So who was in those previews? The Sloans, of course! They happened to be the lucky winners of a session from my donation to Nie Nie! THANK YOU for donating-I know it’s a cause very dear to your hearts. We were all about the 80′s + Rock n’ Roll that day, right down to my radical old Sony Boombox (er…”Cassette-Corder”…that doesn’t sound nearly as cool). I “Sloanified” some of these images due to the highly 80′s nature about them. That’s right…I just made up my own word.

Oh, and “In Your Eyes“? That was the song Angie was singing after this shot:




Love how Paisley is “flying” like the planes in the background!


Maddux is a rockstar!


Loving the air guitar!




Yes, these are vintage BluBlockers. Yes, they are awesome.


Paisley had her first taste of sugar that day…and she loved it!



Oh, so who makes a better John Cusack??? My vote goes to Angie, but Matt was a VERY close second! And I was a VERY distant third…that image isn’t gracing the blog!
Matt wins for the most ways to rock a boombox…



BUT…Angie did take this shot that I love!
