Terrific Two's

My sweet baby is 2 years old today and I can't believe it. She has been the perfect addition to our family. I want to remember all the fun things about her:

-she has the cutest little voice and will try to say anything you ask her to say--she talks pretty good for a 2 year old.

-when I ask her to get something or tell her we need to brush her teeth she listens right away and says "ok mama"

-this girl could EAT around the clock. She is always asking for snacks and treats and cocos (crackers)

-she won't sit still for a picture.....her eyes always look away from the camera

-she has sooooooo much energy........keeping up with her and Ryker is exercise enough

-she is 2 and STILL has to have her "Be" (blanket) and "Papa" (paci) ALL THE TIME!!!! I have no idea why she calls them those names and I don't care what others think, I'm not even going to try to take them away yet. Hey I asked my dentist and he said her teeth are fine =)

-Along with her wanting to eat all the time she HAS to have "sauce" with everything......ranch, ketchup, salsa, sour cream, peanut butter etc..... she loves to dip.

-She loves Dora the Explorer

-She loves to have her daddy sing "yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me"----seriously she is OBSESSED

-she loves her baby cousins

-she still sleeps in her crib and has yet to try and climb out.

-she is and has been a great sleeper

-she is so so silly and cracks us up all the time.

Mr and Mrs. Wells

Wow another Sellards made the big leap and is Married!!!! We couldn't be happier and love Blake. They are a cute cute couple and it will be so fun to watch them start out their new life and grow as a new couple. Well I'm still recovering from all the wedding stuff but EVERYTHING turned out great and not a single problem. Ok here is the run down....I'm bummed because I didn't any any pictures at the reception, luckily my mom got a few.

Here we are Thursday night getting everything set up!!! We had such great help and we are grateful for all the amazing people who did so much!!!

Me getting the sign-in table ready

Well we got everything set up in like 6 hours and I was home by 10:00pm to get some sleep because the Wedding day was going to be a long one.

Blake and Sarah Wells

Our family is growing and I love it.

The proud mamma and daddyo

Awe....the classic sissy picture.

Once again Millie woudn't sit still and let me take a good picture, but she was a cutie and Ryker was my handsome boy.

Now for the reception........Thanks Amanda for helping with the sign-in table, it was so cute!!

Food table

Blake and Sarah LOVE Root Beer so they had to have some at the reception.

They also had cinnamon rolls for dessert. Obviously My Piglet can hold her own when it comes to eating them.

Well What a great day and I'm really mad at myself for not taking pictures of the luncheon that day as well. Sarah and Blake, I wish you the best, marriage is so fun but it takes lots of work to keep it going. I know you guys will do great and I'm looking forward to all fun times our family will continue to have.

I can't wait!!!!!!

Ok I'm just dying for this wedding to come already!!!! I'm sure Sarah and Blake are even more excited than me =) But can you guess which 2 cutie-pies are going to be wearing these darling dresses??? Oh and one of them will have cowboy boots too.....TO DIE FOR!!!!

Oh and check out my other blog for a fun playmat idea!!

A Bold Fresh Wedding

As you know we have ONE week till SuSu's wedding. So Last Saturday I loaded up Millers and we picked up Sarah to go run more errands. Millie was a trooper and went in and out of several stores with us. We were looking for some tall topiaries and found something better....well my car is not huge so we crammed 5 tall plants in and poor Millie looked like she was in a jungle. Love her. Well I then had to get to a baptism later that afternoon, so I headed home changed my clothes, went to the Baptism of a nice nice man in our ward. Then raced back home went to a few more places, to get home in time to go to an EVENT I have been waiting weeks for!!!!!

Both my TV loves.......O'Reilly and Beck are doing a Bold Fresh Tour and since they can't possible visit every city, they broadcasted their live show to 500+ movie theaters so obsessed fans like me could still see their show!!!

It was great!!! I went with Shaun and his Dad, Shaun more less came along for the ride. I loved every minute of it. We were the youngest people there, ALL OLD PEOPLE--whiched surprised me but I was clapping and cheering right along with them. As Shaun and Doug just laughed at me. No I'm not a out-of-control right winger......close though =) I just don't like where our country is headed......Mr. Obama is a modern day Robin Hood.....steal from the rich to give to the poor. Well I'm sorry but that is not what I'm all about.

Well at least I got a few hours break from wedding stuff, but as soon as I got home around 9:00pm, Sarah and Blake showed up to help paint. This wedding stuff never ends.

I had a great weekend.....I'm so looking forward to the wedding, Valentine's Day and Birthdays!!!!! I {LOVE} February!!!!

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.
