Name-sake (Ifeel like I spelled that wrong)
So I was talking to a friend who I had not talked to for a while and she wanted to know about the baby and what we named him. I told her we almost named him Max ( I kinda still wish I had named him Max-oh well maybe the next one will be Max - oh wait next time it will be a girl...Maxine? ....no way, bad idea.) Then when I was in labor all I could think of were all of the Dogs I knew named Max. I had a dog named Max. He was hit by a car on my sister's 13th B-day. Very tragic day. anyways, think about all the dogs named Max, the dog in the little mermaid, the dog in the grinch, I just heard some show talking about the # 1 name for a dog...Max. So we went to the second name on the list. Dave's 1st choice, Jared. I think Jared is a fine name and am growing more fond of it everyday. I started telling my friend the story behind all of my boy's names. Taylor was my maiden name, Logan, well my husband and I met in Logan and were married in the Logan Temple. Jared...named after Dave's cabbage patch kid. Yeah what are we gonna tell the poor kid. We can't tell him that. I guess it would make sense that it will be harder as we have more kids and names to come up with special stories of the inspiration we felt to name them the name we did. Oh well I guess it could have been worse, Dave's little brother Mike named his cabbage Patch kid, Shokey (like shaukee). It is a good thing Dave never looks at my blog, he probably would not like me to share with everyone that he had a cabbage patch. We still have Jared-the cabbage patch.

I never knew that Jared was named after the cabbage patch, that's amazing! It was my 15th birthday FYI.
This was the hardest I have ever laughed at a post! Picturing David with a cabbage patch kid...and then picturing someone naming their kid "shokey"...wow. Thanks, Nat. I needed a good laugh. I love how all your kids names have meanings.
I think that all of our hubby's have something that they just can't let go of.
Nat,
My mom needs me to come stay with her a couple nights, so I have to miss movie night. :( ...unless it happens to get changed to another night...I'll have to catch up next month. Love ya, though!
This post had me cracking up! You are a funny one. I think Jared is a great name, and maybe you could twitch the story just a bit and tell him he was named after his dads favorite GI Joe...
Natelli I am so glad I found your blog.Your family is so cute, congrats on your new little guy!I would love to hear from you. We should get together again. I have so much to tell you. Give me a call or email me. Steve says hi.

Hey Natelli...I clicked on your blog through Teri's. Thanks for the laugh! That was so funny...I think I'll be laughing all day! Hey..I know you're a reader ~wanted to know if you would like to join the book group blog. If you do send me your email and I'll send you an invite!
Nat,
So good to hear from you! Congrats on you new baby. Three boys you are so lucky! You look great! Good to hear from you and catch up!
Natelli--Hey there! I'm so glad you found my blog. I'm new to the whole blogging world, so I'm always so excited when I see new comments and find new people. I can't believe you have three little boys! You look great and have such a darling family. I love reading your blog. Thanks for the entertainment!
NAT! hey cute girl, I am glad you found my blog! I will definitely keep in touch :) Buffy aka Lindsey would update me on you and your adorable family. Your boys are so cute! They look like they are busy and would probably have a great time with mine!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the cabbage patch story! I laughed my head off!
keep in touch
ps you are one of the few people I know that can pull of the cute short hair. You look darling!
Oh yes, our husbands & their Cabage Patch Dolls! Gotta love them. I didn't realize that that's why you named him Jared though...now that's funny! I am quite confident in saying that I don't ever think that we will be naming one of our
children "SHOKEY" though. Call me crazy! Sorry that I couldn't come last night. I really want to for sure come next time though. Oh yeah & one other thing, did you realize that "JUNO" comes out next Tues. on DVD? You probably did, but I just thought that I would put it out there....
