Grand Falls

 We decided to go and check out Grand Falls. It's the largest continually flowing waterfall in MO. It was pretty sweet but I think it was funner seeing how much Dax liked putting his feet in the water. Mostly we were just happy to spend some time with daddy! Here's to 11 months with this little one! I can't believe you will be a year old in about a month!

Labor Day

We went on a hike with friends for Labor Day. It was super hot and we did get lost for a little bit but it was a lot of fun! The babes did so awesome and didn't complain the whole time! I feel like we rarely get out of doors lately so this was just what we needed. Burning a ton of calories didn't hurt either ;).

Sam's Birthday + Birthday Cake

Sam's birthday was last week and I made probably the best cake I have ever made for him. Naked cakes are becoming popular so I decided to make one. If you haven't seen one you should google them. There are some really cool ones! 
 
I think Dax will like opening his presents on his birthday because he sure liked helping dad open his.

There's my masterpiece! Haha, basically a naked cake is just not frosted everywhere. I can never get my cakes to come out of the pans smoothly but I knew that would important when I couldn't cover it up. I looked up some tricks that hopefully will help you if you have this problem. Wipe the pan with butter or oil, flour it, lay down wax paper (you can trace it and cut it before oiling it) then repeat the oiling and flouring. It comes out so easily! The peanut butter frosting was so good and light. I layered the top with a ganache. I have never made one before but this stuff is amazing and I just want to cover everything with it now!
