happy halloween

Halloween was perfect this year. Katy chose to be Merida from Brave, and sister Katie offered her services to help us get there. We headed up to the salon in the morning and got the full service. As you can see, she was a spot on match!

I wish Katy liked pictures more, but this was as good as I could get.

Aunt Katie always comes over and goes trick or treating with us (a favorite of this family)

Will was not too amused by the trick or treating, as you can see here.

Even more so when he actually feel asleep! If he's anything like me (sweet tooth central) he'll figure out what it's all about sooner or later!
We took Katie out to dinner afterwards, the perfect ending to the perfect day!

That and a good ol tubby! Katy told me earlier that day that her hair felt just like cotton candy, she is so funny sometimes!

august 12 . vivienne's blessing day

It's always fun to spend time with family....even when you have to get up at the crack of dawn to drive to Brigham City for a baby blessing at 9:00 am.

Ha ha, love the outtakes sometimes. This is what you get when I have a totally goofy face in the others and my family hates to take pics...

Vivienne and mom humored me though. 

This picture makes me laugh. Gage, TJ, and Brynn have proven to be GREAT cousins...Will is still just getting used to all the noise, I guess!

Vivienne looked beautiful. Britney found the cutest rose bracelet (her middle name is Rose). I am still blow away by all that hair.

Even though they are still figuring it out, these two are becoming fast friends!

Katy and the Bunny

I've wanted to start project 365 for, like, ever...and even though it started in March I am so glad that I have taken the opportunity to put Katy behind the lens. I was getting caught up in my iPhone pictures that my camera was collecting dust in the corner (if I wasn't taking pictures of other people).

Also, because I love photography so much, it's been nice to do something for me. I LOVE taking pictures, but my favorite are still those of my family and my sweet Katy.

Sister Katie let us come over and use her bunny Lola for the afternoon. She was great. Katy thought she was hilarious...win, win if you ask me. Here are some of my other favorites of todays "session"

I Love spring time and all that it has to offer. I love Easter and have been working hard with Katy the last week prepping her that Easter is really about Jesus and the resurrection. I think she is getting it. We just keep telling her that the Easter Bunny is a fun bonus of celebrating Easter.

Lola is so dark she almost just looked like a black blob in most of the pictures.

If that picture on the left doesn't look exactly like Steve...I don't know what does! Ha, it makes me laugh that she can look so much like him one minute and so much like me the next. It will be interesting to see if mister is such a good mix of the two of us.
