weekend wrap-up... AND the cutest video ever... SHEESH!

We had QUITE the weekend, yet AGAIN. It all started with my husband John's birthday on Friday (the 13th heheheh). He did take the day off and we had a nice day driving down to Sprinkles cupcakes in Beverly Hills and then going out to lunch later in the day. Friday night we attended a fundraiser for leukemia at a local high school, featuring............... 
................. favorite local high school bands - including our son Davy's band, Cost of the Recall. It has been a while since we've heard them play live, so it was fun to go see them. The crowd was great and the band was in fine form. Such a fun, talented group of terrific guys. We love these boys. Yes, Davy likes to sing in his underwear. It's just his way. 
Doing a little of his famous screaming. It comes from somewhere deep within. We're not sure where. We're not sure we want to know. As long as a hernia isn't involved we like remaining blissfully unaware. It adds to his mystique.

And then on Saturday we did a 180 and switched gears for our 13 year old Matthew's big dance competition. The 7th graders at his junior high have never entered this competition before, but his awesome P.E. teachers jumped at the chance. These 10 kids worked hard for 8 weeks, learning the cha-cha, the merengue, the waltz, the tango, and the west coast swing. 
Each couple was chosen to dance what they were best at. Matthew and his partner Kendra were chosen for the West Coast Swing. They were A-MAZ-ING! They danced 3 times before a panel of judges. To see that Mouse out there dancing like that... I can't even explain it - all I can do is smile. It was just too cool :) And with their combined scores, their junior high won FIRST PLACE! 
Congratulations to all the kids and teachers! You worked so hard! You totally deserved to win! We're so proud of you!

Cutest video ON EARTH. And I'm not biased either. Okay maybe a little.
