Saturday, April 10, 2010

Although I was brained washed when I was little to think my baby brother Danny was the CUTEST BABY IN THE WHOLE WORLD. He still had the best nickname we have ever come up with.
Stinky yo yo
it was because he always had a load in his pants
Colby picked his own nickname-- spike
Jessica was nickname -- bugaboo because she was just like a bugaboo in Destiny's song
Cryin' Ryan-- he grew out of it
Cute T Pie was Jessica's name for Brooklyn
and who can forget TANK, a name we had for Chelle for years
Grandpa called Dianna -- Bananas for years
I do not know how Rachelle even knew her real name as we called her Sissy, Bodean, Sissy bodean, earth
Tyler and Park were always know as the twins -- I still can't tell them apart
Ashlee was crash
and there was Aunt Chatty Kathy
and Aunt Susie homemaker
and Angie will always be our own baby alive before there was a baby alive
We called Brent - chugga for so long that neighbors did not know his name
we call hunter -- bubba
grandpa calls Ambree-- bean
and to our old lake powell group, we had Flash, my pretty pony, whoops-- I wish I could remember the rest

Nicknames always are sign of adoration and it seems like we are forgetting them
I hope not
the names bring back a flood of good memories

Hunter

I was tending Hunter and he can get into everything very FAST. We were up in the master bath where I have a small container with soap, wash clothes and razors. He picks the razor. Here is the conversation'
G: oh hunter, put that back it is dangerous
H: grandma I am just looking at it
G: no Hunter, you are holding it and that is more than looking
H: grandma, I am just looking at it -- okay
G: I would prefer you put it down and look at it
H: grandma I am looking at it
he puts it down and looks at it
