Weekend News

Another eventful weekend for the Smith fam. I swear, we have been so busy I am almost glad summer is coming to an end. Not that I can complain, but I'm tired! Of course, winter will come and I will curse it until it's over, so se la vie. Saturday night Aydin danced at the Weber State half time. She was cute, showing off a little, but cute. Makena wanted nothing to do with dancing, but had a ball at the game. That may have been because Nana loaded her up on sugar, but she had a great time.



Then on Sunday we went to the State Fair. Aydin had been waiting all week to go, and even cleaned her room to keep on the "good side". It was super hot, (who knew!) and we were sweating the whole time, but the girls got to see the animals, ride the horses and play on the rides. But good lord, that place was expensive! For a corn dog, fries and small drink it was $13,50, and for $14 worth of tickets the kids went on two rides. Not to mention it was another $10 to go down the slide two times (of course Chad had to go with them, so he needed a ticket, too). All this on top of the price of admission. Good thing the fair only comes once a year...

Thats so cute! We didnt get into the animal barn. Aydin looked like she was loving the spotlight. Adorable. I have a picture of my kids going down the yellow slide too. I should add it.

Cute Pictures! The fair looks like so much fun, but the outrageous price is why we have never made it. I love Aydin's dance pictures, brings me back to my childhood... that is exactly why I need a girl. How fun!

Photography is a big part of Chad's life. He takes the most amazing pictures. Mostly landscapes, but he does a variety of everything. I am so proud of his work. For Christmas, I put together a portfolio of some of his favorites. I couldn't fit them all, but here is a view of some of his black and whites. He has a gift for capturing beauty in some of the most peculiar places.
