Ok.. so i have started to blog so many times, but don't have time to sit and edit.. so this is unedited, raw, and well.. just me :)

:)I have SOOOo enjoyed today.. I really miss just being home all the time, so i am trying to make the most of my time home.

Unfortunately the house work
still piles up and i spend many hours cleaning and scrubbing (we've had a flu bug) and washing laundry... but TODAY !!!

I played with my camera and my boy!!!

Josiah is sooo full of energy and today we decided to try play doh!!! HE LOVED it.. We also set it all up outside~~ which he is such the outdoor boy! Needless to say, Today was AWESOME!!! Even got some shots of the dog.. who i have a feeling was fed some play doh.. we'll see soon!! :) There are days-- many of them-- where i am humbled and proud at the same time!!

How do i have such a life!! I LOVE my life... the kids, the man, the cross, the

girls, my cell, my family, my church, my ... uhhum farm.. yes i love the farm :) :)

I know i do not Thank my Father enough~~ so Today i live in THankFULLness

of my gifts in my life!!! :)

Ps.. ANNNNDDDD i get to hear my favorite speaker Friday.. Ravi Zacharias.. WHat What!!! :)

AND yes.. Both Josiah and i APPARENTLY love plastic boots!!!

I think this is hilarious!!

2011-11-02T21:21:00.000-07:00

Ok.. so when you go outside here in EnGedi Farmland :) :) you MUST wear shoes... especially now that we have a dog that can not make it very far from the front door in the morning! The best shoes i have discovered are Jim's new boots.. THEY ARE PERFECT.. nice and high so no itchy grass.. slip right on without socks.. sturdy.. just perfect. EXCEPT-- it drives him CRAZY. Which i do understand, as they are not cheap boots, but his "dress" boots. BUT-- there they sit, right by the front door beckoning me to put them on to chase the dog (or Josiah) whichever sneaks out first!

So today-- My amazing husband-- comes home with a surprise for me ... THESE!!!

ARE they not perfect!! It does not bother me that he bought me these to get me away from his.. I do see a near future where i will put his on.. :) Well .. just for a laugh!!!
:)

Just some pics.. more blog to come

2011-11-01T20:49:00.001-07:00

The new goat.. and the new experiences that come with a Milk goat!! :) Ohh.. and a couple of monkeys too :)

In a Blink...

During our amazing Disney vacation i encountered a surreal moment.

I was walking toward our room on Friday night after an amazing day at the Disney parks. I had Josiah on the hip, Aubrey holding my hand, and Caleb leading the way-I looked back at Jimmy and smiled... My heart was overwhelmed by my life...

12 + years ago-- i could not have even Imagined or Dreamed this wonderful life!!! I was so desperate for one child, that i could not even dream beyond that! The desperate prayers, the over the top research on infertility, and the monthly agony of defeat took its toll on my ability to dream. That time, which seemed like a forever desert, was erased instantly by two little lines showing up on a stick!! :)

Words seem too small to put to the emotion of how i love my life!! That moment will be forever etched on my heart and mind, as a constant reminder of how My God is a Dream builder. Maybe not on my time schedule but definitely on His. I could NOT have dreamed a better life for myself in any alternate universe!!

Caleb- my world changer-- my genius, superstar, athlete, with the sensitivity needed to be guided by the Spirit... Such a handsome boy! So unaware of his abilities and future ahead!! -- my first miracle!

Aubrey- my Mother of Nations-- her love and ability to impact peoples heart is phenomenal. Her affection for arts, dance, (dancing sarah) babies, and people are so apparent in her! Spend 5 minutes with her and you will be in love and in the presence of a Gem!! My little gem!!

Josiah- my Fearless Boy Wonder--my little leader and warrior! His love for music.. and i mean all things music not just guitar apparently..is Amazing!! He will stop anything he is doing to listen or see music!! My favorite phrase, "Keeko Mommy"!! He has stolen my heart!! You can see in him a love for life, and all things boy!

Jim-- my love, my bestie, my heart-- This man is in all respects amazing!! I challenge you to name something he can not do {besides give birth :) } He is an amazing teacher, father, husband and provider!! He has introduced me to things i could never have imagined doing, nevertheless loving-- Offshore fishing, skiing, having our own garden, and "farm". He has taken this city girl to new ideas!!!

All this to humbly say: I am beyond Blessed!! A woman able to Dream and live out those dreams!!

Uggg

Posted 1 hour ago

Hey all…I know it’s been awhile since the last time I wrote. We have been waiting to find out what our next part of our journey is; whether it is with CHOP or Sloan. Okay, before I get into that, I will fill you all in what has been going on over the last 2 weeks.

So we finished out our time in Florida. Trey had a great time! It was nice to see him on the beach, playing in the sand and water, smile at the Disney characters, enjoy the rides and just relax. Eating was a problem and a major stressful time. We found out that he lost 2.5lbs while we were away (which is a lot for Trey.) We got back last Sunday afternoon and had a great visit from family friends and had a wonderful time at a friend’s house for Memorial Day.

Last Tuesday Trey had his port surgery at CHOP and at that time we believed that we were starting chemo at Sloan today, June 6, 2011. The original plan was to stay at CHOP and start chemo there. Well, basically it was a cluster you know what. We hadn’t yet been approved by our insurance company to go to Sloan, so after the operation, we went home. Trey was in pain that night. We also had decided to put the NG (feeding tube) back in because of the amount of effort it takes to get Trey to eat/gain weight. We started the feedings on Wednesday and yup, you guessed right…up came the tube and Mike and I had to drop it again…which in my opinion is the worst thing ever. Trey screams the whole time and fights us all the way. We really need 3 people now to hold him down, but we manage.

Last week was just plain crappy. We really did nothing but lie around and watch T.V. We made the living room into the “living room” complete with an areobed and all. It should have felt great considering we really haven’t sat in our house since March 20th. I didn’t touch my phone or computer for a whole almost week…wow:) Honestly, I sat around shaking. I haven’t really had a spare minute alone with my thoughts since March 20th, even in Florida, and it really wasn’t a good idea. Mostly I sat there looking at my baby wondering if this was really happening. I just can’t believe that this is happening. On March 19th we went to bed with a semi normal 4 year old that could walk, talk and at 5 am on March 20th, we were awakened with a little boy who had just had a stroke. That day I watched my little boy, surrounded by 20 docs and nurses, almost die in the very same room as me. His blood pressure dropped to 38/14 and the nurse asked me if I was ok with being in the same room. Calmly I told her I was fine and surprisingly my eyes were dry. I looked at the chopper pilot like he was crazy when he asked me if I was nervous about being airlifted to CHOP. Nervous about a helicopter ride?? Really, the entire ride I prayed into the sunrise that God would take us both now. At least if we went down, Trey wouldn’t know what was happening and honestly the thought of dying at that moment was a relief. I really don’t think that I would have been afraid. There is nothing more that scares me than the thought of losing my son. Then when we were at CHOP, we were sat down in a tiny room and told that our son had no chance of surviving this. No parent should ever have to hear those words. That day was enough to send me to the loony bin and the only reason I am not there is because of Trey. The last week was hard because every time I put Trey to bed, I kept thinking what if?

Anyways, so the entire plan is crazy and different from what we had originally thought. Our insurance company has denied us treatment at Sloan. We start the next round of chemo at CHOP this Wednesday the 8th to Sunday the 12th. We have to wait 2 to 3 weeks before the 8H9 treatment anyways, so hopefully the docs will be able to convince the insurance company that Sloan is necessary. We just found all of this out today. My nerves are shot. Last week it was back and forth between the insurance company and Sloan. Ugggg.

Saturday we finally got “up” and went to a fair, to dinner and to see Kung Foo Panda 2. It was a fun day and Trey had a great time practicing his Tae Kwon Do skills throughout the movie:) Today he decided he wanted to roller-skate and ride his bike, so that is what we did. The kid never ceases to amaze me. Tomorrow we are going to the Phillies’ game…woohoooo:) Thanks to our very special Phillies’ lady. We love you and are so grateful for what you have always done for us:) We are EXTREMELY excited, not just because it’s a Phillies’ game (we always are excited for our Phils) but because we are getting the Halladay (as in Roy) Box with other dear onco families and friends. Wooohooo!! Sounds like a great night to me! Thanks again special friend!!

So that’s it for now. Please pray for the insurance to allow us to go to Sloan. I mean, I don’t really care what they have to say….if we have to pay for it all out of pocket, then they can bill us. I feel very strongly about Trey getting this treatment. Also please pray for our neighbor. His name is Thomas; he is 12 and was hit by a car while we were in Fla. He had brain surgery and his entire left side was shattered. He will be in CHOP for 3 to 6 months.

Make sure you remember to kiss your loved ones before bed. You never know what tomorrow will bring. Learn to forgive and forget. That doesn’t mean you have to like everyone, but you will feel better once you do. People are people. James 1:19-2119 Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. 20 Human anger[a] does not produce the righteousness[b] God desires. 21 So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

Be quick to listen and slow to anger…..wow, if you know me, you know that is a hard thing for me to do. But it is something my mentor, a very wise and kind man, has been teaching me for the last 3 years. It has helped me a lot with living a better life in general. I will always be me and I will always say what is on my mind, but I have learned to listen, forgive and accept that some people just cannot change.
Sorry that this update is all over the place….my mind is running fast.
Faith, Hope and Love-Missy

You can join in prayer too.. @ http://www.causes.com/causes/124694

another AMAZING spring break

2011-03-23T14:31:00.000-07:00

I don't know if it is just me.. but i LOVE having my kids home from school~~ It makes me think that i would enjoy homeschooling.. but there are days :) where i just don't know!!We spent yesterday at Disney with Jules, thanks to my amazing friend Joyce-who is always so willing to sign us in~ anywhoooo It was an amazing and beautiful day!!! Perfect weather, perfect evening.. We started at Epcot and went to the countries, played some Kim Possible, watched some performances, rode Spaceship Earth, and then off to Magic Kingdom. Josiah was with us but most of the time on my back, which is difficult to get a picture of to say the least!!! We rode Pirates, went on the Big White Boat :) and Calebs favorite-- Laugh factory!! It was pretty funny i have to say.. We left around 9~~ Josiah and Aubs were OUT before we left the property!! And even my eldest fell asleep on the way home.. They sure are heavy when they are asleep these days!!!

Today we decided to stay home, "We" being all relative..it was 1 against 2 on going somewhere though! :) They would go go go go all the time if they could!! :) So we played on the back porch

with whatever we could find..bubbles, a tin, and water~~ nothing finer for my kids!! :) We even got Nana to come outside for a small period of time~~ had to put the tent up though.. She is not so loving the sun these days :) Daddy is home with us tomorrow so we are hoping to do the beach.. he came home today and surprised the kiddos with our first female goat! OIY.. but they are so excited.. she is quite shy and not ready to be pals yet!! They will not stop until she is though!! hahaaah

I have a page I follow for updates http://www.carepages.com/carepages/TheChemoKid/updates/2971025 and their last posting

has touched me deeply!! We really do take time for granted and me being the planner i am~~plans for months that i wish i thanked God more often for!! Please feel free to join me in prayer for Trey and his family as they fight this disease!!! and be thankful to our Amazing

Father that we are here, healthy, and able!!! Have an amazing Wednesday evening.. off for family time~~ (dinner) :) :)

Awe in just plain awe!!!

2011-02-21T19:47:00.001-08:00

I am hit~~ at random times~~ of the love i have for my children!! They are growing up so quickly! I am honored to not just be a mom.. but the mom of Caleb, Aubrey, and Josiah!! What a life.. What a day!!!

WHY oh WHY...

2011-02-09T12:33:00.000-08:00

Why O WHY must children grow up so quickly...

I doubt i am the only mama who thinks this but GOODNESS!! Where does the time go and how do i bottle it?? :)
I love these three babies!!

Caleb-- "Numbers 14:24 But because my servant

Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it. Naming my first child was one of the hardest things for me during my pregnancy!

When i read the verse above I cried for like an hour~~ Jim looked over and said-- Maybe we should name him Caleb?! :) ;) But he resembles this verse so very much to me! He reminds me of a Young Tim Tebow... Why?? I don't know... maybe that different spirit?? :) :) My young manchild! Shot his first deer

this past week and is excited about mounting it on the wall.. ACK!!! :) The life of a Sellers boy is full of ... surprises!! :)

My One and Only Girl Aubs

Colossians 3:14
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

She is sooo full of love~~ for family, babies, small children, dance, art, and giving. She is so fun to spend time with and loves with all she has! I love that she does not understand the "Cattiness" of girls~~ and i pray she never does! :) I took her with me to a pilates class last night and she stayed right there with me trying everything! :) This morning she told me her stomach was soooo sore!! :) She will try anything~~ as long as she is not alone ;) I could go on and on about her amazingness.. but you'll just have to check back later!! :)

Our Wee little Josiah~~ and yes i say WE.. as well.. he is a unique part of the family that everyone thinks he is theirs :)

2 Kings 23:25

Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the LORD as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses.

Ok so he is not a king (yet) He definitely lives life to the full and I know he is created for such great purpose.. He is sooo fun to play with.. If you ever just "drop" by.. the house may not have been cleaned yet because he always stands beside me while i am cleaning the kitchen and just looks up.. like Seriously Mom.. i am right here.. ;) :) and not moving til you play!! :) I love it!!!
I am blessed beyond measure by the little measurements of life God has blessed me with!! I can't wait for this new year and all the fun things we will do together

I am so grateful to be able to stay home and raise these little guys... YES there are days i want to join the work world.. but as Pastor Crystal always reminds me--I really don't want anyone else doing this job of mine! :)

PS-- I have a great husband too who works hard for me to do the stay at home thing :) just ... no pics of him on this picture day :)

2011-02-02T16:26:00.000-08:00

Help out a Good Friend!!!

A very dear friend of mine, Lori Ellixson, is Going Back to School!!!!!
She is going to be an AMAZING esthetician!!

What is an Esthetician you might say... Well i myself had to look it up just to figure out the spelling!! :) :)

Estheticians, also called skin care therapists, work at salons, day spas, and medi-spas. Estheticians are trained in the cosmetic treatment of the skin. They perform various cosmetic procedures including facials, body treatments, and waxing. Most estheticians offer a variety of specialty spa treatments.

.She is now working full time, and going to school, and is in need of a wee bit more money to pay this schooling off without accruing debt!! I love the Goal she has of doing it right!! She is willing to work during her (very few) available hours!! :) With work, school, and church responsibilities.. her times are quite lean :)SOOOOO Here are her hours of availability for any odd jobs, babysitting, or office work she can do to help get this all paid off and be ahead of the game...

Wednesdays 12-8
&
Sundays 2-8

It has been forever since i have blogged~~ i don't know why!!!?? JUST KIDDING.. three kiddos is .. well a whole new world is what i like to say! although i would not have it any other way!! ... except maybe another??? JK!!!
Caleb is such an amazing son! He is a straight A student with no real effort! He loves to read also~ a couple of books he has completed are Jurassic Park, Chronicles of Narnia, and his favorite is the Bible in Comic book form. He is definitely above average when it comes to reading and learning. I can not wait to see what he tests out at the end of the year! He is also about to embark on the orthodontist world. He will be Seeing Dr.Principe in Mt. Dora~~ who interestingly enough did Mema's Sellers braces, Jimmy's braces, and now Caleb. He will be getting a Palette expander (ick and ouch) and braces on the same day! He is somewhat excited and i am glad it is during the summer vacay as his speech will be somewhat altered for a time!Aubrey is the best little gal EVER!! :) She is sooo full of life and energy it is hard to keep up! She definitely has daddy wrapped around her wee finger!! :) She loves her brothers and LOVEs to color/draw/ and create artistic papers... lots of cutting papers involved and STICKERS!! :) She is finishing up preschool and can't wait for summer to dance with sarah at the church dance studio! She embarked on her first team sports these last couple months. Soccer has been fun and HOT!! she definitely enjoys it and has caught on quite well!!Josiah is a ball of laughter and joy! He is always smiling... well if he is well fed and dry.. :) if not.. well he gets a little whine going on. He has mastered the art of crawling and thinks he should be walking... already a couple bruises to the head from chairs he has pulled up on.. and then let go to stand :)... i was hoping to hit 10 months before walking~ but i am thinking nope!! :) We enjoy him very much and count ourselves blessed to have such amazing children.
God has put an amazing love in me for family and to see what we have growing up in our home makes my heart leap for joy!!
~~ looking forward to an awesome summer~~
Things to come: New photography business, need a name!! and new financial freedom by the crazy amount of work from Jimbo!!!!

I am sooo in love... <3

2009-08-26T12:24:00.000-07:00

I am so in love with my God and all that He has given me.. WOW.. even the little things that would only really matter to me~~ He takes care of:For instance... Today my wee little one had to get circumsized~ With Caleb they took care of that in the hospital and we had this amazing Doc.. Doctor Sovan... who I swear circ'd him in the HALLWAY.. it was so fast and C came back asleep!! it was crazy!! Anywhooo... we went to Sy's first appt and scheduled his Circ~ We requested Dr. S but it would have taken a month to get with him... BOOO.. so we decided to just keep him with his Apopka office pediatrician... So today... i bet you can see what is coming.. :) Dr. Belton (an amazing pediatrician we have been with for 7 + years) and she was out of the office! at first i was like NOOOOO.. i don't want the Nurse practitioner circ-ing him... no offense.. but i was already nervous for him. But guess who walks in~~ DR. S... i was in awe of God's provision!!! Seriously!!!
2nd-ly C's teacher this year... We have prayed that God would give us the right teacher for him while he is in public school... I know God cares about the little things as his teacher this year~~ CHRISTIAN woman... whom i taught her daughter in 4th grade about 8 years ago!!! So amazing... And aubs little preschool is at a church!~~~ WOW..3rdly... i have an amazing Husband who offers to do the 4 am feeding!!!!! and so much more... i have 3 amazing children who are healthy and a pure delight~~~~ i have 2 amazing cell groups that have supported me and fed the entire family during this adjustment to baby time AND super duper friends who are just there for me~~ One being Denise... who knew i cut milk out of my diet and brought me CALCIUM OJ and snacks for midnight time to help me and my feeding time!!! She spoils me... WWOOOOWWW.. How blessed am I~~~ i just get teary eyed thinking of how much i love my life~~ and no.. it is not just sleep deprivation.. the tears may be :) hahaha I love my super fam!!!

Went to doctors yesterday and discovered still at 1 cm... which to me is awesome~~ but i guess my cervix is needing a little bit of help :)
So we are heading to hospital on Thursday evening and going to begin the process of induction with some Cervidil... anyone ever had that??? hmmmm.. anyways.. we are planning the baby to be born Thursday night which would be SOOO fast.. but more like Friday morning.. Prayers of course welcome!! (would love it) and hoping for some ability to walk around during induction.. not just sitting there!! Hmmmm

Thanks for checking on us.. more to come soon!! :) lots to do.. house to clean and kids to pack!! :)

update on Baby S

2009-08-04T18:56:00.000-07:00

I went to see Doc today :) I love going to see if there is any progress.. as you may know~~ I have never been dialated going into the hospital~~ so i am hoping now that this little guy is head down we will start seeing some progress..
I am still quite posterior but the cervix is soft and MAYBE a 1/2 a centimeter dialated~~ she may have just been being nice!! :)
I am so thankful to God for turning this baby and allowing me to have my own miracle before he was even born!! Now for miracle number 2~~ dialation !~

Thanks for caring and for the prayers..
ALSO.. my amazing sister in law has her final day of chemo today and will now be recooperating 100%... We celebrate her birthday this week and I am honored to have her in my life!!

I have work to do to catch up to the uploading needing to be done on fotki :) but they are coming~~
www.fotki.com/legendofsellers

Keep praying God reveals the correct name for our little Miracle guy!! Thanks... we are honored to be parents again and have the honor of naming him for life!! OIY!!!

.. ok.. so an amazing story in my humble opinion!!

2009-07-29T07:59:00.000-07:00

A little bit long~~ but amazing none the less...
Our little baby boy, unfortunately still nameless~ sorry, has been breech for quite awhile. :( little stinker!!! So i started having contractions friday night about every 4 minutes, not painful per se .. just regular for about 2 hours. I did fall asleep and just prayed they would subside :) Which they did. I did not want to call the answering service at 2 a.m :) So Saturday morning i decided to go ahead and call the office (answering system) and just see what i was supposed to look for. YES this is my 3rd baby and i should know~~ but i guess having his foot pushing on my cervix is concerning once dialation starts...
So anywhoooo I get this Dr. i had seen once before named Dr. Breit. He listens and gives me some advice and then asks if they had tried to turn him yet. I said no, one of the other docs had said because of his position my chances were slimmer than average (which the other doc basically said best to just schedule the Csection and go from there as he was so low and foot right in my cervix)... so Dr.B says.. let's get you in on Monday early and set up a version for this week. (~some info on versions) http://www.webmd.com/baby/external-cephalic-version-version-for-breech-position
So jim was up early on Monday and put a call in for us to the Doctors office!! :) They couldn't get me in to the hospital for the version until Wed. but he wanted to go ahead and see me and check my cervix and all that hooplah!! :) so Nana kept the kids... and with advising from one of my BF's Joy~ i brought my packed bags :)

So we get there and Dr.B says.. alright lets see what we have. So I laid down on the table and he started feeling my abdomen right under my left rib and said.. There he is!! There's the head. and he proceeded to comment on how big he felt, how much he liked the position he was in... at this time Jim and Dr.B started talking about HEALTH CARE REFORM!! :) OIY!!! if you know jimbo... par for the course :) hahhahahah :O) So he continues Probing and i begin to think.. ok you have the kids head... why are you still pressing~ because now it is hurting and i am thinking what a little wimp i am :) hahahahahha. So as i focus on not letting out little blurps of OUCH, he decides to check the cervix.. all this has been maybe 2-3 minutes??!! at the most.. long minutes in my opinion. :) hahaha
He says let's get a quick sonogram and we will discuss from there. He tries to do the sonogram himself as he knows we are self pay~ but can't get the machine to work :) Quite humorous... So he leads us down the hall to the sonogram tech and tells us she'll have to do it. We are thinking he wants to get the position of the feet for Wed. version. Jim asks him if there are any risks with versions.. and he says if the baby doesn't like it~~ and doesn't respond well you tend to have to do a Csection~~ then states~~ "although i have never had that happen" I was so taken by his confidence i was at FULL PEACE about doing the version!!
So we get into the sonogram tech.. we waited a couple of minutes.. Doc walked in just as she was putting the wand on my pelvic bone and...
THERE WAS THE HEAD!!!!!!!! He said ok great.. he's head down.. could you check the heart... as i am SCREAMING Praise THE LORD!!! he just has a humble smile... and i was like WHEN DID YOU do that?? HOW did you do that? he replied calmly.. while we were chatting (and i was trying not to yelp)
I was in total AWE!!! He tells me to cancel our scheduled version and csection! :) WHAT???!!!!!!! crazy!!! i was flabbergasted!!! Seriously.. our next 3 weeks of life changed instantly!! I looked at him again... and was like HOW did you do that.. that is amazing!!!
SOOOO needless to say~~ i have a slightly bruised belly, and a head down boy!! WOW!!! God is soooo good and now i can start praying for a dialated cervix.. which has never happened at home before :) !!!! Hhahhaah :)
Thanks soooo much for all the prayers and love!! I am still in awe of my God and the timing and the amazing-ness of Dr. Breit~ a humble Doctor who changed my birth story and saved me some serious money too... http://www.wpobgyn.com/our-doctors.php#s2005020112310357

The baby room is coming along!! :)

2009-07-18T15:17:00.000-07:00

Well now that we know baby could be coming soon... If he doesn't flip head down :( soooo....i have decided to finish the baby room.. it is not quite finished but close.. i made my list of final things :) We decided to use the monkey pattern from the bedding to decorate the room~ the green from aubreys room was pretty close to the green, but was off just enough to look.. well odd! So my friend Denise and I decided we should paint the bottom part of the room dark brown to pull the green a little away from the bedding. IT WORKED... it looks so much better now.. then crazy me decided i wanted some kind of stripe!! :) Thanks again to Denise and Jimmy for the lines.. we made stripes... although with such textured walls i had some serious touchup to do!! Thank you to my Cell girlies who bought all the bedding!! I LOVE IT...
As you can see in his closet is my FAVORITE diaper bag ever!! http://www.ju-ju-be.com/packabe.html and the AWESOME toybox from Susan and Carrols' and some awesome clothing that was Calebs and some new ones!! :) Also in there is the AWESOME co-sleeper that my pal Crys B is lending me~~ and her breast pump :) hahahahha You can also see in the closet the AMAZING number of diapers Mema Sellers bought and my favorite pair of shoes for him... LIttle baby crocs!! I love them... We are pretty much set~~ besides a couple small things... and well A NAME for our final Legend of Sellers!! We are excited to meet him!!!

Update on Mom :)

2009-07-01T09:41:00.000-07:00

This is probably the best way to update everyone on the full story of Mom this week.. :)
Saturday night Early Sunday morning we sent her by ambulance to the hospital for some hernia issues... They ended up doing emergency surgery on 2 hernias, but they did not like how her heart looked.. still working on getting all previous reports up to date
By Sunday evening she began having some hallucintations... so the nurses took her off of her pain meds and she seemed to get better...
Same story of sorts each day.. Moments of restraining her arms to keep her from pulling out her IV's and tubes... which she has been doing quite often... due to hallucinations
pain is not an issue for her at the time...
Keeping her IV's and stuff in is... ;)
Please continue to pray as her blood pressure is high and she is needing to be monitored pretty regularly for the hallucinations and blood pressure...
thanks again.. if you have any specific questions or would like to visit please send me an email at jccseller@gmail.com

Learning to Can "Jar" Green Beans...

2009-05-19T17:18:00.000-07:00

Soo.. like my previous Blog stated... I am a Yankee! So when our garden started to overrun our fridge~~ I had to call on the brilliance of my Mother In Law. I have never in my life "canned" anything. Did not even know there was a process.. never mind a special aluminum cooker canner!!! :) I tried to take pictures to document which was difficult and to work at the same time... Although Jim was home part of the time and helped quite a bit!!
The first thing to do was "pop" the corners off and break the green bean pod into about 3-4 pieces. Aubrey helped too :) Mema was DEFINITELY the fastest!!! The result was a ton of green beans to can!! Next step was to boil (clean) the jars and keep them warm. You can use your dish washer but ours was already running. SOOOO then you put the rinsed (4 or 5 times) green beans in the jars... You use this tool... HAVE no idea if it has a name~~ but it looks like an oversized butter knife with no jagged edges. Anywhoooo you use this to get some of the air bubbles out of the jars and add more beans until all the way to the top! THEN ... you take the lids (also boiled) on the top, but not too tight~ and put them in the canner cooker :) which holds 7 jars...

Then you wait to see steam coming out of the pipe line thingy :) (don't you love how knowledge-able i sound) and then you put this bobbly thing on.. pic below ;)Then you wait til the temperature reaches 250/15 for 15 minutes... you have to stay and watch and make sure you adjust the stove to not go over 250. After 15 minutes you move the cooker over and allow TIME to bring the temp down to zero!! That is what takes what seems LIKE FOREVER!!!

Then you carefully ~~ using another handy dandy canning tool~amajig... you pull out the cans and set them down~ somewhere where you can leave them without them moving for 24 hours. Which was hard for Aubs.. she wants to eat them!! :) OIY!!! more picking tomorrow to eat!! :)

The Temperature at the end to keep it at 250 went all the way down to level 4 on the stove!! :) flat top stoves are different than ones with eyes i guess

Some amazing Photo moments

2009-05-14T16:26:00.000-07:00

Busy but FUN days

2009-03-03T15:57:00.000-08:00

Life has kept us quite busy lately~~ We have been out in the evenings doing church things so we have tried to keep the weekends fun time with the kids. We have done some cheap-o fun things though... First..well we have chickens~~ they are finally out in the garage and not in our home! Man they were STINKY!! and i smelled them a tad bit (ALOT) sooner than Jim. :) They have grown FAST!! Aubrey loves them :) she is our outdoor queen!!

We have picked strawberries at a super cool Pick your own Strawberry place here in Lk Cnty ~~ WE PICKED WAY TOO MANY.. :( We were not able to eat all of them before they went bad, but we did have our share of strawberries those next 3 days. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner!! :) hahahaha

We also picked carrots from Grandaddy's garden and ate them... That (i thought) that was SUPER COOL!! Althought my son Caleb is slightly silly when he sees me taking his picture!! :)

This past weekend we went to the park in Mt.Dora for some play time... We played on the playground, walked on the path through the "woods" and then sat by the "lighthouse" for some pictures! :) The kids SERIOUSLY RAN the entire time.. i was sooo tired just from watching them!! :) OIY
Baby #3 is growing by the day!! How do I know!! BECAUSE I AM!!! hahahhaah We may get to find out the gender on Sunday via a friend from Church. I am just ready to see the baby again...
Any guesses????
:)
hahahaha

An AMAZING DAY

2009-01-28T13:25:00.000-08:00

I don't know why~~ but i have been CRAVING the beach. I don't necessarily want it to be 100 degrees outside, but there have been days i just want to feel the sun as my toes are under the cold part of the deep sand!! :) WELL, yesterday... Denise (Austin's amazing mom) dropped Caleb off at the house, and i mentioned my weirdo (let's say prego) craving ;) hahahaha...

She was like..... me too!!!!...
I said.. hmmmm let's go!!! OK... AMAZING...
SO we did not tell the boys or else, well they would have never went to bed, or sat in their desk at school!! I packed up the car of the Dusty Beach stuff, found the sunscreen, ate some Cheerios and headed to pick her up... YAY
Not much else to say in words... except... AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
Seriously, I needed this day so much. I am so thankful to my husband: SERIOUSLY... who works so I can... GO to the Beach?? :) Thanks Jim!!!
Here is some of the fun... too many to post all :)
hahahaha
OH~~ and another thing... my Bible Study (cell) is going to a MOVIE tonight.. Could this day be any better???? :) Another... AAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhh sigh.....
Fabulous!!

I love my children...

2009-01-24T07:41:00.000-08:00

I love my kids.. especially with the third on the way i realize what a blessing God's gift of Caleb and Aubrey are... They are SOOO patient with me and my sloth-ness (which is finally disappearing!! I was lying down with all the window shades open to try to warm up!! YES~~ Christine's feet have been cold for like 3 days!! the lighting was beautiful and of course aubs was hammin it up!! So i grabbed the cam and took some pics!! :)
Here are my blessings from God...

SOOOooo after overhauling aubrey's room and rearranging her play doh and paints~ she decides she wants to paint. SOOOO i of course said yes, BUT i put it all outside :) She had a blast.. i loved the point where she was being super creative and wanted to combine all the colors to see what happened.. she found she LOVES the brown fall like color!! :) OF course her creations are on our wall.. THe other silly thing~ which i just love the pics~ was when she took the icicles package and put it on her head like hair... either that or it is a pom-pom and she is a cheerleader!! I am actually now bidding on an Alabama Cheerleading outfit ;) hehehee

I AM A SUCKER for family functions~ I believe God has given me a great love for family and this was the first time in years my side of the family got together~~ ALL of us.. Nephews, Sister, Cousins, Nieces, Great nieces, Mother in laws, Deb's family.. and more!! I LOVE having fun with people who share my DNA!! :) ahhahaa

My bro made a Kickin~ well not so kicking anymore but yummy~ turkey and an amazing ham. The rest of us brought tons of food, which was good with all the people that were there :) the first to go was the mashed taters and corn :) i know.. for many that is a weird combo thing to have at a thanksgiving.. but hey-- tradition is tradition!! Next year we will need to have more than 10lbs. of potatoes~ WOW!!!

I made some meals ~ all recipes from Mema Sellers... And they were a HIT!! :) woohoo for good cookingand good teaching!! The food was UNBELIEVABLE in amount and taste!!! Always good with a Coke too :) we all talked about what we were bringing or making.. but i think there was more..

We also had a game of football :) it was soooo much fun!! :) i am sore already though!! and wearing dress clothes with borrowed Nike's. I didn't get the memo to bring a change of clothes :)

WOW.. what a great day

Thank you bro for opening your house and cooking A TON!!

:)
WHAT a great weekend!!! :) My cell and I went to a hotel at Disney and spent Saturday at the Epcot food and wine festival... We had a blast.. what a FANTASTIC group of WOMEN!!

There are a ton of pictures (especially of ella) but here are some!! The crew in front of the ball... and little ella too :) I am kind of wondering if carrying ella gave me a sore neck! Probably not.. may just be all the walking around... or laying in bed watching TV... it is fun having Cable~~ although i am not sure i would get anything done if we had it here at the house :)
The Fireworks were the BOMB!! hahahahahah!!! Seriously~ they were awesome!! I took a ton of pictures but not all came out!! Some are awesome, but i couldn't put all of them up... check out fotki!! :) www.fotki.com/legendofsellers

Most of the group went back to the hotel, and Jill, Vanessa, and I stayed for the 9:00 Fworks... we had a pretty good spot and played a "famous people" naming game to pass the time!! It is pretty fun!! Me and V... I love that chick!!! and sweet ella... she does smile when i have her too :) by the way~~~ :) she loves me...
More pics on fotki!!! :) Check 'em out!!!

2008-10-22T20:26:00.001-07:00

Awesome Cookie Cake with Animals~~ By Mom Elaine~~~SOOO much more than cousins~~ In Calebs opinion they are his brothers, not cousins. Especially because they both love God and that makes them brothers!! :)

This year i was very out of it.. And my poor nephew paid the price. I know he looks devestated doesn't he!! :) ahhhhaha

Tooth out, with medication means I could not drive and get him a Birthday present!! Which i doubt he cares, but IRGH!!! Still was not able to go out and Jim picked it up today for him!! So sad! I love shopping for family!! Christmas is coming though!!
I did take some cutie patootie pictures of him...

I love my Nephews~~ and wish i could spoil them more!!!

I love the Pic of him laughing~~ he is such a HAM!! and enjoys being in front of a crowd!! I loved watching him open his gifts~~ He totals enjoys it!!

The moments outside with Elaine and Aubs was hilarious!!! The bubbles and soaps everywhere... and ryan and aubs.. Funny and SOOO cute together!!! How much fun is family!?? God sure knew what he was doing!! :)

heheheheahhahaha

Cool informative bit....

2008-10-20T15:31:00.000-07:00

I am passing this along from one of my favorite web blogs:

Damaged Disney DVDs
This past week, I spent time in two households with kids, watching their beloved DVDs with them. Unfortunately, in both families, the kids had worn out the DVDs and certain parts of the movies simply would not play.It reminded me about Disney's DVD replacement program. I know that I've mentioned it before, but that was just in passing. I figured I'd spell out all the details to you, just in case any of you are ever interested in watching Cars from beginning to end again, without having to skip past the scratched scenes. I found the following on Disney's DVD Technical Support page: If you accidentally damage or break one of your Disney DVDs, you can get a replacement disc for a nominal charge of $6.95. Please mail in your damaged DVD (along with DVD case and full packaging), a Check or Money order for $6.95 (made payable to WDHE), along with your Contact Information (Name, Address, and Phone Number) to: Replacement Program PO Box 3100 Neenah, WI 54957-3100. I thought that it was free before. I guess that is way too good to be true, but $7 isn't terrible. And remember, you can use this on DVDs that are in the Disney Vault, too.

Actual BirthDAY for Aubs...

2008-10-14T18:54:00.000-07:00

AUBREY is now officially 4~~ WoW!!!
We started off our day with your typical where is my favorite little girls smile?? I love waking her up and trying to get a giggle out of her~~ this morning was quite easy as she remembered it was her birthday!! BUT 4 year olds don't always understand the whole "birthday" vs. "birthday party"... we had some hilarious conversations! As did Caleb wanting her to understand!!

First we went to cell and had some new playdoh's to play with Mrs. D~~ and aubs got her birthday gift from Mama Crystal **I doubt she will leave her kitchen tomorrow with all the fun cooking utensils and plates!! **

Then we had to go to my Oral Surgeon appt... not so fun for her but i took her to Target after to return some duplicates and bought a Disney Princess Coloring Kit-- like her cousin RyRy's she said!!! :)

(PS-- those two kids are so cute together)

Then we went to Walmart to get some serious groceries. She saw the Nail Salon and wanted to get her nails painted** YAY for being like her mommy!! :)**

so yes .. she has Pink Nails...

I love this pic!! :)

Then we came home and decided to let her Fancy Nancy Balloon sail off into Never Never Land... but alas~~ when you live in a forest--- not so easy to accomplish!! :) It got stuck in a tree so we (meaning Jim) spent 10 minutes or so trying to hit it with a rock or whatever we could find on the ground>> the kids wanted to help too but i was worried about our cars :) with their all over the place aim.. BUT IT finally wiggled away (mostly by the wind~~Jim says from the rocks fllying nearish the balloon :) hahahahhahahaha

After all the fun :) Caleb and i played some Wii (star wars-- so addicting) after that... dinner then we finally had some serious cookie making time!

We had some AmAzing family time with some RIDICULOUS MESS!!! Have you ever made cookies with a 6 and 4 year old ;) hahahahahahah

*at WM i bought a box of 100 cookie cutters** I doubt i will ever need anymore again!! My little one was SOOOO excited!!!

Each kid picked their faves and we went to work~~

Jim helped them make the cookies while I made the icing.. Which for the first time came out fabulously!!! Yay for WILTON recipes :)

SooooOOo much fun!!!

i will spend tomorrow cleaning the kitchen~ but she is so fun to cook with!!! I also LOVE her outfit from Aunt Elaine and the family~~ which i have to say i am sure SHE picked out!! YAY for great clothes!!!

I am SOOO blessed by God for my family and what He has created in my life!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY little one...

2008-10-13T11:41:00.000-07:00

WOW!! We sure have a loved little girl.. I will let the pictures do most of the talking, but she could not WAIT for the day to come to celebrate her b-day :) SHE has spent ALL DAY today playing with babies, play doh, and "cooking"
This was a Fancy Nancy Birthday party!! :) Not everyone had heard of Fancy Nancy but Aubrey was informative~~ well really mommy and daddy were :) So here is an idea of Fancy! It was LOADS of fun!! Target was able to take one of the gift bags i bought and turn it into a cake.. they were amazing at the decorating!!! Everything was pink and purple~~ Pink and Purple go so well together!!! :) :)

We also had a pinata... aubrey kept talking about the thingy at C's Party where all the candy fell out~~ took me a little while to figure out what the heck she was talking about!!!

Daddy took some time before the cake and presents to speak blessings over Aubrey and prayed abundance over her!! He is such a good daddy!! Whose finger is tightly wound by a blonde haired, blue eyed cutie!!

SHE LOVES her Ella~~ and was convinced that all the tiara's were for her!! :) Ella loves aubs too by the way :) They are friends for life!!

Jim has the camera so i don't have many pictures from today, but i will post some soon!!! :) Thanks so much to all who came out!! We LOVE YOU!!!

Not much to say.. MUCH to show!!!

FUn @ School

2008-10-01T12:36:00.000-07:00

** The FUN of being a KID!!!!**

I LOVE C's school!!

C's Teacher is soo fun... I love that she teaches and does not just "manage" the classroom! She really is a remarkable teacher.. We have been very blessed at this school!! Today they went outside for some Physical Excercise~~ They played a Cookie/Cookie Monster tag game... C wanted to be caught and help be the MONSTER!! :) SO fun.. SO great getting the kids out of the classroom to exert some energy...

So much fun...

it was hot outside, but not so hot you couldn't stand it...

After fun time~ we went inside and Teacher read the class a book called Fancy Nancy (our little ones favorite at the moment)~~ so she put on her "Fancy" Glasses... It was awesome ;) and hilarious at the same time... She is so real with them and fun~~ She was not too thrilled i pulled out the camera... ;)

CALEBS WALK A THON

2008-09-29T19:34:00.000-07:00

Thanks sooo much to all of you who donated to Caleb and his school!!

It was a HUGE success and tons of fun too :)

The music teacher was amazing and hilarious!! He had the kids running, jumping, skipping, spinning, and going opposite directions... it was fun to be a part of !!

THANKS again for supporting my little man!!

C's best friend (the one in the red shirt) and his mom having a GREAT time running aroud!! She is sooo fun!!! :)

hahahahahahah

Each kid was allowed to go and get one snow cone (donations via Publix) Well actually Snow Cup :) After the kids would get theirs, they would still want to run! It was fun watching the kids try not to spill their icees but yet still run and jump and spin :) HILARIOUS!! Caleb actually tried to run and eat the Snow Cup at the same time :)

C had a substitute and so i was helping in the classroom more than helping with the walk a thon.. i really only got to help with the Kindergarteners and the First graders :) But unfortunately even though it is officially Fall~~ it was still SUPER hot!!

It was such a GREAT day~~ Thanks again for your donations :)

LIVING ON Five ACRES

2008-09-24T18:34:00.000-07:00

LIVING ON 5 ACRES CAN REALLY STRETCH A MAN... Last night in the middle of the night a SUPER loud noise caused me to JUMP out of my skin!!! Did the man beside me hear anything??? Um... no... It sounded like a FULL Shelf falling... I have put a number of shelves up in my days and unfortunately know that sound!! :) SOOOo i start to jump wondering if the kids are freaking!!
But then i saw my moms light go on..So she heard it too!! Kids were ok.. still sleeping! Whew!! That could have turned into a full bed!! So Jim checked outside.. nothing?? but alas.. in the morning light we discovered the noise Maker!! It was a tree~~ Falling onto Jim's TRUCK!! IRGH!!!!

Then later today... As jim is mowing the grass with our tractor.... Caleb is in the shower and is yelling for me... NOrmal i have to say~~ Usually means no towel :) But he shows me the water pressure is quickly subsiding (disapearing) into nothingness ... so i put on my faithful PINK crocs (yes... flourescent PINK crocs that caleb picked out for me) So i go out and flag jim down and tell him... water pressure down... We both know what that means...
Ran over a pipe!! :) so now it is almost 10 and My Burly Man is out in the yard... flashlight.. trying to bring us some water!!

The worst part is ... if he can't fix it... Where is he sleeping?? HE IS FILTHY!!!! :)
Must be doing somethin' right!! :) :)
God is good!!!

Cooking with Mommy...

2008-09-24T16:58:00.001-07:00

Well, for the last couple of days... whenever Aubs is around me :) (which has not been too much lately with the birth of the Awesome Baby Chiam!!!).. she has been asking to help cook!! :)
SO i decided tonight is the night.. so while her and her big brother were at Gymnastics~~we went to WalMart from some much needed food... and baking items..

ANYWHOOOooooOOO we decided to make some fruit and yogurt for dinner. Aubrey donning her favorite Apron from Memaw Sellers and I in mine :) (Thanks Memaw~we love them) I helped aubrey cut the strawberry tops off, and then she cut the rest. Along with all the bananas and the apples. I LOVE her little pampered chef kids knife!! She can't cut herself but can cut the food. It also teaches her how to cutcorrectly, because it has to be used correctly to actually cut anything ;)

With the fruit cut and yogurt in its container, we went on to the Heart of Palm salad.. SOOOO YUMMY!!! She cut the cukes and i cut the tomatoes and palm...

I thought that might be enough... But i was wrong!! HAhahahaha After dinner she wanted to make some blueberry muffins or cookies. We opted for the muffins.. She is soooo great at cleaning up afterwards too... i love it..

She really did most of it herself!! Except for putting in the eggs, and pouring the milk, she wanted to do it all. Trying to keep the right proportions in the muffin cups was a concept not for a 3 year old!! She wanted to just fill it to the top. As you can see from some of the pics below... she went a little overboard. We had some left over batter, so we decided to make some mini muffins. Target had a sale on 2 mini muffin Wilton pans for $1.25!!!! Good price and was perfect for our small portion of leftover batter!! YAY!!!

Waiting the whole 15 minutes for them to cook seemed like an ETERNITY!!! Both for me and for the little one asking every 30 seconds.. are they done?? Can i eat them now? Oh my goodness~~ I had to start laughing :) Can you imagine if we made a CAKE??? OY!!
I had to take out the mini muffins before i thought of taking a pic of the ones in the stove :)

Caleb was not interested in the least in the cooking, but when he began smelling the muffins baking his nose perked up... :) He decided next time we made them he wanted to help! :) He definately helped us eat them, which i have to say is odd. He usually will not eat anything cake like~~ very much like his daddy!!

Finally.... the prize at the end of the day!!!
Do you notice the lack of teeth in C's mouth :) Such a goof too :) Aubrey does not mind posing for the camera in the LEAST!!! :)

My Birthday Weekend...

2008-09-22T16:02:00.000-07:00

God is good..
We got a GREAT DEAL!!! Thanks MB!!

For my birthday Eve dinner... we went to a seafood restaurant on the water.. So pretty... Of course i had some pics of me with the kids!! :) then we drove around and saw some AMAZING homes!! Some people have boats bigger than our house (with moms part added) it was beautiful and crazy at the same time!! ;)

The kids had a blast at the pool and beach.. Doesn't she look~~ well NOT 3?? This is her Not gonna smile look :) hahahah then she craacks up!!

Can you see Caleb at the top of the slide... i think he could live in the water!! :0) His favorite hero right now is Aquaman!! :) Go figure~~

I seriously took about 7 baths... there was a beautiful Bathtub in the master bedroom~~ NEAR the tv.. with AWESOME law and order!!
SOOO much fun/ and i was able to read some good books!!

THEN i got home.. and was going to go to bed.. and Freedom called with WATER BROKEN.. so i went to the hospital.. There is just NOT a better experience!! Freedom did amazing!!! and Gabe was a Rock~~ what a good daddy!!!
GOD is sooooo amazing!! Watching a baby be born is so .... can't even think of a word!!

WOW... Wow!!

The Shack

2008-09-17T04:34:00.000-07:00

http://theshackbook.com/aimages/bookmarkad.jpg
Have you heard of this book?? Read this book?? It is amazing!! I was not able to put it down.. i went to Chapter 7 before I was able to go to bed... I had to find out!! :) It is a GREAT story of Fiction that i wish was REAL!!! Leave a comment if you have read it.. if you haven't... you should buy one or borrow mine!! :)

Seriously...

2008-09-11T07:25:00.000-07:00

I know some of the most beautiful pregnant women in the world!!! :) There is an amazing growth in our church~~ With babies AND new people!! About 8 women in our church are prego~~ and they do it soooo well.. it is so fun being a photographer and having pretty people with pretty bellies ;)

You have already seen Freedoms fun and gorgeousness in pictures... Look in august blogs...

SO soon i will have some pics of these girls... and their bellies.. and then their babies!!
God is soooooo Good!!!

Ok.. Blog number 3 for the night!!

2008-09-10T18:50:00.001-07:00

Ok.. so i have gotten stuck on the searching~~ Blog running i would call it... i have found some seriously cute STUFF!!!! Just some info ;) Here is one thing i like...

...Ipod, Music and a little dancin'

2008-09-10T18:40:00.000-07:00

THIS WAS HILARIOUS.. The kids were wired!! and we decided to turn on some music, and let them dance.. i have some videos but don't know how to upload them from an actual video camera!! :) The top is Aubrey's new dance move~~ Quite funny and amazing at the same time.. She would also sing and make up her own songs!!
The boys were having a "walking on hands contest" Caleb was convinced daddy one because he was bigger!! :) Caleb just scurried across the ground~~ and J actually walked :) SOOOo funny!!
I love mi familia!!!

Caleb is GROWING UP!!!

2008-09-10T18:24:00.001-07:00

This is proof!!! OK.. so the pictures are not that great~~ but i lent out my camera to Courtney for her trip to Scotland!! A Sellers School can NOT go to SCOTLAND without a camera!!! That would be CRAZY!!! and just WRONG!!! So now that Caleb has lost his first tooth.. He knows he is growing up :)

It wasy quite funny... i kept telling him NOT to lose that tooth before his Modeling Photo shoot this sunday.. He has a loose tooth on top too~~ But that one seems to not be so loose!! So hopefully he will have all his top teeth for the pictures ;)

Awesome web site for Kids games...

2008-09-05T04:48:00.000-07:00

I love this website... or at least i love this game... Aubrey and some of her friends may get this for Christmas...

You can find it at this website

A true righteous woman...

A woman who lived life..

the way life was supposed to be lived!!

A glorious reunion with her maker...

We will miss her

We love her...

and we will follow her example...

Fun at the Park...

2008-09-01T18:20:00.000-07:00

We decided Labor Day would be more fun if we actually left the house ;) SOOOoooo we headed up to the park with the kids bikes and walked/rode around!! A is almost at the point where we can take off the training wheels... and C is getting much better at riding on grass~~ which is a good thing where we live :) hahahhahhaha
The park is sooo nice... A's birthday party there is coming soon!!! They love the park and C gets soooo sweaty-- and A gets SOOOO pink and flushed :) I love it!!! Jim jumped on Caleb's bike and the kids had a blast chasing them~ I don't know if you have ever rode a child's bike .. but when you can't sit down.. WOW>>> MAN it burns the legs!!!

Then we saw Marcus and Erika and their beautiful boys-- walked over to watch the soccer team and saw Sandy and Matt --some old friends... stayed awhile... then went to Wendy's so the little ones could eat :) and then to Wal-Mart for a couple more office supplies!! :) YAY for new business..

Enjoy the pics.. and of course more will be on www.fotki.com/legendofsellers

Nana's Bday

2008-09-01T18:19:00.000-07:00

For mom/Nana's birthday we took her to Olive Garden for dinner-- a little early because of J's one meal :)

The food was Fabulous of course and the kids had a good time :)

Not sure if this is a hug or a Neck Choke :) hahahahaha... Nana sure does put up with it though ;)

Baby Rowan...and A

2008-08-29T06:12:00.001-07:00

YAY for surprise meetings... Hubby and i dropped someone of at Pete's to work on the addition... and i got to see Baby Rowan!! Mom is doing AMAZING of course!! She was just finishing washing her hair!! Looks great too!!

I am not too sure who was more excited about the baby: me or Aubs...

Rowans brother was not so interested... I was holding Rowan and she started to cry and he looked at me like- What are you doing... give her to mommy!! It was sooo cute!!

Aubs, the little mommy, was sooo thrilled to get to hold her... i was more nervous than Rowans mommy... so i kept my hands there ;)

SOOOO cute!!!

Can't relay enough how much of a baby lover Aubs is.. she stops dead in her tracks when we are in stores with random people :)

sooo FUNNY

Hubby got a chance to see Rowan for the first time.. I love the picture :)

School Days...

2008-08-29T05:47:00.000-07:00

~~~ What a weird start to the first week of school!! The first day of school was Monday, then off for Tuesday and Wednesday because of Storm Faye~~ and went to school on Thursday... then OFF AGAIN on Friday!! IT was BIZARRE!!! I am sooo glad C wasn't in Kindergarten!! that would have been a little more difficult!! A is soooo convinced she should be in school too.. she does her "homework" too when he does his :)

On the teacher meetup we were asked to fill out some paperwork. On it, it asked for one thing the teacher should know about the boy-- SO i asked him... His response (insert tears here) was that well mom... of course-- I love GOd!! Is that not just precious!!

He has a GREAT new teacher named Mrs.P. She is SUPER organized and full of amazing ideas.. She asked me to be the homeroom mom... (because i ws there every day offering to help) :) hahahahahahaha

Found out that Randa Bears little cousin is in class with C!! :) so fun!! He has no students from last year in his class-- except one little girl!! it is crazy how they switch them around!! He is doing well though-- reading to us each night...

He is a GREAT little boy!! :)

and i love him soooo dearly..

Long Expected and Awaited Baby Rowan

2008-08-20T15:21:00.000-07:00

I was able to visit today the hospital which held the presence of beautiful Baby Rowan (FINALLY) YAY!!! Aubrey was extremely upset she was not allowed to join me to go see her baby Rowan :) which, by the way, she has colored some serious Princess pages for her ;) hahahah She makes me giggle...

ANYWAYS, Baby Rowan Z Brunton is here and is BEAUTIFUL!! I got to hold her, change her, and take her on her first photo shoot!! SOME SUPER fun pics with her Aunt Sarah and later on Aunt Bla Bla~~ IT really was alot of fun~~ I wish i could do this for a living-- helping new moms with their babies :) and taking super fun pics!! Well i do have the opportunity to do the picture part~~ and maybe.. just maybe with all these babies being born i will be able to help alot more!! :) WOOOHhhHHHoooo

It is such a blessing and honor to be a part of taking family pictures and those precious moments that we look back on for a lifetime! I think that is why i like doing weddings and babies.. and well just taking pics ;)
God is sooo good!! I can not imagine having a better family myself-- or better friends to share these moments with! He has blessed me beyond measure-- and i must proclaim that as often as i can!!
I do not have photoshop so these are not edited-- except for some in black and white :) so bear with the rawness of them :)

THE fun of MAC!!

2008-08-07T14:06:00.000-07:00

I am in love with MAC..

My great pal- Susan- let me take her laptop home so i have spent some serious time editing and playing!!!

Here is some of the fun!!!

Disney Vacay

2008-08-07T13:10:00.000-07:00

Well it is finally come and gone.. :) :( Our Family vacation to a Disney Hotel!! Our pals for life, Free and Gabe, were able to get us some accomodations at an affordable price!! :) YAY for employees!!! :)

SO first of all.. i start tearing up at check-in... I know silly.. but i was never able to do things like this as a child- and i am really able to see the "lids" coming off of our lives... SO on to the FUN!!

The Pool had a slide.. that was amazing!!!

Did some Super fun pics of Free and Baby Boy-- who.. GABE NEEDS to decide on his name!! :) hahahaha

Swam more...

Ate....

Went to the a character breakfast at the Beach club-- where all the little ones got to meet Minnie Mouse, Chip N Dale, and Goofy.. so fun.. The kids all look like they belong to the same family.. Still find that funny!!!

We started in animal kingdom and LOVED the safari!! It was amazing and not too hot yet...

Then we went to Epcot- so Aubrey could have lunch with Princesses!! IT was hilarious to watch her get all shy!! Caleb too.. he was NOT so interested.. His comment was... Where is the beast?? Can we go ride Soarin'?

Then off to play in Tomorrowland!!! It really was a FABULOUS.. but OH MY LAND was it hot.. Caleb now looks even more like he belongs to some other country!!! :)

More to come....

Caleb's Baseball Camp

2008-08-02T20:26:00.000-07:00

Caleb LOVED his baseball camp.. i believe this may be the only camp he has ever gone to-- i need to branch him out!! :)

Anywhoooo-- He was sooo great out there. We were very proud of him

Getting his Shirt from Coach
I brought him lunch so he first (of course) scarfed down the Doritos... He is definately

A Sellers!! :)

Aubrey said she wants to play next year.. there was one girl out there so you never know!!

Makayla's Birthday Party

2008-07-22T16:11:00.000-07:00

YES.. Pink hair spray.. Who Knew...
WOW.. does he not resemble Jim... And somehow my brother David at the same time???
What a fabulous Creation of my God!!!

MY NEW FIND!!!

2008-07-22T15:56:00.000-07:00

If you ever need some furniture.. there is a fabulous furniture store.. I LOVE antiques... but i also love the contemporary/ clean/ straight lines... HOW DO YOU DO BOTH???

I don't know yet.. but i bought it anyway :)

My NEW/OLD wardrobe closet...

I will eventually strip it and bring it back to its original mahogany wood... But I couldn't wait to put it in the house!!! I would have had to keep it in the garage until I was done!! So i decided to wait~! Isn't it beautiful though...

I was actually quite shocked Jim was interested in letting me buy it!! :) i am thrilled with it!!

At some point

I was taking pics so i could show Jimmy, but he decided to come by and see it... Aubrey was my "ruler" and was giving me an idea of how tall it was... I LOVE the drawers inside... :) WOOOOOOOoooOOHOOOOOO

IS she not a Q-T!!

PS.. yes she has pink hair still :)

Our Aquatica Moments!!!

2008-07-08T16:35:00.000-07:00

Actual Gymnastics class

2008-06-26T08:09:00.000-07:00

These classes are soooo NEAT!! I wish they had them for adults- or i had done this as a child would be better :) I am not so limber anymore...
This is them stretching :)

... they stretch forever!! :) Which i guess is good routine for them!

Caleb's back handspring in the making...

Aubrey LOVES the trampoline... She does well jumping backwards too :)

Caleb jumps SOOO high..it is amazing to watch kids catch on to their potential and skills and learn new things :)

Thanks granddaddy!!!

The Kids and their summer stuff!!!

2008-06-26T07:56:00.000-07:00

I have been working quite a bit this summer and have had to make some arrangements for the kids.. Which they have thoroughly enjoyed!! The first thing was Dance class-- Yes, Caleb was in Dance class!! They did gymnastics too.. They had a small production on the last day and Caleb had a very small part....

He held these for the girls... and then sat down!! HE was hilarious.. You can tell by the face he was THRILLED :)... hahahahahah

Then they did gymnastics like stuff..

Caleb loves the round tube-- he loves jumping over it on both sides and then jumping backwards and more!! I LAUGH so hard when he gets stuck on top-- neither feet nor hands can touch!! :) hhahahahaha

Aubrey's gymnastics talent ;) hahahah

She loves her "Dancing Sarah" who is now with Child!! YAY!!!!

YAY FOR MORE SUMMER FUN!!!

One of the first things i found.. was this wonderful spider in the back yard.. :) I HATE SPIDERS!! But what can you do??!! I have also noticed that the spiders in the house... eat roaches!! i haven't seen a roach in our house in Years!! :) YAY!!

Ok.. back to painting.. IRGH...

Family...

2008-05-28T17:38:00.000-07:00

I Loved our weekend.. I know there are a ton of pictures, and of course no one is surprised! Friday night I rode up with the kids and Mema... We got there and got settled (well a little) in the condo and then went to the pool... The kids just couldn't wait!! As we are there- Jim and Pops came back to the condo with our DINNER!! :) The guys cleaned the fish and then joined us in the pool- and then ate some YUMMY din din!! We relaxed and played and had an AMAZING family time!! Pops and Jim and Caleb met up early Sat. morning with Jason, James, and Brandon to go fishing!! Mema, Elaine, and I stayed at the beach and pool with the wee ones :)

SUCH a great weekend...!!

More to come!!!

Saturday.. Weekend Moments!!

2008-05-28T17:06:00.001-07:00

Caleb's Very first 20 mile off shore fishing trip. He caught his first fish -kingfish- and he had a BLAST!! He is definately his father's son.. and his grandfathers boy!!

Uncle Jason and Brandon... with the long fought Jack!! and then... they threw it back!!

These two-- Aubrey and Ryan-- are hilarious!! They play together AMAZINGLY and had a blast just sitting in the water and running from the water!! Such cuties!!

Aubrey loves her Aunt Elaine-- She couldn't get enough! Ryan had to fight to get in there :)

An Amazing Weekend.. The beginning- Friday night!

2008-05-28T16:23:00.000-07:00

How cute is my boy???

I love this picture.. How much does Aubrey love her Mema!! :) They are having a blast in the pool while we wait for the Men to come home with dinner!!!

This picture will definately be on my wall... It looks like he is just a praising the Lord and running off into the sunset!!

LOVE IT!!! Mom Sellers and her silliness!! LOVE IT
