all in all. . . it has been a fun ride. seeing family is always wonderful. . . and so is having a new home.

but. . . glad to be home and have things less insane. . . like knowing where my toothbrush is! seriously. it got to that point! ;) moving is the pits! don't want to do it again until we leave Buffalo. let's hope we don't have too.

here are some random pics of the events. . . more to come! :)

this is a REAL place in Utah. . . isn't that funny? it was SO retro and cute. . . didn't eat there. . . maybe next time when Pace is actually with us!

Pace has had his own dairy place since 1957 :) go figure

Casa Loma in Toronto, Canada. . . that is my parents and the girls in the bottom of the pic. . . if you look with a microscope you can see how happy they are :)

one of my FAV thrift finds in Utah. . . i took home TWO suitcases full of thrifting junk! tee hee :)

wouldn't you just love a print of this? me too!

Indiana and Avery loving each other on a fairy mushroom. . . they have a new area in Disneyland called "Pixie Hollow" (it is where "Ariel's Grotto used to be. . . for all you Disneyland lovers!). . . it was SO adorable and frankly magical!

did i mention we got to actually meet Tinker Bell!?! it was pretty awesome :)

my sister Sarah, Kennedy and me on the "Chew Chew Train" in bug's land. . .

it it a ride where you ride on Heimlich from Bug's Life and see all of the foods he loves to eat. . . Candy Corn, my favorite! :)

can you see my Indy? she ran right up to Sully and just snuggled him the ENTIRE time! couldn't get a great shot of her looking. . . but isn't that just sweet! my monster snuggler! i also love how Liam (my nephew) is just like, "Yo, what's up Sully!"

all the kids on a flower in Pixie Hollow. . . hard to get a shot with every single kid looking! especially when my two girls are involved! well. . . maybe it's just Indiana. . . that stinker!
