It's Story Time...
Several of the stories we write about took place on the Sellner farm, however we do not limit ourselves to only creating memories there. Here are a few stories that occured in places other than the farm:
1. One time we were in the "bubble" at Gustavus to watch Sonni play in a tennis match. We decided to occupy ourselves in the balcony above the tennis courts by playing ping pong. Little did we know our ping pong game was going to get really intense and the ball was flung down into some random tennis match going on below. The tennis players, very concerned for our entertainment, stopped their match to chuck the ball back up to us. We laughed until the mother of one of the girl's who was standing two feet from us exclaimed "that's not funny!"....then we laughed even harder.
2. Another time we were gathered at Herman Heights for our annual family picnic.(it's only a family picnic if Bernice is there!) The giant Herman the German statue was supposed to be open as it was Labor Day...however, the lame slacker workers decided not to show up, in which case we were bound and determined to climb to the top of the statue. That day, we came to the realization that fences mean nothing to us...we broke into Herman the German and climbed the dang statue to satisfy our traditions..

Great Memorys...
Kelsey do you remember when we use to have water fights with Luke E. Ha of course we would always win! Do you also remember the time when we were just casually driving and Luke smashed his golf cart into ours! Nothing can beat this one, what about the time our golf cart got stuck in the ditch and Luke sent his maniac biting dog off the leash to kill us! Ha or maybe the time Luke showed up to your house at 6 in the morning to race your fastest vehicle against his! ha great times...

It goes both ways..
Yes indeed, I will be heading off to college next fall. It will be full of new people, new experiences, and new ideas. However, one thing I will thing I will never forget about is my friendship with Mikail, as I hold it so very close to my heart. As we are both growing older, we are about to embark upon new adventures. But I know that I will always remember Mikail, as long as he remembers me :)
Here comes December and we need your help...
The best part of December (Christmas) Days off of school, presents, and family traditions! During this December Kelsey and I would really like to increase our blogging traffic so if you would have any ideas we would appreciate a comment below. Typically we are looking for a holiday memory, story, or some advice you would be willing to share. The writer of the top story will be featured with their name along with their story on our blog, and if preferred their picture.
Thank You!!
Sincerely, Kelsey and Mikail

Dont forget to remember me....
As my cousin Kelsey expands her education and moves on to college in less than a year I only ask one thing, dont forget me cousin Kelsey! I know our stories will yet grow in ways now I can not imagine, but my advise to you Kelsey, and to you fellow readers is to always keep family close! Give that cousin, mom, brother or sister of yours a call and always remain close because in the end it will always be worth it. I know it will be worth it in the end, and Kelsey and I have been through much but i wouldn't trade her for anyone and i believe she feels the same way. :)
Memories!
Awww. so many so many, what to choose what to choose. Kelsey do you remember when we tried to sell field corn at the end of your drive way? Ha (didn't you tell on us?) After field corn sales where down, I hope you remember trying to sell cookies! Nobody would even give them a chance, but we got are revenge by blowing dust down his throat with our trusty golf cart. At this point in my life I realized that Kelsey and I were destined to be rebels, and that we would persevere through anything! I also learned how funny yet weird we both were. Ha!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Kelsey and Mikail here, uniting on the marvelous feast of the pilgrims. Not gonna lie, this has been the most pathetic thanksgiving of our lives. Nobody was there.....thanks guys. Nevertheless, we never fail to create our own fun. We will give you a run down of the day's events thus far: Mikail arrives at grandma sellner's at approximately 1:30. Around 2 Mikail enjoyed the luxury of the food being placed at the table because so few people showed up. I, Kelsey Sellner, arrived at 3:20 to begin this afternoon's festivities. As I walked in the door, to my dismay, a third of the family was sleeping(1) and the other two thirds were doing dishes (2). That folks screamed THANKSGIVING!! After briefly catching up with each other's lives (i mean it had been a whole day since we last saw each other), our aunt that secretly (openly) hates us showed up in her schnazzy car and parked in the driveway to avoid any type of golfcart collision. Even though dinner was over she insisted upon bringing food...as she carried in a pizza box, our jaws dropped to the floor and we began to chuckle. We laughed even harder as the box was opened and chicken, chicken, and more chicken were thrown into a bowl...yes my friends our aunt stole chicken off the buffet of a pizza parlor and brought it for consumption. As our laughter was contained, we went in the basement to relive some childhood memories (even though we're still children at heart). In a previous discovery, Mikail and I stumbled upon a box so disturbing we took pictures to show you. This box was in a chest full of family keepsakes (whether they should be kept or not...) On the outside of the box is a story of our ancestor, Annie Ecker, who got the flu back in the day and lost all her hair. She had it made into a hairpiece to wear. We will be posting pictures shortly of this disturbance. We could not believe our eyes and one the most disturbing facts about it is that it is the same exact hair color I obtain...this is no lie folks!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!

It's never too late...
It's never too late to create close ties to your cousins. Mikail and I have been the best of cousins for a long time, but not from the very beginning. If I would look back in my crystal ball to when I was six years old (Mikail being age four), I would have never thought we'd be where we are today. Mikail was a deranged maniac who was obsessed with biting me. He would chase me all through my house in an attempt to hurt me with his teeth. And I, on the other hand, was the mean obstacle, leaving him crying by preventing him from fulfilling his vampire-like desires. This phase was only temporary and before we knew it, we joined forces in an attempt to unite with our elder cousins who where always trying to ditch us. This post goes out to them, as they are part of the reason we are close friends today. Thank you Stephanie, Sonni, Jenna, and Becca! And just remember, even if you are gray and wrinkly, don't be afraid to call up your long lost cousin, because it's never too late!

There's no greater bond.
Clearly being cousins is the bond that holds Mikail and I together so tightly. However, not all cousins get to experience this bond. It takes a special charismatic attitude, laughter, creativity, friendship, mischief, and the determination to make memories that will last a lifetime. Our hope is that you gain a greater appreciation for all those in your life you share a bond with and never ever take family for granted!!

Cousin's Share Everything.....
Although things have been kept in the past.... to me and Kelsey Sellner secrets didn't necessarily make friends. Kelsey and I have been close far past the length my mind could ever reach. Throughout our extravagant blog we will be posting past, present, and for all you addicted readers, the future that can only be dreamt about in until we reveal a twist so surprising that Cousins arn't even aloud to share!
