Baby Nixon


We had our third little boy a month ago today! He is so peaceful and such a great baby- so far at least. To keep with tradition we named him after another skate company.

A little Herlean History Lesson: Nate & I liked the name Krew when we first got married. We had not decided on the spelling (Crew, Cru, Krew, Kru). It ended up being spelt "Krew", which a couple of months later, my brother informed us that Kr3w was a skate company. So we went shopping and bought all the Kr3w apparel we could find. It was awesome. Nate could wear his baby's name. When we found out we were having boy #2 we went skate name shopping once again at Pharmacy (our fave skate shop) and came up with the name Matix for boy #2. We were hoping for a girl with our third try and got another boy! Skate shopping it was. This one was harder. Spitfire and Volcom weren't our first choices in the list of names from our traditional source. After months of thinking and debating we decided on Nixon- the day after he was born. We had to keep the theme running- even if all the companies go out of buisness before the boys are even old enough to skate. We are currently teaching Krew how to skate. He's got to live up to his name! And Nate can wear any one of his boys names on a shirt or watch now. What love.
