Nanny of the Year!

When it comes to nannys I must say my nieces Cate and Carolyn have the best in Kelly! I spent a little over a week in Denver shooting and hanging out with my nieces and seriously could not believe my eyes with the gem my sister has in Kelly. She not only is shuttling the girls around to museums, swimming lessons, dance classes, the aquarium, but she also does all their laundry all probably while singing a happy song! I seriously got shorted!

Unfortunately for the girls Kelly is going back to teaching Kindergarten this fall so our family will lose her. My sister was going through interviewing nannys and would excuse herself to the bathroom to call Kelly and tell her about all the wack-0 people that wanted the job ....only Jessica would do something like that! Anyone who has ever looked for decent childcare will tell you how valuable a good one can be. They were offering trips to Hawaii and salaries so good I was tempted to quit and go be the nanny (then I realized I would have my two kids too and 4 kids might put me in jail). So not because of a lack of effort on Jessica & Rob's part, Kelly will be leaving our family, but will hopefully come back to visit often! I am excited that she will be making 25 little 5 year olds very happy this fall.

During all the craziness of juggling my sister, which is a chore, Kelly and her boyfriend Steve scheduled a shoot with me. It was an almost engagement shoot...heck I don't know what to call it, but they are not engaged, but if they do get engaged I have dibs on them because they are so dang cute! We headed out downtown and did some very "unKelly" like behavior like trespassing at Union Station. It was a great time and fun to shoot in normal temperatures. Afterwards we caught up with some great Mexican food and well we missed the fireworks for the most part, but it was fun!

Here are a few of my favorites. You can view their slideshow at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!

I like how they have kept a lot of the old painting on the brick in Denver.

I was going to photo shop out the crane, but I like how it makes this one look more urban. You can't beat a Colorado blue sky:)

Everyone who skis knows about the famous ski train.

I love how skinny I look in my shadow.

I love this one, but don't get any hints Steve!

Thanks for being so fun! I hope to see you all again soon, with a ring...hint!
