December Baby!

I can't believe this time last year I was preggers! How time flies! I had the opportunity to meet "E" today....a soon to be mommy due in Dec. We met up in Seattle and headed over to Kubota Gardens. The park had an "interesting" map that took us around in circles for over an hour. We FINALLY found the waterfall though! It was a really pretty place. Here's a little sneak peek for you! Kylen was a good boy today and took a 3 hour power nap...so I started editing! Enjoy!

Go FC Blues!!!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to take team/individual pictures for a youth soccer team on McChord (FC Blues).

Kylen turned 10 months yesterday! I can't believe it...already in the double digits! Last night was TERRIBLE. Kylen kept on waking up screaming and nothing seemed to help him relax! It probably didn't help that I stayed up late editing soccer pictures. When he woke up today, I realized that one of his bottom teeth is starting to come through....explains his grumpy mood over the past couple of days.

Work is getting better. I was really busy getting reading groups going, then adjusting them a little, and starting DIBELS testing (a reading test we give K-5). I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable with things as each day passes....though it was not fun being "chewed" out by an angry parent over a decision I did not make and had to try to explain...ugh! I think things will get better though!

Well, I better get going. I'd like to finish the soccer pictures, so I can get them out hopefully tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

Do the Puyallup!

Kylen is so lucky! He went to the fair twice already! Dan and I took Kylen to the fair last Saturday. He had so much fun. He learned how to clap and was clapping the whole time we were there. He also had his first barbecue sandwich...yum yum!

My mom and dad took Kylen to the fair again today. He won his first stuffed animal! He had a lot of fun!

Monday started our mommy/baby swimming lessons. Kylen LOVES the pool. We learned how to float on Monday...and today we learned how to go under water. I was so afraid Kylen was going to get scared and cry..but he loved it!Last weekend I tested out a new roll of seamless background paper. I also brought out the teacup to see if Kylen would scream again...hehe To my surprise...he didn't! He loved it! In fact, I even caught him clapping! Here are a couple of my favs:

Brown Eyed Boy

Well...Kylen is officially a brown eyed boy just like his daddy! It's been a while since I took pictures of Ky, so I tested out my grey seamless paper today. Tomorrow's open house at work! I'm excited to see all the little kiddos! I'm helping out w/ the yearbook this year, so I'll be able to get a lot of photography practice! Well...here's one picture for now. It's after 3pm...probably should take a shower...hehe....gotta love lazy days! I'll post some more pics later!
Update: Here's the link to my little mini session from today: http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/thumbpage.aspx?e=4063266

Back to School

The days of summer are over...did they ever really begin? I'm sad that summer is over, and I have to go back to work. These past few days I've had to go into work all day...and I've just missed Kylen soooooooooooooo much! It's a lot harder now that he's older. He's been having fun though w/ Grammy, Ms. Amy, and the boys! Yesterday I did a practice session for the soccer pictures I'm doing in September. Here's one of my favs:

They're baaaaaaaaaaack!

As some of you know, I had a horrible experience w/ my wedding photographers back in 2005. Well...periodically...I check to make sure they're no longer in business...b/c they were so rude and unprofessional to me and my family...and for the past 2 years...they've been "missing." I don't know what made me check today...but I did and they're back! Yuck! To top it off...it says that they photographed Ruben Studdard's wedding?! OMG! Crazy! Hopefully he had a good experience with them and doesn't have an unfished piece of crappola wedding album in his closet.. *sigh* Okay...it's after 3am...need to sleep!

I always have to have a pic w/ my posts...so here's a cutie from a while back. Ky's been grumpy these past few days...so no new pictures yet! Soccer practice shoot on Monday...stay tuned!

Isn't she lovely?

My little sister, Kelly, is so beautiful! I was going through some recent pictures and came across this one...I LOVE it!
