Fun day around the house

2012-02-11T09:46:00.001-06:00

We have fun around here ! The weather was so pretty so we got outside and played ! We walked we fed the chickens and enjoyed the day outside.

Yummy breakfast place

2012-02-11T09:44:00.001-06:00

We have found our new favorite breakfast place ever! Not only is the food great but it is priced just right ! Madi and Weston approved! This has been our second time to go but I think we are hooked! Bobs cafe in ramer,al

Gown Session

2012-02-06T11:17:00.000-06:00

I recently Bought an antique settee to photograph formal sessions and baptism gown sessions. I fell in LOVE with it the second i saw it! My in laws introduced me to the ESTATE SALE world when we got married and started decorating our home and i have been hooked ever since! ITS awesome if you have never been to one email me and i will give you some places to find them. ANYWHO back to the baptism gown portraits. I took them in my studio and i am very pleased with the way they turned out! Madilyn was photographed in this same gown at the same age( 8months) and wanted to capture the same feeling so that when i hang Westons 16x20 framed portrait in our entry way i will smile just as much :)

weston Baptism

2012-01-03T14:39:00.002-06:00

We had a wonderful Baptism Service for Weston at Ryans uncles church right down the road from our home. Providence Presbyterian Church it was a beautiful service by John Schmidt our Pastor from Centerpoint Fellowship Church. Weston did a great job and didn't cry at all during the service (even when cold water was put on his head) :) The Church was beautifully decorated by Jimmy Sellars with cut greenery. After the service of singing Christmas hymns we went to the fellowship hall and had yummy food. THank you friends and family for coming and making it a special night.

Few more Christmas photos

2012-01-02T21:35:00.001-06:00

We love Christmas but try not Andover dot it. We try and keep it simple and remember the reason for the season!
Madilyn asked to make cookies for her mmo class so we did. She asked to make a gingerbread house so we did. It has been so fun! We went to see the tacky lights in Cloverdale . We had such a great Christmas truly blessed!

Christmas

2012-01-02T21:25:00.001-06:00

We had a great Christmas with lots of family and probably too much food and too many toys ! Here are few photos of the fun!

Merry Christmas

2011-12-20T21:51:00.003-06:00

Our Christmas card ! We had fun taking these on the porch in front of our tree .

My favorite 2 rooms

2011-12-16T21:29:00.002-06:00

I love my home is an understatement! I think it's one of the coolest places except for Cloverdale . I just wanted to share my 2 favorite rooms where everyone always hangs out. Ryan's uncle designed this home years ago and lived here for along time. He is an interior decorator and helped us do a lot of what you see. We go to a lot of auctions and estate sales to collect all of our goodies! It had taking 8 years to collect all of our antiques. These 2 rooms have pine walls and is an old farm house from the late 1800s . So cool! The rest of the house is pretty but not so ready to show it all.

Just us

2011-12-05T21:48:00.001-06:00

We have been having some fun being just us and hanging at the house . Madilyn loves her baby brother ! That might be an understatement . She just hugs and kisses him all the time. she calls him bruter brut ter so cute I'm not sure she even knows his real name is Weston . Here are some sweet pics of my babies this past fall.

Gymnastics

2011-10-27T17:06:00.001-05:00

Madilyn started gymnastics last month and just loves it. Her cici got her some cute leotards with her name monogrammed on them and she just looks too cute. She does the balance beam and forward rolls. Her best little buddy Leyton takes it too and they have so much fun playing afterwards and they get an icee. Here are a few pics of our fun lately.today they had costume dress up day and they had bouncy castles and big slides to play on it was so fun! The armory is a great place to go.

Fair

2011-10-20T16:25:00.002-05:00

We went to the fair sat and had a great time. We rode rides watched the pig races and watched the circus . The circus was my favorite. Madi loved riding with mommy and daddy the best. Here are a few pics of our trip .

update please!

2011-10-03T11:00:00.000-05:00

OK so i have not updated in sooooo long but i will try and catch up a little bit.
Weston and Madi are doing great ! Weston is 5 months today and Madi just loves him! She loves to make him laugh and smile/ I think its her goal every time he is up from his naps. He is doing so great with his napping . He goes down after being up for 2 hours and sleeps for an hour or so then up for another 2 hours sometimes less if he is really tired but usually 2 hours is his max. He is sleeping pretty good at night still waking to nurse a couple times.
We have been staying at home ALOT but im loving it! Its just too hard to get me motivated to take 2 kids to town more than that. We go into to town on tues and thurs and then sun for church. Madi is taking Gymnastics on Tues and thurs. at the Armory and goes to MMO on thurs at Eastwood School. Madi is liking gymnastics but is a little scared of the beam but she is doing it!
Weston is growing so big! last weigh in was 15lbs! He is starting to eat some baby food and loving it! I just felt so bad eating in front of him bc he was watching my every bite like hey mommy i want some! SO i gave in to start baby food a little earlier than i wanted to.
We went to the beach the last weekend in Sept and had the BEST time ! Weather was awesome and the water was beautiful! Madi was in Heaven she LOVES the beach ! Weston loved it too and wanted to be in the water as much as big sister. I cant believe how much the temp has changed in a week since we went to the beach. IM sitting here in fleece bc its 65 in my house. BRRRRRR :) but im loving it bc i love fall ! Here are some pics of our past few months.

Bye Bye House

2011-07-29T10:26:00.001-05:00

SOOO yesterday we closed on our home in CLoverdale that we lived in for 71/2 years. I have such mixed emotions. How to you say goodbye to your first House! I have cried a few times just thinking i will never walk through those doors again. SO last night i made a list in my head all the moments i will never forget.

Ryan and i picked you out to begin our life together
My bridesmaids and i spent the night there on the last night of being single!
Ryan carried me over the threshold the night of our wedding i have a blurry picture that the limo driver took for us. :)
Parties and showers with lots of friends and family!
COOKOUTS!
I was prego 2 times in this home.
We brought Madi home from the hospital
Madi crawled , and walked on your floors
she played on your porches
and drew on your sidewalk
2 of my dogs passed away
our cat adopted us
Madi had 2 Christmases and 2 birthdays
THere are sooo many fun times we had in this home! we moved in at the age of 22 and 23 and moved out at 30 and 31. We lived down the st. from the best places to eat in montgomery and fun places to go have a drink and watch a band. We have grown up in this house from Kids to adults, from college grads to parents.
Im fighting back the tears writing this but this house was more than that it was our home and we loved it.I feel like its a part of us.I loved everything about this house because it was so cute and i loved the neighborhood and our neighbors. CLoverdale homes are historical and have so much personality.
I will miss you but we couldnt live there forever we outgrew you but we will always love you.

We have been potty trained with a few struggles now that baby Weston has arrived but its ok we will get through it. SHe is talking up a storm and asks lots of ?SSSS and i mean LOTS!

WESTON ASHLEY

2011-05-09T12:19:00.000-05:00

WOW! what a week!

Weston decided he just couldnt wait to be born ! SO i went to the see Dr. Duggar on mon. may 2nd for my weekly check up. He wanted to see if i was doing anything yet so he check me and i was already 6cm!!!!!!!! OH my! he said i think we are going to have a baby today! So it was around 11am and he sent me right to the hospital to get ready for the csection. So i went to pick up ryan from work and we went to Jackson to have our baby! Weston was born at 1:21pm. 7lbs 8oz 19 1/2 inch. All the nurses kept asking me when did you go into labor and i didnt know what to say b/c it never really hurt just cramping . So i guess i was in labor for awhile. Ryan took care of sweet madi while danna slept the first night at the hospital. THen the next night Britten stayed and took care of me. I am so blessed with great friends and family.

We are now at home and and getting use to having a newborn and an almost 3 year old. Im soo happy that Madi LOVES her baby! She wakes up looking for him. She loves to help and kisses him. If he cries she wants to help him stop. She is just changing and growing up so much this week. SOO sweet. Ryan has been bonding with her so much . He takes her fishing alot and to ride the rino,feed the chickens and see the cows so mommy can rest.Weston is just the best baby so far! He is like his big sister Madi LOVES to sleep and eat. I have gotten alot of sleep so it helps to feel good.

Our guest house has really come in handy this week. Mom stayed 2 nights and Britten and Waker stayed 1 night and played all day with Madi. Love having help and i know madi has enjoyed the attention. I have taken sooo many pics of Weston and Madi but haven uploaded the ones off my camera yet. SO these cell phone pics have to do for now. I just cant catch madi with him though she is just to fast for the cell phone camera. SO i when i can get to the Imac to work i will upload some really great pics. for now enjoy this SWEET FACE! Im just full of LOVE!

Just born

Britten spending the night to help take care of me.

GOing home!

blurry LOVE

2011-03-10T13:01:00.001-06:00

Do you have a blurry or less than perfect pic that you just love! well i have several but this is probably my favorite. This was taken with a disposable camera and developed at a one hour in college 8 years ago nothing fancy about it and its my FAV! this is me and Ryan (Hubby) at Michael's pub. This was very early in a our dating stage. Look at how young! look out how in LOVE we are! care free! , no worries, no babies! wow time flies!

Today i just love how now just about everyone has a camera on them most of the time via cell phone,ipod,laptop....... its just amazing how far technology has come in a few short years.I remember and still have my first digital camera i got 8 years ago. It was amazing that i didnt have to take it to get developed to see the pics. I remember in college having a 3 or 4 throw always needed to be developed at once. Back then that was what everyone carried in their purse when we went out or did anything.
I do remember it being fun when you went to pick up your pics and saying oh i dont remember taking that pic and who is that? ohhh thats going to the garbage!.........
I still carry a throw away in my car just in case ! I have my cell phone camera and i use it all the time. I even have a memory card for it so i can take even more. I drives my husband crazy but if he had it his way we would take 3 pictures a year! I just cant let a moment go by and say ugh i wish i had my camera!

COW says MOO!

2011-03-03T22:06:00.001-06:00

The best thing about living in the country are the animals. Madilyn just LOVES cows,horses,and pigs. Our neighbors have Cows and horses. SO we can walk to the fence line and see the cows eating and drinking out of the pond. The other day we watched one cow for a long time. He just kept MOOING at us and Madi thought it was so funny. THen he would moo at his buddies across the pond and they just kept mooing. WE had a fun time thanks to the neighbors COWS.

Spring Has Sprung on the Sellars Farm!

2011-03-01T10:06:00.000-06:00

WOW winter just went away faster than i thought this year! It has been spring weather in the south since Valentines day ! WHich is very strange! not even a last fire in the fire place!
It has snowed in March before in montgomery though. SO we will have to see how long the warm weather lasts. But for now we are loving it! We have played outside till dark almost everyday. We go to the park down the road , and ride the rino and we even fished this past sat.
We have eaten lunch on the porch as much as we can. We just LOVE to be outside!
In baby news Weston will be here on May 9th if not sooner if he comes on his own.I just got my fabric in the mail and cant wait to take it to the lady to start sewing it. He is a mover and a shaker! I just love to feel him move all the time!
Madilyn slept in her big girl bed last night and she did awesome! she slept till 7:30 and didnt get out of the bed until i went in her room. SHe is really a big girl! now if we can just get her pottie trained!

fun pics of madi

2011-01-30T16:28:00.000-06:00

princess madi!

her friend Kylie playing dress up.

yee haw!

going by so fast!

2011-01-30T16:26:00.001-06:00

i just cant believe how fast this pregnancy has gone! Wow time has flown! we are having a boy and it has been the hardest thing to come up with a name we both LOVE! SO we dont really have a for sure name.

I am now 25 weeks so It wont be too long but it will be the longest part of the pregnancy. When you get big it goes by so slow! YOu just want relieved from the weight.

My sister is getting married 2 1/2 weeks after i give birth and im matron of honor! ugh what was i thinking or better yet what was she thinking! but i have made up my mind its all going to be ok i have done it before and he will be sleeping most of the time anyways. (HOpefully if he takes after his big sister) Madi was the best baby!

I havent been able to decide about bedding yet and its driving me crazy!I just cant make a decision in fabric.

Madilyn has grown up so much in the last month its so funny how over night they have so much to say. I think i love this age the most she is sooo funnY . I love to be with her and just hang out with her i want to remember everything about her at this age. I try to keep up my journal with inserts but just like this blog it comes in spurts.

She still really dosent get the whole baby in mommies belly. I try to tell her about brother but she will say baby brother but not really get it.

He loves to hear her talking and when she is loud he gets moving alot. He is very active right now and i love it. Its my favorite thing about being pregnant. Im so addicted to flavor pops i think its the ice crunch i love.

I hope to have some maternity pics taken soon by my friend who loves to take pictures too.

well until next time !

WE Have Moved!

2011-01-06T22:15:00.001-06:00

This is our new home!

The little house to the left is our guest house and my new studio and office and its AWESOME!

We are still getting settled and decorating but we are loving the country life!

Madi and I will go days without going into town. Then when we go to town we go to town and do all our shopping. I love seeing deer from my office window and while I cook dinner. Its like being on vacation everyday. The two houses main front rooms are original from the late 1800s farm houses that Ryans uncle had moved to the property years ago. He added onto them and made them just work of art! They are so cool on the inside with pine walls and the most beautiful hardwood floors you have ever seen. Ryans Uncle Jimmy Sellars is an interior decorator and lived here for i think 15 years . He bought another property down the road and totally remodeled a beautiful home where he lives now. ITS sooo beautiful where we had Thanksgiving . He helps us so much with decor and what needs to be done.

WE are just so happy to have lots of space for Ryans work and my studio. Its such a blessing!

Thanksgiving 2010

2010-12-16T22:11:00.001-06:00

Thanksgiving at the Sellars!

We went to Uncle Jimmys this year for lunch and it was such a beautiful day in the country. We had such a yummy and beautiful dinner.

DUE IN MAY!

2010-11-02T14:36:00.000-05:00

We are having baby #2 in May! We are so excited! Madi has no clue what is going on yet but im guessing the bigger I get the more she will notice. These images were taken last week at 11 weeks and it is soo amazing to see at just 11 weeks how much is already forming! Its a miracle!

Im almost 12 weeks so im still not over the hump of being sooo tried! and I have just a little bit of morning sickness that lasts all day. I will be so glad when i have more energy! Chasing a 2 year old and prego is not fun!

We are also in the process of packing up to move!!! We have been waiting to move for so long and we are now able to do so. I will post more on this later.

BIG SISTER to be!

2010-10-24T21:15:00.002-05:00

our sweet Madilyn

2010-10-14T13:11:00.000-05:00

Where does the time go? I can not believe my baby is such a big girl all of a sudden. She will be 2 1/2 in December and just cant believe it! She was just a baby and now she is talking so much and understanding more and more everyday. I just wish i could freeze time and i guess i kinda of do with photos and when i take the time with her and make sure she has love and attention. We all need to slow down sometimes and realize our babies wont be babies for long and all they really want and need is us and not 50 new toys or outfits b/c they dont care they just want us!

Walker 2006-2010

2010-10-07T09:27:00.000-05:00

WALKER (aka Walter, and Walkie) SELLARS

passed away Sept 18th 2010 on the kitchen floor surrounded by his family.

We had no idea he was in resp failure until it was too late. Come to find out some great danes are born with this disease and there is nothing you can do about it. They generally live 5 years with this condition and that is just how long Walker lived. We miss him so much and have had a hard time even talking about it bc we loved him so much! You miss a great dane more than a small dog bc of their size its like losing a human they are so big and take up so much space in your home and heart. There isnt a day that has gone by I dont think of him. Ryan and i have spent a few nights in his backyard and just say how quiet and boring it is without slobber face all over you wanting some attention.

So to all who want a great dane be ware that you will love that dog more than any other dog and miss them all that much more when they go bc they leave huge dog prints on your heart :(

We love you and miss you Walker

Family beach Trip!
WE had a great time on our beach trip last month. We rented a big 4 bedroom house in SEAGROVE for a week. We had a house full! Madi LOVED the beach and of course the pool. She loved to drive the golf cart! We would cruise on the cart around the neighborhood and to the beach. We played tennis and rode bikes it was a great trip the weather was perfect! We also took MAdi to see Shrek and she liked it but did not love it like the other 3. We went to see Toy Story 3 and she LOVED it sooo much!!

My baby is 2!!

2010-06-19T21:17:00.000-05:00

MY little outdoor baby!

2010-03-14T15:51:00.000-05:00

Now that we have been having a few nice afternoons Madilyn has really enjoyed playing outside. She really loves her chalk and Elmo scooter car. She really has a melt down when we have to come inside she cant get enough of being outside!

My sweet baby is growing so much before my eyes and im so blessed to be able to do that! Ryan and I were looking at her the other night and we both said she isnt a baby anymore she is begining to look and act like a big girl. It broke Ryans heart. Its so strange how overnight they are toddlers. Her foot has grown so fast and we had to get new shoes the other day. 6 1/2 seems so big for not even a 2 year old. I know any day se is just going to start talking and probably never stop! Madi will be the big 2 in June and im savoring every last day of her being 1. :(

Our Valentine weekend in Seagrove beach

We had a nice time at the beach last weekend but we did miss the snow on friday in Montgomery. Oh well I guess we cant catch a break on the weather. We go to the mtns in Dec. and the snow kept us from making it to the mountain house after driving 9 hours to the house. THen we got stuck in the snow and ice in the driveway. We had to haul everything up the hill to the house that we needed for the night in foot and 1/2 of ice and snow. SO we spent the night and drove 9 hours back home the next day. UGHHH what a nightmare. SO we go to the beach to get away from snow and boy we did. It was really pretty at the beach and had a nice time spending some time without the phone and daily routine.

Christmas 2009

2010-01-11T14:32:00.004-06:00

We went to the zoo and rode the train Madilyn loved riding the train and looking at the beautiful Christmas lights.We also saw Santa but she didnt like him at all so mommy had to sit with Santa too.

We had a wonderful Christmas ! Lots of food and family. Madilyn got alot of fun toys but the one she loves the most is her kitchen. She loves to open and close the doors and put things in her fridge and oven. I just love to watch her play.

We got to sit in a box and Madi had a blast running around looking through the big windows clap for players and cheerleaders. Here are a few pics to show how much fun we had!

Little Miss Piggy

2009-11-01T19:22:00.002-06:00

We started Halloween on Friday at Eastwood Church fall festival. Madi had so much fun running around and playing. She played a couple of games and got some toys.THe next night went to Frazer fall festival but it was so busy and not much she could do so we went home got some Tomitinos pizza and went Trick or Treating. We went with my dad, aunt and cousin down Thomas ave. it was a really great place to go b/c all the neighbors get into it and there were so many kids dressed up so cute. Then we came back to cloverdale and went a few more places to see some of Ryans customers. Madi really enjoyed all of it and when we got home she had fun sorting all her candy. I cant wait till next year I know it will be even more fun!

Poor Presley

2009-09-22T13:14:00.005-05:00

My poor Presley dog was bitten by a spider last week and was taken to heaven today.I have had him since my 2nd year of college at Troy he lived with me in the dorm as a secret. He was such a pretty chocolate long haired Chi. I am having a hard time with this b/c he was with me for 9 years.
My sister and i took him to the vet and got him lots of meds so he would get better but he just couldnt pull through. I put him to bed last night and he just wasnt looking any better and didnt have any energy but i didnt think he would die i just thought he didnt feel good his body wasnt giving any indication that he was dying . I woke up this morning and went to check on him and he had just passed. His liitlte body just couldnt fight the infection. I know he wasnt in any pain he never made a sound. I feel bad for his Girlfriend my other long haired chi. They were always together and now she will be lost without him. Ryan,Danna,Madilyn, Girlfriend and me took him to the farm and buried him. Ryan built him a box so he would be protected we buried him under a beautiful tree in front of the pond and we put big concrete stones on top so he wont be missed. I have never had to bury a pet before and it is awful. Eveyone love on their pet a little extra today for Presley!

Madiyln started MMO at Trinity Church for those of you that do not know baby lingo that is mothers morning out. SO Madi is going Mon and Friday. She has been 4 times and only cried a couple of times. She loves to go and play with her friends and eat lunch. Oh and she discovered bead necklaces and just loves to play with them that is why she has one on in the picture.
She is growing so fast and is soo smart! I just love watching her grow and play. She is sooo sweet and loves to love on her mommy and daddy.

Family Beach Trip

2009-08-22T15:50:00.003-05:00

WE had a nice time at the beach we went with my dad and sister a couple of weeks ago to the beach for a nice long week. We had a few hiccups but overall it was a nice beach trip. Dad had a few jobs pop with up from Pensacola to Apalachoila with the storm. Madilyn got sick really bad with stomach bug for 24hrs it was so sad b/c she has never been sick so Ryan and I were pretty worried when she threw up 3 times and had so many bad diapers.She cried herself to sleep then woke up drank alot of gatorade and was a happy girl again! We had some nice weather until the storm came in sunday night.
Madilyn loves the beach she would let us sit out there for hours before she was tired of it. We rode bikes and took walks went shopping and of course eating seafood! I will be counting down till the days next trip!

We had a weather scare right before the party.It was so dark and stormy at Lockwood pool and then the sun came out and it was sunny and beautiful!!!
We had such a good time with all our friends and family. Everyone had fun swimming and eating.Ryan cooked hamburgers and hot dogs. Madi did such a good job with her cake and loved every minute of her party. Im so glad that everything was wonderful and that Madi had a wonderful 1st bday!!

Happy 1st Birthday Madilyn

2009-06-16T20:07:00.006-05:00

Madilyn turned 1 on Friday June the 12th. I cant believe it has been a year already it has flown by! I have been so blessed to be at home with her this past year to watch her grow from a baby to a toddler.We made it a whole year without being sick one time!!! I am so thankful that she is such a healthy baby! She has started to stand on her own and walks holding on to everything. She has the best personality she smiles at everyone she meets! On Friday I took some portraits of her here are a few of my favorites.

Beach Bum

2009-05-17T14:40:00.007-05:00

When Ryan asked me what i wanted for mothers day i told him a beach trip would be nice. So i got searching for a place to rent i found a place that was having special a week for around 600$ if you know anything about renting a beach place you will pay around 500 for a 3 day rental so i couldnt believe when i found a 7night 2 bedroom for that price. So we booked it and it was on for mothers day weekend. WE went thursday Ryans dad had to have surgery and we had already payed for the place when we found out it was the same week so Ryan had to go back home early and couldnt come back b/c the rain messed up his week. So Madilyn and i stayed at the beach with my Dad and sister till thursday. We had the best time in the pool,playing on the beach. Madilyn loved the sand so much I couldnt keep her from eating sand. WE rode bikes 2 days and she loved that too she sat in her seat and never made a peep she even slept one day.I dont know how she slept with that big helmet on her head.
I hope next time we go daddy can stay longer b/c we missed him so much.This was a great 1st mothers day!

Growing like a weed!!

2009-04-23T20:43:00.002-05:00

Madi is now 10 months old and she is growing so big and strong. She weighs 18lbs 13oz she is 29 1/2 inchs long she really got her daddies height . She is pulling up on everything and takes lots of steps. She really crawls funny she spins and scoots until she gets what she wants. I have to brag a little that she hasnt been sick one time i hope we can make that to 12 months. I have enjoyed so much being at home at watching her grow up day by day this short year.I will cherish these last couple of months of her first year of life.She is so funny she laughs all the time and is always smiling. She loves to eat and i mean she will eat anything there hasnt been 1 thing she will not eat. The other morning i wish i had taken a picture but i was half asleep
i went to get Madi out of her crib and she was standing up with no pj bottoms and no diaper she had managed to get naked and stand in her crib it was soo funny but she got in bed with me and went back to sleep till 9:30. Everyday is an adventure I love being a mommy to my sweet little girl.

Happy Easter

Roan Mtn Trip 08

2009-01-18T17:31:00.003-06:00

We went to my mom and Roberts cabin the week after Christmas. It is 8 hrs away and it took about 10 but Madi did very good no crying she watched Elmos World ,Tubbies,and slept. We needed to get away after a busy Christmas. Its so nice to go up there and cook, eat, wear P.J.s all day and sit in front of the fire. We went out one day to take pictures on top of Carvers Gap. Madilyn did very good she was bundled up and road in her jogging stroller up and Ryan carried her back down b/c he thought she was too cold. We stayed almost a week and enjoyed it very much I wish that it had snowed so Madi could have seen snow, maybe next time.

Christmas Day

2009-01-07T21:38:00.005-06:00

On Christmas morning we opened gifts and cooked breakfast just Ryan,Madi and I . Then we all got ready and headed to uncle jimmys for the Sellars Christmas lunch. We had great food and opened more gifts. Madilyn had too many and she loved the paper and bows the most. We got some great pictures on Christmas.

Christmas night Grandan came to see Madi and bring her a Santa outfit which was too cute and a jumper to jump in she loved it!! The best entertainment ever to see her jump in that thing.

This was a great Christmas and I know that every year will just get better and better.

Madi goes for her 6-7 month check up in the morning so stayed tuned for her update.
