Mookie

We're a nickname family...yeah, I know it's weird, but as brothers and sisters we almost never call each other by our given names. I think it's a term of endearment when someone gives you a nickname-I love them!

Here are a few we've got in our family:

Bekki-Aunt B
Gina-Beaner, Shmeen
Jennifer-Jenny fer fer
Trenton-Trentie
Kathleen-Nane
David-Daze

Adam-Shmadam
Bekki-Bek, goddess of all (that's my own creation)
Dallin-Big D
Garrett-Medium G, G-man, Goose
and now the latest addition to the nickname....
Maura-Mook or Mookie

Now there's a story behind all of them, but they will take tooooo long, so Mookie is the only one to share.

She has a cute little cow that is connected to her car seat and we call it the moo cow. So we started calling her Maura and her moo-cow, then Maura-Moo cow, then Maura-Moo, not a good nickname when you get to Jr. High School so whether it is better or not, it evolved into Mookie.



Jenny fer fer and Mookie....she looks like a Mook!

Mookie and Brannan...hmmm no big nickname yet (the poor guy is not quite 3 months old) we just call him "the troll".
