Some Favorites

Anonymous asked: Who is your favorite sister?
Who is Aaron's favorite sister-in-law?

Who is Eden & Ava's favorite aunt?


Well, this is easy. My answer is... Cathy! Seeing how she is the only one of my sister's so far to come out and visit me in this southern country land of Tennessee! Ha ha ha, I can say this because I know out of my three sister's, Cathy did not ask this question. I love all of my sisters for so many reasons. I think us four girls are totally unique and totally the same. I love that they are all sincere and genuine women with their heads on straight.


Harlene asked: What is your favorite ice cream/pizza? What were you going to name each one of your girls if they were boys?

Hmm, my favorite ice cream is the good old plain vanilla, but ONLY if it's Breyer's All Natural Vanilla! This is always in our freezer.I know pretty boring, huh? But the great thing about this particular flavor is that it can be changed up according to my mood. I like it plain, I like it with frozen raspberries, I like it with a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup mashed in. This is yummy for my tummy!

Now for the pizza category I really can't say I prefer one brand of pizza over an other. I love pizza when it has fresh sliced tomatoes cooked on top, and I love me some goat cheese on pizza too. So I'll say that I like tomato, spinach, and goat cheese pizza. Although pepperoni ain't so bad either.

Thank goodness Aaron and I had girls instead of boys just for the name factor! We can not agree on boy's names for the life of us.

Aaron's choices for boy names: Darien, Nathaniel, McKay
Carolyn's choices for boy names: Owen, Travis, Alton

But then just now when I reminded Aaron about these names, he said he doesn't think he would want to use these ones anymore, so I guess we are back to square one.

The only thing we can agree on is the middle name. You can guarantee our son's middle name will be Noble... after his father's.

Hey, I love Nathaniel but, I guess I'm sort-of bias b/c that is Nate's full name! :)

Harlene said...

Believe it or not, we actually have a few boy names we haven't used. Theo and Augustus come to mind. Of course with 4 out of 5 Beckstrands being boys we also have several girls names waiting.

Love the vanilla ice cream myself. Love the reese's idea even better.

Haven't tried goat cheese, but I will just for you!

Noble Waite what a regal name.

Spinach, tomato, and goat cheese. That says a lot about a person I think.

Alton...hmmm I do like the show "Good Eats" very much. And of course, Owen is a fantastic name! Glad someone likes it, because my in laws could not get over us naming him Owen. "He can always go by his middle name, David" was a frequent comment from MIL!
Your blog is so entertaining!

Carolyn, I distictly remember chatter about the name Shadrack and Jamie can back me up on that too. Jme begged you to rethink Shadrack and announced that she was then immediately praying that you'd have a girl when you were preg with Eden baby. YOu remember that, don't you!!

I'm a vanilla girl myself! I totally understand!

Yummy ice cream combination. I thought Aaron liked Shadrack. I like all those boy names but Seth is more traditional like....CARL!

You made me hungry and Aaron was right on with Nathanael (spelled the biblical way), And I have always like Owen as a name.

Owen was my first choice for my second boy, but it got vetoed by the husband for family reasons. Long story. I love that name. And Breyer's Vanilla is the BEST!

I always thought Eden was going to be Shadrach (Shad) if she were a boy, named after your ancestor.
