ALABASTER BLASTER: February 2010

father daughter/ mother son

tonight was the father daughter ball. aaron took harley and dropped the boys and i off at the bowling alley where i met up with my friend amy and her son. they wouldnt let us bowl (league stuff gowing on) so the boys played video games.
then we went to hubbys pizza and the boys played at the little play area there and we met up with another friend.
then we loaded up and went to amys, had ice cream and played wii until the ball was over and aaron came to pick us up.
harley was of course adorable, sadly i got zero pics of her. my sis did, so ill post them when i get them.
axle was so into the game (above) he was shouting "yeah, thats right!" "woooo!" "i got ya!" "yes, another booster!". he got 1st place on the game, like 3 times in a row. he and his dad are video game masters.

letters

i walked out into the living and see harley posing like this...."harley, what are you doing?" "um......im the letter A" "oh, well can i take a picture of the letter A?" "sure, thats sounds great!"

here are the events that follow after i whip out the camera:

"im a A"

"im a S"

"im a V"

"hey check out the bowling scores i made"

flashback first family photo

yes harley is naked on the bottom half. i dont know why i didnt just run upstairs and get her pants, instead of trying so hard to cover her up with my hand?

the rejects:

axle wont come out from behind dad

now hes pouting and the other two are bored

trying to get him to smile while harley tries to get up

my neighbors. every moning a woman would yell "how are you" and would repeat it until id say the exact phrase "im fine. how are you" nothing else would do. her "house" was that little roof thing in the center.
