I heart this giraffe face!

It’s Pet Week over at I Heart Faces. This isn’t my pet (they didn’t even let us touch it!) but that’s ok.

giraffe: up close

Obviously, we had a trip to the zoo! Visiting the Houston Zoo has been an Easter tradition in my family for as long as I can remember. Since becoming an adult and having kiddos of my own, I’ve been allowed to skip it a few years. We missed Nate’s first AND second because he was sick those years! I thought he was coming up with a new Easter tradition, but he was 100% for his third and had a blast. We missed another since then, but THIS year…we bought a membership and will definitely go as much as we can.

ESPECIALLY FOR THESE GUYS. Getting up close and personal with these giraffes was awesome! My boys fed them lettuce while I snapped away. I have more photos on Flickr, but THIS ONE…it stuck out at me for some reason. I just realllly like it.

See more cute pet faces at I Heart Faces!


Bubbled!

2.365: bubbles

I think this is probably my favorite photo of the year. Can you believe March is right around the corner? My birthday is next week! Or so my family keeps reminding me. I didn’t even know this was the last day of February! Why is this year going by faster than all the others? Slow down, 2011.

Anyway! I love love these bubbles. The theme at I Heart Faces this week is “Anything But a Face,” so I thought it would be perfect. You can include a face, but it doesn’t have to be the subject of your photo, which is a requirement in 99% of the themes. (duh)

I heart SMILEY faces.

A Sunday smile you wore it for a while

A Sunday mile we paused and sang.

A Sunday smile and we felt true.

I took this last weekend when we hung out at Grandma’s house. She brought out the bubbles and the kids played while I snapped away. Bubbles = fun, so there were a lot of smiles amidst the suds. That one up there just happens to be one of my favorites.

The theme at I Heart Faces, this week, is SMILES. Check out the entries and maybe contribute one of your own!
