This week I decided to use this picture of Pyper. It was after her Princess makeover at Disney she was tired and wanted some water, so Chad ran off to get some and we sat down. She was so beautiful but sort of tired and the looks was just that of her waiting on her prince to come.
Be sure to check out the other photos over at www.iHeartFaces.blogspot.com they are always beautiful to see!
“Focusing on Angles”
The theme to the latest iHeartFaces contest.
I chose this picture of the smallest pea because you could see that beautiful smile. It seemed that once she got one tooth she got ten! This was one way of seeing her teeth, shooting from an angle. It’s not the most pronouced angle just slight but it worked. She was in the playroom and got hot, she decided that only one arm remain in her shirt. It was so funny I would just call her Beyonce’ in her single ladies get up!

MARCH 2008
It was the “blizzard” of 2008 the county office actually closed that day! The oldest pea was so excited that the snow had not stopped all night, and she was begging to go make a snowman. I was excited too because this was the first time she showed any interest in being in snow. So I got her all wrapped up….three layers of pants three shirts and a dress yes a dress she was in her I only wear dresses phase and well it just kept her warmer LOL!
I will post a blog this week to show you the whole time we were out there the snow was to her waist and it was hysterical getting out to the front yard. Once we got out there she instinctively threw her body down and made a snow angel.
I was cracking up! Surely she learned it somewhere ”Where did you see how to make a snow angel Py?” “On Max and Ruby Mommy its a snow bunny!” So it is Py…….so it is. So here is my entry this week!
She’s my little snow bunny!

The latest iheartfaces contest is Jump for Joy! I knew once I saw the theme that I had to search through all my photo’s for one on my brother and sister in-laws trampoline.
I never liked the oldest pea on the trampoline it scared the bugeezers out of me. I thought for sure she would jump off and break a bone and even at three years old she would laugh at me for thinking that. But she is little and has no control ….so I thought. This picture was taken October 2008 she was four and a half ahd plenty of control and so very happy that Mommy wasn’t invading her space!

This weeks iheart faces contest is hand on fun.
Last September we adopted our kitten Professor Puffington, it had been a long time coming we wanted to find a kitten in July for the oldest peas 5th birthday. Dad of 2 peas had gotten a kitten on his 5th birthday and really wanted to make it happen for Pyper too!
We also felt since we lost two family cats last year that our cat Petey Peteman was lonely. He was acting sort of depressed if you could imagine. So for months we looked until we found Puff.
On the day we brought him home you would have thought he had lived here for years and that these peas had been around forever. He had no fear (and he still doesn’t) He was 6 weeks old and never ran from either peas he let Py hold him and Phoebe believe it or not was pretty gentle with the new little guy.
Here we caught our littlest pea being as gentle as she could be…..so our hand on fun is hands on Professor Puffington fun!

I heart faces contest this week is kisses and I knew it had to be one of Py kissing
Phoebe when we first came home with her.
She was so happy and proud to be the big sister that she could stop asking
to hold her and kiss her. Phoebe is now 16 months old and she is still all over her.
I hope that this mutual love fest never ends between these two sisters.
Be sure to check out all the other lovely kisses photos at ……. iheartfaces.blogspot.com or just click on my photo and it will take you right to their blog.
I read this weeks iheartfaces contest was texture, at first I thought I might skip this one. I didn’t really have the time to play around with photoshop and well to be honest it seems like most the winners are professional and I just love to take pictures! But then I thought, no I will look for something I haven’t blogged in a few weeks and this will give my blog some new content. As I looked through the pictures of the last few months I saw this one; my wonderful husband looking for the perfect pumpkin at the patch. I saw the look on his face, so serious, scanning the patch for a big dark green one yes a green one he so wanted to be different this year. The next thing I saw was the texture in a natural non photoshopped picture. The texture the tree trunk in the background, the leaves and of all the grasses in the patch perfectly outlining the man I love. SO just when you think you have nothing to show off for the iheartfaces contest…look again you might discover something beautiful even if it is just a memory.

This weeks Iheartfaces challenge was the best face shot and all I could think of was Pyper’s first visit to the Columbus Zoo. I normally would have had a hard time with this one. I have taken so many of the girls that I would love to put on here! Luckily I had just cleaned my scrap loft and found this one blown up to frame from 2007!~ shows how behind I am huh?
This was June 2007, and we had just moved into our house a few months earlier so we were finally able to have some family spend the night. Chad’s parents were down this particular weekend so we planned on taking them to the zoo. Columbus Zoo is amazing and we had such a good time I will never forget Pyper’s expressions now that she was old enough to pay attention to the animals and of course they have a huge playground! Here she is looking down on the train that goes through the zoo too afraid to ride the train she was happy to look at it though!
AND now that we live in Columbus I think I should add that the Columbus Zoo was named the #1 Zoo in America by USA Travel Guide!
Be sure to check out the many and I mean many other entries at iheartfaces.blogspot.com I think they have a record number this time around! And while you are there wish the site a Happy Anniversary Amy and Angie did a phenomenal job on this website in just a year and they deserve a pat on the back. They got people blogging who never thought they would!
Of course we are going to share Pete’s spotlight with Professor Puffington! It seems as though he was meant for our household the flash doesn’t seem to bother him a bit; and with a mommy like me……well he will see a lot of flash bulbs!
Puff now weighs 6 pounds when we adopted him he was only 2 pounds! He was recently declawed and the kid’s legs thank us for that. He is not an outside cat and it doesn’t seem to bother him. He was in a funk for a few days why the heck did we leave him at the hospital over night?? He is over it now and it acting as though he has his claw anyway. I would like to say that our vet Dr Pat is amazing she takes such good care of our animals and never charged us for the hospital stay! When Pete got delawed that was the most expensive part. She also gave us the litter to use for a few days so we would have it and gave Puff two days of pain meds poor Pete never got that either. SO thank you Dr Schmitt in Grove City at the Community Vet Clinic!
Now go enjoy all the other photos at iheartfaces.blogspot.com they aren’t always your every day cat and dog tails they could be lions or tiger or bear tails too!
Yes, I didn’t know what it was either until I looked at some examples!
So I searched my files and found what I thought to be a perfect example of my own.
We had moved four and a half years ago; we are now two and a half hours away from all of our family. We go back home often BUT when any of the grandparents can come to visit well….. it’s the peas turf and they want to show them everything. On this day it was the play set that their Daddy Pea had worked so hard on (with a little help from some friends Art and Kevin). The peas were in heaven outside in the warm sun, in their new swings just enjoying their family. The laughter that day was priceless. I love the look on Chad’s face, the genuine smiles warm my heart like the sun in this picture kept their bare feet warm.
