An Opinion Needed

So...we have been going back and forth on names since before our children were even conceived.

Our little man has been Ryder James since last October I think....but our precious little one has been everything from Brooklyn, to Maizie. I was settled with Maizie Marguerite (Marguerite after my dear grandmother that passed away on Christmas Eve), but then only to find out Maize is a derivative of Marguerite...so now we were naming our child the same name...plus I wasn't sure if Maizie would make a suitable CEO :-)

So I then decided and was set on Bristol Maize...then Sarah Palin comes out of the blue with a daughter whose name is Bristol...

So my question that I pose to you is...do we go with Bristol, or should I start back at square one? I love the name, and it isn't that Bristol Palin is pregnant at 17...it is the simple fact....

WILL IT BECOME POPULAR LIKE CHELSEA DID WHEN THE CLINTON'S WERE IN OFFICE?

Baby Shower

First and foremost....thank you again EVERYONE for coming, and overwhelming me with the amount of presents that I received. I still go into the babies room waiting for it all to disappear because I feel as though I am dreaming.


Debbie did such a beautiful job hosting the shower, in fact I burst into tears when I walked in and saw how much work she went to for the babies and myself. The entire nursery floor is stacked about halfway up the wall with gifts, not to mention each of the babies bed are full of tiny little accessories.


Would you believe that I received Juicy Couture snowsuits...does Debbie know me or what ;-)

Jon took so many pictures that it is so hard to post them all, so I will post a few and when I can figure out how to do a slideshow I will showcase some more.


I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family as well. My other Mom and Dad (Brian's parents) as well as my sister-in-law traveled all the way from Park City to spend the weekend with us, my sister flew in from San Diego, and my mom and dad made the trek to Reno after only 4 weeks post full hip replacement surgery. Jennifer and Elle Ray made the trip over the mountain from Discovery Bay, what amazing friends we have!! My shower would not have been the same without the love and the support from my family and friends, we love them so much, and are so thankful that they made the unselfish trip and traveled hours just for a few hours of fun! We love you guys!!!!!!


So...I will work on a slideshow and showcase all of the goofiness and fun that we had! Thanks again everyone for making this day so special!!!
