{I Heart Faces- Smile}

**Update**: I won 6th place photo with this one! So excited about that. Also, even more excited that the judge who chose my image was the lovely Jasmine Star!! Yahoo!!

Thanks Jasmine!

I haven't done an I heart faces post in a while!

This weeks theme is "SMILE".

I posted my favorite image of my daughter.

We have a hard time saying NO when she smiles.

She melts my heart!

Maybe, because I live in Utah, I am more of a "homesick-miss my family horribly"

type of person. We went at Christmas time to visit my Mom and my siblings.

We seem to have the best time just hanging around each other and letting the kids play.

While I was down, it was Melinda's (my little sister) turn to have her kids photographed.

We just went out into the backyard because we were losing light fast.

Her children are beautiful!

Luke was hard to get to look and smile, as he is a bit of a wild 2 year old.

I'm so glad we got a few though. Phew.

Taylor was so sweet and didn't mind smiling for me.

{So Happy To Be Typing}

OKAY!!!

Phew! I had my surgeries and I am alive!

The last two weeks have been so difficult though. I'm just glad it is over......mostly.

I think I'm done passing my dumb kidney stones. (fingers crossed really tightly)

I got the bulky cast off and the stitches out of my arm on Tuesday and I can sort of type without much pain. Hooray!

I did, however, end up with a metal plate and 7 screws in my arm.

Boooooo! I was hoping that wouldn't have to happen, but it did.

I start physical therapy tomorrow. Ouch.

I wanted to post a few more from the very last session before my surgery.

She was adorable.

Baby and her big sisters.

Alright, I'd better go put my splint back on. I'm not supposed to keep it off this long. Heehee.
