Bdays and Names

 You will be getting this amazing post...(haha) on Tuesday if I post correctly! That will depend on me and my state of mind....

Before going any further into this post let me state here that I do not like this new set up on blogger. But then again, I am not a fan of the new changes on FB either. There is a button to change back to the old version on FB and it holds for 48 hours. I keep hitting that. I will be so lost when they take that away. 

Hence another change with my age....

CHANGE. I used to love change, and I am so not a fan of it anymore. Learning new things boggles my mind. A lot of that can be age but a lot can be the FIBRO. 

On yesterdays blog I told you that Braden, my youngest grand turned 10. Here is the line up~ 

Braden's bday is in Sept.

Caleb's bday is in Oct.

Dustin Jr's  (DJ) is in Nov. 

But then their mom, Amber, my oldest brat  child has her bday in Dec. 

But lets not stop it there~

Amber is the 

A 

Braden is the 

B

Caleb is the 

C

 Dustin is the

 D

 haha...

Of course the bdays were not planned. The alphabet line up was not planned until it got to the birth of the last child. Amber had the C and D and contacted me one day and said she needed names starting with a B. 

When I named Amber in 1980, Amber was not a popular name, but the year after it boomed. I got her name from a book I was reading at the time, the lady in the book was Amberleigh. I was going to go with Amber Lynn but then I changed to Amber Leigh. I knew in my heart that she was a girl.

Had she been a boy the name was to be Joshua Wayne. 

When Amber was pregnant with her first, Caleb, she told me that the dad wanted to name him Tyler Lee. I however was not a fan of Lee but it was not my kid. I did suggest after Amber telling me she did not like it that maybe something like Caleb Tyler, Cobi Tyler..and some others sounded nice. They picked Caleb Tyler. 

When DJ came a long I learned of his name when they named him that. He is named after his dad. Like I said, when Braden came along I suggest Braden. So I had a part in naming Caleb and Braden. Plus I was there in the room with all three of the births. .....oh wait, all four, I was there also when Amber was born...haha. 

Now that all that is out of the way~

for the past 31 days I have been hosting a photo challenge on FB. 

I had a list of items that I challenged everyone to play along with.

Sunday was day 31....rust.

It was fun. See what I can come up with to get folks involved again later on. 

Do you have issues coming up with pets names, did you struggle over naming your kids, were the kids named after someone else?
