The 50-year old KID

The big guy is 50 today!!!
When you reach 50, there are
no excuses. You are
who you are!!
Boyd is a Big Kid
at heart.

Here is is with McPhie #1 & #2. This is
a man who loves
his grand kids.
He's very proud of them.

This is a picture of
what Boyd
loves most. . . .
hunching over
a plate of food!!!

He's a big tease, Isaac is
his most-often
abused target!

There's nothing
better that smelling
a sweet head.
Soaking in a new
baby's "life force"
ummmmm.

Boyd is always
smiling when we're
on vacation.

Oh, what am I
saying, he's smiling
most of the time!

Here he is holding
dad on his lap, asking
what he wants
for Christmas.
(sshh, the
kids don't know
it's Grumpy under
the beard.)

Grumpy and Hannah in
the "Happiest Place
on Earth."

Boyd noshing on
a dunkin donut,
deciding if he
wants to top off
the dozen!!!

Grumpy and Alex
Christmas 2008

Grumps and the Taylor tots
in his big old
round red chair!

Grumpy trying to be Mimaw,
it's sort of awful!

Happy Birthday to the half of
my life that I can't
imagine being
without.

He is a great husband
father and Grumpy.
He's just a big
'ole ball of fun.
He's the one that
all the grand kids
prefer, and it bugs
the crap out of me.
He makes me laugh, and
he's very generous.
There has never been
a day that he hasn't
told me he loves me
and he thinks I'm
beautiful. (I can
never get a reliable
opinion from him
because he's always
kind with his praise)
He still thanks me
for any meal I prepare.
(that doesn't mean he
always likes it)
He is a great man and
I'm so glad he's mine.

Happy 50th birthday,
ya big old turd.
