Dash's Busy busy morning

Wake up (takes him about 15-20 minutes of
stretching, grunting, yawning, stretching, blinking,
grunting, yawning, etc etc.)

Patiently waiting for mom to feed him, while she
takes more pictures cause he's so cute laying there!

Bathtime, as you can see by his worried face, he's
still trying to decide if he likes it or not.
Yes, he's in the sink. He's to tiny for his baby bath tub.

Spa treatment. A body lotion.

Trying to fall back to sleep during his daily dose of MiMi. MiMi= Grandma Calleen.



                                                       Daily photoshoot with mommy.


                             Nap time while we wait for Daddio Dane Dizzle to get home and play.

Now off to set up for Bijou Market TOMORROW!! Come if you want to meet the cutest little bugger on the block.

Bijou. Winter Style.

It's back and better than ever. This Saturday. Details below. READ THE DETAILS, don't show up at my house like last time (and the time before, and NEXT time), or you will find nothing but Jerry offering you a Peanut Butter and Jelly and Grapefruit.



Check out the outstanding vendor lineup here. Really, this is not one to miss. We picked and chose from hundreds of app's. These 40 are the tip of the top and will knock your socks off!

Another goodbye dear Morgan

In mourning of another goodbye to our incredibly inspiring and ambitious Morgan who is leaving us again for a major job in her city NY with Harvey Faircloth (google it, you'll LOVE), and in celebration of Kelsey's big 22nd, we spent the evening at Trio with the best of buddies.








To Morgan we say good luck, we'll miss you like I missed Dash the night of Trio. And like usual, you will ROCK MANHATTANS WORLD!
To Kelsey Happy 22. Our Kelsava is so grown up. Boyfriend and all. Peace, Love and Jack Gerard. To all THS alumni, I re-state the JACK (not Jake) in that Gerard.

It's interesting how at so many different times in life I have thought the same thing. "THIS is it! It doesn't get better than THIS!" 
Age 2, feeding the ducks with my dad, I clearly remember thinking, I have the best daddy, I am the happiest little girl alive! (well okay, maybe I don't remember that completely clearly, but im sure I was thinking that as for what is portrayed in the photographs). 
Age's 4, 5, 8 and 10 on Disney Land trips in reward for stopping the thumb sucking habbit. Life couldn't possibly get better, I'd weaseled my way to Disneyland yet again! 
Age's 13-17 Road-trips with highschool friends, getting a drivers license, the ability to date, belting our voices to The Ataris. We were on the top of the world. Nothing could be better than highschool I thought.
Days out with my mom and sister. Worry free, with my two best friends, life was perfect!
Age 23, my wedding day, this topped them all and I REALLY thought that was it, I couldnt be happier, nothing could ever top the joy I felt that day. 
Until last fall...at the J Crew Sample sale.. Kidding. Well, kind of, that REALLY WAS one of the best days of my life. 
BUT NOW, this tiny little boy who came into our lives and is the biggest cherry on top of any dessert. We woke up an hour ago, still laying in bed staring at his little face, no plans on getting up, or going anywhere, I think we will just wait here till daddy gets home.
 THIS is the happiest i've ever been. Thanks to this tiny little angel.





Dash's blessing. The after party

Our amazing Dash was blessed on Sunday, I don't assume my blog is popular enough to need to go into an explanation of what "blessed" means. The day was perfect, from the weather to the food. Ive never known a more popular little boy. We prepped food for his after party for about 75..needless to say the food was gone, and some sadly went hungry. Go Dash! You little Rockstar. Despite the slight fear that Dane AND Dash seem to be portraying in the picture above,  we are obsessed with being a family and have it down to an art!


These stellar little loafers mark the beginning of a Dash Christensen tradition. Mark my words. At ever major event of this kiddos life, he will sport killer kicks. Id say he started it off with a bang! If only you could run your fingers across these zebra print babies, you'd see. Real zebra skin? Perhaps.

Happy Hallows!

Lindsay "Martha" Ross threw an all Hollows Bash for close friends and fam at her amazing new home. Pictured below, in case the costumes are too deceiving, Nicole, Dash, and Dane. Dash as a sock monkey. Nicole, and Dane...um, you make the call. Dane is wearing my grandmothers polyester suit from 1970 if that helps. Emily called us swingers, we'll stick with that.

Pouty Dash

Sometimes Dash makes this face to get what he wants from his daddy. It works.

And shows mommy these eyes when he wants something more. It works too.

Beautiful Baby Dash


Dash Stephen Christensen arrived September 16. It was the most beautiful fall afternoon, perfect for the delivery of an angelic baby boy.

Our apologies for the delay in posting photos of this little angel. Boy how priorities change when all you want to do is gaze at this tiny little face, touch his tiny little feet, hold his tiny little hand, tend to every peep and meet every need. Being a mommy is more incredibly fulfilling and wonderful than anyone has ever described. Dash is such a ray of sunshine! Dane is the most amazing Daddy. Life is BEAUTIFUL!

The delivery was a lovely little breeze. With the help and support of my wonderful husband, my mom, and mother in law, the whole experience was smooth and peaceful. My mom didnt miss a minute, my mother in law who is a nurse at Utah Valley hospital made sure my every need was met and sweet Dane never left my side.

I love these people who made the birth of Dash so absolutely perfect! Thank You!!!

We Love being PREGNANT

33 weeks and LOVING.
I feel like the luckiest girl alive! And Dane, he feels like the luckiest man!
This baby hiding in my tummy has been, and continues to be, a complete breeze!
He charms us with a few hard kicks each morning, afternoon, and night. His hiccups make me giggle so hard. He tries to give Daddy fist bumps through my skin when he buys him a tiny new pair of shoes. He hasnt made me sick a bit, not even a drop of sick. I could be pregnant forever!
Other than us DYING to meet him, and me sorta wanting my regular life body back, he is welcome to stay in my tummy forever...at least until mid September. But with Dane whispering into my belly every night "Come out now buddy", he might come sooner than we expect! Dane is anxious for his new little pal.



My feet are for real disappearing! Which is a good thing cause all my shoes are feeling too tight for comfort. As long as i cant see them, i wont worry about what im wearing on them. Flip flops will do just fine until he arrives just in time for boot season.

Pregnancy = Wonderful!

P.S. Please no hate mail. I know it isnt this blissful for everyone.

Salt Flats Photoshoot

Today we took an adventure to the Bonneville Salt Flats...in Wendover? Who knew they were some 3 hours away? It was well worth the drive. Here, a travel log.




When we finally arrived at the so called Salt Flats (50-60% covered in water in month of April, fyi) we couldnt believe we had made it. Were these REALLY, FINALLY the Salt Flats? So, we made sure, the only way we knew how. Sure enough, it tasted SAAALTY! We were there.



Bayley, the assistant, looking pretty until we were ready to put her to work.



Dane, the muscles, driving our equipment and props from location to location.



Bayley, the assistant, at work.



Matt, at the end of a long shoot, hittin the road.
The shoot was so successful. You best be clicking here to review the results ..

Tuesday, April 14, 2009

Oh Boy! Look closely.



(Pay special attention to that little white arrow...yup!)

Hands kicked back behind his head, just chillin like his cool cat daddy. Dane and I are so stoked about this news of a BABY BOY! He had the hiccups, we watched, ultrasounds are incredible! Calleen was snapping photos, I couldnt stop smiling, Dane was giddy, we are the happiest little birds on the block!

Why we LOVE April Showers.

We shot a rainy day wedding on Thursday. It turned out amazingly, look at how GREEN and VIBRANT the colors were on Temple Square! I just love April showers. Why?




Because April showers bring May Flowers.
May flowers bring June SUNSHINE, Danes b-day and our 1 year wedding Aniversary!
June sunshine brings July fireworks!
July fireworks bring August baby shopping and nursery painting..
August brings SEPTEMBER...
September brings stork with baby!

What is not to love about April Showers!!?

This. In Black.

I found one similar in blue, bought it, of course. But, i think i need it in black. This fall, you can find me, Daney, baby and pram strolling through our little neighborhood. Just like this.



P.S. We're on week 15. The baby is an apple. We have some darling images of Daddy Dane with baby apple. I'll post them later.

Week 12: A sunny little lime

A citrus fruit, so appropriate for the lovely weather we have been having! This week our baby is the size of a pretty little lime.
Yes, we accidently skipped week 11 (in hopes that time would go faster)

On Friday we heard the limes heart beat inside me! It was beating so quickly and sounded so healthy and happy! I think he/she is just skipping and jumping around inside of me, just as anxious to get to us as we are to have it!

Monday, March 9, 2009

Spring is in my air (and hair!)



Emily and myself have been planning this fab little party just for you and that itch you have been having for Spring. We figured this snowy day (yuck) was a PERFECT time to break the news! All our favorite vendors have been invited to sell their goodies with us. (more vendors have been invited, so there will be more than listed) Come come! It will be well worth your time. See you there!

Friday, March 6, 2009

RIP Slug Bug

If you know me, you know my sister Camy. And if you know my sister Camy, you know about her famous little lime green car. Well, we have some bad news, her car may have caught on fire! She is so sad. Click here to get the full effect. Its a tear jerker. Sorry Cam!

Little Baby Kumquat!

This week (week 10) our baby is the size of a pretty little citrus fruit called a Kumquat! I've never seen or tasted a Kumquat. We are going to the Sunflower Farmers Market right now to see if they will sell me one. Come on Dane, lets go! I love Kumquats!

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

Melt my cold cold heart..



Its only February, but it sure felt like spring today! You know that yummy/sickening "outdoorsy" smell you would get when you were little, after playing outside all day? We got that after this bike/skate ride. The SUN broke through that cloud cover and started to warm my cold wintery heart! No coats, jackets or sweaters, to me, this means one thing...SPRING IS ON HER WAY! The baby was even jumping for joy.






When your husband is this fly, you cant stop taking photos of him.

Week 9: A Grape!

Does it seem to you like this baby is getting smaller? This week Blueberry is the size of a grape! (about one inch)
If Blueberry is a girl, she's the purple grape. If Blueberry is a boy, he's the green grape.

Tuesday, February 17, 2009

More thrilling news! Isn't life just full of it?

These two little cuties are engaged to be wed this June. Which also means another successful set up by me.



We love you both, so excited for the fabulous wedding, and cant wait for you to be just as happily wed as we!!

Thursday, February 12, 2009

Week 8



This week little Blueberry has grown to the size of a Raspberry! (at this rate, this baby is never coming!)
Although, we've come accustomed to calling him/her Blueberry....so we'll stick to that.

Monday, February 9, 2009

Blueberry!

This week (week 7) our baby is the size of a blueberry. So, this week, our baby goes by Blueberry when we tell him/her about our day, sing him/her lullabies at night, or when we introduce him/her to our friends. We love our little tiny Blueberry!

Sunday, February 8, 2009

Button Eyes

We are real excited about the movie Coraline, so, we buttoned our eyes. This is for Heather. She really does have button eyes. Look, here is proof.


Thursday, January 29, 2009

Thanks Nat Nat!








Here are a few more image from NATALIE at the Oceanside Pier. We love her!! Im always the one behind the camera (no complaints), but what can i say...its awfully fun being in front of it!

Tuesday, January 27, 2009

Hi Everyone! We're back from our vacay to sort of sunny Oceanside. Here is our travel-log.








Chels returned home from her mission and is as amazing as ever!



Dane boogie boarded in the FAREEEZING water for hours.









This is was our beach bungalo for the week. The ocean was so loud, i could hardly sleep.



Spotted, Ash Mae flying a kite on the beach at sunset. Of course.



Sage is still beautiful.




We spent most of our time with family. This is the Norton/Christensen family. All together for the first time since....well, i was added!



This image of Bay was an accident that ended perfectly.



Along with Chelseas homecoming, we were lucky enough to be there for the blessing of Ruby (yawning). Cole (the baby boy) and Ruby are the two newbies of the fam.



It SO rocks to have photographer Natalie Norton as a cousin. She took some great pictures of Dane and I at the pier. Dane got a treat cause he was good. Treat pictured above. Ya, it was a pretty good treat.



This is the only image i can get my hands on, but, im sure i will be posting more as soon as she allows.

A love story

Once upon a time, about a year and a half ago, my bestie Chels left on a mission, only to get replaced as my bestie by her very own cousin, Dane...who i decided i wanted to be my best friend for ever, so i married him. But, Chels still comes in second and is on her way home from her mission!! We are all so excited. Watch out Provo, THE most eligible bachelorette is almost here.



We have a long waiting list of dates she already has scheduled, but if you have some patience, and would like to be added to this list, call me. I assure you, she is amazing.

Wednesday, January 7, 2009

Snowed in?

Sure, im snowed in. Dane has the fabulous snow car and is at work till noon. The Scion is staying at my moms house for the week buried in a large pile of snow. But, i have feet, and way too many great boots to keep me from taking a walk in this little winter wonderland in which we live!



Have you looked out your windows and seen these mountains?









I LOVE the snow. I love the way it looks, i love pouring cool aid on it and eating it, i love all snowy activities and i love dressing for the snowy occasion!

Christensen Family Photograph

photograph by heather mildenstein photography


Here is the first official Christensen Family Photograph (with me included). This picture makes me so happy, and i am going to tell you why. I could not have asked for a better family to join! In order of age..

Bayley: A fourteen year old version of myself (only taller and much funnier) we like all the same movies, clothes, and activities, and we think the same 100% of the time.

Sage: Funniest/prettiest girl that ever lived. She's the hair designer. Always keeps us up to date. I envy her eyes, height and lips! Her constant humor and enthusiasm never gets old!

Dane Baby: My perfect little husband. I melt when i see his face. Every single time. He takes care of me, and is always there. I somehow found the boy version of myself, with out even knowing. I can't even try and find something about his boy that bothers me.

Ash Mae: This women is a walking work of art. I require a weekly dose of her presence for artistic inspiration. Why we weren't friends before i joined her family, i will never know!

Mae: Go to the dictionary and look up "The PERFECT mother in law". Her name is what you will find. Sweet, humble, welcoming, caring, peaceful, and a whole lot of fun!

Kent: Oh Kenteth, everything i never knew a father in law could be! He is like an angle sent from my daddy, because he is SO much like him! Funnier than the whole hilarious family combined! Kindest most honest man anyone knows!

And then there is a MAJOR cherry on top of this bunch (no, not the dogs) The extended family is just as wonderful! I have so many wonderful friends that are now my relative (shout out to Chelsea, Linds, Heather, Matt and all other cousins, aunts uncles and babies!)

Due Day..

Cole didn't come today (yet) it's only 10:35 p.m, he's got a while before he's tardy and spends his first day of life in truancy school. 29 is probably too low of a temp for him, he might as well stay cozy in Heather's womb as long as he can. But, if we have anything to do with it, he's coming. TODAY. Whether he likes it or not. So, to make it happen, we put his very due mommy on the four wheeler and sent her through the bumpiest part of the yard. Okay, so he wasn't born aback the motorcycle, but it was worth a shot. Cole, you still have an hour and twenty minutes left to make it on time. Don't disappoint us.









Matt, the very proud father to be.




GLAMOROUS!



While were at it, lets do some roof-raisin for Hot Chocolate season. Bay and i stood on the side-lines and took full advantage of the weather, and burned a couple little taste buds.

Sunday night at Temple Square

The family took a trip to see the sparkles! No, not Danes eyes, the lights of Temple Square (uhh, bad joke, sorry) It was perfect! Perfect company, perfect ambiance, and perfect weather! (40 degrees in December, lovely)
Amazing photos courtecy of Heather Mildenstein Photography (pictured below with husband Matt. Her baby is due in a week!)

Happy Birthday to Kent

This is Kent. He is Dane's dad and my father in law. And lets just be honest, he's cooler than any one else's father in law will ever be.

The Love Boat

A royal escape with the whole fam-bam. Some Carmans, Jones', Littles and Christensens...all together, one ship, one heck of a time. It was pretty heavenly floating atop the Pacific with my little sugar pie for seven whole days. It's so cool being married, sharing a hotel room with a boy....wonderful! Highly recommended. I love my family, Jerry rocks our world, and check out Calleen in the Neff headband. When she grows up, she wants to be Dane. The cherry on top of it all, STERLING was with us!




















Friday, October 24, 2008

He's back.

Yup, my amazing little brother is back. FINALLY. He is normal, and wonderful, and the same sweet boy he was when he left. Except, he's even a little better! His tags are off, you know what that means. Girls...

Update on these two love birdies

I know, Camy is a tough one to get in touch with, so a lot of you are asking ME how she is doing. We spent the day with them Thursday, and i can tell you this, they are INSANELY HAPPY. Can't you just see it?


Oh, and they had a baby. Meet Maximus.

Revolution Rail Jam

Last night Dane rode the Revolution Rail Jam. He killed it. Rev awarded me a Press Pass, and appointed me official Jam Photographer. I stood at the base of the rails/boxes, dodging the riders, and got some super SWEEEEET shots, and had some sick spots...





Monday, October 13, 2008

Oliver

Oliver came to visit us at our house today! It was a delight having him there. He is happy and calm and beautiful!
Lindsay is an incredible mother, naturally. And Rob, surprisingly, is a fantastic dad! He is so sweet with Oliver. Together, they will make some perfect parents. Dane and Lindsay (cousins) are only a few weeks a part in age, and have been good buddies their whole life. He loves seeing Lindsay interacting with her baby. I think he thinks its his turn now. Hmmmmm, ya, not yet.



See more photos of Ollie HERE or HERE

Hard Knock Life

A long drive + a camera + fall weather + dane = A hard knock life.... Or anything but!
What is it about the fall? Nothing nothing beats it! It's peacfull, the air smells wonderful. The world is more colorful. And i FINALLY get to wear those shoes, those tights, those jackets and those "warmth" accessories that i've been dying to wear, for about 6 months now. Go south birds. Welcome fall! Stay as long as you'd like!

More wedding photographs

So I know some of you are real sick of seeing all these photos from Dane and I's wedding, but as I receive more and more from our photographers, i just have to keep posting.  These memories are priceless.  So, love them or hate them, but either way, you are looking at them.







































My mom. Isnt she just GORGEOUS! My dad was the most handsome man, but come on, why couldn't I look more like her?












Words just don't do it. This fly guy is too good to be true. Seriously.

































































































As the night winded down, and we prepared to leave for our
h o n e y m o o n my friends offered me some great words of advise. They were greatly appreciated. By both parties. Thanks Cort, Jen and Kels.......now....your turn!

Happy Birthday to Brak

This is my brother. On the left. My husband on the right. I love both of them. But, today is Brak's birthday, so he's the focus. He's older than me, cooler then me, nicer than me, funnier than me, and all around just wonderful! He'll do anything for you, anytime! My whole life, he's been who the rest of the family has looked up, and we have all turned out pretty great because of his perfect example. He's was the priesthood in our home when needed, and the one who fixed all cars, washing machines, lawn mowers etc...Thanks to him, we've made it through life basically. Thanks Brak! Happy Birthday. I love you!

And, he's back in the game

My little brother Sterling is on his way home. Finally. Two new brother in laws, and 3 nephews later, he's rollin back into town after a two year mission in Mississippi. He's spiritual, he's smokin hot, and he's SINGLE.

Monday, September 29, 2008

Little Baby Ollie

The newest member of the family. Linds and Rob brought us OLIVER! He is PERFECT.
When we went to meet him, we were just awe stricken at how beautiful he was.
Oh, and at how long his feet and arms are. INCREDIBLY LONG. But, with Linds and Rob as parents,
I guess that is to be expected. Another amazing fact, his wardrobe is bigger than mine...literally.

Skirts

Thanks to Heather Mildenstein, we have some beautiful photographs from the last Sassafras party. It was fun and successful!! THANK YOU to everyone who joined us. Another Sassafras event is just around the corner. The date...TBA.

Alex and Annie Grow

Two of my favorites on all of the earth! Annie and Al got married today, in the Salt Lake Temple.  It was a perfect day! Absolutely perfect!  They are radiantly happy and everyone around them is just thrilled!   When Annie graduated her senior year of high school, Malcolm, her brother, gave Alex a gift.  Alex had had his eye on Annie since the Meridian playground.  Malcy decided to help the guy out, and handed him a gift card. "One date with my sister".
Apparently Alex took that gift card and ran with it, cause two years later, the deal was sealed!

Monday, September 22, 2008

Ain't life sweet?

Every day when Dane and I get home from work/school/wherever we have been, we walk into our home, together, and realize how perfect life is. Yes, we re-realize this everyday! I am constantly in awe. The simplicity and happiness that has settled in on my life is indescribable. He is my number one source of happiness! (psh, look at him, how couldnt he be)



And along with all the other blessings I have (My Mom, Jerry, Kent, Mae, Camy, Jimmy, Bay, Sage, Ash, Sterling, Amber, Wyatt, Cru, Denise, Brak, McKay, Renik, Deacon, Lynnley, Steve and their boys, all family, all cousins, aunts uncles and friends) I will stop their for now. But the list is endless! This is pure joy!!! I hope everyone feels the way I do, or can someday!

Thank you Dane! Mmmmmm! I love you!

A Bay Bay

This is Bayley mid-game....i swear! I know, how can you look like this after running/sweating/grunting/and falling in mud for hours? Its a question we're still contemplating ourselves.  First thing in the morning, hopping out of the pool, floating in Utah lake after a wake board spill.  In any situation where the rest of us would look like we had been hit by a truck, Bay looks just FAB!
Everybody is wondering, so unbeknownst to her, I'm revealing some of her beauty secrets.

1-Zero Zip absolutely NO makeup. Imagine that!
2-She eats spicy food to keep her buxom lips.
3-Tapes her mouth in an upward position, hens the continuous smile.
4-Feasts on anything she wants. Never avoids doughnuts, ice cream or cookies. Thats how she keeps that babolicious BOD.
5-Stays up until late hours of the night doing "homework"... aka texting boys.

Someday Bayley, someday we will all be as pretty as you!
Love you!

New Poppy

Clementine ( and that is my final answer )



The Christensen family has a new little sister. For about 2 weeks now her name has changed....about 15 times. ( Darla, Elva, Ruby, Daisy, Dipsy, Whipsy etc..) A final decision has been made, but, unfortunately, i dont support. I know right, i am too picky about animal titles. Im sure she will learn to respond to 2 different names. ( sorry Bay and Sage )

Happy Fourth

How convenient that Dane and I have the same fave holiday, He loves fire works (lighting them) and i love fireworks (watching them). Romantic holiday to start off our new marriage!


We took a bike ride through the parade route. Doesnt last long, they kick you right off.

Home!!


Here it is! Our home!
Okay, so, we didnt end up in a white house with a picket fence, yet. But for now, this Cape Cod style (to go along with the wedding theme) townhouse will suit just fine! Its like PLEASANTVILLE here!


See what i mean?



Everything down to the stop sign is coordinated. Its DARLING and charming! We love it. I cant tell if this is real life, or if we are just playing house.

The Engagement Photograph

Thanks to our very own Shelly Norton, we got our perfect engagement shot!
She took us out on the most PERFECT evening San Diego has ever seen. She had us walking around Seaport Village like movie stars, snapping hundreds of photos! And there she got it. The one!
Well, it wasnt that easy. She took so many we loved, we almost sent our invitations out late trying to decide which one we wanted to choose.
Well, here it is.



I love this one as well...

Bing Bong Boom You're Hired



With a big THANK YOU to Lindsay Angus Ross, i give you DANE MICHAEL CHRISTENSEN.

A few minor details. . .

Both Thunderbirds. Never new. Where was this cool cat hiding?
His cousin, Chelsea Norton, one of my best friends, never mentioned his name.
As he prepared to finish his mission in Connecticut, Lindsay steps in.
Tells me i should go out with him, maybe "break him in" a little.
Not so into that.
She then tells him, at his homecoming, he should take me out.
He was into it.
He picked me up from East Center Street.
I hopped in his car.
Fell right into those blue eyes and that INCREDIBLE smile.
And that was the end of it.
