My Mama

Before Christmas, my parents came into town for our families "Cousins Christmas." Later that weekend, little did my Mom know... she would be part of a cocoa + cookies mini-session photo shoot! Never a dull moment at our house... I couldn't be more excited about these adorable photos of Ellie and my Mom. Cookies baked by Kyra's Bake Shop, shoot styled  by Jessica at Modern Moments and the pictures captured by Courtney Jade Photography. Thank you to everyone involved to make this photo shoot a complete success!

Kyras Bake Shop

This last weekend, Evan had a Baseball tournament across town in Lake Oswego. I love this sweet small town. They have a great Saturday Market, as well as cute shops. But, I have to say my favorite store in this town is this adorable Bakery called Kyra's Bake Shop. Kyra's Bake Shop is a three-time winner for Food Network's Cupcakes Wars. Since Jason was out of town at a Golf Tournament I was Evan's ride to and from every game. :) He had to be at the field an hour early each game. This gave me a chance to tootle around town. I knew I needed to try this Bakery- (blogger friends recommended) The Red Velvet was screaming my name. It DID NOT disappoint!! Delicious... Almost as sweet as my yummy cupcake was the surprise of my nieces coming into town. They came and watched Evan play Baseball and really helped cheering him on. Evan's team WON the whole Tournament! Yeah... We had a sweet weekend all a round!
