Cake-a-palooza

So I've been wondering why after working so hard to loose weight in March and April, why I've gained back a few pounds.  Then I went through our pictures to post about the kids and this is what I found......

Aron's Father's Day cheesecake

9lbs of heaven in a Chocolate Salted Carmel Cake

Aron's 41st Birthday cheesecake

My 39th Birthday cake, made completely by the boys

 

I think I see the problem now.

Jackson loved 4th grade and as no surprise was the one of the teachers pets. 

Party Rock Anthem

Every day I'm shuffling......Jacob and his class had a flash mob at Arden Fair mall as an end of the year, good by to elementary school event.  He was so excited about it.  His class spent weeks practicing the routine. The local news was there (click on link below) as well as many parents with their own video recorders.  So many parents that it was obvious something was going on.

Jacob and the best teacher I've ever met, Mr. A.  He's like a big kid himself and inspired the kids to do their best and be enthusiastic about not just school but life.  Jacob really came out his shell in his class.
