Dear Daegan,

I rarely dedicate my posts to just one person other than myself, but for you... today I make an exception. I'm sure you looked at me with envy the day I posted this little beauty of my family and future family.


With me as a queen and 8 kids (one with the name of Pubert) who wouldn't be jealous? Since you are a close friend and Nate's bush whacking companion I didn't want to leave you out. Yes, Christmas for you dear Daegan comes a couple weeks early this year.

What man wants to be seen driving the family van around with those stickers plastered to the back? I know you Daegan. You need MAN stickers. You need stickers that shout testosterone. Stickers that ooze manliness. Stickers that say, "I can survive in the wilderness for 47 days & nights with just a small paper clip, ball of yarn, and a can of Dr. Pepper".

Well, Daegan, I've got the perfect stickers for you and I took the liberty of naming your 4th & 5th child. (Hope you don't mind)

Sticker A:


And just in case Amy doesn't want to name child 4 and 5 Smith & Wesson I've designed another manly sticker choice.

Sticker B:


Yes, Daegan. Those are the one and only Surefire photoshop brushes, custom designed by yours truly. You will be the envy of Flashaholics everywhere.

Merry Christmas!
(I expect to get at least a little something from you this year. Diamonds would be fine).

Sincerely,
Ginnie

LOL.
James says that your gun one is brilliant, and that you could "sell the crap out of that"

Ashley said...

Peeing my pants!!! And I agree...you could make a pretty penny at Cabelas. Sell your idea or copyright it before someone rips it off! I'm serious!

Ginnie said...

The gun one I didn't design, I just modified it. The flashlight one is, however, one of a kind.

Jenny said...

I love the names smith and wesson!! Your so funny!!

Love, love it! He hasn't seen it yet but I'm sure he is going to really appreciate your thoughtful gift. He went to get our Christmas tree the other night and I said "How are you going to find a tree in the dark?" He looked at me and said "Are you seriously worried about me finding something in the dark."

Your posts always make me smile. I love it!

I guess the clock is now ticking on my fifteen minutes of fame. Today I'm the subject of Ginnie's blog, tomorrow I'll be hanging out with Gordon Christensen and Bono and in a week I'll be all alone somewhere with just a Dr. Pepper, a ball of yarn and a paperclip.

If I had been thinking Mason and Eli should have been Smith and Wesson. I'm being serious. As a heart attack. How would I ever be mad at them with such names?

I want a flashlight sticker. How do you get stickers like that made?

Ginnie said...

Where to get flashlight stickers made? Hmmmm, I'm not sure, but for you Daegan I'm willing to find out only if you agree to putting on the "let your light so shine" sticker as well.

Daegan said...

Let's see, M6, M3, U2, I'm gonna say L4, E1L and a shrunken E1L and then another shrunken U2.

If you add an L1 for "Eli" and a Titan for "Fire" it would be perfect.

You know me Ginnie. I'm not afraid of letting my lights shine.

THe gun sticker is great too. I'll have to put one on the car and the other on the van.

Ginnie said...

Ding, ding, ding... we have a winner. The question is (and I probably don't even need to ask) could you tell they were Surefire's before you read it? Are you a true flashaholic?

Daegan said...

There's nothing like a Surefire. There's a lot of copies but only one Surefire.

The Perry family said...

You guys kill me!

The Blandon's said...

Haha.

Em said...

Is it just me, or did I spot Kaleb on A Little Sussy from the "wasted" shoot?
Because if so, that's so cool! And if not, Kaleb has an identical twin, which is also cool!

Love the comments. But on the other hand also not so funny, I have had many restless nights trying to come up with a name that works with "Gunn". Here are a few more for you Daegan, because I know Amy is going for the big 10. Trappe, Rifle, Tommy, Trig, Ruger, Hawkins, (just to name a few) we've gone through them all. Let us know if you need any other ideas. WHich by the way I loved them all, but there were those who said we couldn't do it.
