Cam is officially FIVE. He has desperately been waiting 364 days for this day to come. We celebrated Cam's birthday by going to Jumping Jack's (bounce house), Kneaders for Cam's favorite cream of broccoli soup, and then having cake and ice cream and of course presents. Every year I let Cam choose what kind of cake he wants for his birthday. This year he asked for a dung beetle cake. It didn't really surprise me since I have already made a diamond back rattle snake and a Goliath bird-eating tarantula in years past. This one did have a much worse gross factor. In fact, Owen would not eat it because he was sure it was poop. This is why we love Cam. He is definitely his own person!
Reasons we love our 5 year old...
1. He woke up on his birthday and informed me his voice sounded different. I asked how it sounded different and he said, "it doesn't sound so babyish anymore, it's a little more manly."
2. He begged me to take his "stabilizers" off his bike. He even went and found the right size wrench and started doing it himself. After the "stabilizers" were removed, he sat on his bike, and I held onto the back and ran with him. He yelled at me the whole time to let go, but I am way too big of a sissy. Finally, I told him he would have to wait for daddy to get home. I started walking up the driveway, and turned around to see Cam riding his bike behind me. I guess he didn't get my sissy gene.
3. He LOVES Journey!! Cam can sing every word of "Don't Stop Believing" and would like to listen to it everyday and all day! The other day he told me when he grows up he wants to have a band called the Venus Fly Traps, and they will only sing about plants...not LOVE, because love songs are so dumb.

So this just made me laugh, Cam is my kind of kid, a dung beetle, that is awesome, and you did a very impressive job making it!
Hope you guys are good!
I will be honest. This cake makes me nauseous. But I appreciate your talent.
