Weekend Fun!






This last weekend my family that just moved here came by the house for a BBQ. It was alot of fun and we also went swimming at the pool. Hannah NEEDS to get in swimming lessons b/c she literally walks into the pool and keeps on walking until her head is underneath. Not a fear in the world about not knowing how to swim yet. Will not hold anyone's hand or listen either. Ryan had to carry her in the deep end and that was the only way she would be fearful when she couldn't touch the bottom. It was a great day and also soo nice to have more family living nearby too. So the name game.....I agree with the comment my cousin Laura made about it needing to be a traditional name like Hannah that is not soo common, the problem with this is that Ryan doesn't not really like traditional names for boys and ladies i may actually lose this abttle unless I can come up with something he hasn't already shot down. Out of all the names I posted last time the only one we "agreed" on was Anden as Ryan doesn't like Micah (I do!), the other two were just detractors. It will not end up being any of those names though as we are still on the hunt for the name that fits right and that we both LOVE!!!!. By the way, since it is a boy, he cares A LOT more about what the name will be! Inevitably this one will be up to him. If you know Ryan you know that there is no pressuring him either way into liking any name. BTW -Melissa, he does happen to like your brother's name Tayson! My favorite name right now is Brennen (I love, love, love, love it) but I have not yet be able to totally get Ryan on board b/c he feels that a double consonant looks too female in any name and I feel with one it just doesn't look right (Brenen). Let us know what you think about spelling. The pis are of Hannah and her second cousin Cayman playing and then Ry & Hannah at the duck pond on Sunday.

Nathan's brother will be Chase so don't name him that. It was amazing that we agreed so quickly. How about Carter, Parker or Aiden? Somewhat traditional, not too ordinary. Just let Hannah pick the name, Good luck!

You also have Arden, Anton. Name picking is always so hard and I find it more difficult for boys ...

Nice family fun ;) It's scary when they are not scared of the water (there are so many kids drowing every year ... )

Hi,
Great pool /pond shots!

Sorry but I don't like Brennen as a name for a boy. To me a boy like that sounds like he should be sitting in a cafe, drinking endless lattes and writing poetry. (Okay, please, please...don't take it wrong if you read this and your little one is named Brennen.)

How about Russell? There's a strong, manly name. The 'R' honors Ryan's name, and it conjures up gladiators, right? I also really like the name John, and of course James.
