Jonathan's Birthday Party

David sitting in Ben's room saying "What IS that smell?"
Blue cupcakes for Jonathan. He might be 19 but he never will be too old for good cake.

Wait! How old did I say he was?


Hard to look too cool when you have blue lips.
He huffs and puffs and wishes.
Son, enjoy the light from 19 candles...Later when you turn 50 the fire dept. is called.
I don't know what is scarier: The Shirt? The Pose? or The look on Jo's face.

SHOPPING AT OLD TIME POTTERY.

(Joann) I'm gonna sit up front and sip cola while they shop. I wonder if blind people can take pictures (click)
Ben was my chaffuer. (Ben) Mom let's "drift" through the shop ...it'll be our movie called "Gone Shopping in 60 seconds".

(Jonathan) I have a pretty mouth.


(Jonathan) Watch Santa on the seesaw...Ruddolf's head got smashed.



(Ben) Over to the right a little ...now up up ...yeah like that
