I thought I should explain alittle bit about Samantha's blog title. Sammy Soup! It is not a nickname that is used in our home a ton, but in our extended families you can hear her being called "Sammy Soup" or now even "Soup". I don't think Thayne has ever called her that, but I have called her it just for fun.
How she got it.
The short version is.... my sister Rachel started calling Samantha "Sammy Sue" when she was a baby. NOPE, her middle name isn't even Sue or Suzanne or anything of the such. Her middle name is Nicole. Now Rachel's middle name is Suzanne so I am thinking Rachel was crushed that Samantha wasn't named after her so she had to start something, I don't know for sure but it is just a hunch. Ok, back to the reason.
Rachel was calling her "Sammy Sue" and her kids must be deaf or something because all they heard was "Sammy Soup" and the rest is history. Soup it was and soup it is.
Rachel even wrote a book about nicknames with Sam's story of her nickname. It was a great kids book and could be published if we could ever find the copy of it. We lost it. I can tell you what color paper it is printed on but I have no idea where it has been stored. So maybe if we ever find it you may one day see a book in the store called ..
"Sammy Soup".
My family is crazy, we know it and we really don't care because we have fun. I enjoy life and I love to laugh. I also cry, kick and scream when I have to but it's not pretty.

Love it! My nick name story is very similar except the nickname itself is different:)
Oh, we need to find that copy it would make such a cute children's book. Even Rachel's Hannah Camille book was also a cute story.
love nicknames! we have some strange ones floating around here, too!
Hi Heather!
I found your blog through Rachel's blog. You're growing children make me feel old. Email me because I have some pictures I want to send you of your young women's posterity.

Sammy Soup that's my name,
I only have my aunt to blame. Samantha Nicole was my name at birth,
you know that day I came to earth...
I can only remember a few other snippets. Sad, it was a gem!
rewrite it please!! I think we all would buy a copy
I hated having a nick name, now I think about how much wasted time I spent being mad about it. Hers is really cute though.
