Barek's little Haven on Earth

Jess and I had a lot of fun taking pictures of our little ones- Barek and Haven

(who is absolutely gorgeous just like her mom).

I have thought a bit about their first date-

15 years & 4 months from now.

Haunting Halloween

Petite Peterson Pleasures

Barek's first graham cracker.

And there was a bubble bath right after...

Just for the friends that have been asking- or "missing my outfits."

Yes I made these. And Yes this is my sweet little prince modeling them... times are tough.

Barek Crawling Backwards....

Salt Lake Temple...

Attending weddings always fills me with nostalgia and memories. Sitting in the temple again holding the hand of my own prince charming... almost 7 years later and understanding love in a deeper sense. I look forward to what the future holds for our little family of three and feel so thankful to be married to this man for time and all eternity. This is the buiding in which Kev and I were married, gorgeous is just the start.

Shirsti's Wedding

Apple Hill

Juicy is As Juicy Does...

I love this time of year. Cuddling under blankets, sky high boots, pumpkin candles, glittering decorations and layering beautiful things on beautiful things. Festive is a great accessory.

The perfect satin bow, a dangling charm and shiny gold bottle is the perfect prelude to the scent inside. Oh how i love Juicy... this is my scent for fall.

Christensen Family Pictures

We had a wonderful time during our Utah visit home. Family makes everything more dramatic, loud and magical. I love you each so very much.

Make you blush

I am so in love with this- Posie by benefit. It is like their original benetint but softer. For a soft flush apply to apples of cheeks and then don't forget to Posie your pout and then gloss it up girl. Absolutely a brilliant buy- of course i feel most my buys are.

But it has kissing clasps...

Do i really need a number 30'ish Coach bag? Probably not, but then again need was never the driving force. The desire comes from imagining myself pulling out a lip gloss, organizing my adorable matching accessories in their new nest or this bag with those heels, boots or nothing at all. Oh, how i do love to celebrate being a woman!

Sunday Hoopla...

28 weeks old and squealing like a little girl- I assure Kev he will get a man voice one day.

Barek loves his legs tickled, his toes in his mouth, papa time (manly time) and sneezing.

Six Months of Bear Lovin...

Mister Barek Gabriel has graced us with his presence for six months now. He enjoys kicking wildly during bath time, looking at his handsome self in the mirror, eating perfectly warmed cereal and getting smother loved by me (until he can say different he loves it) and gently loved by Kev. His bed time is 8:00 and he nestles right in and loves to sleep on his belly. Kev and I get really excited to wake him up because he is just so sweet and smiles lazily at us. He wakes up around 10:00 and you all know I have been in a bad habit of sleep endulging. Barek is crazy about Kevin and starts kicking when he sees him. I am so happy to have this little boy to take care of and over love. I dreamed my whole life of what my children would be like. It is a wonderful relief to have him in my arms and full of excitement for all his new discoveries. We love you Bear. Happy Half Birthday.

Letting Go of the Love Machine...

The new family machine... A volvo because it is both cute and safe (oh and fully loaded).

With over 200,000 miles on her the 1995 Acura has been a good car. This is the car Kev picked me up in for our first date, drove me to my 7:30 classes and kept us up to speed in Dental school. So the leather seats are a bit worn and it has been in two fender benders (one of which was a hit a run and i ran after the other driver yelling "jerk!", i showed him) but alas, it still out performed my new Jetta at the time. Goodbye old girl.

The Man Trip...Mergs and KP

I was really happy to have my men back safe and sound. Kev saw a bear and was a bit excited but Mergs burst his bubble by saying lets get it to run. Mountain Man Mergs. Nothing like some male bonding in the great outdoors- and over lots of red meat. Glad you are in our Family Mergsie...

The Sister Visit...

Of course there was gifts and celebrations...

A risky diapering job by Koseli

Wedding talk and secrets...

A who baby with lots of breathy giggles...

Lake Tahoe....

And sweet treats and lots of food. Thank you so much for the wonderful visit. I love you both so much and am so thankful to have you as sisters. I just hope the next time we can have our long legged sister Joslynn come-
