Happy St. Patty's Birthday (3) Weston!I sat and pondered about how I could recap my trip. So much occurred in such a short period of time. I thought about back logging by dates, but just couldn't find the time or energy to do so. (but still need to do that for personal reasons). My baby's 3rd birthday came and went. Spring break over. Easter gone. I sometimes feel like my life is flashing before me. I never believed my mom when she said time travels much too quickly. (And argued with her on numerous occasions about this subject matter) I am beginning to feel those pangs as my children are getting older by the second. Yes, I am still trying to recover from our 2 hour time zone change and get my groove back on. I am finding it hard to balance life right now and some how fit in my hobbies (blogging). Since we have been back I have frantically been trying to get our house ready to be placed on the market. I have been busting my tail (hence my lack of posting), and hopefully my sweat will be paying off. Photos seem to be my "easy" way of telling a story, so here it goes.....
I had the opportunity to chat with April (who is also in my inlaws ward) on two different Sundays.I love reading her thoughts if you haven't checked out her blog you are seriously missing out!
Eating at OreganosSeeing how much weight Justin has lost (he looks so great!)
Going over to my best friend Courtney of 25 years home to chat.Time may have passed, but our friendship has not.
Picking oranges at Grandma and Papa's house
Playing at Grandma Hughes' in the backyard
Grilling hot dogs with Dad C in beautiful weather
Spending time with my mom
The Easter bunny treated us well
soaking up tender moments
Realizing that trying to take photos on Easter of your kids proves to be challenging.What is up with pirate Luke?
Is her hair really that long? Holy cow!
watching all the cousins grab over 200 eggs
Still trying to wrap my mind around buying this piece of dirt.
Celebrating our 12th Easter together, selling our first home and FINALLY moving back to our roots,it really is surreal!
blessing: having a happy marriage

Pirate Luke made me laugh out loud, Jenny! So cute.
I'm glad you had such a great (but whirlwind!) trip. It was also great to see you with one of my best friends -- isn't April great??
I totally feel you with the time passing you by too quickly sentiment. Good luck with getting the house on the market. I know how all consuming that can be.
A great photo recap. Such excitement on your horizon.
Great recap Jenny! It is amazing how quickly life goes by and the changes that come with it. I am the same as you. I use to think time went by sooo slowly, but now it just speeds by! Good luck with getting the house on the market!!
Looks like great memories to remind you of the whirlwind. Pirate Luke will probably turn out to be one of your favorite pictures in about 20 years, remembering his personality as a little guy.
congrats on the new house. that is so great! moving back near family will be so much fun. i'm jealous! maybe someday! glad the trip was great. hopefully you get feeling back to normal soon!
Pirate Luke, too cute!
Looks like you packed a whole lot into that trip!
I want MY new piece of dirt! Our house has been on the market almost 6 weeks and so far, nothing. It's so frustrating.
Your recap was perfect - so many fun pictures and memories! It is hard to believe that time flies so quickly - especially when it used to seem like life was so so slow. Luke's picture is hilarious and your photo at the end is really sweet! Take care!
I love your cute dress.
You are going to love living near family. I'm so happy for you.
Good luck as your bust your tail. I think it'll be work very worthy of your time.
I think pictures are the best way to tell a story!
I'm so excited that things are going well for you. Good luck with selling your house.
Your kids are adorable. Love that brother pic.
Some may hate them but I miss those cinder brick 'fences'. I love private back yards. I'm so excited for your piece of dirt. So much on your horizon.
I hear ya on the Easter photo. Or any photo that involves all 4. I love Pirate Luke. So cute.
I wish I could slow time down. I know I'm missing so much with the hurried pace of life. It's a bit sad.
A picture says 1000 words, right?
Taylor's hair is gorgeous!
I love the photo recap Jenny, thanks! That's a great photo of you and Doug and Luke pulling on Weston's tie is funny. Taylor's hair is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. Congrats on your dirt purchase...how exciting.
I couldn't agree more about time passing so quickly!! I'm glad you had a nice trip. Pictures speak a 1000 words!! :)
Fun pictures to look at and it looks like you had a great Spring Break and Easter!
Love the family pictures! Your kids are so cute!
Congratulations for this big step in your life!! I hope you are excited about the big changes happening!
Busy week. Wow he hair is so beautiful.
Pictures are a great way to tell a story! Time does go too quickly...WAY too quickly! I am so excited for you guys to be moving back to where your families are and to be buying a new home. So much change for you! I am sure the next few months are going to be very busy for you!
A great recap...so glad you had your camera with you that Sunday. Your last sentence said it all...you've been on quite a journey together and finally coming "home."
You've been crazy busy!
It's hard to believe that I'll be in your shoes in a year. Sounds like an insanely crazy time, but I cant wait.
I can't believe you'll be leaving so soon. Sad!
It is overwhelming to recap... I think you made a good choice (better than the ones I have made to just skip big chunks of time). I enjoyed seeing your pictures. I love the pirate picture and Taylor's hair is so pretty!
Such a great photo recap. I am sure you feel like you have so much to do. exciting to have so many wonderful changes coming your way. :)
What a fun trip!! It is so exciting that your life in the place you want it to be...Doug finished with his schooling...moving back home...etc. Fun!!
