Oh how I love being an Aunt

As it is fairly obivious.. I am so happy to have Riley here! Amanda and Shawn came over with Riley to have my Mother take Riley's baby pictures. I was holding him while Amanda and Shawn were getting situated and my Mom had me look up and she took the first picture. I didn't know that she had taken the second picture. There is something so very special about this little boy. I cant seem to get enough! I am so blessed to have the opportunities to watch the little babies that I do. They are all so special. I can't wait to be a Mother :)

AUNT KENZIE :)

Welcome to the world Riley Joseph Bartlett! Riley came into this world just 3 days after the baby shower Kristie and I gave for Amanda! Perfect timing! Riley was born close to 4 am August 31st. He weighed 5 lbs 13 oz he was 18 inches long. He was 21 days early and healthy as can be! I am so glad he is here and safe and Parents and baby are healthy and happy :) I AM AN AUNT!!! Oh happy day!

Sweet Riley :)

Waiting for Riley

This is my brand new amazing friend Kristie! We met through Amanda because we both wanted to throw her a baby shower. Now we are great friends! So Good :)

We got some light weight rope and clothes pins and hung up some Maternity Pictures that my Mom took for Amanda and Shawn. It was fun to have those pictures to look at!

There was a gift bench that all the gifts were put on and around. The bench was a heavy stone bench and it was so pretty :)

We had the Shower in Amanda's Parents newly remodeled backyard. It was so gorgeous and beautiful weather.

Kristie and I also made some refreshments (it was mostly Kristie :)..) I carved the watermelon to look like a baby carriage ( it was Kristie's Idea) We had Amanda's favorite homemade rolls and cookies and cream cupcakes and banana pudding pies, and  gelatin popcorn and Ice water. It was fun and DELICIOUS!!!

Kristie and I made this diaper cake for Amanda and Shawn. It was so much fun to make :)
