I Heart Faces - Joy




Here are my two pictures this week!!! I had to do the adult one this week... because it is truly easy to find a picture of joy in a child's face... but to capture "joy" I mean real joy in an adults face is definitely a precious moment to freeze in time and I did it here with my hero..."my dad" definitely a picture to keep safe... the one person a daughter always want to make happy!!
(It helps that we are at Disney World too)
"Grandpa's Joy"

The next is simply the cutest smile eva.... how the simple things in life can make a 2 year old happy... a princess crown, a pink dress and, of course, a cupcake!!
"Joy's of a Smile"

I hope you enjoyed my joyious moments and they have brought a smile to your face today... I definitely find these two pics to be favorites! Be sure to check out http://www.iheartfaces.com/ for many enJOYing pictures (dats my father sense of humor...LOL)

Tuesday's Laughter

Laughter LivesThis post is part of "Laughter Lives! Tuesday" on the Riggs Family Blog. Check our their blog to read everyone else's "Laughter Lives!" posts.

My Laughter story begins with Jamal...
This was a couple years ago at a religious event, afterwards we went to dinner with my parents in a crowded resturant where I was there trying to decide what to get my boys, we discussed the menu with them several times coming back to the "Grill"Cheese sandwich for Jamal. He says he wants it but then we can't understand what he don't like about it because "Mom knows Best" what her kids like to eat.... and Jamal loves his cheese!!


So we knew what we was gonna order the next time the waitress came by... we were set!! Here she comes we go around the table... crowded resturant and I order Jamal's "Grill"Cheese sandwich and he lets out a big yell and temper tantrum and we can not understand what is the problem, so after we have EVERYONES attention around us... We find out that Jamal does NOT want a "Girl"Cheese sandwich............. He WANTS a "Boy"Cheese Sandwich!!


Of course, he is 100% Boy, so of course, He wants himself a "Boy"Cheese Sandwich.... why can't us parents figure these lil things out!!
