S'mores cake and update

We are hanging in there. Spending most of our time indoors due to the heat. Landon and I have been playing soccer in the neighborhood park a few days a week to get out and to get some fun exercise. E loves to play in the grass and watch! We also enjoy going swimming at the neighborhood pool and of course as many trips down the slide as Landon can squeeze in!

E turned 8 months old on Friday, I just can't wrap my head around the fact that she will be 1 in 4 short months. Where has the last year gone??

We decided to try a new baking recipe this weekend, I have recently joined Pinterest and it's amazing (thanks Andrea!). I found this cake on there and just had to try it. It's a 7 layer s'mores cake, and the recipe came from this amazing blog; http://fatgirltrappedinaskinnybody.blogspot.com/2011/06/ultimate-smore-anniversary-cake.html It took me a bit to make it (read: 2 days) due to distractions and playing with the kids, but let me tell you, it was well worth it. Landon had a very, very small bite last night (it's not FOD friendly at.all.) and I couldn't even finish my small slice (see picture). So, I plan on having neighbors and friends over to help me eat this cake!!

I am hoping to get out some this next weekend and take the kids back to the Children's Museum. They had such a blast the first time we went, and it's indoors with AC! It doesn't hurt that we have a membership since we also have a zoo membership! Pictures to come for sure!

I will leave you with E's 8 month pics as well as pictures of this amazing cake!!

mmm....cake!

I can't get the picture to rotate sorry, she looks so big to me though!
