I can’t see the picture…so I don’t know what you are talking about because I don’t…. Did you change your mind and in fact are not going to pirates of panzance(sp?)…hehe… You will cause tears and mourning from Buyo and Nessa if you are not careful… And what about the cheese?
Since I do not have Ashley’s email address, I will have to attempt to communicate with her via your blog – here goes:
Ashley,
Hello, how are you? This is your hubby’s cousin, Jennette. Your daughter is an absolute doll – so much so as to be deemed “cutorable”, a word coined by my sister and reserved only for those persons of the utmost cuteness and adorableness. But this is in fact not why I am attempting to communicate with you (although it DID need to be said). Recently I was in Orem, Utah, visiting the fam, when my dear aunt mentioned that you were quite distraught over the name of my daughter, Harper. Not becuase you don’t like the name, but because you DO like the name, and wanted to use it for your own daughter. Although Karen tried to reassure you that you could still use it, you were apprehensive (so I hear). Well here’s what I say – name your next daughter Harper!! It will be great fun. We’ll get their pictures taken together and the caption will read “The Cutorable Cousins Harper”. Then, so Paisley doens’t feel left out, I will name my next daughter Paisley. And I don’t know how many kids you are planning on having, but let’s discuss boy names also, so all our kids will have the same names!
Ok, I realize you don’t know me very well (or at all), so you MIGHT be freaking out right now….and although it would have been funny to just leave it at that, it would also be mean, so don’t worry, I am kidding. But I am not kidding about naming your daughter Harper – I know some people are quite territorial about their children’s names, but Harper is named after an amazing woman, so I completely understand why other people would want to name their daughters after her also! Besides, “These are my daughters, Paisely and Harper” sounds so cute!
To Jennette’s husband, Tom:
I believe Kate has a link to my blog, where I have a link to my email, but this works too. Yes, I LOVE the name Harper and thank you for your permission to use it. Unfortunately, I don’t know that we’ll have enough children to warrant using it. We have the next name picked out, regardless of gender, but we may have to just have more kids so we can name one Harper. Thanks for the flattery of Paisley, I too think she’s an absolute doll, but I am a little biased. I’ve seen pics of your Harper through Jennette’s site, and she’s pretty dang cute herself. (zzxzc-Paisley’s contribution) So, yes. Let’s both name our children Paisley and Harper. That won’t be confusing for Greatgrandma Evelyn AT ALL!
I believe you may have confused the sentence, “This is your hubby’s cousin, Jennette.” Perhaps you read it somehow as, “This is the hubby OF your cousin Jennette…” But whatever amuses me is a good thing, so it doesn’t matter.
Let me get down to the meat of the matter. YOU HAVE THE NEXT NAME PICKED OUT??? I do not remember being consulted in this matter. And what’s more, I have OBVIOUSLY not been chosen to “be in the KNOW.” Here it is all over again, not one of the cool kids…
You’d better be telling me POSTE HASTE. Or else.
Much Love,
Kate
P.S. I’d considered addressing this to “Ashley’s Husband, Who Happens to be my Brother, Charles,” and then Charles and Tom could just pass messages back and forth. Because that would be funny.
So I keep saying that ever since I’ve stopped going to school (and having a kid hasn’t helped) I’ve become REALLY STUPID. I apologize for thinking that was TOm instead of Jennette. My bad. And here I was thinking that Tom must be really cool to have the gumption to write something like that. But now I know that it was actually Jennette. I will now go BACK to her site and comment. Blah blah blah I’m a huge dork.
It’s Everett. I KNOW I’ve told you.
Then again, as you claim to have become “really stupid” (I’d argue about that but I’d derail my train of thought and then it’s just all blown to hell), I cannot even remember my own name half the time and forget VERY common phrases in a festively Alzheimer’s-like manner… So I suppose that there’s an infintisimal chance I MAY be mistaken.

Oh – I really like it. Remind me of that if I forget it (or forget it AGAIN – who can say).
