what a great weekend!

The highlight of the weekend was obviously Ben and Ashlee's wedding (above is the gorgeous bride and groom). What a great wedding! The ceremony at the Conservatory was beautiful and the reception at Maggiano's was SO much fun! (more on that later!).

The weekend started with me meeting up with my mom and my sister for some quality girl time getting mani's and pedi's. LOVE being pampered!!! That was a lot of fun just sitting and giggling with my girls (and you know those little Vietnamese ladies were talking about us!). After I dropped mom off at Grandpa's, I headed home to get ready for my date with T. We had a nice dinner at Rigazzi's (home of the fishbowl of beer. No, I did not have one). After that we went and played some darts (I suck, but it's the effort that counts, I guess). We had a really good time (as usual). I knew I'd be dragging Saturday though since I didn't get to bed until around 1:30am. All I know is 7:00am came too quickly. After the wedding, some of us went to Winery of the Little Hills for some lunch. Then mom and I headed out to our mecca-Bath and Body Works for their Semi-Annual sale. It was a MUST. OMG, I was sublimely happy being in that store. I am now stocked up on lotion, shower gel and body spray.....at least until the next Semi-Annual sale in December....

Ben and Ashlee's reception was some GOOD TIMES!!!!! The Baumgartner clan was some dancin' fools. I can now officially die happy because I got to see my Grandpa do the chicken dance in the middle of the dance floor. I only regret I didn't have my camera to capture that moment because it was PRICELESS!!! Ben and his groomsmen were gonna have a dance off, not sure if it ever occurred, however, Ben and his friend Jon's performance of *NSync's "Tearin Up My Heart" was quite possibly the greatest thing I have ever seen.....Red and I got the party rollin' with our request for "Pour Some Sugar On Me" (who doesn't like that song?). And who could forget Uncle Jimmy singing "Kiss" by Prince or my personal favorite-when I got all the girls out for some "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk". We were all out there on the dance floor the whole night-SO much fun!!!!!

Tim and Clint tried to get me to go out with them last night, but my old ass is just too, well....old. I'm home now with about seven loads of laundry in my future and all I really wanna do is take a nap. A long one. Can't wait for the next fam event! I always have so much fun with my family! I'll post more pics when I'm less lazy!

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY today to Little Miss Kira, my cousin Clint's little girl. She was an excellent flower girl yesterday! I can't believe she is five already! Where does the time go?

Headline from my home town

"Dent County is site for steer and heifer classic"

In a much better mood today

Thank God I am in a better mood today. I was getting tired of being around my crabby self yesterday. Amazing what a full night's sleep and a Cubs win will do for you. Heidi-I thought of you yesterday. Guess what the cafeteria at work was serving? Yep, that's right....WAFFLE FRIES!!!! It was surely a sign from God. I, of course, could not just walk away from them, that would be crazy talk! When you are back in St. Louis, we might just have to have a Biggie's night-John can handle the baby on his own for a night, right????? :)

Ugh, so last night at the crisis line I had to call the cops THREE times. I was really getting kinda irritated by it-especially since two of the times involved the St. Louis City PD-not the most, um, efficient, police force I've ever dealt with. Luckily, all three calls came near the end of my shift, so once the call was made, I was pretty much done. I have that 911 number down......I am back at the crisis line again tonight, a glutton for punishment, I guess. Hell, it pays the bills.

Tomorrow is mani's and pedi's with my mom and sister (yay!), mom is getting herself some three inch nails complete with crystals and leopard prints. It's gonna be hot! I think T and I are going to the city museum tomorrow night. Always a good time there-how can you go wrong with climbing on things and getting to go down a big slide????

I'm so glad my Mikey is back at work today. I wasn't sure I could go on another day without him. It was pure torture, I tell you!

Why is it that.....

strangers feel the need to talk to you on the elevator? Especially first thing in the morning? Do I look friendly? Do I look like I want to speak to you after I've just rolled out of bed and sat in traffic for nearly an hour? Do I? Yes, in case you couldn't tell, I'm a little cranky today. I don't know why. Blame the Advil PM hangover. Blame the fact that my Mikey and my Amy are not at work today leaving me to just sit in my cube and be anti-social. Blame it on the fact that I stayed up until nearly 11:00pm watching my Cubs play the Brew-Crew in the crazy hope that they were actually gonna come back from a five run deficit. They nearly did it, thanks to some stellar play by Soriano, Floyd and my boy Ramirez, however, they fell short and lost 7-5 (where was D Lee? Apparently he was a big fan of striking out last night, but whatever....). Blame the tides, moon, planets or Paris Hilton. I don't care. I know once my Diet Dr. Pepper kicks in, I will feel much, much better (I have temporarily switched my beverage of choice ever since Heidi sent me that article that said Diet Coke would kill me....thanks Heidi!).

In good new, my cousin Ben's wedding is this weekend, which means lots of fine family fun! I will have you all know that my dress is a SIZE FOUR, thank you very much. I did have to go in search of one very important item of clothing to go with said dress: the suck-in-your-fat-undies. You ladies know what I'm talking about. Brands like Spanxx (endorsed by Oprah and Beyonce, dontcha know) are there to, um, help even out your little problem areas so that you look HOT (ok, that may be a small exaggeration). Well, I can't really afford Spanxx (they are seriously like $80), but I found a suitable alternative at Target. I tried them on (not so much sexy, not that anyone will be looking at them, mind you) with my dress and-voila! Magic happened before my very eyes. My tummy was perfectly flat (the 4x a week jogging habit I've picked up may also have something to do with that), my ass was where it should be (I ain't gettin' any younger-things start sagging when you're my age, it's sad but true). I actually felt pretty good about myself. Now if only I can have a good hair day on Saturday....(always questionable this time of year given the Missouri Humidity). My mom and I are getting mani's and pedi's on Friday (Red, what time do you get off work? Come join us!!!!). I am going out with T Friday night as I haven't seen him since Sunday, both our weeks are rather busy, but I've penciled him in for Friday night! I don't know what we are doing-I am being told it is a surprise. Surprises make me nervous.....

I hear some of my fam is going to Humphrey's tonight to see Ivory Tiger. Don't know if I'm gonna make it-I am working both jobs today-twelve hours of F-U-N. If I'm cranky now and it's only 9:00am, how well do you think I'll be doing come 9:00pm???? Probably not well, would be my guess.

Wow, for being cranky I sure had a lot to say today. Who knew? If I come up with any other enlightening comments today, I will be sure to inform you all. Otherwise, have a great Wednesday and continue to ask yourself-is it Friday yet????

Yeth?

Tho, Mike and I have been thinking ith's funny to talk with a lisp. And whoth idea wath it to put an "s" in the word "lisp" anyway? I mean, theriouthly. Today, we had thoup and thalad for lunth. Thound yummy? It wath. Tho, Mike invited me to Show Tuneth Thuethday, unfortunately, My Cubth are on TV tonight and I will be unable to partake in the thow tune fethtivitieth. Have fun though, Mikey!

Ok, enough lithping. It'th making my head hurt.

So much has happened in the last three days.....

To my faithful readers, I am so sorry there has been no posting since Friday. I spent the majority of my weekend in Salem where the internet runs as slow as molasses, thus, why I am just now posting. Get over it.

Well, Friday's big news was that Jeff and Jessica finally had their baby-little Taylor Ann was born Friday afternoon! Isn't she precious? We are so excited-it's been awhile since we've had a baby in the family. Here is a picture of the proud parents with their new little girl (Baby Jeffy as a daddy-of a little girl-LOVE it!). And here is a picture of Grandpa with his new great-granddaughter (he also has little Miss Kira). I can't wait to meet Taylor. Congratulations Jeff and Jessica. I know she will be a very loved little girl-your families will make sure of that!!!! :)

After a quick stop at my sister's on Friday (and a nice little chat with my brother-in-law and getting attacked by my four legged niece), I headed to Salem. Oh the things I observed on my way down there. First, there was the giant buffalo statue....with wings. Yep, I kid you not. I almost drove off the road because I was looking at it. Then, I saw a truck go by that was in the shape of three Hershey's kisses (what the???). Weird stuff. I finally made it to Salem and just chilled Friday night since we were getting up at the crack of dawn to do a 5K on Saturday (literally, the 5K started at 8:00am). The course for the 5K was actually kinda rough-lots of hills, made me rethink my entire jogging course as I have been jogging on completely flat land....I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to keep up with my parents, but was bound and determined to do so (nevermind Tim's issues he was having). After the 5K, we went to breakfast at the Main Street Cafe (it's on Main Street), where my dad knew every old man that walked through the door (this happened at Wal-Mart as well. Who knew dad was such a social butterfly???). We had a bit of an incident at Wal-Mart in the photo department-mom got her memory card stuck in the machine-the photo developer person had to pry it out with a nail file and some tweezers. It was great.

Sunday, I cruised on back to the STL and T and I went to the zoo. OMG-the zoo is so much fun (guess it's even more fun when you're in good company...). I think I walked another 5K-we were there for like four hours....I have warned him that if he reads this blog, I talk about EVERYTHING that is going on in my life.....it's the risk you take if you are hanging out with me!!! I will try to put some zoo pics up in the next couple of days-I was too tired last night. I was so excited about the baby elephant-too cute. And I only freaked out a couple of times in the snake house (it has a real name, but I refuse to learn it). T likes snakes and other creepy crawly things. I wasn't too much of a girl about it, but really, I don't dig the 20 foot long python, I just don't, I'm sorry. We watched the sea lion show and found a Ben and Jerry's stand where I confessed my love for Cherry Garcia (could there be a more perfect food?). After the zoo, we went to dinner, sat outside and just hung out for hours. When it was all said and done, we were together for ten hours. How is that boy not sick of me???? I don't get it....Anyway, I'm a little sleepy today-not complaining, just stating the facts. It's nothing my Big Gulp of Diet Coke can't fix.

Ok, I guess I should do some actual work now. They kinda like it when I do something productive. Happy Monday y'all.

Happy Full Moon Friday!

It's Friday! It's Friday! Yay! Not sure why I'm excited since Friday's are usually really busy at work, but whatever. It's the full moon and I am thanking my lucky stars that I am not working at the crisis line tonight (sorry Amy)! I am heading down to the big town of Salem tonight. Mom, Tim and I are doing the Relay for Life in the morning-always fun, good times! I'll be coming back to the STL early on Sunday morning because T and I are going to the zoo. How fun is that? I'm excited...

So, no baby yet-what is the deal? I have been anxiously awaiting an email or blog post from Aunt Cheryl telling us that Baby Twyman has arrived......but nothing. Hope all is well Jessica!!!

Red, have you ever noticed that fellow joggers (and dog walkers) all acknowledge each other when you run by? It's like a special club, or something. A sister (or brother) hood. A bonding moment.

I had a great time at dinner with Tina last night. That girl talks more than I do! (and I say this with love!). We chatted up a storm and ate from all the basic food groups-grease, salt and melted cheese. LOVED it! Have you ever had the onion rings at Trailhead? I swear, they are as big as your head. I didn't know onions came that big, but they do. FYI.

I swear, crazy people follow me everywhere

First there was yesterday's incident at the gas station. Then there was last night's incident at Schnucks. I had to go to Schnucks after Job #2 last night because we are having a food day today for my boss Karen's birthday (uh, didn't we just have a food day? I'm sure y'all recall the cheese dip incident from last week...). I was in charge of purchasing the card (A big challenge. There are only so many "from all of us" cards to go around, ya know). So, I went to checkout and went to the 20 Items or Less checkout lane. Now, y'all have seen this lane, does it not clearly state "20 Items or Less"? I was just minding my own business, chatting with the checker (and yes, I did have less than 20 items), when this woman and her kid came up behind me with a FULL CART of groceries. The checker very politely advised her that this was a 20 items or less lane-and the woman went BALLISTIC. I mean, going off on this poor girl, screaming "that's ridiculous, there is no one else in line here, now I'm going to have to wait in line for 10 minutes", she continued to rant and rave, left for a bit to go stand in the "long" line (there were like two whole people in front of her), then came back and demanded to speak to the poor girls manager, saying she wanted to file an official complaint. I just looked at this crazy woman like she had four heads. DUDE-it's a 20 items or less lane!! You had like 100 items. Do the math. I mean, I had just left the crisis line where I dealt with crazy for four hours, I was really hoping I was done for the night. It was not to be.

Today I am really, really sleepy. Could be the rainy, cloudy weather. Could be that I stayed up reading when I should have gone to sleep. Either way, I'm sleepy. It's 8:15am and my Big Gulp is almost gone. Never a good sign.

In good news, I do believe Jessica is being induced today. We will have a new baby in the family soon! I can't wait to meet him/her (I'm thinkin' its a "him"). YAY! Babies are so much fun......when they're someone else's, that is. I'm having dinner with an old friend from high school tonight-that MySpace-always reconnecting people!!! It should be fun.

Happy Thursday!

Alert the St. Louis City PD-my gas pump was....unattended!

Leave it to me to have an eventful morning BEFORE getting to work. Ok, so, there is never a dull moment at the gas station by my apartment. It attracts a lot of crazies (probably because there is a group home down the street). Today was no exception. I stopped by to get some gas (because that's what you do at a gas station) and went inside to get a soda (sleep deprivation-I needed caffeine ASAP, more on that later). First thing that happened-went to pay for my soda and totally dropped it, spilling soda all over the freakin' place (can I not go an entire week without doing something stupid? Apparently not). So, I helped the girl clean that up (it was the least I could do), then this man sticks his head in the door and says "someone is out there stealing gas". The worker was like "where?", the dude pointed to MY car! I looked at him like he had four heads and said "Uh.....it's on my credit card" (I wanted to throw the word "moron" in there for good measure, but I didn't). He went back outside, the worker was like "uh, yea, we get a lot of crazy people in here". I considered showing the man my receipt to prove that I was not stealing gas (although stealing it wasn't such a bad idea since it cost me $35 to fill my tank). What an idiot.

Ok, so KD may just like a boy. SAY IT AIN'T SO! I am cautiously optimistic, given the last dating disaster/relationship I had (the words "trainwreck" and "lying, cheating bastard" come to mind....). I am very guarded, because KD will NOT get hurt again. It's not on the schedule. Anyway, been hanging out with a boy, we'll call him T (to protect the innocent, of course). Date #2 was last night, we had a lot of fun! We went and saw Shrek III (very cute, love that damn donkey!). I like hanging out with T because he makes me laugh-there is never a pause in conversation, we just chat and laugh the entire time we are together. I'm guessing he digs me because he asked me to go out again. Aunt Cheryl, it is ok to congratulate yourself right about now. Good job-your matchmaking attempt may have actually worked!!! We shall see what happens!

For the record, I want it to be known that no matter what happens, MIKE TINNIN will always be my favorite....... :)

CHUCK-O!!!!

Chuck-o is a vicious game, at least it is when my family is playing. It's every man (or woman) for him(her)self. Winner takes all. It could be more vicious than Yahtzee.....Jon, mom and Aunt Cheryl got the game set up for us.Dad's got the moves....he and I beat mom and Aunt Jan. We rock.Even at nine months pregnant, Jessica is still a fierce competitor....Jon and Uncle Ron.....Ron is running a tutorial on how the game is played...me and Aunt Jan...Jeff and Jessica-I can't believe Baby Jeffy is gonna be a daddy this week! I know he and Jessica are gonna be great parents. Baby Twyman will be very loved, that's for sure!Jon and Aunt Diane show us how it's done-or are they just staring at the bean-bag?professional Chuck-0 players, Red and GrantWhat form!!!! Yea....I sucked. Memorial Day weekend wouldn't be complete without some fine family fun. Our outing at Shaw Park was great fun (we missed the Dingiiii though...). When the rains came, we all huddled under the shelter and played games-Yahtzee, cards, stuff like that. We still managed to entertain ourselves. And, never fear, I was always there with the camera..... Here's 3/4 of the Baumgartner clan-Uncle Jimmy, Jackie and Grant (they are both taller than me-it's quite sad, really). Yahtzee, anyone? For the record-I came in last....dead last. Here's me and my sis. Aren't we cute????And everyone's favorite guy..........GRANDPA!!! (when he saw this picture, he said "hey, it looks like I'm a drunk". He's not-for the record.)
Jessica is quite the trooper-nine months pregnant and looking great! Baby Twyman will be induced on Thursday if she hasn't had him/her by then-can't wait for the new addition!!!! Clint-see what Jon was doing to your child!!!! Kira was scoring piggy back rides and mean, mean Jon took that poor angel child out in the rain....ok, ok, she LOVED it, but we wanted to make sure you knew what your child was up to here in the STL!!!Mom and her sisters, Aunt Cheryl and Aunt Jan. Could they look any more alike???? And now, for my favorite pictures of the day......THE PARTY PICS!!! These made us all laugh so hard..... this one of me and my dad is so funny, I almost pee in my pants just looking at it....Red, mom and I-the girls!!!me and my sisme and my cousin Grant. The best was when we were discussing how he made straight A's in school-I asked him if he had to study at all or if it just came naturally. His response???? It comes naturally. That's ok, because Red totally got called out by a five year old-when Red was discussing Shamu being a killer whale, little Julian was like, "no, Shamu is an orca". Touche. I love my family so much, today was great. I didn't get any pics of our stellar whiffle ball playing (I was totally hard core. Jeff's curve ball had nothing on me!!!!), or me and Red attempting to play washers-we sucked, let's just admit it now. We will all be together again in two weeks for Ben and Ashlee's wedding and I can't wait!!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! :)

Good Saturday so far!

Well, the NAMI walk went well this morning, despite the early morning rain. The turnout was awesome, as you can see, even Fredbird was there! I was proud to be a part of it, it is such a great cause. I had lots of fun walking with Hallie-love that girl! I especially loved the part when we saw this really cute guy jogging with no shirt on-no words were necessary, she and I just looked at each other and started giggling like school girls. LOVE IT!
These are members of the Independence Center, a great organization that provides all kinds of services to those with mental illness.
Here's my team getting started! Woo hoo! Thanks to Hallie, we all had pink ribbons in our hair. I think there were about 10 or 12 of us from the crisis line there-not so bad! Could have been better though!!!!!! We really had a lot of fun, and were done by 10:00am. That was my exercise for the day!

Since I know Mike loves it when I talk about baseball, I must tell you that this afternoon, I finally got to sit down and watch an entire Cubs game-don't think I've done that all year (Mike seriously-I thought you'd like a sport where all the boys wear tight pants....). They were on Fox today. I was laughing as Mark Grace was one of the announcers. Man, I spent most of my adolescence lusting after him (why do you think I became a Cubs fan in the first place???). The Cubs played a great game and my boy Big Z kicked some ass!!!! The bullpen gave us a scare, but the Cubs still won (can we trade our bullpen for yours? They suck!!!). My favorite boy Aramis Ramirez hit a homerun today. My hottie Ryan Theriot wasn't playing today-too bad. Me likes him. My boys are still 3 games under .500, good enough for 2nd place in the NL Central though!!! How pathetic is that?????

Tonight we are going to see PowderKeg. I know Aunt Diane and Aunt Jan will be there. Should e tons of fun. In fact, I'd better jump in the shower and make myself presentable!

5K-a-rama!

Well, got a 5K bright and early in the morning-I think we are meeting at 8:30am! I'm ready to go! I have another 5K next weekend down in Salem for Relay for Life, then Race for the Cure is June 16-I LOVE IT!!!!! Thanks to everyone who sponsored me for tomorrow race-you donations are going to a very worthy cause. NAMI is a great organization and near and dear to my heart since I work with the mentally ill. I'll try to do ya proud tomorrow!

Tonight I'm just layin' low and relaxing (and periodically cleaning). Got my People magazine-life is good. Tomorrow after the 5K will be errands and then I am going out to see PowderKeg tomorrow night-can't wait! Hope it doesn't rain!!!! Sunday is the big fam picnic-definitely looking forward to that and can't wait to see my mommy and daddy! :) My sister called me to tonight to advise their wedding pictures are in the current issue of The Ladue New (no joke), apparently I am in one of them. Must check this out. Run out to your local Schnuck's right away and pick up your very own copy! I must say, we all did look pretty damn good at their wedding....

Gotta love three day weekends!

This is the part where I don't miss being full time at the crisis line-actually having holidays off! Love it! The ironic thing is that I am working at my part-time job on Monday-time and a half baby!!!! Besides, what else would I be doing?

Ok, so, I had a date last night. I think it went well. We talked and laughed a lot. Of course, my old insecurities come in to play now-did he really have a good time? Did he mean it when he said he'd like to go out again? Only time will tell, my friends. Only time will tell. Even though I am sleep deprived, I am in a really good mood today.

My fam will be in town this weekend-yay! I must prepare myself for the task of making two dozen deviled eggs-I must love my family because, honestly, they are a pain in the ass to make. I can't wait to see everyone. I am soooooooo ready to kick some ass at chucko! :)

I want everyone to know that I love Mike Tinnin the best (and always will Mikey Poo!)

Is eating cheese dip at 9:30am wrong?

Not if you are on my team at work. Yes, we are eating cheese dip at 9:30am....this is funny-we are having a food day for Ywinta's birthday today except that............she called in sick. Well, good cheese dip can't go to waste, right? So, we are eating in her honor. It's the least we could do. There have been several inappropriate jokes about the sausage in the cheese (we're not very mature) already today. More to come, I'm sure.

By the way, definitely want Jordin to win tonight. The winner is tied to an American Idol contract and will have to put out that stupid, cheezy song as their first single....this would SO bring Blake down. He is way cooler than that song.

The cheese dip is almost gone. It's 9:50am.

She's cute.......isn't she????

BEFORE

AFTER

This is our Stubby girl. I think she is super cute. She just got all her hair shaved off for the summer...my dad calls her Ugly Stubby or Chubby Stubby (I can't argue with the chubby....). I think she is adorable. She's a spoiled little brat and has my parents wrapped around her stubby little paws, but she is still adorable. She does have a bit of an atitude problem, however. See her post on the Family Blog. She's kinda a biatch......

American Idol Finals-are you lovin' it????

Ok, first of all, what in the HELL was Randy wearing????? I mean, seriously. And I was pretty damn disappointed that Paula's nose wasn't wrapped up-that would have been funny as hell. Ok, so for the singing. It's my favorite, Blake, against the one who is probably the best, Jordin.....

ROUND 1:
Blake-First of all, he looked SO cute tonite! Finally got to hear his Bon Jovi performance-LOVED IT!
Jordin-the Christina Aguilera was ok. Round 1 Blake.

ROUND 2:
Blake-the Maroon 5 was ok......
Jordin-her Martina McBride was.....WOW. Round 2 Jordin

ROUND 3:
The song was dumb, let's put that out there first.
Blake-it was too hokey a song for him, but I think Blake did a good job with it.
Jordin-she was spectacular (even if the song was stupid).

Overall, if you base it on singing talent alone, Jordin has it hands down. If you base it on overall performance, sellability and marketability, I go with Blake.

I think Jordin will win. But guess whose CD I'd buy between the two of them???

Uh, and was Chris Daughtry wearing eyeliner? Cuz he looked kinda hot...... ;)

Mike is my favorite

I promise, you are Mikey Poo!

Why am I in such a good mood on a Monday morning? I guess because I have no reason to be in a bad mood. I have a good week coming up....a lot of working, but I have a weekend full of family fun to look forward to and I have a date......yep, KD is BACK IN THE GAME BABY!! Woo hoo! Plus, I'm having a good hair day today. You can't beat that with a stick! I think I am over my martini induced hangover from Saturday night. Let me tell you how much running two miles while dehydrated and hung over sucks!!!!!!!!! But I still did it. I have a 5K on Saturday morning, can't wait!
Well, it's another busy Monday, so I must keep it short so I can do some actual work. By the way....I am still laughing about Saturday.....

More fun from Saturday....

More pix................
Mike with his "wives", me and Tiffany
James, Will and me

I am still laughing....

OMG, yesterday was such a funny day. The events that occurred couldn't have been any funnier...and it wasn't even planned. I laughed the whole way home to myself yesterday thinking of the afternoons events and thinking about it now I am laughing again. I can't get into specifics, but let it be known that I am ok. I am more than ok. I am soooooooo ok. And to the ladies who took part in yesterday afternoons fun, we must do it again. Preferably without the drama, however, it was the drama that was the funny part.....:)

Last night was Mikey's housewarming party....such fun! Mike-the house looks great and Tiffany-so nice to finally meet you!!!! I got to see my 2nd favorite gay, Will (Mike made me promise that he's my 1st favorite). I can't wait to tell David that his lolita (martini) recipe was a HUGE HIT! My Kansas City gays came through for us-thanks a lot!!!!! Here are some pics from last night, and yes, Michael is in most of them........From top to bottom: Pic #1 is Mike showin' some cleavage....don't ask. Pic #2 is me and my sweetie Will. Pic #3 is me and Michelle (Harry Caray's daughter!). I love her! Pic #4 is Mike and Will. Pic #5 is Mike-not sure why he has that blanket on his head...must be the lolita's! Pics #6 and 7 are of Mike-he's kissing his new ch..ch...ch...chia pet...pic#8 is me, Will and Trevor. Pic #9 is me, Michelle and Will. And last but not least, pic #10 is Michael...not sure what in the hell he is doing.....
