Fun Stuff.

So I got this from the blog of this amazing photographer here in Phoenix, and I am super excited that I get something cool from her.  Here's the deal:

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me!  My choice.  For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations: 1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! 2. What I create will be just for you. 3. It'll be done this year. 4. You have no clue what it's going to be.  It may be a song.  It may be a self portrait or maybe even some creation I haven't yet dreamed up.  I may draw.  I may bake you something and mail it to you.  It may not be big or impressive.  Who knows? Not you, that's for sure! So come on, sign up! 5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog.  The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me!

Some Christmas photos.  I know it's a little late, but you get what you get.

Some fun with grandpa Smith.

Well, I thought it was funny.

She didn't though.  She didn't really get the snow.  She wanted to eat it the whole time.  

Christmas morning she figured out how to put this ornament on the tree.  She might be a genius.  I'm just saying.

Amorie & Farr in a space capsule.  The gemini space capsule.  Not a space shuttle.  Not even close to a space shuttle.  Don't call it a shuttle.  That would be bad.

Disneyworld was a blast.   Amorie didn't really understand what was going on, but she loved the Buzz Lightyear ride.  Good to get her started young. 

I started putting photos back on flickr.  I'm making all the photos that could be a problem private for family.  You have to have a flickr account to view them so if you want to see those, let me know.  It's just bathtime and her sleeping with her butt in the air kind of stuff.

Ok, so for those of you who have been following the photo a day of Amorie (on flickr), you have noticed that I haven't posted in a little while.  It's because I put a photo of Amorie on a little while ago with her standing on the coffee table in her diaper.  It got almost 300 hits.  I normally get 20-30 hits.  Once I realized that that photo was so active, I was completely disgusted and stopped posting.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet.  Probably just make my posts private.  If anyone is interested in getting an invite for that, let me know.  I'm still pretty appalled .  We'll see.

Smith Family photos.

 For your viewing pleasure, I posted our family photos on flickr. Martine, let me know which ones you want. I haven't done any processing to them so I can play with the colors a bit and what not. I was also going to crop them. Hope everyone enjoys.

Thanksgiving dinner.

1-Delicious turkey which I had nothing to do with (On the cooking side. I did much on the eating side.) except provide moral support, which can be very difficult. I guess you could say I did all the hard work.
2-Mouthwatering, savory stuffing with celery chopped by you know who. I know what your thinking. "Even from this distance, those celery look like they have been chopped by an angel. Oh that my celery were chopped that perfectly."
3-My cool new gravy boat. Erin and I both got gravy boats for the dinner. Mine is the cool one. Her's is the less cool one.
4-My pesky daughter trying to steal a spoon from the table.
5-Lip smacking hand-mashed potatoes. Need I say more?

Happy Thanksgiving.

Ok, so I haven't posted in a while. I've been pretty busy. This week I promise. If you want to know what is going on with Amorie, check my flickr account. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/chickysmith) I try to leave comments about her. Farr and I are pretty are the same old same old.

Happy Halloween from the Frankensteins.

Yesterday we went to Kohls so Farr could get some clothes for his new job and I saw these shoes that I loved. Now for those of you who have seen me walk lately, I know what your thinking. "Don't do it Autumn. You have so much to live for." I mean, look at the size of that heal! But I love them. Plus they were only 15 dollars when they were 50. I had to get them. I think most women will agree. It needed to be done.

A little update.

So I realized that I have been very pathetic at updating the blog because I've been concentrating on the flickr blog/thingy. So things here are going well. Farr was given a tentative offer for a job at the University of Phoenix as a Marketing Account Manager. We are just waiting for the background check to clear. Hopefully he didn't do anything to wild at BYU. You never know. I kinda like having him around. Amorie is awesome. We dig her. She has learned how to open and close doors. I just learned how to do that. She's a genius. I am working on starting my photography business. I am booked up for November. Scary. I've been putting a lot of my practice photos of Amorie online at my flickr account if anyone wants to take a look. The link is to the right. That's pretty much it. We're dull.
