Nicknames

If someone was to ask me if I had a nickname, I’d probably have to say “Twiny” or “Twinner”. Nothing super imaginative. It probably originated simply from somebody not knowing what twin I was. Austin’s nickname is “Dawg”. He was called that all throughout High School and on all his sports teams. I’ll have to ask him how that came about. His dad still calls him that and all his high school buddies. It's kinda cute to see him get together with all his buddies and hear them call him that. You might catch us calling Dax “Daxy-pie” or “Daximus”. Wyatt we like to call “Wy-man”. Again, nothing too creative or special, but fun nonetheless. However, Quinn by far wins for best (and longest) nickname in our family. She was nicknames by Dax and it caught on in an instant. You can hear the boys call her this many, many, many times a day. Here she is...
Quinner-Winner-Chicken-Dinner-Had-A-Wife-Who-Couldn’t-Keep-Her-Put-Her-In-A-Pumpkin-Shell-And-There-She-Kept-Her-Very-WellSee? Pure awesomeness.
Side note: Her hair is still as wild as ever. The first picture just cracks me up to see it all spread out.

That is a top-notch nickname Bryn! Loved, loved, loved it !

Not many know this about me, but I am an accomplished, level 4 nicknamer. Yeah, it’s taken a few years...

I know we’ve only met a couple of times, but I’ve already nicknamed you “Bathe-those-dirty-boys-Bryn”! :)

Keep the blog alive, Bryn. Love the content. It’s fresh, family, and sometimes a little sideways...good stuff...

Steve, I love that one of my sole followers has finally started leaving me some comments! I'll wear my new nickname proud! :) I can hear your daughter in every word you write. I think we'll get along just fine as long as we avoid any Jazz-Laker banter....just ask Britt who always wins those! Despite that, you've done an amazing job raising your daughter who I couldn't love more!
