What's in a name?

So, with another Little Smittle on the way we have the tough task of naming him or her. So far all of our children have vowel names, so we've decided to stick with that.
With that being said, we are working hard on trying to find names that we both agree on that go with our other kids names. We like to have both a boy and girl name picked before the gender ultrasound so that we can start to identify with the baby as a he or she and let the kids start to call the baby by name. Well, the ultrasound is in about 4 weeks, so it's getting close!
Names on the current list include:
Eli(this is our number 1 boy name)
Avery
Audrey
Amelia(Probably our number one girl name)
Emmerson
Alistar
Asher
Evelyn
Owen


For middle names we have several for both, but until we pick a first name I don't want to bother with writing them all out.

I wanna be a...

Olivia has always been sure of what she wants to be when she grows up. For as long as she's been able to communicate she's been saying she wants to be an animal rescuer artist. This job has a very specific job description, not limited, but including: Finding a hurt animal(or someone bringing her a hurt animal), fixing it up and making it feel better, drawing a picture of it, lastly, taking it back to where it belongs. Now, I know that she might change her mind. For now, though, I want to try and find things that she's interested in to study and learn about. She recently had career night at AWANA'S and this is what she looked like. Boy, I love this girl!


On the same night she dressed like this for AWANA'S I asked Emma Claire what she wanted to be. After thinking for a few seconds her eyes got REALLY big..."A...Mc...DONALDS GIRL!!" She shouted out! "I wanna be a McDonalds girl and give people all the food that they order! I love that job!" First of all, how in the world do I dress her like a "McDonalds Girl" and secondly, seriously?! Now, I'm not one to snub my nose at work of any kind. I say, do what you love and do it well. Well, my KK girl LOVES food, so...I guess I should be supportive and just PRAY that she changes her mind and sets her goals a LITTLE higher some day.Maybe a sous chef or something!=) Love that sweet loopy girl too! She's made from a different mold, but that's what makes her so cool!

Say WHAT?!

Today, we were driving by a local University and I saw a group of guys wearing only tiny black shorts. I couldn't help but yelp,"Yikes! Naked BOYS!"
Of course my dear girls all turned their heads to see, Emma Claire said, "WHERE!? OH! I SEE THEM!" Then quickly started to sing the following song:
Naked Boys oh Naked Boys!
How I LOVE those Naked BOYS!
I just LOVE those NAKED BOYS!
Naked Boys oh Naked Boys!!
I've decided I'm never going to drive by there again...I know it's terrible, but I did, indeed, laugh out loud at her obscene song!
