I'm Probably Going to Regret this...

Every year my family does a "Sellers Variety Show"..we joke that we don't have talent but we have "variety" so we do some pretty funny things. We rarely makes it to Texas for "the show" so we often send a video. As I was looking over some old files I came across this one. I don't know what happened to the last part of it but I think it's pretty funny. haha (It's a spoof of Sandra Lee from Semi-Homemade on the Food Network...the only show I like on that network. :-)

Merry Christmas! Now go out and embarrass yourself on your blog for me..heck after Bell's this is nothin' right?!

Re-Fashioned by Muahhhh!

I've been following this blog for a verrryyy long time. I LOVE everything she designs and redesigns. I often visit her site and leave soooo inspired to pull out my machine and make something beautiful. So a couple of months ago I was visiting her site and literally thought, "I wish I could sew with her. I wish she would offer a class." and No Lie, I scrolled down a tad and saw a posting that she was offering a Re-Design class and the best part...she lives in California, WITHIN driving distance. It was meant. to. be.

Well, I attended the class and it was everything I hoped for and more! Alexis is a beautiful woman inside and out. Faith and family are the most important things in her life and that along with her amazing creativity just draws you to her. All of the ladies that attended were wonderfully talented, kind, and the type of women you want for your neighbor/friend!

Well, without further ado....here is my ReFashioned blouse. This is seriously made from two $3 shirts from Wal-Mart and it took me all of 3 hours to make this! I love it. I'm so addicted that I have a million ideas of shirts, dresses, etc for the girls and me that I can barely sleep...now where to find the time!!!!

(Alexis is in the striped shirt.)

Happy Birthday Travis!

Happy Birthday Travis! I miss you more than ever and think about you every day! We celebrated your birthday today at a park that I would have taken you and the kids to. You can see the Sierra Nevada mountains from there. It was so cold (well 40 degrees!) and a storm was coming in so the balloons went up and away so quickly that I'm quite certain they made it to Heaven for your party there.

Much love and many happy memories when I think of you!

Can't wait to see you again, love you, Sarah

Texas Time

I have sooo much to blog about and I can see why I got behind...narrowing down our pictures from our trip to Texas was really hard. Apparently so hard that I chose 20+ pictures! Whew! Well, the good thing is that it's few words and lotsa pictures, which I personally enjoy more than lengthy - word-y posts!

Roman and his cuz, Ethan. They are only like 6 weeks apart. Love those two!!! Roman wants to thank Ethan for giving him a ride.


"Gaga" as Ethan calls her and Baby London. We all took turns "wearing her" because she is THE cutest accessory ever.


My brother David (Roman's hero of the trip!)



Cousins Galore... 25 Grandkids that my folks have, crazy huh?!

Hero David again..with Ethan and Roman.

Papa & Roman watching The Cowboys!

Me and the girls at my elementary school!

Me and the girls with my BFF Julie. She is now a teacher at the elementary school that we thought we ruled! I don't know if that's good or bad karma for Julie. hehe

My mom and dad with Kelly (#10!) and her beautiful baby London on her blessing day. It was so beautiful and I'm so glad I got to be there for it. Kelly is a wonderful mother!

Me and my Beautiful Mama.

Me and Jill (#6) Looooovvveeeee Her!

These are the "babes" that are about 6 weeks apart.

Jill's girl Brynn, 1 day older than my boy Roman, who is 6 weeks older than Marianne's boy Ethan and Travis' girl Aaliyah!!! They do not like being forced to sit on the couch and take a picture. PS - They are much cuter in person...sorry they were so grumpy in this pic.
