I am fairly sure if you logged onto AIM more often, you’d jump out of your funk — oh yeah, and don’t over-schedule yourself, silly!
May 30, 2006 - 5:16 pm
oh seeing this really makes me know i need a vacation. so glad you had a good time. three cheers for camp funk-be-gone!

That sounds like so much fun Shannon! The background of the photo looks breathtaking. I wish I could visit your part of the country sometime, I’m obviously not around any ocean…just lots of big lakes and rivers!

Thanks for letting us crash at your house!
June 1, 2006 - 5:57 pm
Oh wow, that would take me out of my funk for sure! Good for you, your family is beautiful- can’t wait to see some good layouts!

WOW – when you said we rented a beach house for a couple of days I thought for just your family not YOUR WHOLE family! How awesome. I am so glad you did that!

Isn’t Bodega Bay awesome? We rented a place there on the beach for a scrapping retreat and it was the best vacation ever.
Isn’t it fun hanging out with family?

You’re such a cool mom, Shannon!! Love your story! and hope I never come in contact with your awesome kicking skills! : )
May 19, 2006 - 9:43 pm
that is cool Mom.. way cool. 
May 19, 2006 - 10:52 pm
don’t you just love when you’re thought of as the “cool mom”! and how easily impressed the young ones can be! if only they remained as easily impressed when they got to the teenage years! lol!

Why am I picturing you making yourself a SuperMom cape this weekend!?
May 20, 2006 - 4:10 pm
You are seriously a rockstar. AND QUITE A BALL KICKER. 
May 20, 2006 - 4:10 pm
bless the neither shopped for or prepared lunch.
that’s my favorite kind of lunch too.
i love it when i overhear that i am a cool mom.
it’s pretty rare, but i love it.
and i could never get it from kicking a ball.
laughter maybe but not cool mom.
cause i would most likely miss the ball and end up on my behind.
and really thats not very cool.

Cute story! You ARE a cool Mom!
May 20, 2006 - 10:08 pm

I bet you were FABULOUS! If I lived closer I would have been there in the front row with my notebook and pen! You rawk!
May 18, 2006 - 1:24 pm
Shannon Montez is that you???? This is your long lost friend Kent. Can you fit me into your photogrpahy/house cleaning/yard fixing schedule some time?
May 18, 2006 - 6:01 pm
i bet your class was great.
i have to admit that i am glad it is you having company,
and NOT me.
my house is soooo not company ready right now.
not even close.
have a great time at the beach.
and take lots of pics that you can use at your next class.
May 18, 2006 - 6:32 pm
Shannon,
The class was the best. I loved seeing all of your photos and layouts, (especially the before and after, wow!, cropping who woulda thought)you are one talented girl! I am shocked to hear that you were in any way nervous or sweating! You were a pro, obviously at ease talking about something you love so much, uh… photography and those gorgeous kids!!! Really it was a great class and I am looking forward to this weekend where I will get off that PROGRAM mode and try some new things.
Thanks!

May 22, 2006 - 11:24 pm
darn, darn, darn…I wanted to take this class. I bet you did great.
May 27, 2006 - 10:26 pm
I bet you were Fabulous girl!!! Sounds like a great class!
May 29, 2006 - 11:13 pm

Hey, I think this is twice in a row that I commented first!!! I’m so awesome. Anyway, I just got back from the mall like 5 minutes ago and i feel THE SAME WAY. So frustrating. Lots of cute stuff…that would NEVER fit me. I thought I needed a swim suit for the “COAST CLASSIC” but now I’m just thinking that I need a baggy t-shirt and shorts and I’ll swim in that 
May 16, 2006 - 4:21 pm
I hear you, I’ve been feeling this exact same way lately… just need something to get out of the funk…
May 16, 2006 - 8:20 pm
I can SO relate to that!
May 16, 2006 - 10:34 pm
1. would welcome the rain…the best excuse for a funk
2. my ‘do’ list is so long…staring at the walls reamins the only thing I’ve accomplished (quite successfully)
3. went to the mall…tried on tons…bought the cute stuff that I’d fit in IF/WHEN I lost 10 pounds…REALLY screwed-up my attempts at Oprah’s Debt Diet!
Oh man…I am certifiable!
May 17, 2006 - 8:16 pm
total YES on the opening sentence . . .
and LOVE these family pics . . . WOW . . .
May 17, 2006 - 10:08 pm
i’m in a funk lately too! maybe it’s the sudden change in weather we had … i’m not that far from you in cali! we went from weeks on end of rain … to 90 degree heat! that can’t be good for anyone! i have so much i want to do … and yet i have no desire to do anything!

Ohmigosh….it’s US!! Had so much fun during the shoot, and even more fun drooling over the pics! Can’t possibly choose. (and yes, Noah definitely rules our family – no doubt!!)
Just a testament to how talented you really are Shannon
