Brooke's Baptism

My sweet baby Brookie was baptized on Saturday.

She was so excited that morning.  She got up and we did her hair and got ready to go to the church.  We had to be there at 8:30, so it was an early morning.

When we got in her dressing room she just couldn't hold in her emotions.  She was so sweet and kept telling me how glad she was that she had made the choice to be baptized.

We took some pictures and soon it was time to begin.  She was the 3rd baptism to go back.  Our neighbor, Jim, and Grandpa Hal were her witnesses.  She only needed one dunk and was happy about that.

Nana and Aunt Eva joined me in getting her dressed and then off to the confirmation.

Dane got very emotional during the blessing.  Brooke is such a miracle in our lives!  She is a gift straight from Heavenly Father and we really felt it at that point.

Afterwards it was back home for the Open House and a relaxing day.

We love our sweet girl and her great decision!

Silly Seeleys x 13

This weekend we got a quick visit from the 7 UT Seeleys.

The trip was short, sweet, and relaxing.

We swam, swam, and swam.

Other activities included:

Mario Kart

Rock Band
Movies
Eating lots of sugar
Rosa's
Shopping
Naps
Sunburns
Did I mention eating?
Many, many Cokes

...and so much fun we wish they would move back.

Thankfully, we'll see them in a few weeks when we visit UT.


Now, onto our next guests...Auntie Dorrie and Rick!

Are these kids getting big or what??

Six Silly Seeley Sayings - 6/6/2010

1. "Don't you like the nipples on my face?" -Brooke, when speaking of the FRECKLES on her face.

2. "How can you be recording it with the Wii on?" -Elena, when inquiring how we could be recording iCarly and play the Wii at the same time.

3. "Look at his yellow teeth!" -Brooke, when watching a memorial profile of John Wooden.

4. "Is this where the trap door is?" -Drew, when inquiring about whether the clothes from our new washer automatically drop into the dryer when done. (Someone please invent this!)

5. "No bun please." -Cassie, when telling us how she wanted her burger and hot dog for our Sunday BBQ

6. "It feels like food in my teeth." -Brooke, after discovering that her first 6-year-old molar is coming in.

Busted!

So, I admit it, I used to be a neat freak.



I used to mop and vacuum the floors daily. I used to shine up the bathrooms, toilets, and appliances...DAILY! Why? Besides the fact that I had the time with small children and a stay-at-home schedule, I was always worried that somebody (who knows who) would come and see my house out-of-place.

Since tackling full-time employment and full-time motherhood, the house has kind of fallen to a WEEKLY (or sometimes BI-WEEKLY) cleaning schedule. My Mom even offered to dust after seeing the inch of the stuff on my table. She was here over Halloween so in my embarrassment, I just told her that the dust was part of my decorating for the holiday.

However, the best came today when I found some spare time and decided to vacuum the floors. Brooke came up to me all excited and asked,

"Who's coming over?"

Yes, I guess that would be the only other time we clean around here lately, when company is coming. Nice!
