Tun Tun Ta Ran <- That's The Wedding March, Get it?

You all know I'll peek in your medicine cabinet if you have me over for dinner.  The next thing I'd likely do is look at the picture frames on your walls,

"Oh, was this taken on your trip to Vancouver?  Beautiful!  I love pictures of newborns, people say they all look the same-WOW!  What a beautiful wedding photo, LET ME SEE THE WEDDING ALBUM!!!"

I think a wedding speaks volumes about a couple.  I remember when an old co-worker of mine returned from her honeymoon eager to share the pictures of her wedding.  She grinned from ear to ear, while we gasped at the sight of her and her groom in matching baseball jerseys ON THEIR WEDDING DAY!  They wore Levi's and jerseys with their last name on the back. 

She schlepped a 10 pound book bag filled with wedding magazines everywhere she went for a whole year!  She poured over every page endlessly, like she was planning the royal wedding of the century.    BASEBALL JERSEYS!?!   A ponytail through a ball cap with a veil attached!?!  It was difficult not to laugh at the time, but looking back their wedding was a reflection of them.  Marteen was a tomboy that worked in our stockroom and her groom Paul was a Jr. high school coach, their wedding was perfect... for them.  

Paul and Marteen, I hope you are still happily married, raising 3 healthy boys in little league heaven (Orange County).

On to the meme.  Since I'm inviting you to my wedding I think it's only fair that you invite me to yours.  I'll b.y.o.b and show up after dinner so you won't even have to ask me the dreaded Steak or Salmon question.  What's that?  Dance topless on the gift table with the best man?  Done, I'll do whatever you ask... and I'll even bring a gift.  $3o Sephora gift card to one lucky participant.

Meme Rules

• Show me your wedding pictures.  Extravagant destination wedding, Vegas drive thru, whatever you've got.  Write about the whole day, or maybe just the dress it's your call.
• Not married yet?  Show me your dream wedding, location, dress, the groom whatever comes to mind.
• Link up here.  My post will be up on Tuesday, complete with Mr. Linky.  If you can get your post together by then that would be awesome, but I'm giving this meme 2 weeks so you'll have plenty of time to work on it.
• Invite your readers to invite us to their wedding.  I'll pick a winner on the 21st of April so make sure you get the word out quickly if you want them to qualify for the prize.

I hope you will play along, because I can't articulate how exited I am to attend a wedding sans the Spanx.  

Enjoy your weekend.

Extreme To The Max!

Diego discovered the skateboard recently, and while he still rides it on his knees I can't help but imagine him as one of those X-Game extreme sport punks that can't possibly love their mothers.

 I can safely say that he seems to be over the board now, but he and his brothers are still very in to an equally dangerous activity that is starting to make me a little nervous.

Knock Knock! Who's There? Illiteracy

I don't know what the Dr.s and scientists say, but I don't remember anything that happened before I was 5.... which means I have 5 more months to freely spew obscenities like this one,

What?!?  They ripped the jacket and scribbled on the forward, what was I supposed to say?!?

What's the craziest thing that's come out of your mouth in the heat of the moment?

What's The Deal With That? Wednesday

What's the deal with Diego's preschool picture?

This picture was taken in October so you'd think I'd be over it by now... but how?  How do I get over this? ⬇

My first born son, his first year of school, my his first picture day, are you with me here?  I'm talking big money folks.  New clothes, new shoes, fresh new haircut, pricey soy hair products, AND I GET THIS GOOFY SHIT!?!  

Don't get it twisted, the boy, gorgeous.  The back drop and prop, GOOFY ASS SHIT!   I mean where would you even go to get a pencil that size?  I've obsessed about that endlessly, and BigAssPencilGate can only be blamed on one person - Carrot Top!  Carrot Top was the creepy child photographer.  UGH!

 I guess I'm especially disappointed because I had a really clear vision of what this project was supposed to look like...

Carrot Top you're lucky I'm a photoshop wizard!

And Supermommy is super lucky to have a friend like Jen who was kind enough to design this swanky button for me.  Thanks Jen!

What's The Deal With That? Wednesday

What's the deal with the Windshield Tombstone? 

Is this really how we want to remember our loved ones?  With a dusty mosquito splattered rear windshield decal?  Did these people buy that Dodge Durango with their Robert James Smith inheritance money, because then it kind of makes sense, but in a real cheapskate Robert bought me a car and all he got was this stupid sticker sort of way. 

Maybe these people are seeking pity from law enforcement?  Like a cop is going to say,

"Oh no speeding ticket for them, they're mourning the loss of Robert James... WAIT A MINUTE! He died 5 years ago, and he lived to be 81! Cue the siren!"

Why not pour a 40 on Robert's grave site when his birthday comes around?  That's how Supermommy rolls.  Windshield tombstones are 10 kinds of lame, let's agree to keep the in loving memories on bicep tattoos, and save the rear windshield shout outs for the living.

Holla!

I'm going to give it to you straight my friends, the Blogosphere is in desperate need of another weekly carnival, specifically on Wednesdays! ( Wait! What? Did you just roll your eyes at Supermommy?) 

Listen, I love a Wordless/Wordfull Wednesday as much as any dedicated blog commenter.  It's so easy to type Your kids are cute!, Your kids are stinkin' cute!, Have I ever told you how cute I think your kids are? but to be honest, it can get a little repetitive. 

I certainly don't expect to peel you away from your weekly habits every Wednesday, but if you ever come across something that makes you think WTF?!? I hope you'll forgo the usual and share your observation on...

(Feel free to copy the tag, I'll get proper codes for it soon)

Supemommy Gets Super Sappy

  

I spent my day at my favorite place,

with one of my favorite guys.

 

I was thrilled to introduce him to my old friend.

 

I was comforted by the fact that not much has changed since I was his age.

I've dreamt of reliving this through his eyes before I even understood where he'd come from.

I could not have asked for a more beautiful day.

 

I could not have asked for more beautiful eyes.

 

although a better photographer might have been nice...

For those of you that are keeping score, it was my 33rd and it was fantastic.  Thank you all for your e-mails, tweets, gifts, messages, and kind thoughts they truly were the icing on the cake.
