PIGGY TAILS AND A DOUBLE THUMBS UP FOR "OLD PAPPY"

Dee Dee (Dylann) is known for her beautiful red hair and the curls she has.

  Her hair always looks so nice, but it does become a little wild if she's busy playing.  Yesterday I fixed her hair after she was done dressing for the day. I asked her if she wanted a ponytail, french braids, or piggy tails.  She decided on piggy tails and they looked adorable.  As the day went on we had to do the tails three different times as she wanted them to stay pretty.  She did change to different ponytail holders and added a barrette with a ribbon throughout the day.  We did them the last time, just as Daddy came up the driveway, because she wanted him to see them looking nice.  Thank goodness he stopped in the shop and talked to Mommy before coming in so were to able to get them done.

 And a double thumbs up for "Old Pappy"

When Tayler was our only grandchild we would take her to the bowling alley to see her "Old Pappy" bowl.  Anytime he had a strike or spare they would give each other a double thumbs up.  This Pappy has been trying to teach Marshall to do the double thumbs up.  He does it, but doesn't leave them up long enough to get a picture taken.  It will be interesting to see if Ashlynn, Aunt Detsie's new granddaughter, will call her great grandfather "Old Pappy" too.  All of our grandchildren do and he loves it.  When Tayler was  younger we were visiting  her great grandparents  and as we prepared to leave  Tayler made the comment that he was an "Old Pappy" and Ron was a "Pappy".   It has stuck, but has never meant any disrespect.

Just not my final shot of the day.  I have pictures of Marshall taken yesterday  and  some of

Sydney and Tayler  taken  last evening at Tayler's final soccer game of the year. Sydney's game this evening was cancelled due to the rain.  Who knows if it will be made up or not.  I  am almost sorry  to see the girl's seasons end, but it's starting to get to dark to play in the evenings.
