Thursday Fourteen – Nieces and Nephews

This might take a while, so bear with me.

Meet mine and McDaddy’s 13 nieces and nephews in order of their birth. (Don’t hold me to it because it gets very tricky especially when you think about 12 babies on McDaddy’s side who are all under the age of seven.

1. Louie Dylan – Dylan is my brother’s son. He was born just after I graduated high school and guess what? He is a junior in high school now. He is 17 years old and is taller than I am. His first love is basketball, with football coming in a close second. I was his babysitter when he was an infant, and he lived with us for a short time last year. He is a good kid and loves to wrestle with Stevie and Alex.

2. Clay Evan- My brother’s other son. Evan was born on Cinco de Mayo in 1995 which makes him 14 years old if my math is correctly (which most likely it isn’t! because hello? I suck at math!) He is in Middle School and is almost as tall as I am (unless he has passed me up in the past two months, which, might I add is entierly possible!) He loves to play his DS and is rarely seen without it in close proximity. He runs track and also sings in the Chorus. (He could also use a quick trip to the Dentist!)

Now, that’s all for my side of the family. McDaddy’s side is a very, busy, fertile bunch.

3. Kamme Annaliese- Kamme is the first grandchild on McDaddy’s side. I was thrilled to findout she was a girl. I was also thrilled that I got pregnant with Stevie about six months after Kamme’smom, because that meant that Stevie would have a cousin close in age on that side of the family. Little did I know…. Kammeis a bright child with freckles on her face and a huge vocabulary. She is home-schooled (2nd grade) and she loves to read. She is also very creative and loves horses.

4. Kalli Annette- Kalli is Kamme’s little sister and was born a short time after Stevie. She has a raspy voice and the sweetest giggle you will ever hear. Her nick-name is Kallibopper and for somehow the name stuck. She is also home-schooled (Kindergarten) and loves to play on the computer. She loves princess stuff.

5. Mallory Renee- While I’d love to tell you that Mallory was named after me (Julie Renea), she is not. Her mother, McDaddy’s sister, also has the middle name Renee and so I’m sure her mama was not thinking of me when she named her. I do however, tease her mama that she loves the mall so much that it only made sense to name her MALLory. Mallory is in Kindergarten and loves princesses too! She is a sweet little girl who loves her blanket andloves to be outside withher daddy looking for bugs or snakes or whatever else little girls want to findwhen they are outside with their daddies. She is also a pretty remarkable hula-hooper. (I love made-up words!)

6. Brooke Elizabeth- Brooke is a brown-haired, brown-eyed little girl who could be Stevie’s twin. Her daddy is McDaddy’syoungest brother. She enjoys playing dress-up with her little sister. She is four years old and is a great big-sister.

7. Madeline Day – Madeline is Brooke’s little sister and she has really cute curls all over her head. She likes princesses and dressing up like princesses too. She also enjoys playing with little sister, Brooke. Madeline was born just before Alex.

8. Zachary Michael- Zachary is a lot like my sweet, Alex. He has no fear and loves to run and jump. He also loves The Yankees! He enjoys watching Tom & Jerry and loves, loves, loves, Ka-Chow (Lightning McQueen) and Mator. He has a sweet smile, is loads of fun and is ALL BOY

9. Isaac Cade- Isaac loves to play withcars. He also likes to slide down the slicky slide and doesn’t like loud noises. He is a cutie-patootie with a sweet little haircut and big brown eyes.

10. Noah David- Noah loves any andevery kind of ball. He loves to throw balls andcatch balls. He is a picky eater withbeautiful blue eyes. He also loves to be outside!

11. Kirklen William- Kirklen has a hair full of pretty red curls. He makes the cutest elephant and monkey sounds I’ve heard in a long time. He is always on the move and loves to run and jump.

12. Annabelle Grace – Baby Annabelle is the baby of the group for now! She was born on July 4th which I guess makes her a fire-cracker! At five-months old, she requires her holder to stand up at all times which is not a big deal because who doesn’t love holding a baby girl? She has big, blue eyes and loves to play with the new computer she got for Christmas on Saturday. She will be the baby of the group for a few more weeks.

13. Lydia Kate – Lydia Kate is currently in her mama’s tummy. She will be the little sister to Brooke, Madeline, and Isaac. She is due at the end of December and I can’t wait to meet her!

While this should really be the end of Thursday Thirteen, it is not! I’m throwing caution to the wind today and making this Thursday Fourteen! *Gasp*

14. Currently, three of my sisters-in-law are pregnant. Obviously Lydia Kate is the first. McDaddy’s sister is pregnant (this will be her third daughter and her fourth child) and McDaddy’sbrother’s wife is pregnant withtheir second baby and their first daughter. That means that all three babies will be girls! McDaddy’ssister names all of her children with unique “K” names (Kamme, Kalli, Kirklen) so if you have any suggestions, I’m sure they’d love to hear them. McDaddy’s other brother’s wife is also pregnant. As yet, their baby is also unnamed, so again, any suggestions would be great!

Now, get to commentin! We need some baby girl names!
