Fire.

This weekend we had a little bonfire in Tyson's parent's backyard. It was the perfect way to kick off the warm weather season! It made me so excited to go camping, be done with school and just spend time with family and friends! We had tin foil dinners and some delicious peach cobbler made by Jordan (correction: Chef Jordan). It was fun to just sit around the fire and chat with each other. Except for smoke in the lungs-- that part was not fun. My camera did smell somewhat like smoke after this, but it was worth it! The lighting was really great and I love documenting fun things like this.

Enjoy! :)

Photo Blog.

If you haven't yet, check out Katie's new photo blog here.

I've been posting old shoots I've done, just preparing for new ones. :)

I have a couple in the next few weeks, so be sure to check in and see the photos.

Thanks friends! I promise I will post more about our married life soon. We've been REAL busy with school overtaking over lives. Finals are approaching, blah. The only good thing about that is the semester is nearly over!

Bring on summer-- please!

That's all for now. Stay tuned. Things WILL get more exciting. That's a guarantee. :)

Senioritis.

{Senior photos taken of one of my BFF's Witney last year}.

Here's the thing. I would love to take your senior pictures if you are graduating in the class of 2010. If you aren't, I am sure you know someone who is. And who wouldn't want FREE senior pictures? With a free disk of edited pictures for their using. Honestly? I don't know who doesn't like free stuff.
Soo, if you are one of these people or know one-- let me know. Send me an email at katieannperkes@gmail.com!

Help me help you with some lovely senior portraits.

Like the ones featured above. :)

I'm a Barbie Girl. Or Boy.

I wanted to post some pictures from the barbie jeep my mom bought for the grandkids. I was going to in the Easter post, since that's when these were taken... but there were too many good ones, that they deserved their very own post. Also, these kids kill me with their good looks and hilarious comments. I love spending time with them! Yay for nieces and nephews. Not just these five crazy cute kids, but all 15 (almost 17) of them! They lighten life like no other.

Anyway, enjoy some photos:

An Eggsellent Weekend.

Hi, my name is Katie and I'm a blog-a-holic.

Okay, I am kind of blog crazy lately. I can't help it!

I like to document things.

I like to write them down.

And who doesn't love reading about our awesome and overly exciting life, right?!

Anyway. I apologize for being a little blog crazy. I'm not really working on it, so just deal with it (those 7 people who read this).

This post features our Conference/Easter weekend. There is a plethora of photos and I could've posted more. Enjoy them if you want, because I sure do.

So since I documented the weekend in photos, I will write briefly about our weekend.

Friday: organized the apartment a bit. drove to springville. ate homemade pizza made by camille at the Hafen casa. tyson played soccer, hide and seek, hot and cold and easter egg hunts. what a great uncle! (i did hear the kids say today that they have two favorite uncles--Tyson and Brandon, of course). we also saw the last song, just because i read the book-- which i loved. the movie was good too, but not as good as the book, of course.

Saturday: conference. priesthood session for Tyson, girls/kid night at the clyde residence. ate food. talked. etc. then watched home videos--which are the BEST.

Sunday: conference. delicious dinner. conference. barbie jeepin'. dessert. back to logan.

It was a great weekend. I love seeing my family and spending time with them! It was a lot of fun and my niece Lauren who is afraid of strangers didn't even cry when i held her! It was a bonding weekend for us. Right Laur?

Family is awesome. My family. My in-laws. I love them all. We have fun with both families and are so blessed to both have great ones! We love you all!

OK. too many words. so sorry. :)

Photo time:

We ate some subway.

I made these: Easter style.

Of course, we had to have some of THESE little babies.

Muddie Buddies are a classic. Wow-- we ate healthy.

We also took some of these.

My dad did a little of this.

We watched some of these. They were the best!

And of course a little of this!

We woke up Easter morning to THIS white, fluffy stuff.

Our Easter baskets! and of course, the milk jug.

German pancakes. love 'em.

A delicious conference breakfast.

Fancy Easter dinner.

See the next post for more photos from our Easter weekend!

Little Lauren Lou Lou.

Here is the latest little shoot I did with my niece Lauren, who is 10 months old. She's adorable, energetic, sassy and so much fun to have around! Oh and not to mention one of the HAPPIEST babies ever. Seriously!

We got to play with her a little bit this weekend while we were in Springville. Here are a couple pictures from the shoot! {It was just a quick one, but she was a shining star!}

Also, blogger makes images look not as good as the really are. I am trying to figure out how to change this-- because I have seen some photos on other blogs with better quality. I also which my images were bigger. Any advice?

Well here are the pictures of Lauren! Ah-- what a cutie.

BLUE blue eyes.

Love that squished up face.
probably my favorite from the bunch!
i loved her little ponytail in this one!
what a cute shirt from grandma natalie!
love her.
she was so excited about the cadbury eggs her mother was holding above her.
happy, happy.
the tongue! so cute.
another favorite.
The end!
