A Beetle, A Bug, and A Pug?????

Well I have several friends who have started blogs and I thought I would give it a try. I have family spread o ut all over the U.S. and I've tried different ways to stay in touch with everyone but never found a way that I felt really worked, so I'll give this a try!!!

As for the title of the blog, it's the nicknames of my three loves; my kids (For anyone that doesn't already no I consider my dog to be my oldest child, and the one who often gives me the most trouble!!!) I've decided to name the blog after them since they are the biggest part of my life, and are often the source of my funny stories and greatest joys. I hope all of the family enjoys reading my updates of the kids and how they are growing <3

Beetle: When Zane was about 2 my dad started calling him "Zeetle"...don't know why he just did, this then turned into "Zeetle Beetle" along with many other nicknames he has was well :)

Bug: When I was pregnant with Laney, we knew that we were having a girl and had already decided to name her Laney. One day while pregnant I started thinking about what nicknames we would call her once she arrived and thought "Laney-bug" since it sounded like ladybug so it stuck and it has now been shortened to "bug", "bugs", "buggy" and most recently "buggalooney" :)

Pug: Well, the dog is a pug, actually named Manny Pug Munger (yes he is registered with the AKC with that name......yep, I'm THAT lady!!!) He was my first baby born in May 2005 and I brought him home on July 31, 2005 and chose the name Manny. He also earned other nicknames such as; "Pug", "Puggy" "Puggers", "Manners", "Mannerton", "Manfred" along with some other choice names when he is in BIG TROUBLE!!!

So that's the basis for the blog, I will stop now as I am rambling!!!
