I Heart Faces Photo Challenge: Happiness

This girls smile and laughter is contagious! She is always SO happy. She is ALWAYS so sweet. I just hope she stays this way forever.

Hello Beach Weather - I can't complain!

I don't know who this family was ....

But thanks for the AH Mazing shot!

They love mom's Chinese chicken wings!

My kids can eat an entire 8 pound bag of these chicken wings! They LOVE them - especially Ashton. While they are cooking you can find Ashton pacing in front of the stove in anticipation of them coming out the oven. 

And another shot just practicing how to smile for the camera - he cracks me up!!!

Amelia and her BFF

Having sushi lunch! What fun!

Girl talk over a Seaweed Salad -

BFF's

SO much fun! -

Playing dress-up

She loves getting into my clothes and dressing up like me! Then she LOVES posing for the camera!

We've been hit with a stomach bug

Amelia slept at a friends house last night and early this morning I got a call from her friends mom - she was getting sick. Poor baby girl has been feeling horrible all day. I'm hoping this skips over everyone else - I'm the biggest baby when it comes to the stomach bug!

My sweet loves =)

Ashton enjoying the beach

Me, Amelia, Amelia's BFF, and Ash

Someday we'll get the "smile for the camera" LOL

Ashton

Another HDR attempt...

The clouds today were really cool looking since we were having rainy cold weather, so I thought I'd take my camera down to the beach. Boy, was it COLD!

Laughter

I just love this moment I caught of my daughter laughing!

My 2nd attempt at HDR

I've been wanting to do this for quite some time now. I finally got off my butt and did it. My 1st attempt was a failure - I won't even share that, lol. This time around I got the correct program and I *think* I did what I was supposed to camera wise. There are a million mistakes in these, I know. But I like where this is going and I can't wait to try more!

Self Portrait

I haven't done one of these in a while but working on my 365 project this was on the list.
