the names of classes again) and Ryker was SO excited to show me his new ring he got. He still has it on.....4 days later.

A few funny remarks have come about since wearing the ring and talking about what it stands for but this was my favorite.

Amelia took something of Rykers and ran off (she likes to tease him) so he ran after her saying...."Ameli you are going to have to wear a CTW ring for Choosing the WRONG!!!"

Holy cow I love this kid!!!!

And yes Barf-a-roni is a word.....I use it all the time when something is NASTY.

Oh and I know I'm lazy and haven't made my blog private yet......someday.

and a Happy New Year

Wow 2010....does that seem crazy to anyone else? Well here a few pictures to capture the day. The day after Christmas we actually went to Cali for 4 days, I will post later. Then came home to a messy house filled with new toys. Since we left the kids really didn't have time to play with their new stuff so while Shaun and I cleaned they played non-stop.

Here they are in Ryker new cool bed tent. I had a CareBear one when I was little and wanted to relive my childhood memories so we got Ryker one. He has been sleeping in it ever since.

This random picture just cracks me up. She wouldn't look at the camera but she looks like a pink bag lady.

Then New Years night Abe, Shantay, Briss, Sarah and Blake came over. I only took this one picture =( but Blake brought over the Wii and Ryker had fun sword fighting with everyone. After the kids were snug in bed we played a board game then rang in the New Year.

On New Years day my dad likes to plan a "Sellards Day Trip". Last year it was howling rock but this year with new baby Bristol, our CR-V needs tires and Sarah needed to get wedding stuff done, my dad with Abe's help...make his famous tacos. They are so delicious and my mom makes guacamole, pico degio(sp?) salsa and much more.

I spent a good amount of time holding this little nugget. She is like a little rag doll. Love her. Ps don't make fun of my hat....I love hats and will wear them all I want. =)

Then Millie found some of Wuggies chapstick and pulled a Miss Lippy (from a movie). The picture doesn't do it justice but she kept cakin' in on. Then ended up trying to eat it....I don't think scented wax is good for the belly.

Happy New Year.

Christmas Recap

What a fun busy time. I love all the family parties and things that we do to celebrate Christmas. We had our Udall Cousin gift exchange. This is most of the married cousins... I just love them.

Then after the party we decided to look at light in a neighborhood and saw this set up where this sweet old couple totally decorate their house and sit outside and let kids come tell them what they want for Christmas. We were just going to drive by but both kids wanted to get out.

Then we have one of Shaun's family parties. I love this because Leann (Shaun's Mom) has all the nativity dress ups and the kids love acting it out each year. Ryker of course always wants to be an animal. This year he was the donkey.

Millie sitting on Santa's lap.

Since Doug is a fireman's and usually is on duty Christmas day we have always celebrated Christmas with them on Christmas Eve. We always get matching PJs then open presents. Well this year Nolan the Policeman (yes we are a very protected family with a cop and fireboy) and he had to be on duty at 4pm so we got in our PJs around noon and opened gifts and had a big Christmas feast. What a fun day.

Cute cousins. We love Rileybear

Amelia's favorite gift was her Dora doll. Once she opened it she didn't care about anything else.

Christmas Morning...Risen' Shine....Ryker woke up at 6:30. He was so excited and ran into our room "Mom, Dad SANTA CAME!!!!!" It took us about 30 mins to finally want to wake Millie up and she woke up with a smile.

Beautiful morning faces. =) I know I know you all wished you looked as good as me in the morning hu??

Rykers loot: Video watch, Buzz boots, Dragon thing, Alien game, Diego dress ups, Army guys and storage house for them, Buzz cartoon movie

Millies loot: Dora stuff, my little ponies, princess chair, kitty kitty, laughing elmo, little people, mini van

\

Then after we got ready we headed over to my families house for a big breakfast. I didn't get a family picture =(

My parents got Ryker the ultimate Nerf gun...watch out

We thought this was funny....after they opened their gifts Amelia went and got one of her presents she got last year and she loves when my mom dances and sings with her...they were putting on a show for everyone.

Once again a great Christmas. I love the holidays and the time we spent with our families.
