This last weekend? Best weekend in a while!

Actually most weekends aren't bad. And I have to admit, any weekends that involve the "Riviera" are REALLY good weekends. But this weekend for staying home in Escondido was a keeper.

It started off with my husband and I having movie night here at our house to ourselves. Kevin had the MORP dance at school. uh....not sure what MORP is and not sure if I want to go through the effort to ask him. Luck is with us. Kevin just graced me with his presence! MORP is PROM backwards. What will they think of next? John and I watched "All about Steve". Sandra Bullock is in the movie and she's a crack up. Cute movie..kinda stupid,but then I'm not the world's foremost movie critic.

Saturday morning was spent doing laundry, picking up around the house,vacuuming, getting Kevin to take stuff to Amvets for me. At noon, John, Kevin and I stopped at McDonald's and had the Big Mac Wrap (not bad) and headed south to Melissa Cheer Competition. Melissa, Jim and Julie have been our best friends for years. Melissa has been SO involved with Cheer and we never have seen her perform.

Melissa is in the middle



Holy cow....she's doing great! She cheered with two different teams.

The Donnellons and the Hurkmans


John left from Cheer with Jim to head north to Anaheim for Supercross and Kevin and I headed back north to Escondido. We had mom/son bonding time at Applebees for dinner, we actually talked. ;) Afterwards we headed back home and I made Red Velvet Cupcakes and read. Kevin watched some weird movie that only kids his age would like. (it was really weird. Called "the gamer")

Sunday, John took off early in the morning to head to the Riviera. He had a board meeting for Friends of Ocotillo Wells. He took the cupcakes with him to share, much to Kevin's dismay. About 2 hours after John left...."Mom, where are all the cupcakes?" He did have a couple, so he's good. Teenager cannot live on Cupcakes alone.

My girlfriend Julie and I had lunch at "On the border" And then afterwards, geocaching at Lake Hodges.

Me and my "babies"


We had to work that lunch off and then of course x'ed is all out by going to Soup Plantation that night with our Riviera girls Deb and Paige. All in all it was a fantastic weekend!

Dinner with the girls!
