2011-10-25T12:05:00.000-05:00

Call me crazy, but I seem to only blog for amazingly awesome deals at this point!!! And of course, I want to past the awesome deals on to my "network" of bloggers!!

Remember the days of the daily post? Man, I really miss those days.

I miss all the comments, all the on-line comrodery, banter back and forth about our children, church and cooking!!! ;)

With so much on our to-do lists and no one figuring out how to clone humans just yet {I kid}.. I need a little help in the Christmas Card department ;)

My go to source for all things Holiday? {I never thought you would ask}...
SHUTTERFLY of course ;)

I'm just in LOVE with some of the designs this year and the ease of the site. I am totally placing several orders for Photo Books this year. My sister in law's wedding book that I have promised, a digital scrapbook for the boys, and for-sure a Nanna and Poppi book!

Let me just put it this way..Shutterfly is getting most of my disposable income this holiday season!!! ;)

Wanna get in on the goods? Do you blog? Want a chance at 25 free cards this holiday season?

Seriously..Christmas. That was the last time I blogged :(
Well, lots has been going on with our clan. New job for me (well almost a year ago) and that means that I have much less time to blog and catch up with all you ladies out there.

I miss everyone and hope that you are all doing well.

365 {305-324}

2010-12-05T17:35:00.000-06:00

Will I sign up for 365 again? Um, perhaps I am not the best example of what a 365 is all about. I have been taking pictures left and right, however I just can't seem to find the time to download them, let alone blog them.

I am feeling much like QB did when he received an "F" on one of his math exams....
You won't find me saying much but I am doing my best to not feel so stressed out about being behind....

Once again, thanks for being along for the ride...

365/305-309

365/310-315

I family that is in our small group at Church asked me if I could take a few shots for their Christmas Card. I was happy to do so, although, I have to say that I am totally an OUTDOOR photographer. It is were I am most comfortable. I was able to get enough shots for their card ;)

This is the logo that I have been playing around with. I like simple designs and my nick name is T Fenn so it makes sense to me....any feedback? I will take good and bad...

365/316-317

Guess who is playing Basketball AND Hockey...does that kid even take a collarbone injury seriously? Nope. Dr said, I think Basketball is fine and Hockey would be a no-go but your parents can decide that. If they want you in Goalie gear than I am OK with it... HA! No slowing him down..;)

365/318-324

This is my Christmas Card this year... if you are not on the mailing list, consider this our Seasons Greetings!

18" and counting.....WHY DO I LIVE HERE?

Why is this photo soo grainy. I am annoyed. Not at the editing but just by the pure crapiness of it all ;)

PS...my tree is all leany this year so I have dubbed it the "WHOVILLE TREE"...

Getting caught up!

Shutterfly's Sensational Season...

2010-11-24T14:20:00.000-06:00

What is one of the most stressful things for a mom, blogger, photographer, and anyone in between? Of course I am talking about the ever growing Christmas Card obsession! When do you start obsessing? I begin the second that all my cards have successfully made it into the mailbox for the current season! My mind is racing throughout the year, is THIS a photo that will make it into my next card? Will my creativity be outmatched by my best friend or neighbor? Perhaps...we are all searching for something PERFECT that depicts our families and the best messaging for the season.

Enter, SHUTTERFLY. Are they geniuses? In my opinion Y-E-S! I love companies who see a growing need for creativity and just reach out and grab it! Shutterfly has done just that with their Holiday lines this year.

Take for instance the Photo Christmas Cards, you would be downright silly not to find something to love, treasure and adore!

I have been big fan of the Personalized Mugs in previous years, for Grandma and Grandpa. To which they still murmur about what a great gift that is..(PS..thanks Shutterfly)!

Now, if you are an overachiever like most of my friends, you may have your Christmas and Holiday cards already done (and to you I say....whatever;) BUT you have not sent out those invitations for your Holiday Swaree...you can accomplish this in just minutes with all of the adorable options.

What will I do with my Shutterfly Christmas Cards this year?

Well.. since it is 2010...I am doing a FENN TOP 10 for 2010....Be on the lookout;)

2010-11-07T00:59:00.000-05:00

I can hardly believe that it has been a month...man, my days are flying by and I barely even spend time on the computer once I get home from work (just doesn't seem fair to the boys these days)!

So a quick 30 day recap:

*Job is super busy.....

*House Projects

*Boys Halloween (Donald Trump and Skeleton)

*QB broke his collarbone so we have been healing...

*Spending lots of time on school work (boys and studying..not so easy)!

*Quiet nights with my hubs snuggled on the coach;)

*I've been taking some photos of friends and family in my spare time...

Here is a 30 day collage recap as well. I am all about killing as many birds as possible so here goes 30!!!

I hope all of you are well...I look forward to catching up on some blogs today!!!

365 {268-274}

2010-10-05T23:51:00.000-05:00

Thats what I thought...no objections!

2010-08-22T12:15:00.000-05:00

I'm really starting to appreciate the value of a photograph. I just love the feeling of being behind the camera. And most importantly, I love the finished product. I believe that not only can you take a photograph is of a messy face kid, and edit it to be an insane masterpiece, but you can also appreciate some of God's Great Wonders in small things...so, this week my photos are NOT elaborate {perhaps they never have been} but very much ME enjoying some of the simple things....

Sunday

365-226

I love that my kids love orangutan's and monkeys. On our trip to the zoo,

I snapped this photo, and it just makes me think about how Sweet these animals truly are!

Monday

365-227

How many times can I put one of my guys faces up here and not feel blessed, they test my patience, they teach me unconditional love, they showed me that NO amount of baby wipes will go away while I am in the midst of parenting them!

Tuesday

365-228

I'm just appreciating the fact that BOTH of my boys can swim.

I can relax in a pool chair and this is one of GOD's biggest blessings to a Mom of 2 busy boys!

Wednesday

365-229

This is the SMALL things folks....the sun hitting the branches ever so slightly yet still providing shade,

every single little leaf in the exact same order, with the exact same beauty. Take a moment out of your day to lay underneath one of these for a few minutes and ALL seems right with the world!

Thursday

365-230

Water is soo relaxing and refreshing! When I read a story about how so many people in our world don't have clean water, and then I think about the OVER abundance that we have to the point where we make the most beautiful sculptures to help display it....We are truly blessed!

Friday

365-231

I'm thankful for innocence and genuine expressions that children have. It is hard for them to fake emotions so I love capturing something innocent that displays someones real personality.

Saturday

365-232

Most importantly, I am thankful that GOD made me. In all my imperfection, impatience, he still gets me! I'm thankful that he has given me the wrinkles, the laugh lines, the extra 25lbs that won't go away as a gentle reminder that I lived life and should be enjoying it more.....

What are you THANKFUL for this week?

365 {219-225}

2010-08-17T15:18:00.000-05:00

I'm traveling today on business and I am hoping that I can get all of you to say a little prayer for me.

I have been in the process of a new job, a really exciting opportunity & today I am flying to meet everyone face to face. I am totally at peace right now, a tad bit nervous but I know that God is in control.....

More to come.

Thanks for your prayers...

Typing from 33,000 feet ;)

Really Random....

2010-08-04T21:16:00.000-05:00

I can barely stand it anymore, I just have to get this off my mind and onto ~~virtual~~ paper. Does anyone else do this something weird? Is it just me? I could understand if I just started and it was just something that comes and goes...BUT IT IS NOT! I can't get rid of it and I am sort of annoyed at myself but I am holding it together for all of you....

So what do I do? {I'm so glad you asked}......

I memorize license plates....now here is the weird thing,
only if I know you and I know what car you drive.

So here is the deal, I am NOT a follower. I don't scope out your car for no reason but if you happen to be parked at Target and I know you...Guaranteed, I know your license plates...don't believe me...here is some freaky stuff and you know who you are:

VER 406

141 DEG

CUW 041

SAY 110

UGL 641

784 BDG (that one is mine)

Ahhh...

something tells me that I will be able to sleep like a baby tonight

now that that is off my chest!

365 {198-211}

2010-08-03T00:07:00.000-05:00

Two weeks behind is beginning to become the norm for me with my 365.
I don't consider it overwhelming but I have to say that once you get behind,
it is rather tough to actually stay caught up!

If only there was some service out there that uploaded your photos for you {hint hint Mimi}...

Well, I am not doing a collage this week but I am going to get caught up tonight.
So get ready to scroll!!!

2010-07-31T08:00:00.031-05:00

My boys are born 3 years and 8 days apart and still people ask me all the time

"Are they Twins?"

*Maybe I should stop making them match right about now!*

Again, I can hardly believe that my little, little tiny baby is now 6!

He is BIG TIME now!

So here are the top 6 things I love about this little munchkin:

1. He is truly a grateful child! His heart is very pure and genuine. I love how sweet he is!

2. He is NEVER clean! Honestly, I wish I was kidding but it is IMPOSSIBLE for him to be clean..Just Deal!

3.He looks up to his big brother and loves to hang with his Dad at the baseball game!

4. His favorite team behind the Twins is "Boston Green Socks". Yes, he re-named them.

5. His favorite color is green!

6. His favorite food is Noodles...any kind of Noodles!

We love you & Wish you the Happiest 6th Birthday!

Love-

Mom, Dad & QB!

My Baby is 9...

2010-07-23T00:26:00.000-05:00

He was due to arrive August 23rd, 2001. HE had a different plan.

After an entire plate full of peanut butter cookies and laying on the couch....

I got up, my water broke, and my world changed FOREVER.

Little did I know that just 9 short years later that HE would teach me some of life's greatest lessons.

Here are 9 things that I LOVE about my 9 year old....

Happy Birthday Baby!

1. He loves God and asks me frequently how many times he can

"pray" to ask God into his heart.

{I think he just wants to make sure}!

2. He has more math power in his pinkie that I do in my whole body...

yes, he is my TIP calculator!

3. He is a great big brother...

give or take a punch or two!

4. He has a lot of great ideas that could turn into something big for him.

{I expect all of you to buy the Roboball}!

5. He has grown 3 inches in the past year and his shoe size is 4.

6. His FAVORITE food is Spaghetti and Meatballs & The Meatball sub @ Subway.

Who can blame him?

7. His current idea for his profession is a Sportscaster.....

Can I get a S-Y-R-A-C-U-S-E?

8. He absolutely can NOT get enough of sports.

He loves it all! Baseball, Football, Basketball, Soccer, Hockey ;)

9. He is LOVED by his family for everything he is now,

and everything he is about to become!

WE LOVE YOU!!!

Happy 9th Birthday!!!!

Mom, Dad & Brother

A very STORMY night in our area, lots of tornados looming and our neighborhood was very OMINIOUS with this color sky in the background...QB and Dad love to watch the storms and when this color sky came out, they called me out to snap a photo....

I have NEVER seen that color sky before...;)

Till Next Week...what does your week look like in photos?

365 {170-190}

2010-07-14T01:27:00.002-05:00

Sometime I bite off ~~an INSANE~~ a little bit more than I can chew!

I had no idea that Summer was going to be soo crazy for us.

I can hardly believe that the 4th of July is over...where does the time go?

So, apparently I need to get caught up on my 365..so, lets rol1!

Does not get any more simple than that!!! ;)

WHAMO...BAMMO...Caught up!

Happy 4th of July Weekend.....

2010-07-02T18:04:00.000-05:00

OK, I won't think to myself that Summer is a down hill slide from here...

or maybe I will sense I just typed it!

Hope you all have a BLESSED 4th of July &

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

to all our Soldiers for the Freedom you provide us!

We are cabin bound.....

OK-OK so the arrest might have been a roadside safety clinic or a littering bust...you decide!
Did I have you all fooled?
*Yes, I know I am good like that!*
Now, onto my belated 365 post!

Sunday

Tuesday

Bow Falls to be exact here...

AMAZING!

Wednesday

365-167

We took the boys to the Banff "Hot" Springs which is natures HOT TUB.

The pools are naturally 129 degrees and have minerals that your body almost NEVER receives so these are like a dream come true...the boys LOVED them!

Thursday

365-168

Our Fathers Day shoot was at Bow Falls and we took the boys up to the Banff Springs Hotel.

On our way to the hotel, the rocky mountain squirrells just come out of no where. You have to pretend that you are feeding them but you can not feed them anything...they are adorable!!!

Friday

365-169

This is Lake Louise. Um, I am pretty speechless at this place. Words can't really describe it. My husband always told me yet, I was an unbeliever until I truly saw it with my own eyes. Believe me when I say that you have GOT to put this place on your MUST See's. God really had us in mind when he made this place. The stress melts off you like ice cream on a cone....

Speaking of Ice Cream melting on a cone.....

Saturday

365-170

After a 2 mile hike up to Johnston Canyon we rewarded the boys with some ice cream!

These boys have become pretty good hikers!

365 {143-149}

2010-05-30T00:00:00.000-05:00

Ah, these posts are getting easier and it takes the owness off of me in the week to gather up a post every day. Given the shuffle of my new job, kids and working out, it is insane to try and squeeze penmanship into the mix!
I mean Shoot, I can barely wash, dry and get the clothes put away these days!

But I am pretty postitive that I met my new Hair Stylist today...

Craig Curtis, ~~WATCH OUT~~ your gonna love me!

What did your week look like in pictures????

Field Trips, Friends and Fretting About Futures

2010-05-19T00:47:00.000-05:00

Today was a big day in our house!

Receiver had his Kindergarten field trip!

I remember taking QB on this same trip and man has the time flown by {anyone else feel like that?}.

Also, QB had to memorize a Shel Silverstein poem and read it aloud to a small auditorium filled with parents, teachers and grandparents..HE DID AWESOME!

And, he made a 3rd grade Poem book...Yep- I cried ;)

You can tell his poppy is a pastor because he had ZERO issue with stage fright!!!

We had some great times today, it is soo fun to see my littlest guy with his buddies!

However, I have a serious question I need to pose to all of you that have had children on the cusp of the birthday/school saga.

It was very evident to me today that Receiver is YOUNG.

I mean I had 2 kids in my group that are turning 7 in 3 weeks and they are heading into 1st grade in the fall.

I guess I am having a dilemma because I have enrolled receiver in Kindergarten and he is 3 weeks away from completion. Aside from his eyeglasses which give him problems with his sight, and his writing/reading he is absolutley fine in the comprehension department. In fact higher than I expected in some areas

{does NOT come from his Mom}.

So- my question to all of you is, have you ever had a child REPEAT Kindergarten?

What are your thoughts on that because I waiver between NO WAY I can not mentally do that to him and YES, it would be great for him to get an additional year of maturity under his belt before the smack down of first grade happens.......

Sometimes I wish I could just roll a dice...but this is BIG STUFF FOR ME!!!

Do share! I need some help!

Here are a couple of pics from our fun day@ the zoo!

365 {122-135}

2010-05-16T00:50:00.000-05:00

My 365 has been taking a serious beating lately. I have been on a roll with the whole collage thing but I know that is not the best way to highlight my photography, so I am back to regular photos...I promise not to be too lengthy!

A Massive 365 Catch-Up {080-108}

2010-04-25T17:45:00.000-05:00

I am finally going to make this easy on myself. I have been taking photos

{yes, some mundane and massively boring but photos nontheless} the entire time but I have just not had time to upload, edit and make them really great! But, guess what? I don't care anymore! I need to just wipe this off my to-do list so that I don't feel like a total waste of the 365 project so here is the recap:

1. Visit San Diego for 4 days and take way too many awesome shots in Balboa Park. I am working with some VERY accomplished photogs...it makes me very nervous to hang with this group of people, but they are soooo amazing!

2. Received our dog back and then got rid of him again...FINAL ANSWER: we are NOT an animal family.

3. Hair / No Hair. The baldness prevails at our house.

4. Cooking...lots to eat this last month ;)

5. Spring is here in some really random ways ;)

The boys school carnival and with our favoritest principal on the planet.

He is retiring at the end of this year, and I just can't seem to shake it.

We are totally going to miss this guy.

He is an AMAZING role model {and Christian} for our boys to learn from!

What did you week look like in pictures?

365 Project 045-051

2010-02-21T00:00:00.001-06:00

Currently, I am thinking that I will have tons of time to blog and get caught up.

For some reason, that is just NOT happening.

So, once again here I go with what my week shaped up like:

Sunday *365/045

Carnival Silent Auction Baskets for Kids School.

Seems to me like these things should go for a million bucks after all the blood,

sweat and tears that I poured into them!!!

Monday *365/045

I need some help here. I love the Red that is in the kitchen and living room, however I need an update. I also love the yellow color but I am feeling like it matches too closely to my woodwork...what would you do? Add more brown? Keep the red? Honestly, I am all ears on this one!

Tuesday *365/046

I worked a lot today so here is a little bit of what my work is about (at least for the time being).

Wednesday *365/047

Here is one of my recent scrapbook pages.

I have been meaning to photograph some so that I have them on the blog as well.

Thursday *365/048

Spent some time dealing with our taxes this year.

Normally we have an accountant but Turbo Tax is working just fine for the Eyeglasses & Endzone Clan!

Friday *365/049

These pillows were kind of my inspiration for the painting of yellow in my house. I also have TONS of brown so I thought they went well...Aren't they cool?

Saturday *365/051

So today was one of the 1st days that we have not had to pull out the snow boots. So.....I grabbed my favorite ROCKET DOGS and they are sooooo comfy! I love SPRING! Hurry up and come please!

Hope you are all having a marvelous week!

2010-02-14T18:26:00.000-06:00

Sorry I am a little behind on my post this week. For some reason, it was CRAZY hectic! I really wanna just throw on my sweats and veg but it is VALENTINES DAY...so LOVE my family I MUST!!! ;)

*365/038

Week of maddening homework.

So this is what a 3rd grade book report looks like!

*365/039

I've had this rug since this past summer and now I am going to be painting to match the rug.....

oh, this will be a BIG project!

*365/040

Although NOT beautiful for commuters...this was just GORGEOUS this week.

I love when snow STICKS to the trees!

*365/041

For all the people who might think I am soo clean...this darn closet is my arch nemesis...GRRR

*365/042

Can you see the paint swatch? YES, I am painting OVER red...WHAT am I thinking?

*365/043

I received a rose for Valentines day, and it was this really cool hybrid kind...

so, I edited it and made it look AMAZING (if I do say so myself)!

*365/044

My sister in law has moved from Africa and is beginning to sell these really great handbags. She asked me to come over and photograph a couple...They are SOOO amazing!

Till next week!

2010-02-13T11:28:00.001-06:00

OK, So YES we had some kind of hic-cup in the comment department.

I edited my previous F4AF post and set it to publish.

Then when it published my old post went away and my comments from my old post stayed!!!

So, We had 89 comments on the previous post and 62 on this current post.

So I used RANDOM.ORG and only placed 62 as the highest number (*your welcome*)

Without any further...........

The winner is: AMANDA

from POPPING OUT ONE LETTER @ A TIME!

So get me your digits girl...so I can get you your goods ASAP!!!

2010-02-07T20:52:00.000-06:00

Yes, I am still alive.

I kind of feel that with this 365 project, there is just not a ton of time to fit in other blog posts so if you guys are getting bored, I understand. I will try to spice it up soon...when, I am just not sure!!

Here goes this weeks photos:

*365/031

Sunday I went snow tubing and snapped a photo of this guy who was just slammin down the hill.

I love his expression!

*365/032

Monday I bought this little dresser for $19.00 at a consigment shop...isn't is adorable..and a STEAL!

I love stuff like this, I just can't decide if I keep it the way it is or paint it some really great color for fun!

*365/033

Tuesday, I changed out the "QUOTES" on this little board in my living room.

I love to be inspired by small notes to myself!!

*365/034

Wednesday- I was a little tired of doing everything myself...so I pulled out the ol Job Chart!

I love bossing my kids around ;)

*365/035

Thursday - I tried to do a little light reading...Um,

I love that light reading constitutes 385 pages of nothing but actions...ahhhh

*365/036

Friday- I saw this woman wearing this OLD scarf and I ask her if I could take a photo of it.

I love that there are really cool people who let me ravage them for an awesome photo!

*Bonus* We love the Olympics @ this blog!!!

*365/037

Saturday - We took the boys to the Gopher Hockey Skate.

I love how excited my boys get when they are with "Future NHL Players"!

365/024

A mild obsession with Chips & Salsa puts me at Chili's every so often

365/026

Current Favorite Colors...remind me of SPRING and NOT boring winter!!!

365/027

Wanted to eat these......

325/028

But these got in the way!!! ;)

365/029

Finally had to break down and get some used skates...guess having a mom in figure skates is embarrasing...WHO Knew??
