What's in a nickname???

Because we are a little a lot corny ( I like to throw Michelle in there too but she, I don't think is as corny and wacko as I am) we love nicknames for people. I love to give people funny little nicknames that my close friends can appreciate. I don't mean derogatory nicknames, just little names that have to do with others personalities/situations (kind of like "The Situation" from Jersey Shore) that remind me of them.

Example 1

Here we have our crazy, wonderfully sweet friend Tanya and her family. 

Tanya, Brad, Eloise, Claire and baby Sawyer aka Kikkoman

Let's just say... Tanya LOVES to shop. She has several addictions like buying MacBeth Buckets, Mackenzie Childs, Petti Skirts for her daughters...the list goes on and I don't have enough space on blogger to list them all. Well one day we all found a great deal on petti skirts (shown below)

Ella and her daddy on her 4th birthday

Most of us ordered one or two of the fabulous bundles of twirl with the exception of....you guessed it Tanya!!!! I still am not sure the exact number of these beauties she ordered but let's just say it was above 10 and possibly above 20 but who's counting...right. All of this is to say... my little friend Tanya is now known lovingly as PETTI forever!!! 

Now even better...Petti's husband was working on a ladder one day and he gracefully fell from way up on the chimney top plummeting to the ground gouging his head open. He had to go to the ER to have a few X-rays and wound up with a few lots of staples in his head. Now what kind of friend would I be if he did not have a nickname? That would be no friend at all. Now he is lovingly known as... STAPLEHEAD.

Example 2

Like most people, my husband (shown above with the smile) can occasionally be crabby making life really fun for all of us that live under the same roof. When he is "having his moment" we very lovingly call him Grandpa Dale (his father who can at times be a wee bit crabby). He instantly knows to look at himself and about 95% of the time his actions are followed by .... I'm sorry. Just keepin it real here.

Example 3 and Final example for tonight

If you scroll down a few posts in this blogidy blog, you will see a really cute lady girl with short funky hair better known as Amye. Not only is she really sweet, but she is super duper funny!!!! So for the first time, I have had someone else give us a nickname. You got it, Amye came up with a good one. Michelle and I have our own nickname and do we love it!!!!! (Although Michelle is known as the VOR...Voice of Reason by some :) It is possibly the best description one could have for the two of us. We are Michelle and Kim now known as

Frame Freaks
