Park of Roses

We spent this morning preparing for my friend Candice's baby shower, then I had a great time this afternoon at the shower while Ben and Emerson went and did manly things because there was too much chick food around. This evening we went to the Park of Roses to snap some photos with the Richards. I tell ya, Mike and Candice have quite the artsy eye(s). The new picture adorning the top of our blog is from them. (Thanks guys!) It's so nice to have a picture of the three of us! Any time you need subjects to practice your photography skillz, we're up for it. Because Mike, I know you want more pictures of Ben to hang up in your locker at school. :)

Some of the cookies I made as favors for the baby shower



The shower food

Ok so this is kind of a dumb picture that I took because there are NO roses in it and the park has like 13 acres of roses. But Ben and Emerson are cute, so I guess it's not a total loss.

Yes, I do stop every once in awhile to smell the roses. (Lame joke, I know.)

I'm a huge fan of your family photo. Very cute. And your cookies look divine! You should work for that place that makes the cookie bouquets.

I'll be honest, when I saw your blog I wondered if you had seen mine and were openly mocking me. What? You saying my jokes are lame? That is so funny. We just are in sync like that. Cool people are.
