Lyla’s mermaid party
I can’t believe Lyla is 3 already! Seems like she was just born. This little girl has been such a fun crazy addition to our family, she has so much personality, I don’t know what we would do without her. She is obsessed with swimming and princesses so we decided to do a swimming mermaid party. There aren’t many options for swimming in March here in Utah so we decided to do it at the rec center so it isn’t the prettiest room but at least there is a great indoor pool the kids were able to do the birthday party first then go swimming after. Got most of my ideas through pinterest, I will try to post all the links possible for everything.
The layout for lyla’s invites and the circle cutouts for the party favors and dinner menu are from www.onecharmingparty.com
Had them printed with the scalloped edge from www.prodigitalphotos.com
lunch boxes, cups, gumbal favors and wands are from www.chasing-fireflies.com
cake and cake pops are from www.dippidee.com
Lyla’s headband aslo the party favor hair clips with the seashells and Lyla’s necklace and bracelet www.bannerboutiqueonline.com
mermaid cookies from www.etsy.com/shop/TSCookies
necklace party favors from www.etsy.com/shop/thesetinytreasures

valentines
Just wanted to update everyone. Most of you have heard we are taking a break from taking pictures for a bit starting July 1st. Currently wer are all booked until then. You are welcome to leave an email and put on a cancelation list if you would like. It has been such an honnor to work with so many of you and will miss seeing you and your sweet children. Right now I just have to focus on being a mom and taking care of these four kiddos. When Max is a little older I’ll be starting up again. Hope everyone understands. If you want to keep in touch you can always find me on instagram. My user name is peekaboophotos, I would love to hear from you.
xoxo

We had a great Christmas this year. I hope everyone did! I’m really going to miss these expressions when my kids are all grown up.
| Your girls have the best expressions ever! And your little guy is too darn cute! ( Feb 8th, 2013 9:45 pm)where you get that rug in that living room ,orange one? i just love it… ( Jan 23rd, 2013 9:16 pm)Ann- Haha, I think it was the 50mm 1.4. I don’t love my kitchen, it is dark cabinets If i had to do it again I would do white, I guess that is why I don’t have many pictures of it. ( Jan 21st, 2013 6:24 am)Thanks Armina! ( Jan 21st, 2013 6:22 am)Mary, I think I got the stockings at Sundance a long time ago, but I can’t really remember. Sorry. ( Jan 21st, 2013 6:19 am)Beautiful everything! Your kids are so cute.

( Jan 8th, 2013 7:06 pm)Priceless, precious photos! I love the reaction shots – I got too few of my own kids this year.

I love Lyla’s face opening up that present! Looks like you had a perfect Christmas with your little ones Happy New year:)!

( Jan 2nd, 2013 6:21 pm)Cute faces… I feel my heart hurting when I think how fast my kids are growing… |

our home


I had seen this idea years ago and finally had time to do it. Took pictures of the girls artwork and put it into a collage and then had it printed on a big canvas. The girls love it. Now it’s my new favorite piece of art. Had
www.prodigitalphotos.com printed it for me on a 2.5″ gallery wrap.
Canvases are from: www.cgproprints.com best prices ever!
Mya & Olivia’s room- Thanks www.customslipcoversbyshelley.blogspot.com/ for making these pillows and cushion for me!
I have been getting a ton of emails on where I got our American Girl house. We just bought this kid kraft dollhouse from costco a few years ago and took out a few walls and put new wallpaper up. (I just bought sample pieces) Dan replaced the 4 corner posts with different ones and spaced the flooring farther apart so it was a little taller.
| Who is the home builder that built your home? Love the outside! ( May 10th, 2013 1:13 am)hey gina, i got them on etsy. if you send me an email I will look up the vendor for you. ( Mar 12th, 2013 1:58 am)Katie, Your home is from my dreams. Love, love your style! Your kids rooms are amazing! I was wondering what the sizes of the canvases in your sons room are? I love how you lined them up. ( Mar 5th, 2013 5:08 pm)Pretty rooms!! Any chance you remember where you got the peace love + gymnastics /dance wall decals? ( Mar 4th, 2013 8:44 pm)Gorgeous pictures of a gorgeous home, so cool to SEE your home! My hubby finally had time to build a doll house (two years after seeing yours featured) this Christmas for our girls AG dolls. They LOVE it & it’s HUGE! I love what you’ve done with what I think might have been their playroom. The space is wonderful for the two to share, colors and brightness is wonderful. So sweet you posted where the window seat bench cushions were done. I have two window benches almost 80′ each in length that I”m still trying to determine what type of covering would work best. All the best and it’s too sweet to see the addition of your little man in the holiday pics! All the best ( Feb 11th, 2013 4:13 pm)The rug is from Anthropologie. ( Jan 21st, 2013 6:26 am)Sorry Stepanie, I’m not sure what color his room is, I’m sure we have the can somewhere out in the garage, but I’m to lazy to look for it. ( Jan 21st, 2013 6:25 am)I got the bookcase at a local flooring place called McCoys, I don’t even think they are in business anymore. Sorry:( The rug is from Anthropologe. ( Jan 21st, 2013 6:21 am)Kristin- I love to shot at west elm, anthropologie, restoration hardware and target:) ( Jan 21st, 2013 6:18 am)Thanks! I got the frames from Hobby Lobby and Maxwells curtain from landofnod and I got the girls letters from Joannes and just covered them in fabric. ( Jan 21st, 2013 6:18 am)Absolutely amazing… every detail… just amazing! would you mind sharing where you found the curtains in maxwell’s room and the girls names out of letters? Thanks so much! ( Jan 21st, 2013 2:30 am)Hi Katie! Your family is absoltely gourgeous! If you dont mind me asking, on your gallery wall near your kitchen, where did you get the wooden unfinished looking frames!

I LOVE your kids’ rooms though! Maxwell’s photo wall- perfection! And the girls’ playroom? Too cute! Beautiful home In love with your site and your home!! Can you recommend places to shop? ( Jan 12th, 2013 2:27 am)Your talent is out of this world! Literally- it really is! Thanks so much for sharing. I would love to know where you got the letters of the girls names in their room and Maxwell’s curtains… I have been a blog stalker for several years! What you do is AMAZING! I would love if you offered home consultations online…I could use your help! ( Jan 10th, 2013 3:43 pm)I guess my 7 year old daughter´s comment just summs it up: “Wow, why can´t we live in a house like that!” Your house is absolutely gorgeous and love the girls rooms! ( Jan 10th, 2013 10:08 am)Katie everything you do is magic! I don’t know how you manage to find the time with four kids! The girls room is amazing!

( Dec 20th, 2012 5:34 pm)Deidra- You are so funny! I don’t know what style it is. I would probably re-do my whole house to a more modern style if I could start my home over again. But right now it is more ecliptic I got most of my furniture from either west elm, anthropologie or evens gate house in Orem. I’m sure you could hire a real decorator but thanks for making me feel good:) ( Dec 20th, 2012 5:32 pm)Beautiful!!! Where do you get all your greenery?

Oliva is 9!
She is obsessed with American girl dolls. She wanted McKenna’s bed this year instead of a party. Way easier on me and probably saved me money in the long run. Still had to get her a birthday cake! Dippidee always does such a great job. 
| Soo cute! I’m in love with that backdrop. Would you share where you bought it? Thanks! ( Mar 24th, 2013 5:38 pm)i love that. She is the cutest!! Love the cake, backdrop and fun fingernails:)!!!

Our 6 and 3 yr old girls are also into their AMG dolls. The papers in the back ground go so nicely with her pics! ( Oct 26th, 2012 2:38 am) |
