I couldn’t resist submitting my first iheartfaces entry (#315 Laughter & Love) into this week’s Photo Challenge. As someone above said, laughter is good for the soul and we can always use a little more in our lives!
currently # 303, my entry is of my little one getting a kick out of something really simple…the mail! i love how the simplest things can make her laugh so much!

#295 My son and his great grandma were putting shredded paper in her strawberry garden to protect it for winter. As you can see, work was not all they had in mind. My then 5 yr old son and 81 yr young grandma ended up playing in, throwing, rolling around in, and “busting a gut” in the paper. Whoever said that laughter keeps you young, knew what they were talking about.
Please disregard my previous comment…I got it to work! Guess my computer was just being tempermental or something.
Mine is entry #292. This picture is from our friend Josie’s 1 Year Birthday shoot. She just loved the little floral puff balls I made, and thought they were hilarious! Such a fun shoot! She is so adorable…I just wish the picture could portray her adorable little laugh as well!
Is anyone else having problems using the Linky Tool? I have entered these contests multiple times and have never had this problem before.
I am not seeing any button or link to click to go to the next page or submit my entry. Please help!

My husband and son were goofing around last fourth of July, and of course the tickle monster showed up. I can still hear him laughing in this picture. Thank you I Heart Faces, love all of the submissions!
I love this weeks photo challenge! The picture I chose is of my crazy, silly grandparents, at 91 years young my Pa is just as fiesty as ever! Photo #266
Could you remove my #268 entry? It didn’t work correctly on the link so I added it again. (269)

YAY! I’m number #242 and I LOVE the picture I submitted of two people who are VERY excited to become parents after a long wait. I’m so happy for them and love their smiling faces. I love looking at everyone else’s work. Awesome pictures!
Hi gals,
I am so sorry but WordPress had a total glitch with my blog about 30 minutes ago. I called my hosting company and we were able to reestablish my connection but it changed my link’s address. You will see two submissions from me above #233 which says “cookie delight” and that link no longer works. So sorry. I grabbed the new permalink and uploaded it with the submission #241. So when you see the dup, could you please Delete 233? Thanks so much. Jeepers sometimes technology is NOT my friend!

My apologies – I have some duplicate posts as I didn’t think it was going through. Pleae delete two Lyrebird Images posts.
Thanks
My sister-in-law completely “busted a gut” when we were taking family photos on Thanksgiving!! It literally was hard to quit smiling as I was editing this picture!!
Thanks for the challenge! This is my first link up. I am number 210 and it is a self portrait of my son and I on Thanksgiving.

New photog and #197 here (ball o’giggles)! I love looking at everyone’s fabulous work! I also welcome and appreciate any feedback! Come by and say “hello!” My entry was taken on a dreary rainy day but as you can see we didn’t let that hinder our good time. Kayla was wide eyed and ready!
My nieces have the best giggles and when these 2 cousins are together giggles abound!

135 didn’t load, but 183 did. Not tech savvy today..
oops, forgot – my picture is #184 Julian’s laugh
I was trying to do a quick photoshoot with my son and I just wanted a sweet face – no big smiles. And this is what I got.
I caught my photo while we were on a ferry. My son and husband are such happy people. I hope their laughter is contagious!
My photo, Vows of Joy (currently #174), is one of my favorite ceremony shots. I think that laughter and having fun together are necessary for a lasting relationship, and it looks like these two have got that part down!

My 9 month old grandson loves to be tickled…he is so precious. I caught this shot as he was playing with his Mommy! … I think it definitely fits the theme.

OOPS! #5! What is wrong with me today?
Mine is #3, my sweet daughter demonstrating her great joy. Unfortunately, I linked only the picture instead of the page it was on, but it was on my website. I’ll learn for next time!
My entry is #11, but the linkytool didnt give me the option to edit my thumbnail
It is a great pic though (of course Im partial) 
I.love.this.challenge! Your challenges help me look for things in photos that I might have missed – I almost deleted my picture
Thanks!

#160, 161 and 162…OOPS! Sorry I was having problems with the Linky tool.
We added a little bit of dancing to our photo shoot and this is the result
cindy recently posted..ihf photo challenge: bust a gut
How can i choose only one? I have tons of them as my little sister is a goof, but im torn between one of my sis, who is very strong but she was 9 back then and not so cute and one of the cutest, happiest baby i’ve worked with. Dont know which one to choose!
As of right now it’s number 163 “mommy’s funny” The title pretty much sums it up. Mom was behind me just making them laugh candidly. Love it!
#149 is my entry for now! I love this challenge, laughter is so amazing, and in so many ways! I got this shot playing around with my kids! I love this photo because I feel that very moment when I look at it, time and time again:)
Couldn’t get my pic uploaded. I love it though!

#145. | BFFs
I took this photo last month during a photoshoot with my sister and her BFFs. They were lying on a blanket and when they tried to get up, they couldn’t because their hair was stuck under each other’s heads. So they started bustin’ a gut.

Mine is “Silly Sisters,” around #144 . These two were rolling in laughter on their little brother’s bed as they whispered secrets to each other…something I always get the kids to do to get a good smile. Whatever they were whispering must have been hilarious!

OOPS!! Sorry!! 133 and 134 are mine … not sure why it’s up twice??
After 10 years of marriage, their little girl finally arrived. And the joy from that shoot was pretty amazing …

I took this picture of my nephews at a park by my house (currently #125 – funny guys). They were busy watching a dog chase a frisbee and had no clue I was snapping photos. The dog did something insanely cool and they just blew up in laughter. I love this pic because you can tell they really love hanging out with each other and just being kids!

I’ve messed up trying to enter. I think I finally got it right on the third try. But the first 2 “Autumn Joys” need to be deleted (currently 115 & 116). This is a picture of my daughter and her sweet beau. Perhaps they are laughing at my technological ineptitude.
Currently #121 ~ I took this last Christmas of my husband [on the right] and some of our great friends. I don’t remember what was so funny, but it obviously was worth a big belly laugh.

I am currently #85 and I had to use this photo of my baby boy with this huge smile. He was excited and so was his hair. Wild hair day for him.
#110: I was trying to get my daughter’s 2 year photos taken but she was not cooperating. She actually started crying at one point because she had enough with pictures but I still hadn’t got my shot. So my husband insisted in trying the “did you fart” option LOL He would make a farting sound and then ask in a quirky way “Jaslyn did you fart” and ta-da ended with a bust a gut laugh LOL
My picture number is 104, SMS Photography.
I had the pleasure of shooting the wonderful Todd family a few weeks ago! In my picture Mr. Asher Man was telling us this joke, “Knock, knock.” “Who’s there?” “Take-a.” “Take-a who?” “Take-a-picture!” In which we all Busted a gut!

#105 we tried to do the whole glitter blowing thing and ended up with an epic fail, but the bust a gut laugh that came after was worth everything!!!
Mine is “Happy Girl”, currently at #10 – she is usually pretty reserved around me, so I was pretty excited when she let go! Thanks for such a great theme – how can one not smile at all these great entries?!?!

My entry is #76 (for now) – “So funny.” I love this challenge – there’s nothing like a kiddo bursting out in laughter!
Maki recently posted..Photo challenge: Bust a gut {Austin family photographer}
I had a great time going through all my laughing pictures. Can’t wait to see everyone’s photos, I know they’ll put a smile on my face.
I used a darker image this week, of my baby laughing at Christmas lights. She kept trying to eat them, and they’re lighting up her smile.

I was looking forward to this challenge. Laughter is good for the soul.
Have a brilliant week.
