5 pound Mother's Day Weekend

My entire Mother's day weekend was wonderful! It started on Saturday with a trip down to San Diego for my cousin Ashley's baby shower. Janell and I enjoyed driving down with peace and quiet in the car. It amazes me how quickly a car trip goes by when you can talk to your best friend with no interruptions from the little ones! I had a great time eating the delish brunch food followed up by some imtation Sprinkles cupcakes. I haven't had the real Sprinkles, but these were likely just as yummy! I was able to see my Grandma Monroe, who is one of the best examples of a good mother that I have had in my life.

That evening I was spoiled more with a night out with the girls: Janell, Me, Mom, and Aunt Cheryl. We enjoyed critiquing the prom dresses of the 10+ prom girls that were seated next to us. As you can see my mom even got us all a huge dessert! That mountain fudge cake at Black Angus is one of my favorites!

This handsome man (my little bro Joseph) was our server, which made it even more fun.
My Sunday was great purely because Kirk was home. When we returned home the kids made me a "bed" on the couch where I was to rest. The resting wasn't happening well there, so Kirk sent me up to my room for a mandated nap (one of my favorite things). When I woke up the entire down stairs was clean, including bleached countertops, and dinner was cooking. Kirk made yummy fajitas that we enjoyed in the company of my wonderful mother-in-law, father-in-law, Grandma Kratzer, Kristi/Juan, and Brandon/Cat, and of course my 3 beautiful kids.

Following dinner we headed over to Erika's (my sis-in-law) for some delishous chocolate cake and ice cream, which I obviously hadn't had enough of the night before because it tasted bomb!!! So, now I am back to the gym working off my Mother's Day desserts.
