Farmer Nik (and Me)

This was taken when I was still pregnant, at my parents house
Shell

Thought I'd take a pic of us

Shell

Out cold

I had to buy bigger (3 month) onesies cuz she's getting to big for the newborn ones.
that probably isn't interesting news but it's hard not to snap pics of her every minute when the camera is sitting next to you. and now i know how to download them on to the computer
I've learned so much since i married nik.

One month old and still cute as ever

These weren't taken on the day she turned one month but they were taken a few days before and some a day after.

Before Going to Work

Man it must be nice to sleep through the entire morning like that. Not that I'm jealous or anything....

Pacing Lizzy

I wonder which side of the family that comes from?? ha ha (Nik's for all who don't know)
Every time he holds her, Nik can't be just sitting down, he has to pace up and down the hall to quiet her down. I can just sit with her. he he

Nick names or Nik names

So. I don't usually respond to memes (unless they're really cool) but I was thinking about doing a post like this anyway. This post was from Janet's blog, btw.



Nicholas - I go by Nik - not Nick, but Nik. The story behind this goes back over 10 years and the only interesting parts of it are "and it really ticked off my dad, so I kept at it" and "now everyone knows me as Nik without a c and I can't change it" so I won't tell it. Shell also calls me weirdo (hence the blog name).



Rachelle - Goes by Shell by me and some family. Just Shell. and skinny minny, but her dad calls everyone that



Elizabeth - is NEVER called just Elizabeth. We normally call her Lizzy. She has also been called Miss Elizabeth, Wiggle Worm, Stinker, Grumpy guts, Liz and probably other stuff too. I tried Betty when she was first born, but she is NOT a Betty. I have also called her Lindsay and Shell, but those were mistakes



Gomer doesn't need a nickname his name is GOMER! but he seems to have picked up the most in the house. he is Mutsky, Dumb Mutt, Doofus dog, gomie, psycho dog, etc.



so that's our nicknames. As for tagging someone else.... I aint gonna!

Lizzy pics

I sent this pic to all the uncles, aunts and parents and brother, sisters. I got this outfit at the thrift store, isn't cute.









I got this outfit from Nik's sister Cheryl and the bonnet is from Nik's other sister Michelle.
