I Heart Faces

This week at I Heart Faces the theme is Hilarious Outtakes.  Although these aren't that hilarious, they are cute.  Over Christmas weekend in my home town, I took photos of my best friend Laci, her Mom, and son Hayden.  I took Birdie along with me because on my way to Laci's house, Birdie was on the side of the road...I guess she was trying to get back to Benton!  Good thing I found her.  I just loaded her up and took her with me (after getting on to her for wandering off.)  This turned out to be a GREAT thing because Hayden LOVED her. 

Every time I'd squat to take a photo Birdie would come lick my face and Hayden would just laugh and laugh.  I got some Great photos of his cute smile because of Bird!

Hayden got a peddle tractor for Christmas that has a trailer on the back. He made Birdie get in the trailer so I could take their picture!  He thought it was so funny!

Later, Birdie started busting ice in mud puddles behind me and started eating the ice...It was really funny and I got some good shots of the whole family laughing for real!  (Check out that sun flare!!)

Hayden's pretty avid about world peace.  Or at least I think he is, because he kept throwing me peace signs.   I have about 50 shots of him with the peace sign.  I didn't realize he was doing it in half of the photos until I loaded them onto my computer...little stinker.

He was cheesin' really big in this photo and his momma said, "Hayden, make a serious face."   This is Hayden's serious face...and he threw the peace signs in last minute.  I'm thinking he's really confused on the definition of Serious...

Towards the end of the shoot, he got restless because there was a bulldozer near this old house that he wanted to go check out.  He kept yelling "NO MORE PICTURES!!"   I bribed him though and told him I'd take his photo on the bulldozer if he'd be good. 

He was really good (after this shot), and we got some cool pics of him on that bulldozer!!
