Da KING!

It was "HOMECOMING Week" at the high school this week which meant "BUSY" (Cameron said that "busy" was and understatement) for our 2 teenagers. Being Cameron's senior year, he decided to participate in the Homecoming KING Pageant....which meant many nights of practice, cake making, talent finding, coming up with a costume to model and everything else that goes along with this crazy, fun, busy week.

Cameron was determined to make his cake from scratch. I frowned on the idea, but only because the cake recipe that he wanted to use, often falls in the middle if you don't make it perfectly...BUT he was determined...and HE DID THE ENTIRE THING by himself, from mixing, to measuring, to baking and decorating...he did it all....I didn't touch a thing AND IT DIDN'T fall in the middle!!! He even went out to our raspberry patch to pick fresh raspberries for it! I was thrilled with the way it turned out. It was a masterpiece and he can forever say that it was "HIS"(and HIS ALONE) masterpiece! Someday his wife will be grateful that he is such a master chef (he really is an awesome cook)!!!

my little man hard at work~

his "Buttermilk Chocolate Raspberry" cake....

The opening number started with the boys performing a hilarious dance number. It was the first hysterical moment of the night...not because the boys didn't do well, BUT because they did...funny~ because BOYS are just funny when they do things like that. It was a fun filled, great evening of entertainment kind of night!

For Cameron's talent he performed a "Commercial Spoof" where he sucked helium from a balloon and sang the "Oscar Mayer Bologna" song....I still laugh every time I rewatch it on the camcorder
For his modeling they were asked to "wear their favorite first Halloween costume"...Cameron thought it would be fun to wear the first one ANYONE gets to wear...and so he showed "Where babies come from"....THE STORK! It was adorable and we laughed pretty hard as we saw this GIANT sized baby on a stork come out from behind the curtain.

Cameron did a fantastic job.....had a wonderful time and we all laughed for a long time. We were thrilled and excited as they announced the winner as " CAMERON WILKERSON, THE 2011 DHS HOMECOMING KING". What a great way to end the last Homecoming of his highschool years!!!

Congrats to my little Man!
