HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEBE SUMMER!!

Can you believe it? I can't!! First, I'm actually on here blogging again after being MIA for what 4 months or so!! Wow!!! I also can't believe that I had a Bebe Girl today...what a shocker that was. We really did think this 3rd Bebe was gonna be another boy and were all set on it. I even hung a hockey jersey above the Bebe's crib (and its still there too).

Aunt Kitty-Kat...we love this hat!! I'm so glad I bought it and got to use it today! I'm keeping it forever and ever! I really enjoy your stuff on Esty and I'm happy for you.

Aunt Lisa - You really need to get on Facebook and if you are, we need to friend one another.

Aunt Robin - I told you you were gonna have a boy. Perhaps that jersey needs to go your way for above the crib. That are a Wildcats jersey!!!

Aunt April - I wish you lived near me so you could take photos of our family. Can you believe that I have not once taken the kids to get a pro shot together...NOT ONCE!!!!!! Shame on me!!!

Enjoy the photos and there are way more on Facebook! Miss you gals and I love you all too!!!!!!!!!!!! See the cooler in the background, blocking the doors. That is my child-proof lock...LOL!!!!! Works for now :)
Kissing Bebe Summer!

Giggling Girls!

Mother & Daughter

(Wow, thats weird to type)

Summer-Lovin got this puzzle, a book, a cash register and little Yo Gabba Gabba play figures. That is her favorite show and she really loved the figures!

To me raising boys is such an important job. Raising a daughter is beautiful. I'm so thankful that I now can experience both. I just love having boys and a girl in the house!!!

Busy, Busy!

Boy have I been neglectful. So sorry! When the warm weather hits, I am out the door and very little time on the computer accept to do the Facebook status real quick and acknowledge everyone else's status.

I mentioned boy in the 1st sentence and Joey is thinking that Robin is gonna have a boy. I told her on Facebook that it is time for her to jump on the boy-wagon!

Alex did great on his report card. All A's and I believe two or three of the classes are honor classes or something like that. Erich has improved in his classes. His speech still needs a lot of work and I think I'm gonna have to send him to a specialist over the summer. Summer is a button! She still low crawls but is also working on the regular crawling - she looks like a robot when she does it. She still has no teeth. She is finally starting to pull herself up on stuff.

Below is a photo of Erich and his buddy Ty on the backyard water slide. May I suggest that if you don't have one, get one. Yes, they are a lot of money to fork over at 1st, but the years of fun all summer long will totally pay off in the end. You don't want or even need to get a fancy one. I'm telling you, this one is perfect!
I went on a field trip with Alex to Washington, DC. I was glad he wanted me to go. My group was pretty bad, but in a very funny way. I've known most of these kids since we moved and Alex started playing football when they were 7 years old!It started right away with their antics. I'm going up an escalator and all of the sudden I hear, "Hi Mrs. Newman, Hi Mom" and look over and my group was going down to the next floor while I was heading up. They kept putting 3D glasses on the displays, they where hiding in displays and when I would walk by they would go, Boo! It was pretty funny. The Smithsonian American History Museum was recently renovated inside and its nice to finally have the change. Alex told me when we were driving home that when they do the group assignments, the teachers just put a list with the parents name on it and the kids sign up for the group/parent they want to be with. Alex said my name filled up before the end of 1st period. I was so flattered!!

So below is a picture of my group from the field trip! Those bozos were all of over the place and were a lot of fun!! But in the end, some kids that were not assigned to my group ended up with me. Oh and I also met Alex Geometry teacher and he is a cutie-pie!!

Below is Summer playing with a bucket from Easter. She likes to hid under things.

That's really about it on my end! Now, I've gotta check up on my girls blogs to what I have been missing!!!

You All Know What I've been Up To!

Since we are all on Facebook together you kinda know whats been going on. Our Easter Break is really short here. Holy Thursday thru Easter Monday. Thursday we went to the zoo with our neighbor and friend plus my best friends son Jason. It was a great day! The weather was picture perfect but traffic of course was terrible. It was smooth sailing around the DC Beltway but once I exited on Connecticut Ave the traffic moved really slow. It took forever to find a parking spot because by 11am all the lots were full. One guy at one of the lots said we could go in but said no one is going anywhere - so good luck. Oh the lots are outdoors. So I pulled in and said, I can squeeze in between that car and tree up on the curb. And Alex said she sure can and I did. Is that my gift - knowing how to park on curbs?

This photo below is of Alex and the orangutans climbing the wires above.

This one below is of Erich, Jason and Ty with one of the lazy Panda Bears!
This one below is of Summer sitting in one of my built in car seats watching the gang on the ground outside the car having a picnic lunch. Don't worry, she doesn't sit in that one while driving.

Easter Morning! The bear in the basket is Terry. Erich got to bring him home from school for Easter. Every child gets him for one weekend. Terry was being silly and he went to the zoo with us!

That's All Folks!

Low Crawl

So Summer is crawling, only low crawling. Its pretty funny. I also realized when Summer and I went up the street for a playdate that Summer really has no toys. She has these little rattles, but mostly its action figures, like Scooby-Doo and Star Wars and Batman, etc. Hope the Easter Bunny takes care of her for Easter.

Finally!

So happy that Robin posted her news about being pregnant!!! She really needs to push a boy out, don't you think?

I'm excited about Saturday night. Alex and I are going to Pickle's Pub across the street from where the O's play. The bar is pretty famous for us local B'more people. Anyways, my brother-in-laws band is playing there. So I called yesterday to find out if I could bring Alex even though he is so young. The manager said no problem, just be responsible and thanks for calling ahead of time to let him know. Alex is pumped that he gets to go to such a famous place and to a bar to see this. Alex also has four LAX games this weekend as well. Another flippen tournament. UGH!!!!! Nothing much else going on so I'm gonna go!

Have a wonderful weekend girls!

Pee Pee In The Potty

No, Summer is not potty-trained yet. What do you think I beat her already? But I saw this commerical and just about died of laughter! I wish I had this song back when Alex was being potty-trained cause all I sang was, Pee-pee on the potty (repeat).

Nothing else really going on! I'm PMSing and I hate myself during that time. I find the stupidest things to pick on Mike about. I have a doctors appointment in 2 months so I think I'm gonna talk to the doctor about it cause I feel so bad for Mike. I'm truely lucky I have him.

Summer is starting to do the low crawl. You know, like she is under barbed wire and crawling through it. Its pretty funny!

So thats it! BORRRRRRING!!!!!

F.B.A.A. - aka - FaceBook Addicts Anonymous

My Name Is Joey and I'm addicted To Facebook and Facebook Word Challenge! I have been an addict for about two months now and I can't seem to stop. I enjoy the thrill of finding really old friends that I haven't seen since Elementary School and playing the Word game to try and beat my really smart friend Debi! I don't think I can focus on anything else and sometimes my knees start to cramp from being bent up on the coach. I just gotta beat her and I know I won't cause she is a word finder queen!!! Damn!!!

Oh and Everyone is doing great! I got a Wii Fit for my Birthday and lovely flowers from Mike and some delivered from my gal Debi!!! Summer is twirling around on her belly now. And I went out and did something that is new to me...bought hairclips for my little daughter!

Alex has three Lacrosee games this Saturday! Back To Back To Back! Ugh and its only suppose to go to 48! Boooooo!

I have been working on our laundry room/storage room. I had this little narrow path to get from the door to the washer and dry. So much shit!!! Purging is a wonderful thing to do when the boys are not here!!!! I should be finishing up by the end of next week. Yes, it is that big of a task and will take me til the end of next week.

Newman has now left the building!

Do You See Them?

Before I ask if you see them, I just wanted to say Thank You to All Of You for wishing me a Happy Birthday.

So Alex had LAX practice last night and they practice up at that high school cause they have artificial turf (yeah). Well, someone forgot to reset the timers cause their practice was from 6.30-8.30pm and it got dark and the field lights didn't come on until 8pm. Those kids practiced in the dark, mostly sprinting. I was walking the track and snapped a quick photo, by you guessed it, my cell phone. So of course it sucks.

So can you see them? They are there. If you enlarge the photo you may see some helmets under the lights from the high school.

I know, boring blog but thats all I have! I just gotta catch up to Kat and get up to what 3,000 posts. Just kidding!

What's Going On

Hello Ladies! Not much going on except...I'm having a blast reconnecting with old friends on Facebook and chatting with the new ones I have met on CafeMom and of course you gals! I rented the movie "Fireproof" and loved it! Lent started and I gave up chocolate, chips and drink nothing but water but still have coffee. Although I have not investigated it myself, a friend thinks I'm being sorta being cyber stalked. I'm not sure why, my life isn't that interesting (remember Robin when you said you were being "checked-in" like a 100's a time a day). Anyways, Alex's ice hockey is over!!! He played on two teams this year and we didn't have to pay to play on either of them, but of course he did need new equipment. One of his teams became the Northern VA/DC/MD champs - way to go to them all! The other team doesn't to do that and they kinda stunk anyways but the parents on that team are the best. Alex is in LAX (Lacrosse) and is starting some kind of conditioning/training that will lead him into the High School Workouts (starting in June) for Football. It never ends with that boy! Erich's reading is picking up great! There really isn't that much to say with him, he just loves to head outside and play and play! He has been making his list for his birthday and that isn't even until May! He is so great with Summer. Totally entertains her for me when I need to cook or pee or whatever!! I tell him everyday how important he is in this family. Being a middle child myself, I want him to be assured that he is a huge part of this family! Just got a giggle thought in my head about his suit and deodorant from the OCS graduation! Ha Ha! Then there is Ms. Summer! Who rolls like a bowling ball and one of these days I will tape it.

Above sitting at the table eating pizza with us cause it was a Friday and there is no meat on Fridays - so cheese pizza was dinner!

One of mine and Erich's favorite shows - Dog The Bounty Hunter! Summer likes him too!

Summer holding onto a bag of one the best chips in the world - Herrs Old Bay Crab Chips!!! Yum! Yum!!

And Lisa you "Northerner" , that was too funny about the snow comment, but you are to sweet and should not, I repeat, NOT be sucked into me and Robins bad behavior! I love how you and Kat are such a breath a fresh air, plus you two help me mentally to behave myself! Watch my tone, watch my language! I've gotta behave!


BIG P.S. - My 38th Birthday is tomorrow!!!!!

A Nice Little Snow Amount

It was nice to finally get a decent amount of snow. Not so much that we are stuck for days and to little where its gone by the end of they day. When we measured out back we got 9 inches. So that was a nice little amount. In the evening it dawned on me that the 1st winter after I have baby we always get a big snowfall.
By day's end there was one little girl tired! Fell asleep in Alex's arms while watching AFV - not sure how that happened since we laugh the whole time during the show. Look how Alex has beard going on!

Below is Erich dancing to that song "Crank". Of course its videotaped with the my cell phone so its not too clear. We are dancing fools in this house!

I Am Gonna Eat This Baby Up!

First these videos are from my cell phone, 2nd they are only 15 secs and 3rd. I just love this Babe, I'm gonna eat her up!!!! I'm gonna upload in a little while her rolling all over the floor. She rolls like a sausage going downhill.

UGH!!

Everytime I change my background I lose my links! Anyone else have this problem?

For My Army Sisters!

Ladies! I was writing on Robins blog when it dawned on me how important you all are to me and how much we are important to one another! The relationship we have developed and some of us haven't even once meet! I have horrible relationships with my two "perfect" sisters and my "perfect" mother. So your friendship, guidance, encouragement and support has meant the world to me. Remember Lisa when we were chatting about our little ones? I can't say that to my family cause they would think something was wrong with me. Kat you inspire me to become close to Christ! April your memory for the military and help is a HUGE benefit to our group. Robin - without this sounding like a put down - we would be "bad" neighbors and that would be fun for us!! I think we have too much "enlisted" in us - LOL!!! I'd like to mention Kelly too, but I don't think she thinks of me much or reads this blog - but w/ four kids, I don't blame her. But her new baby sure is cute and her blogs....she is a really go writer.

I do miss that OCS board sometimes cause we were all on it everyday! Whatever happen to that one girl that drove everyone nuts? We are hosting a big Signal Ball in October, wonder if her and her DH will attend?

Ladies, love you all with all my heart and I mean that!!!!! Welcome our newest member to our gang....Little Baby Caleb!

Smooches and Hugs!!!

Back Home

So, I'm sitting here catching up on some stuff and people. Cracking up to myself about Robins illness. Not sure why that has me giggling. I think its the way she typed everything in.

I have a headache. My van has been having the smell of anti-freeze. At the end of last week I noticed that anti-freeze was inside the van. BUT wasn't sure if it came from the jug of it lying on the floor. Van worked great in the mountains of Scranton and so did the heat. But this morning that temperature gauge was all over the place and no heat. I knew right away it was the heater core. So Mike will take off tomorrow to fix it and check the gaskets as well. UGH!!!!

We are also broke from the weekend, but well worth the trip. I got to see my two nieces, brother and sister-in-law! And my sister-in-laws (Mia) family! Her niece that is a few weeks younger then Summer is soooo cute. I'm uploading photos now so I will post some pics from the weekend.

Alex's team placed 4th in the tournament. The STUNK on the last game! On our way back from Scranton, we swung by Hershey to ride through the Chocolate Factory. It was Erich's 1st time and of course Summers too! Their faces were funny! Worth the very small detour!

Well, Summer is fussin in her crib and I still have 2 more loads of laundry left from just this weekend. I feel that everything that went with us is just dirty, even if I didn't wear it.

Scranton

Hockey Tournament time is here again. But this year we are only doing on away tournament. Alex plays on two teams this year. We are in Scranton, PA. Its funny cause my younger brother Steven went to college up here. Worked in Baltimore and meet his wife in Baltimore and his wife and family are from here. Steven and his wife Mia live in Jersey but came here this weekend. We have not seen them yet, but will at today's game.

We are staying at a hotel that was once a train station, so its really neat and very 1st class. Problem is, there is no pool (this team manager for this team sucks). Glad Alex brought his XBox. We have two rooms, so the XBox is not in the room I sleep in, cause a lot of the kids are in there as well. And they are stinkin up that room.

I haven't read the blogs in a couple of days and was worried I missed the big news about Kat and low and behold she is still pregnant. WOW!!!

Alex's team is BOMBING at the tournament, but everyone is having blast! We have one more game so we can slide into last place and go home. If a miracle does happen and our fighting boys on the ice happen to not get six-thousand penalties and can score alot, we could be in a playoff or whatever, but as the magic eight ball would say....."Outlook Not So Good".

I Think....

I think that since Kat has not posted on her blog, nothing on facebook that she is the hospital.

100

WHERE IS BABY WADE ?!?!?!?!?

ALSO, This is my 100th post!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, jeez!

Look at my little girl!I went to my Mother-In-Laws house on Saturday to celebrate one of my nieces birthdays. The niece, Kelly brought one of her American Girl Dolls from Christmas with her. I took one look at her and said, that looks like me when I am old. So I took a photo so you all can see. But I do know that my wheelchair will be motorized.
A couple of photos of the inside of my car. Ewwwwww!

Yes, there are jeans in there. They are suppose to go back to the store but have only made it to my car.

Nasty tissues are everywhere. Sunday is suppose to be another beautiful day here, so I do plan on cleaning out the inside of the car.

Summer At The Doctors

I can't believe that little Bebe Summer is already 6 months old. She rolls all over the floor now. At first she was rolling like a bowling ball just in front of Erich. But now she's all over for me too. Summer just had her appointment yesterday and she is weighing in a little over 16lbs. And apparently she is a pretty long too.

Ooh! Dog the Bounty Hunter is on and its the very 1st episode - he has been married 4 times and has 12 children.

Gonna go! I wanna watch this, esp since Summer is napping!

*Shrug*

So I'm not sure what happen, but I was trying to upload a new screen and this page went berserk. But all is fine now. Although this is not what I wanted. So hopefully I can figure things out and get it the way I want it.

Thats all or now.

Baby-Bye-Bye-Bye & My Hero

Just a small note to say that I AM HAPPY THAT NFL IS OVER!!!!!!! And now I can't wait for NHL Hockey to be over too.

Oh and this little story that about my older brother, my hero. His youngest fell and busted his eye and yadda, yadda, yadda, Cliff went to take him to get his stitches out at NiteTime Peds. So there is this lady in there with her two kids. One kid has mangled up fingers cause they got ran over by a skateboard and the other kid has a fever of like 104. So the lady is begging the place to please see her kid w/ the fever as well and give her some Motrin, but the place said no cause the kid didn't have an appt. My brother heard the lady go, PLEASE, I have no money and I can't afford any Motrin, my husband is away and payday is still a few days off (of course, Cliff knows what that means, they are Military). So Cliff gets out of his waiting spot w/ three kids in tow, runs over to the Rite Aid and gets some Motrin, goes back to NiteTime and gives the lady the Motrin. He also gave her his name and number (plus his wifes name so she didn't think he was a weirdo) and said if you need anything, please call us.

My older brother has the biggest heart and I'm just so lucky to have him in my life. I can't imagine how life would be without him and often think to myself, what if Cliff hadn't heard the reload of the gun, what if Cliff opened his office door. Thank you Dear God, for keeping my brother here. He may not be curing cancer, but he certainly is here for many other important purposes and I just love him. Amen!

On Another Note

For those that are "iced" in...be thankful this isn't what happen to you!

Poor Babe Summer

Nothing exciting here. Poor Summer has a cold. I hate it when Babies have colds and their noses are all stuffed up and they can't breath. Then you gotta put the nasal spray up their nose and suck it out with that thing. I hate it!!!!!! Have you ever tried that sucky thing on yourself? Its like sucking out your brains. I had to do it to Summer around 4am. Woke the house up, but she had so much snot. So now she is not sleeping through the night anymore. Whaaaaaa. Oh well it won't last long (I hope).

I AM SOOO READY FOR SUMMERTIME TO BE HERE!!!

My List

Dear Mama-To-Be Kat

I guess its time for you to have a blog like I did to Mama Lisa. First let me start off about how excited I am that you are gonna be a Mama soon! I pray that your delivery goes easy and you don't have to have a c-section. BUT if they do give you one, I will say, it is a scary. And the recovery is the pitts. I often think and get sad that I cannot not have babies the old fashion way. Stay focus and if you forget everything you read - do not worry - the nurses will help you through everything. They will tell how to breath and even what to thinki. Trust me and trust them. In fact, I never took a birthing class and the nurses were the best.

So my list, is a short list cause the 1st one I over packed.

My own travel size of: Deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, soap, bath scrungie thingy. Breath mints and lots of them, still camera, cell phone & charger. Make-up, comb/brush and small mirror. Don't bring your own robe and nightgown - you will ruin them with the massive amounts of blood. Remember you haven't had "Flo" in a while. I personally do use their very old fashioned maxi pads, but bring or/have at home some extra long, extra heavy with wings super duty ones - you'll need. An outfit for the baby to get his hospital photo taken in. I use that one to bring the sweeties home in too. Its gonna be cold, so make sure you have blankets brought in from Seth on the day of check-out. A baby hat or the hospital will have one for you. Don't forget to have that car seat installed and have Seth bring it in as well on check out day too - can't leave hospital w/o it.

Also, I like to make sure I leave the hospital in a different outfit then the one I came in with.

I kept bath/wash items in one small bag. Make-up and brush and mirror in another. Baby stuff, camera, phone, etc in another.

But you know, everyone is different. As you can see from my list I didn't go by a traditional list of "don't forget your husband too." Cause I'm just selfish and have too much of my own stuff to worry about.

Lisa - what are your thoughts? Mine seem dumb.

Schools Out!

So we got some snow FINALLY!!!! It was perfect timing cause the county was already closed for today and tomorrow so they won't have to use any snow days. I hate it when they use snow days, not because they are home from school but because the county automatically adds four days at the end of the school year. So this year the kids last day of school is June 12th, yuck! After Memorial Day I am ready for the kids to have summer va-ca. Soooooo if the kids don't use their snow days then they will get out four days earlier and that would be June 8th.

Well thats all I have to write for today. Pretty boring, eh?

Bathing Suit Season

I am so excited because for the first time in my life I got to look, order and have delievered a two-piece bathing suit for my little Bathing Beauty Summer! The first one is the one I purchased. The second one I wanted to get, but since I have no job I just couldn't spend $58.00 on one for her. I love Nordstroms by the way so this is wear it came from and it arrived today!!!

Poetry Reading

This morning was pretty funny at Erich's school. His class had a Poetry Reading. The paper sent home had a photo of a Beatnik and said that Hot Chocolate will be served.
Everyone dressed in black and Erich and I went a step further. We were a hit at school.
Erich read his poem very well and I am so proud of him.

A Day To Remember

I let Alex stay home from school today to watch the inauguration and that we did. Well, I know I couldn't wait to wake up at 6am and listen to the traffic reports. 3 local metro stations were already closed by 6am cause they filled up. Bridges going in and out of NOVA (N. Virginia) were closed, so I'm sure that was a MAJOR problem. But I certainly enjoyed today's events!

I have Faith and I believe!

Alex, Me and Summer taking the photo right after he was sworn in.

Also, poor Robin. What can I do?... but think and pray that all will go smoothly for her and DH and I emphasize "smooth" for him. Good Luck girlfriend. You wouldn't be apart of the Army if you didn't have at least ONE good and by that I mean horrid move story. Mine was losing Alex and Mike somewhere in Tennessee and we didn't have cell phones then.

I've Been Published!

So I read this People Magazine about Tom Cruise and even though it was pleasant. I still get mad at liberal media constantly getting upset about A: His views and B: His Religion!

I can see Fox News acting crazy, but why liberal media? WHY!!!!
So I wrote to People starting off with this, I must be the last women who has suffered from depression that still likes Tom Cruise. I said another sentence about liberal media and how wrong they are. The rest of the letter was published in the magazine with John Travolta on the cover! I've been published! I like Tom Cruise, he isn't cruel, is kind to others and entertains me....so there! On another note, Erich and I had a "Caddyshack" moment yesterday. That's right after the third kid, the third took a turd in the tub!!! We were cracking up!!! Summer is finally rolling over. In the beginning she seemed to be only rolling over for Erich, but finally let me see. Alex's team had a tournament and they STUNK!!! If you can't come in 1st, might as well come in dead last with no points to their name and start hitting at the end to get all kinds of penalties.

Friday night, me, Debi & Leslie went to The Melting Pot and it was so FUN!! We laughed the whole time and we are pretty sure they were glad we left, well at least the group of fuddie-duddies sitting near us! Esp the guy with the freaky big eyes!!!

I'm on facebook. I forgot I signed up for it back in 07, but didn't do anything and tried again last Jan 08 and thought it sucked, but I have been pressured by others to get on again. See my 20 year High School Reunion is coming up this July, so its been fun chatting with some people I haven't talked to since Elementary School. Our high school must've had about 800 in just our graduating class alone. So it was easy to lose touch during the high school years. Everyone looks the same and great!!!

I'm also thinking that all of these people that are coming to the area to go the inauguration will be leaving the area unhappy. Traffic is AWFUL when someone gets a flat tire on the beltway, parkway, highway or interstate. Signs have been up reminding us locals that traffic will be bad so plan ahead and those signs have been flashing for a week. Its suppose to snow and stay cold. People don't understand the traffic around the Baltimore/Annapolis/ DC area unless they are from here. Its just bad all the time. So good luck to those folks - I'll be in my warm home that I have reasonable rent to (unlike those fools that are paying as much as $5,000 for week) and food watching on TV! Good Luck!

So nothing much else going on, same ole, same ole!!

Heartbroken

My heart is sooo broken for this family and the loss of their son. I fell in love in John Travolta the minute I saw the 1st promotional ad for the movie Grease back in 1978. Of course I remember watching re-runs of Welcome Back Kotter as a young one too. But as Danny, he was IT!!! I remember once reading a story about a woman he loved and she had died and how hard it was for him to go through that. Then he met Kelly, and they fell in love and had two beautiful children.

No parent should ever go through the pain of losing their child. My heart breaks so much for them and other parents that have gone through this as well. Jett, you are in a great place. Say Hi to my dear friend Nicky. I miss her alot.

God Bless You Jett and God Bless this family as they deal with such a sad time in their lives.

Crabtown

One of Alex's hockey teams - Bowie Bantams won this years Crabtown Tournament! As you may guess, Crabtown its called because Maryland Is For Crabs (blue ones only) and its host rink is the Naval Academy. Booooo Navy! Go Army Beat Navy!Above, is the photo of the team all happy that they won. Of course Alex is lying down cause he is the goalie. Oh and he had a shut-out one of his games.
Above, Alex getting a trophy.
I must say, I was sad that I wasn't able to attend any of the four games because Erich and Summer and myself were sick. Mike was sick too, but nothing stops him from attending Alex's games and I know he would've just been miserable staying home taking care of the little ones, cause that is just not him and its pretty upsetting to me. Pity-party for Mike....1,2,3 awwwwww!
Yea for me who continues to move and grove or as I have said before I solider on no matter what.
