We decided on an auto themed room (since Chris kinda likes cars :} )</div><div style="text-align: center;">I found most of the wall decor online, hobby lobby or good will. The crib and dresser are the same ones the girls had in their nurseries but I decided to refinish them to make them look more 'boyish', SUCCESS! I painted them in colonial blue and finished them with an antique glaze (MY NEW OBESSION, its so easy to use and I love the finished product!) Then Haley and I were out thrift store shoping and came across the coolest find at Salvation Army! It is an old Steamer trunk (early 1900's) we are using at as a book shelf in the room! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">the full room view</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0-AJvDxCS5Kf8Znv12aEkBMYLtzcpfnnPjO9O5xwMub-ctc3s7tzwfUs8KrkvNGC56zhuNQp3je3zE431vKvJDkc48hfCQgshwvS9OJpHNgbAa3bT8j_F2ioDZmUilKnQdmvJw/s1600/7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 293px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0-AJvDxCS5Kf8Znv12aEkBMYLtzcpfnnPjO9O5xwMub-ctc3s7tzwfUs8KrkvNGC56zhuNQp3je3zE431vKvJDkc48hfCQgshwvS9OJpHNgbAa3bT8j_F2ioDZmUilKnQdmvJw/s400/7.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576211531799907378" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">here is our special find! can you believe we found it at salvation army?!?

YAY so proud of her!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggCWCIO7DAKVqZ2cBiHYJAHeW2rgymf4begYqNXvlDhY_SpaoeQO_HQBjVYxF9b2cM8vkqfIRzs8JQq-i2XLy-jrGhPdDdd7gPUknZRgVQ7oB00yr-82RHIlrqdqipDtGRyHPA9A/s400/sky+ski+3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568479751067103602" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 294px; height: 400px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE3APlUIanod1hixj_EUgS8imEItvkYycIEU4Ys-4G5yoveqM1p_MxEopDWg9xdFwjr05fgvtQkLVDPMzKFzrmsxGJlrCirHAI06aA_3Gnfu94rCHnWNDuMNH0P8ZnOoJ4oZ0RnQ/s1600/sky+ski+2.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE3APlUIanod1hixj_EUgS8imEItvkYycIEU4Ys-4G5yoveqM1p_MxEopDWg9xdFwjr05fgvtQkLVDPMzKFzrmsxGJlrCirHAI06aA_3Gnfu94rCHnWNDuMNH0P8ZnOoJ4oZ0RnQ/s400/sky+ski+2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568479757989131426" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 260px; " /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggCWCIO7DAKVqZ2cBiHYJAHeW2rgymf4begYqNXvlDhY_SpaoeQO_HQBjVYxF9b2cM8vkqfIRzs8JQq-i2XLy-jrGhPdDdd7gPUknZRgVQ7oB00yr-82RHIlrqdqipDtGRyHPA9A/s1600/sky+ski+3.jpg"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggCWCIO7DAKVqZ2cBiHYJAHeW2rgymf4begYqNXvlDhY_SpaoeQO_HQBjVYxF9b2cM8vkqfIRzs8JQq-i2XLy-jrGhPdDdd7gPUknZRgVQ7oB00yr-82RHIlrqdqipDtGRyHPA9A/s1600/sky+ski+3.jpg"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggCWCIO7DAKVqZ2cBiHYJAHeW2rgymf4begYqNXvlDhY_SpaoeQO_HQBjVYxF9b2cM8vkqfIRzs8JQq-i2XLy-jrGhPdDdd7gPUknZRgVQ7oB00yr-82RHIlrqdqipDtGRyHPA9A/s1600/sky+ski+3.jpg"></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf79AIp8hsnPtCemEp80m1DXVJGfMYbUqc347lew8EkLX3LjPfEMTsFma_zc5kqrR8aYsea5aNx_Y6_5fmKHvU31epDVb7_9KBWu9-XaU5YSYMAjtYBHDc95wZbidwM1b8P_viyg/s400/sky+ski+5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568479764966766674" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>The Hansen'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412134020350786250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36264679.post-7112992907588506642010-11-08T07:56:00.001-05:002010-11-08T07:59:57.101-05:00makes me laugh<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhDexmVNdNNnIJNFxk4mH-e98yOMMqJyI4axb7vDiFJVX0QeVrNRSTsM_6MS8hFbscXba1AcOmzlgUkJT9dIiljJUyZ9G547OvobeN4wZay9jFM9fqPa9n_irxp7ZGB3aBUUAzCg/s1600/out+take.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhDexmVNdNNnIJNFxk4mH-e98yOMMqJyI4axb7vDiFJVX0QeVrNRSTsM_6MS8hFbscXba1AcOmzlgUkJT9dIiljJUyZ9G547OvobeN4wZay9jFM9fqPa9n_irxp7ZGB3aBUUAzCg/s400/out+take.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537162625288430610" /></a>The Hansen'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412134020350786250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36264679.post-36286297524844896832010-10-17T19:48:00.002-05:002010-10-17T20:18:59.140-05:00fall is here...<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUtwlH_oeJuX4z9h2LDWoQrce3YiaQr6I6kLz-p77kcg7Cr0HUhSKdUxiR9sObAqiTUhwUOkrbBbUlYXzK-Q_1xoUQ4vwo3FFkwXS006psZCO01l2vBZxe-gBDJby76oPStzDjtQ/s1600/fb2.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUtwlH_oeJuX4z9h2LDWoQrce3YiaQr6I6kLz-p77kcg7Cr0HUhSKdUxiR9sObAqiTUhwUOkrbBbUlYXzK-Q_1xoUQ4vwo3FFkwXS006psZCO01l2vBZxe-gBDJby76oPStzDjtQ/s400/fb2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529181652696545666" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 279px; " /></a><div></div></div><div>I know we (ok, I) have been doing a terrible job on keeping this updated! To be honest it gets the least attention because of well....life, work, facebook and my photography <a href="http://ashleyhansenphotography.blogspot.com">blog</a>. But life is good. I am so happy that fall is in full swing, it is definitely one of my favorite seasons. The cool temps, beautiful colors, and of course all the fun fall activities :: apple picking, football games, pumpkin patches, baking (for some reason this is the time of the year I usually start up again!)......we have been having a blast! </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> Lots has been happening: here is a brief update::</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">We are adding to the family! Yup, thats right....a third and final hansen cutie will be here in early March 2011. And we are excited that the newest addition is a little BOY!! No names yet, well at least Chris and I have not agreed on any :) Skylar however has decided that she will be naming her baby brother CINCO DE MAYO....good one right?!?! Its so funny, from the time we told her we were expecting she was determined it was a boy and she would name him Cinco. In fact when we would discuss the possibility of another sister her response was very serious: </div><div style="text-align: center;">"God knows I already have a sister, and he knows I don't need another!" </div><div style="text-align: center;">She is a character, always bringing smiles to our faces!</div><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div style="text-align: center;">Skylar has started school. She is attending the local Christian school and LOVES it. She is making tons of new friends and getting a great foundation. Chris and I were so happy to be able to have her attend there! She just wishes she could go every day! She is turning into such a little lady! She amazes me everyday with her smarts.</div><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ari is doing her best to keep up with her big sister! She is a sweet mama's girl with an attitude bigger than most adults (Chris jokes she gets it from Haley, Haley however doesn't find it that funny). She really looks up to her big sis and enjoys any and all attention Sky gives her! She is such a wonderful little girl with serious determination.</div><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div style="text-align: center;">Chris is enjoying his new (well 4mos new) job at Prestige Imports as a service writer. It is keeping him busy. In addition to that he is still finding a little time to buy/sell cars at the auctions. He is very much looking forward to the upcoming ski season....he is going to have his hands full though, he is going to have to work with both girls on the hill this year since I won't be able to ski this season!</div><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have been staying more than busy being home with the girls and continuing to grow my photography business. I was blest this year with a busy schedule and AMAZING clients. My wedding season is coming to a close but I am staying busy through the fall with family sessions. And I am almost booked for next summer, it is truly amazing to see your passion and dreams become reality! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">hope everyone is enjoying their fall season....and only <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">68 days</span> till <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); ">C</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); ">h</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">r</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#006600;">i</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">s</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">m</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#006600;">a</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">s</span>!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">much love,</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">ash</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUtwlH_oeJuX4z9h2LDWoQrce3YiaQr6I6kLz-p77kcg7Cr0HUhSKdUxiR9sObAqiTUhwUOkrbBbUlYXzK-Q_1xoUQ4vwo3FFkwXS006psZCO01l2vBZxe-gBDJby76oPStzDjtQ/s1600/fb2.jpg"></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><br /></u></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUtwlH_oeJuX4z9h2LDWoQrce3YiaQr6I6kLz-p77kcg7Cr0HUhSKdUxiR9sObAqiTUhwUOkrbBbUlYXzK-Q_1xoUQ4vwo3FFkwXS006psZCO01l2vBZxe-gBDJby76oPStzDjtQ/s1600/fb2.jpg"></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><br /></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUtwlH_oeJuX4z9h2LDWoQrce3YiaQr6I6kLz-p77kcg7Cr0HUhSKdUxiR9sObAqiTUhwUOkrbBbUlYXzK-Q_1xoUQ4vwo3FFkwXS006psZCO01l2vBZxe-gBDJby76oPStzDjtQ/s1600/fb2.jpg"></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><br /></u></span><br /></div></div>The Hansen'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412134020350786250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36264679.post-18897077540546860412010-09-09T21:21:00.001-05:002010-09-09T21:22:44.852-05:00;;whoa its been a while::<div style="text-align: center;">::updated family pic::</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk37jWhCMfnR9mgyKg-TW0Ou1AqDDPBAEf8n2mjpWqG4TIm-nB-6ScFxjF-CcojWP2R80_CNW4v91LQQZ6SAPV_iFZ2IySC03d5x9ETK357FsTAteKNJrAgeI92dRfh5lJencliQ/s1600/hansen.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 293px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk37jWhCMfnR9mgyKg-TW0Ou1AqDDPBAEf8n2mjpWqG4TIm-nB-6ScFxjF-CcojWP2R80_CNW4v91LQQZ6SAPV_iFZ2IySC03d5x9ETK357FsTAteKNJrAgeI92dRfh5lJencliQ/s400/hansen.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515104516752978882" /></a>The Hansen'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412134020350786250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36264679.post-10088101600628996392010-03-16T07:20:00.003-05:002010-03-16T10:02:50.158-05:00childhood sayings revisited<div style="text-align: center;">Growing up my family had a theme song (doesn't every family): "You can't always get What you Want" by The Rolling Stones. As a child my siblings and I were never to amused when we would ask for something and mom & dad would break in to their best rock and roll performance (real embarrassing when you are in public) then as we would sigh and dramatically proclaim, 'it's not fair', their response was "LIFE IS NOT FAIR"...... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The funny thing is, although I know its true I still, as an adult, don't like the saying! On this beautiful sunny morning I am so thankful, God has blessed me beyond measure and I am so incredibly grateful. </div><div style="text-align: center;">However, I want to stomp around screaming 'its not fair'; its not for me, its for those who are hurting deeper than I ever have. Two wonderful, faithful, God fearing families that are hurting...2 precious babies and their families...I know that God is holding them tight, surrounding them with his steadfast love. Their strength that is so mesmerizing is from he who created us, their endurance is from our great God, and their faith is from these.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So although I don't think its fair, I can accept that God has a plan, his hand is in this, he sees the big picture and I will trust in his vision.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of the deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great. Psalm 18:32-35</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So as we go about our day, remember the big guy's got your back! </div><div style="text-align: center;">He will bless us with what we need, he knows.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">see whats beautiful today,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">:ash:</div>The Hansen'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412134020350786250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36264679.post-45592956373736042082010-03-09T08:27:00.003-05:002010-03-09T08:53:40.285-05:00{the way God works...}<div style="text-align: center;">You know the old saying God works in mysterious ways...but thinking about that I don't think its mysterious, its exactly what we need! </div><div style="text-align: center;">This past weekend was crazy busy...which is a blessing( as I am pushing forward with my passion to work with my photography full time, which allows for me to be home with the girls) because it shows me that my hard work is paying off, Ashley Photography is growing! In fact in just the last week and a half I have booked 3 weddings :) </div><div style="text-align: center;">So with that being said I had an unfortunate circumstance occur this past weekend as I was working an event...another photographer acted very poorly towards me, though this person does not know me she chose to speak negatively about me and my talents...and it just keeps digging in to me, to be honest I am having a hard time letting it go! I actually would love to shout from the roof tops this persons name, but I know that won't get me anywhere...so this morning as I sat down to do a devotional I opened my bible and starring up at me in blaring yellow highlighter was this verse: </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC0000;">"Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC0000;">come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning..."</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC0000;">1 corinthians 15: 33-34</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC0000;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Yup, I think God was talking to me...although I had only discussed this matter with my best friends and family, I am still sinning and I allowed her actions to affect mine, I should have forgave the other for her actions immediately and moved on...but that is hard, not of human nature...I should have prayed as the situation unfolded instead of waiting till my heart was hardened...lessons learned. So this morning as I reflect on my actions I pray that God strengthens me to be better the next time!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Gotta run, we are going to be late for gymnastics! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">since the blog is better with pics here are my babies:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">sky</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJdvosZXA_8Ffdnemcti3n7XtfJH0xafgolPthB9XWtvJYKtSICYpDcB6Kaq3jn3Z5YHeFvxmZin-_MTfa-PV-UcaFgi0IVZe7kACjFMGuKmMCZ3RciW5CrGz-n-sDf7ol6dbRlw/s1600-h/P3043705+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJdvosZXA_8Ffdnemcti3n7XtfJH0xafgolPthB9XWtvJYKtSICYpDcB6Kaq3jn3Z5YHeFvxmZin-_MTfa-PV-UcaFgi0IVZe7kACjFMGuKmMCZ3RciW5CrGz-n-sDf7ol6dbRlw/s400/P3043705+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446626064058233602" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">ari</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOiFo8Hfc6eRSTGPsuqiHjrP-RIdhK0m8cQP3FkLw0ST1kFQxhdYn3j_9BOMPZAAaBcTOsCTu44L6UN1gUtpBVJRffMHT_kaXbEZCD9jQGdUUSXttpOcE1gzZHysDIuZDokVKAmQ/s1600-h/P3043691+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOiFo8Hfc6eRSTGPsuqiHjrP-RIdhK0m8cQP3FkLw0ST1kFQxhdYn3j_9BOMPZAAaBcTOsCTu44L6UN1gUtpBVJRffMHT_kaXbEZCD9jQGdUUSXttpOcE1gzZHysDIuZDokVKAmQ/s400/P3043691+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446626055668903858" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">buster</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrxdhZ43MZ1UwJkOxd_pvp2yi9lrDVEeeB7tS91v_d1NP45yYNetRnc4eNJqHgctlXGTmbXj4UhGU5hAN9MP9eiT-DmSJUbjj85Wksz-HSk-kaZUJDWPWN7bjIMpE1FkGNyK52wA/s1600-h/P3043653.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrxdhZ43MZ1UwJkOxd_pvp2yi9lrDVEeeB7tS91v_d1NP45yYNetRnc4eNJqHgctlXGTmbXj4UhGU5hAN9MP9eiT-DmSJUbjj85Wksz-HSk-kaZUJDWPWN7bjIMpE1FkGNyK52wA/s400/P3043653.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446626049586651522" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">bruiser</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4dv6Ljv6Cr4sMRhEFbDw35CTkiFXprh1IssW7DCn3_iz9ngk9o0V7W7V1XpioDlp8eeoIK5IjvHqGTJy2llfW13nb7v4TZ2t1Y-SDl_j_sczoZoNMt7vGbRlBhf17Rt24cMrWjg/s1600-h/P3043649.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4dv6Ljv6Cr4sMRhEFbDw35CTkiFXprh1IssW7DCn3_iz9ngk9o0V7W7V1XpioDlp8eeoIK5IjvHqGTJy2llfW13nb7v4TZ2t1Y-SDl_j_sczoZoNMt7vGbRlBhf17Rt24cMrWjg/s400/P3043649.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446626042127746946" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div>blessings,</div><div><br /></div><div>ash<br /><br /></div>The Hansen'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412134020350786250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36264679.post-74835494748718014462010-03-04T08:25:00.004-05:002010-03-04T08:52:32.327-05:00{FPU & some prayer requests}I am so excited that Chris and I have made the decision to start the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University Classes...they consist of 13 weeks of study and group discussion. I went to the TOTAL MONEY MAKEOVER last week and it was awesome to see Dave live, totally a motivator! So last night we started...<div> Somethings that we are excited about: to be on the same page financially, (we have never been far apart but I tend to be on page 10 with Chris on page 5, ya he hates reading :) ), to establish a solid budget that we both agree to and stick to it, to be DEBT free, to not let money or lack there of control our lives....</div><div> I will keep you all updated as to how its going, sometimes it may not be pretty...but in the end I know we will conquer. We are excited to have already accomplished step 1 of the seven steps, step 2 will take us a little longer - pay off all debt but the house, but we are hoping that with in 7-8 months that will be accomplished.</div><div> Our assignment for this week : BUDGET! Sounds fun huh? honestly I think this will be the hardest, we are going to be following the envelope system... and the when its gone its gone mentality must prevail. </div><div> After the last year this is so refreshing, to be on the rebound, headed in the right direction...no going back!</div><div><br /></div><div>*my last thought for the day: I covet your prayers for a friend, her daughter and the rest of her family...they have had a very difficult year and were given some heartbreaking news on Monday. Their sweet baby girl may only have days left here with them. Please pray that she is comfortable and pain free, please pray for her siblings that there maybe understanding, please pray for her mommy and daddy as they cherish these days, allow them continued strength...</div><div><br /></div><div>The other day I heard Carrie Underwoods "Temporary Home"...it is a beautiful song, and I absolutely love the lyrics, here is the chorus:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; font-family:verdana, sans-serif;font-size:12px;">"This is my temporary Home<br />It's not where I belong<br />Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through<br />This was just a stop,on the way To where I'm going<br />I'm not afraid because I know this was<br />My temporary home." </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div>It is comforting that as christians we KNOW this is true, not only this world is temporary, but remember so are situations...</div><div><br /></div><div>blessing,</div><div>ash</div>The Hansen'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412134020350786250noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36264679.post-6176145098024949502010-03-03T13:30:00.002-05:002010-03-03T13:55:48.526-05:00{some winter fun}<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPZt-7alLgU_tgSCqetpXmSA1sD1LHu2KhKOwqvho0sHVOmjBjX1pfO299uDmJQbYpvfclwb8QJmO5YxjHJtcyhwi177DVvv5Yq4ldMn5o0U6DvBhK7cAT_pxSCF-Jj5KdkIf77w/s1600-h/P1010001.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPZt-7alLgU_tgSCqetpXmSA1sD1LHu2KhKOwqvho0sHVOmjBjX1pfO299uDmJQbYpvfclwb8QJmO5YxjHJtcyhwi177DVvv5Yq4ldMn5o0U6DvBhK7cAT_pxSCF-Jj5KdkIf77w/s400/P1010001.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444477650650832242" /></a>so I know have been horrible about posting but also about taking pictures....well of my own family so not only am I going to get better at blogging again, I am also going to take the time to photograph whats happening... these are from a couple of weekends ago at Caberfae. We are still working on Sky's skiing skills....she is a complete chicken sh** this year (totally takes after me) ! It seems as though there is the slightest bit of danger and she wants to bail...this is a good thing though, as Ari is showing us she is scared of nothing (just like her Daddy)! So the girls personalities will compliment each other as do mine and Chris' funny how that happens!<div> Ari aside from being our daredevil is on the move (for about the last 3 weeks) and is in to everything...so amazing how they go from not being able to walk to practically running in such a short amount of time...and she wants to do everything that Sky does. It is so precious to me to watch them play, although it often turns a little to rough and someone starts screaming :) </div><div> Ari is really trying to put her words together..she gabs a lot but we only understand a few things so far, I know in a short amount of time we will have another talker on our hands, watch out Chris!!</div><div> Skylar started her second go round at gymnastics yesterday with complete success, she LOVED it and participated in every activity (even the ones she was scared of last time). She is my big girl, my little lady, my mini me...(even if she looks like chris) she really has my personality, very outgoing, but reserved and cautious when necessary! She is so looking forward to spring time so she can get outside more. The other day she totally cracked me up, this was our convo:</div><div><br /></div><div>me : uncle cam is coming by to see you today</div><div>sky: he is! i think we are going to the zoo (he told her almost 2 months ago that he wanted to take her and now every time she is sees him that is what she wants to do)</div><div>me: honey i don't think you are going today, you have to wait till its warmer out</div><div>sky: ugh! its just so frickin cold!</div><div>me: what</div><div>sky: its frickin cold</div><div>me: can we just say its cold?</div><div>sky: but IT IS fricking cold mom!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>not to argue with her we do have some cold days, but now we are watching our language a little closer :) </div><div><br /><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKYiJgI9YpzI-DnJGoGMs8UESX8n1OB7i5f0Wr3JIns6690s910BDHqMgnAM7dZw-xpV7pVj2tmBWafELM7zEM2J3z-bVTGGnAZ-Rr2RMvDgrsm5njWJVVJaItC_UYl_0owSJ4cg/s1600-h/P1010002.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKYiJgI9YpzI-DnJGoGMs8UESX8n1OB7i5f0Wr3JIns6690s910BDHqMgnAM7dZw-xpV7pVj2tmBWafELM7zEM2J3z-bVTGGnAZ-Rr2RMvDgrsm5njWJVVJaItC_UYl_0owSJ4cg/s400/P1010002.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444477641230770482" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVcHekziYxjD0H8P4IjT7sE3slRywXkog_ovRBg6Xr1RLsldGdD7Ae8I97y2j578w2rb7raTxq6bD92QFyUBFcVtgoQvEm3UZGzteUBpM268PBgHGH8Fzg0NdLGiz8ZcjBCbKN1A/s1600-h/P1010009.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVcHekziYxjD0H8P4IjT7sE3slRywXkog_ovRBg6Xr1RLsldGdD7Ae8I97y2j578w2rb7raTxq6bD92QFyUBFcVtgoQvEm3UZGzteUBpM268PBgHGH8Fzg0NdLGiz8ZcjBCbKN1A/s400/P1010009.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444477635397936642" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaVYK-MfhrExnLRILFk7Mjqly9ywlhFkgV6wTpjxkwY-JEUeXHpq7rMYyc1TRwrqAYATJUtP464kDgqtOQqSHRMZwUJfpFd9FOWtfm5VdXjppING-SdRsJ-cVjo5Ndg1scGraBeg/s1600-h/P1010016.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaVYK-MfhrExnLRILFk7Mjqly9ywlhFkgV6wTpjxkwY-JEUeXHpq7rMYyc1TRwrqAYATJUtP464kDgqtOQqSHRMZwUJfpFd9FOWtfm5VdXjppING-SdRsJ-cVjo5Ndg1scGraBeg/s400/P1010016.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444477626471445330" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS9r21B6M_G9lw8nK3dtDN6ScrRbhs2MtmjgHoWfJhbrTBW1bJTe325-lOlYKLZUb7dYlnYy_yAa7xPgZu86R5zPxHvXrykufD0QD0sWTHkPwj_soPoowjmfHfdZbXYENoh-u7ag/s1600-h/P1010020.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS9r21B6M_G9lw8nK3dtDN6ScrRbhs2MtmjgHoWfJhbrTBW1bJTe325-lOlYKLZUb7dYlnYy_yAa7xPgZu86R5zPxHvXrykufD0QD0sWTHkPwj_soPoowjmfHfdZbXYENoh-u7ag/s400/P1010020.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444477619584820594" /></a><br /></div></div>The Hansen'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412134020350786250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36264679.post-12778183661360315682010-02-18T14:43:00.005-05:002010-02-18T14:45:39.562-05:00{3 & 1}<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipb-IQQdb9FWCn1f_39l9dy8KYER-XGisbXxR0Y0PM6X3G54FMs8sWaN1mgwuH44LDyh0MaNI6qzJm6pFsBMfVTkW68HRJRGjjhf5UHMSJHFykim19teLiA3yPU6cWzWQCdrXOgQ/s1600-h/fb1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipb-IQQdb9FWCn1f_39l9dy8KYER-XGisbXxR0Y0PM6X3G54FMs8sWaN1mgwuH44LDyh0MaNI6qzJm6pFsBMfVTkW68HRJRGjjhf5UHMSJHFykim19teLiA3yPU6cWzWQCdrXOgQ/s400/fb1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439671487775292626" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcYTzsQaYpg9r8OHioOJbsGhn1rfnBBikflFvulleqLOsgyobztTyt8Xccbd4XMWweIXGBpcwC-mxN_6FTfeaPfVeb9gMk8_8q6eozsPGKhzFZn1GEg-Sq5rH828O0vZZozQ6Zxg/s1600-h/fb2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcYTzsQaYpg9r8OHioOJbsGhn1rfnBBikflFvulleqLOsgyobztTyt8Xccbd4XMWweIXGBpcwC-mxN_6FTfeaPfVeb9gMk8_8q6eozsPGKhzFZn1GEg-Sq5rH828O0vZZozQ6Zxg/s400/fb2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439671479432792882" /></a><br /><div>so as promised i am posting (and you get pictures)!

there will be a day for a great picture of the two of them!</div><div>today is a beautiful day here in MI!

I really don't think that Skylar and Ari devised a plan to torment me or make mess upon mess. </div><div> As another friend wrote on her blog and it sticks with me: we should be thankful that they are able to play outside and track mud in on our freshly mopped floors, that they are able to eat and spill their dinner on the floor, that they are able to voice/yell and reason their opinions because it means they are able to speak and understand...there are so many more instances that we encounter through out this journey of motherhood and we have a choice...when you hit the breaking point will you crumble or will you see the beauty in the situation for what it is... it is a constant decision, choose BEAUTIFUL! we need to remember to relish in each new day and moment, they are gifts from our wonderful creator...God is good !</div><div> so i did not write today just to ramble, as I make a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">conscious</span> decision to choose beautiful I am going to try to better document our crazy beautiful lives...i used to be so good at updating and then it fell by the wayside and my excuse was 'its busier with 2' and when in fact it is, its not a valid excuse. I do have at least 2 ~ 15 minute periods every week to fill you all in on the beauty we are experiencing, life may not be perfect but its our perfect...i am not promising pictures (ok ok there will be some pictures) but at least i will update. </div><div> so here's to life...let's be thankful for what is our beauty!</div>The Hansen'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412134020350786250noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36264679.post-3971564153592319912009-10-28T21:37:00.002-05:002009-10-28T22:04:02.931-05:00Trunk or Treat...and a much needed update!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1SC-0QuLoJg6xQc0nrXZhEWpaBYQrXIKaYJ2ZIK2QNUtBGbN9bv1HVpz8Dafo_g5wFj_MNTk2caMYCHC3d1XsHTSPKJ3_JgvxZDMeMX5s2LdY3x5TQe5cGa2Lu8YvKu7L5K1AYw/s1600-h/PA286147.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1SC-0QuLoJg6xQc0nrXZhEWpaBYQrXIKaYJ2ZIK2QNUtBGbN9bv1HVpz8Dafo_g5wFj_MNTk2caMYCHC3d1XsHTSPKJ3_JgvxZDMeMX5s2LdY3x5TQe5cGa2Lu8YvKu7L5K1AYw/s400/PA286147.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397845909488752098" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQiNn1AjJAswTp28c4NDujDlunkTrdfS8DnOjrUbGSfvW9HPvAHTmyJjgDFscr7FfO8qTVusSkv7nH-PHNN2n3Q_VLBaQYg57_Ku2dHdMc1fRD9SF9eLAPXNWwLOB5_jGnfAnL-Q/s1600-h/PA286143.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQiNn1AjJAswTp28c4NDujDlunkTrdfS8DnOjrUbGSfvW9HPvAHTmyJjgDFscr7FfO8qTVusSkv7nH-PHNN2n3Q_VLBaQYg57_Ku2dHdMc1fRD9SF9eLAPXNWwLOB5_jGnfAnL-Q/s400/PA286143.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397845906967993586" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwGqlcrllLzzkugGcMGhHYxM-BhNaSZiRV0eIq2LykGtcOc6rW6YFsSXJzT5zJOHkpNUVH3D16Mcr2sICaY-GRy0w0cME_LYC_l7fQpV6admgRK4cOdcwUPNqUOAt9xxbgCJkN6g/s1600-h/PA286141.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwGqlcrllLzzkugGcMGhHYxM-BhNaSZiRV0eIq2LykGtcOc6rW6YFsSXJzT5zJOHkpNUVH3D16Mcr2sICaY-GRy0w0cME_LYC_l7fQpV6admgRK4cOdcwUPNqUOAt9xxbgCJkN6g/s400/PA286141.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397845896595582994" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">What an incredible fall day here in MI! And its about time because we have had a pretty cold and rainy season so far. So with the mild temps and sunny skies, the girls and I headed to 'Trunk or Treat' with the Hedstroms. Ari was of course just along for the ride :) But Sky loved trick or treating and getting candy, I think Halloween may end up being her favorite holiday!<br /><br />We have had a lot going on in the Hansen house this fall....I have been super busy with work, photography, & life...Chris is super busy with school, and the girls are busy buy busy!!!<br />(to say the least)<br />We enjoyed family in town at the beginning of the month for Haley & Courtney's wedding. It was so great to see everyone but of course it was not nearly enough time, and there were several family members we were missing so it would be wonderful to catch up with them in the near future! Haley was an absolutely beautiful bride...I unfortunately did not shoot the wedding so I do not have any pictures to share, bummer right? My amazing friend Jaren did the photography and we are all patiently waiting to see some photos! I know they will be stunning :)<br /><br />Little Miss Ari is not so little anymore...she is now 9 months old, can you believe it...time is flying by! I am trying to grasp every minute I can! She started crawling at the end of Aug and within 3 weeks was pulling to stand. She is now walking around furniture and getting pretty steady on her feet. I am betting that she will be walking by Christmas, whoo not sure if I am ready for it or not! She just had her 9 month check up and is growing perfectly...a very long 29 inches and she is weighing in at 20 lbs. (95th percent for height & 75th percent for weight) She has also come very self aware and is starting to let you know if she is not happy with certain situation (i.e. Sky taking her toys from her) She squeals pretty loud!!! She is such a great little girl even with the fact that she is becoming so aware of her ability to disagree she is most of the time a pretty laid back little girl!!<br /><br />Sky is really keeping us on our toes...she is constantly making us laugh with her take on life. To see the world through her eyes, really takes any worry and stress away and leaves you with wonderful belly laughs instead <3 We are finding that she is now using our tactics against us...<br /><br />a couple of of recent conversations:<br /><br />sky(at 8am) : mom I want candy because I am hungry<br />me: ok I will make you some toast :)<br />sky: mom, do you hear me...look in my eyes when i talk, i am serious!<br />(YIKES)<br />needless to say she just got toast<br />_______________________________________________________<br /><br />me: sky, ari has a red mark on her cheek, did you hit her?<br />sky: well mom, it was with a magic wand! and i just made her a cutie pie<br />(got to love her reasoning huh?)<br />_______________________________________________________<br />after taking her toys away from Ari<br />sky: ari is a pain in my butt<br />then after listening to ari scream because the toys were taken away<br />sky: ari is a drama queen<br />__________________________________________________________<br /><br />we don't have many dull moments around here, and we love every minute of it!<br /><br /><br /><br /></div>The Hansen'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412134020350786250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36264679.post-86290542059389371452009-09-06T12:34:00.003-05:002009-09-06T12:38:47.606-05:00{She's on the move}<div style="text-align: center;"> Ari is on the move...watch out world! No more putting her down and knowing exactly where she is...she is a quick one. I can't believe how quickly my baby is growing!

She has asked if Skylar would model for the shoot but I told her no promises could be made, Sky has a mind of her own and we would have to see what was on that mind the day of the shoot.
