Happy Birthday To TheBrawnyMan! Two In A Row!

My son-in-law,

TheBrawnyMan

was born twelve years

before my daughter..

Well- 12 years minus one day!

Yesterday we celebrated

TPot's birthday

and today we celebrate his.

We just call them

THE TWINS!

I have very few early

pictures of him..

Can you tell he was kinda naughty?

Yeah...you know...the kind

the kind of kid

that rides his bike across

the school playground after

being told NOT to...

yeah...that kind of naughty.Here he is at the beach..

It's a modest family...

They only show legs.

The neighbors knew them

as the family with the kids

that had "all the arms and legs"

Like...Most people DON'T

have arms and legs?

Hmmm...I think it was just that
they are all tall.

Here's our boy!

I think he is saluting his father..

His Dad would like that..

He was always a Mama's Boy

although he claims he's not.

Notice he is right behind his Mom?

Yeah...he was a Mama's Boy..

ooooh...LOVE those glasses..

pssstt..what was in your Mom's glass

cuz she looks pretty cheerful

for having 4 half-grown kids underfoot.

Your brother, on the other hand,

looks like he does NOT want to share

his popcorn.

Plus-he's mad cuz you are Mom's favorite.

Ooooh- You're growing up...and

looking pretty dude-ish with your

turtleneck..

Love the hair, too....looks kinda like

one of the

Backstreet Boys..

(whoever they were)

And here you are again...

A birthday celebration...

You had no idea

what your future held for you..

You were blissfully unaware

that soon, all too soon,

you would be paying for

LOTS of birthday cakes.

One of MY favorite things about

you is that no matter what I serve you

you always say it is

"The best I ever had"...

Yeah...Moms like cooking

for guys like you..

pssst...don't tell YOUR Mom

that you like my cooking

better than hers..hahaha..

just kidding, Marilyn...

Yeah..cuz then YOU

won't be HER favorite

anymore!

One day, by chance, you met

your future...

Her last day on the job..

and you walked in..

just before closing..

who knew?

Who knew that this beautiful girl would be

your bride?

Yeah..you did pretty good, huh?

You  do have some rather

unusual friends...

And Lulu was your first little girl..

all snuggled up next to Daddy.
Then came Ria...

Your life was not all sweetness and light

because you lost precious little

AnnaBella 18 months after that.

But you stood strong and weathered that storm.

And, about 18 months after

that along came

SweetCheeks..

Another little Princess!

I wish the family would at

PRETEND they

are having fun and that

someone loves you~

Happy Birthday..

Did you tell me that some girl called you a

DreamBoat?

yeah...well...what I think she meant

was that you were driving

HER

Dream Boat!

Happy Birthday Big Al!!!

We're glad you're part of

our family!

Yeah...you are stuck with us now.

But we are so excited that you

are part of our lives.

We are SO excited

we bought you a

whole

CARLOAD of presents.

They're on the way to your house

right now!;>)

And if THAT doesn't arrive

well...

Your check is in the mail~
