Duluth Town Green

Recently on a trip back home to the ATL we visited the park where Brad and I got married. I have to say that the park is even more amazing today than it was when we got married. The park has grown so much and the buildings are just amazing.

Below is a photo of us on our wedding day 6/5/04

Here we are on the same spot with our happy family 6/27/10


Austin had fun running around the park and checking everything out
How amazing is that...There is a fountain that comes on right on this big concrete area

The new City Hall building. I would love to have time to go here and take some photos of the buildings and of the kids here.

The love of my life being silly
This park is truly amazing these days, if I was a photographer or lived in the area still I would be there taking photos all the time. Needless to say we will be making some trips to the park in our future visits to take more family photos (who knows maybe I will even get a photographer to meet us there).

On a side note: Do you remember "The Run Away Bride" from a few years ago??? Well this park is where all the media camped out when she ran from her bride.

The Hooper's Gender Reveal Party

We went to Atlanta for the weekend to visit my parents and to attend a very special party. My BFF from high school Laura was having a gender reveal party to celebrate her second child. Laura and her hubby CJ went earlier in the day and had an ultrasound to find out the babies sex. They then took the results (which they did not know) to the bakery who baked them a cake. The inside of the cake was going to be either blue or pink. So when they cut into the cake they would find out if they were having a little boy or another little girl. They party was such a great idea. If we have a 3rd child I would love to have a party like this.

Atlanta Trip-Dozer fun with Papa

We went to Atlanta to visit Grandma-ma & Papa and when we got there Papa had a big surprise waiting on Austin. My parents had got there lawn redone and Papa talked the guy who did the work into leaving his bulldozer over the weekend along with the key so he could take Austin for a ride. I am not sure who had more fun-Austin or Papa. They both had smiles from ear to ear.

Curtis (my cousin) had to jump in for a quick picture too.
