Hands-On Fun

The theme this week at i♥faces is “Hands-On Fun” and it’s one of those themes that doesn’t require a face in the photo, although the pic I chose has one.  It’s been forever since I posted anything…I’m so pregnant and uncomfortable right now that sleep usually always sounds better than anything else!  I thought I would do it this week though, so I’m getting this one in just under the wire.  This is my 1 year old son praying before supper…this is how he started holding his hands when we say the prayer and I love it because it’s exactly how my 4 year old son held his hands when he first started praying.

“We Are Family”

This week’s challenge at i♥faces is “We Are Family”.  This is my good friend and her family…they’re HUGE Oklahoma football fans.  I did a family photo shoot for them and it wasn’t complete until we got some shots with their Oklahoma sweatshirts on.  I don’t do too many photos black and white with color, but I thought it really made the red stand out on this one.  (Note:  to non-Oklahoma fans – I have no preference for sports teams, this is just a pic of my friends!)

You Capture - Winter

Okay, I know You Capture at i should be folding laundry was last Thursday, but my internet hasn’t been working and I had all these pictures I took last week of “winter” around my house, so I am posting this REALLY late!  We’ve had a cool frost a couple times in the last week, so most of these are of that, but they all have one thing in them – lots of SNOW! 

I have so many more, but that was way too many already!  Be sure to check out everyone else’s cool pics at i should be folding laundry.

Best Face Photo

i♥faces is turning one!  This week’s challenge is “Best Face Photo” and your photo had to be taken in December or January.  This is my one-year-old son after sledding with his daddy and big brother…he was really tired!  I loved his rosy cheeks too :-)  I took it on December 27th.

“Hilarious Outtakes”

It’s “Hilarious Outtakes” week at i♥faces and we’re allowed to enter up to 5 photos this time.  Here are a few of mine:

This one’s my oldest son at the end of one of our photo shoots…he was done with pictures!

This is from that same shoot, for our Christmas cards…the youngest is doing one of his screams “just because” and the oldest is making one of his typical faces…

Next we have my oldest talking to himself in the bathroom mirror, unaware Mom is taking pictures… 

This one’s from our trip to Chicago…I was TRYING to get a nice shot of my hubby and son at Navy Pier…

 

Finally we have a shot from a family photo shoot I did for a friend…the little boy wasn’t feeling well and didn’t want to smile, so we had his dad start throwing leaves at them, and the baby girl was shoveling leaves in her mouth as fast as she could…I’m not sure how many she ate that day!

Be sure to visit i♥faces for some very funny photos.  Happy New Year everyone!!

Pets Only!

It’s “Pets Only!” week over at i♥faces.  I was really torn as to which photo to enter this week…I have so many pics of animals and thought of entering one in particular that is a much better quality photo than this one, but decided in the spirit of Christmas to enter this photo taken during our Christmas card shoot.  I know the title says “Pets Only” but I figured since Angie's post had a human face in it, it was okay ;-).  This is “Skip” the horse and my two little boys…we had been taking pictures for quite awhile when I took this one – I think Skip was getting tired of being a reindeer (especially since I did this same photo shoot 3 years ago when my oldest was the age of my youngest) and probably tired of screaming, bouncing boys!  All day I swear I could see her thinking “Didn’t I do this 3 years ago?  The stupid reindeer antlers were humiliating enough once…at least she didn’t make me wear the blinking nose again (only because I couldn’t find it!)…and look, the dumb broad’s pregnant again…look out in 3 more years!”

You can catch more photos from our Christmas card shoot in this post.  And be sure to head over to i♥faces to see more great pet photos!

Sweet Dreams

It’s “Sweet Dreams” week over at i♥faces.  I wish I had a photo of myself sleeping, but sadly those don’t exist as my 16 month old has never slept through the night and I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant!  Ha!  This is a photo of my youngest…I was on the phone with a friend when he was ready for his nap and I guess he got tired of waiting because he just fell asleep on the kitchen floor.  Notice the extra pacifier…you can’t see it in this shot but there is a third one on the other side of his head.  He likes to carry as many extras around as possible!

Be sure to take a peek at everyone else’s sweeties dreaming at i♥faces.
