So have you seen Mad Men. I just discovered it and I love it- and I like it for more than just the wonderful clothes and hair and the head secrataries amazing body.

Here is me up close- so you can love the eye. Can any one show me how to do this eye makeup?

More Popsicle Pictures






I just can't resist- especially when they are sitting on thier little scooters.

Oh and we got haircuts.






This is Coen's face he makes now when you say cheese. sigh






Happy face








Not so happy face.



And on a totally different not- just took a walk in the cemetary- and lots of great photo ops, but the lighting was awful so maybe tonight on my way home from taking Liz's engagement photos I will have to sto and take a few shots.

I let our 7th anniversary pass without comment. Shame on me. Shame, shame.

On our wedding day I had no idea how much Alma would make me laugh, or shake my head in disbelief. Living with him is always an adventure - you never quite know what is going to come out of his mouth.

I love how sweet and tender he is. He is surprises me all the time with his thoughtfullness. I wouldn't want to be on this journey with any one else. I love the life we are building together. I am proud of the love that we have nurtured and share with one another.

And is there anything more amazing than seeing the man you love with your children. I never imagined how amazing this would be. I just didn't have a clue.

Thank you Alma for 7 great years. Here is to an eternity together.

Because every Darth Vader needs a storm trooper.

Coen is still talking incessently about our trip to Barcelona and "The Tower" (Paris). So much fun. And he also told us tonight that Brian is on a vacation where he dresses up like a missionary, but he is coming home soon because Coen misses him too much.

So tonight I was reading Nie Nie's blog and pointed something out to Alma. And he gave me that look. That look that says he thinks I am a lunatic for crying over people I don't know. And I said "I know, I know you don't want to hear it." And Alma responded, "Honey I can start investing emotionally in them if you want me to stop investing emotionally in you."

Classic Alma.

Well- today was a great lazy day. We went to the fair- ahhh Job's Daughters Corn Dogs. Then a lazy afternoon home. We watched a lot of movies. Now I am trying to clean the house a little so I don't have a heart attack when I get up in the morning. Over all a good day. But no camera for the fair trip- when I realized at the last minute that the batteries weren't charged both Coen and Alma cheered very loudly about the camera free trip. Humph!

Tomorrow is linger longer- and because I am sick and tired of there being no where near enough food I am bringing two entrees- get with it people! There wouldn't be such a swarmy feeding frenzy if everyone knew they would get some food- but as it is every month the poor saps at the back of the line end up with some scattered wilted lettuce, a little brown rice and what ever they can scrape off the edges of the casserole dishes- yes- every month I see some poor sap scraping off the edge of some lasagna pan for what ever crusted cheese and sauce they can add to the three leaves of lettuce on their plate. Sad, sad, sad. I may feel as strongly about this as I do immunizations.
