P-Dawg





Day 8

Today you'll hear from Piper... P-Dawg, P-Diddy, Pipie, Pipes, P. Your forever buddy. Brandon met Piper right after she turned 3 years old. Piper doesn't remember a time when Brandon wasn't around. Honestly I could go on all day long with the stories these two have and the memories of the three of us.. and now four of us with Kennedy. I still remember the very first time he met Piper, she just turned 3 years old and we took her to the aquarium. I have a picture of him holding her (below), they were buddies from that day on.

 

I love the story of when Piper was around 8 or 9 years old and she got a golf hat from Indian Springs country club. She knew Brandon was a phenomenal golfer and played in differnt tour tournaments. She came home asking for Brandon to sign her that. I asked why. Her repsonse "because he's Brandon Ullrich, famous golfer".. like Duh Lacey. So he did just that, signed her hat. When she went out to the club later wearing her infamous "Brandon Ullrich" hat someone asked her whose signature that was. She told them and when they said they didn't know who that was (they've should've ran away) she let them know exactly who Brandon Ullrich was and how awesome he is. After the conversation was over I am pretty sure that person will never ask who Brandon Ullrich is again. She honestly looked up to Brandon like this. They do things all the time without me, like total brother and sister. They argue like brother and sister too ( : And now that Piper is golfing, B has said multiple times he has a golf buddy finally.

Another funny little story is the time Piper and I were going somewhere with B, when he had a smaller car. B had to get out to get gas. While he was out of the car Piper and I decided it would super funny if we took off our stinky flats and wave our stinky feet in front of his air vents. Our feet stunk.. those flats are not pleasant. When Brandon got back in the car we locked the windows and trapped him in the stinky car. His face was pure horror. Piper and could not stop laughing.

Those things happened quite often. Brandon was a trooper for sure. Piper has went on several vacations with just us, Florida, Austin, Dallas... and we always have the best time together.

We have been to so many sporting events, awards assemblies, school functions, getting ready for dances and banquets.. and I can say without a doubt in my mind that Brandon was more excited than me at times for the next softball game, basketball game, and now golf tournaments. 

I also want to throw in how much Pipie loves Kennedy. Those two are such goofballs. Kennedy is always telling Piper, "you my best friend". And we know that although she is only 2 years old now she will still be saying "Pipie you my best friend" when she's 20 years old. Pipie will be a best friend to her forever.

I thank God for Piper and Brandon and how close they are. Its truly amazing having a husband that loves my little sister they way he does and a little sister that looks up to my husband the way she does.

Love you both!

 

Now for a few words from your big buddy (ken is his little buddy)...

 

The hat.
