Kimee at her best


Yesterday I had the opportunity for Kimee to take some shots of Riley at her studio. It was amazing! So great to catch up, then of course taking some fun pictures of Riley. Which by the way, Riley did awesome! She started out all smiles...then it lead to the stare, then the 'im done playing this game' kind of attitude. Which, after 3 outfit changes and an hour of shooting, was pretty amazing. This morning, she emailed me 2 "teasers" so here they are! Aren't they awesome! Kimee is unbelieveably talented, and I feel so honored for her to take Riley's pictures and use them for her website! More will be on her website in the next week or two. I'll let you all know when they're up! Check out her website to see her amazing work. http://www.kimberleewest.com/




Thanks again Kimee!!!

27

This week Marky celebrated his 27th birthday!!! Nothing really went as planned. He woke up super early to go stand up paddleing. I decided to bake his favorite...Coffee Cake for breakfast. So while that was in the oven, I quickly decorated.

I put some signs and pictures up all over the house, then decided to put up some blue ribbon off the fan. Then the buzzer went off. Coffee cake was done. Not quite so I closed the oven door for a few minutes while the finish baking to perfection. So i started to tape some ribbon to the celing fan. It looked great. So festive! Until i turned ON the fan. What a mess! They knotted everywhere! I was su bummed. So grabbed Marky's knife and attemted to cut off the tangled ribbon. That didn't work. Then I realized...COFFEE CAKE!!! burned. :(

So after work, I made his present. Taking Riley's pictures! Easy as that. Wrong. She was not in a picture taking mood!! I take her picture almost everyday and she is always all smiles. The one day I need her smiles, she wont give em! So here's what I got...







as you can clearly see...she either didnt like her outfit, or just wasnt in the mood for the beach and pictures. Its ok... cause these pictures are so differnent than what we already have. And so here's the final project. A very large scrapbook page, framed. He LOVED it!...so the day turned out ok!




Bootylicious



Check out that booty!!! It looks like a heart!!!!
and here she is at 2 weeks. Look at the difference!

Shoes

Shoes. Riley just might be a shoe girl. In my baby book, my mom wrote that i loved shoes. so we'll see if those exact words will be going down in Riley's baby book. What i love, is her bare feet. If Marky is watching her, or I ask him to dress her, she always wears shoes. Daddy is a big shoe person and wants Riley to be too. Anyway, yesterday Vans gave Riley a gift. New shoes. Granted they dont quite fit--but they are sooo stinkin cute!

I love her little new shoes. And bib to match!! here's a picture of her shoe basket. Do you think she has enough??
