happy new year everyone!
back from cancun.
here are a few pictures from the trip.
keith used his blackberry to take the pictures of me…
here i am before we left…nervous i am sure.
and thank you keith for this lovely "ive taken xanax" picture from the plane.
this is view of hotel’s (fiesta americana grand coral beach) pool and beach from our room’s balcony.
and the beautiful ocean waves.
and the kids, my sister stacy and me riding the waves…small wave!
kids (our kids and friends’ kids) and keith on float in the ocean.
keith and our kids saluting some dolphins at xcarat- this sort of amusement park place an hour away from cancun… we did NOT like it very much but the kids did love interacting with the dolphins…
pretty sunset.
my sister’s kids..and mine.
at the airport waiting to go home- there was a crazy delay and security was intense…everyone was patted down and all bags searched. (note: i did wear same thing going to cancun and coming home!)
and ofcourse, keith had his phone and took the opportunity to photograph me, once again, knocked out on the way home!
we had a great time.
but i am thrilled to be home.

Jen-love the pics. Thank you for sharing.
Looks like you went FIRST CLASS! Nice – wish I was somewhere warm as well.
Jen- Looks like your family had a great vacation. Thanks for sharing the pics. Happy New Year. Can’t wait for new shows.
Thank you for sharing the pictures, Jennifer. What a beautiful vacation. Would you recommend the hotel?
Thanks for the photos. The water looks gorgeous!! Can’t wait to hear you & Alexis tomorrow.
Beautiful pictures and very beautiful Family I can imagine what you and Alexis ( and Paul ) will be up to on Mon. Alexis you are making great strides !!!!!!! Proud of you
Your sweet, adorable, face that wants to be gently kissed goodnight…
Glad you made it home ok. Hate the new rules at the airport thanks to one crazy person. Looks like the weather was perfect. How was the food? What did you eat? Tell us about it on the show tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing new shows.
Great pix. I lol’d thinking you told the kids and cousins to smile, oh but face the other way cuz this one’s for the blog.
I’m happy you, and your family, had a great time. I love the adorable “Rip Van WInkle” shots. I wish I had your hair! It’s to sigh for. Oh,in reference to the shot of the “kids,” on the shore – backs to the camera — is your daughter the girl in the middle? She looks like a mini-Jenn. The children are growing up FAST! Happy New Year!
Love the knocked out photos. Also wondering about the hotel…which one and would you reccomend?
loved the pics. it’s the best when the kids are having fun. enjoyed the ” best of” but looking forward to new stories!!!
Jennifer, you are such a friendly person and are always informing people of your life..I LOVE IT!!!! CUZ I COULD NEVER AFFORD IT…KEEP ON GIVING!!!
Thanks for sharing Jen. You are so pretty and I love your hair. How nice to be somewhere warm for you. Looks like you all had a nice time.:)
Happy New Year, Jen. The pictures are beautiful. Getting tired of looking at ths snowy day in Connecticut.
Happy to see you having a good time.
Making great memories is the best!
Ummm, YOU WENT IN TO THE WATER!!!! You weren’t doing that before were you? New Year, new life, new fun, new experiences! I wish you NO anxiety and much peace and love. So happy you enjoyed the full fun times with your family, NO FEAR!! HURRAY!
welcome HOME!
Love the top pic, gorgeous!
I am surprised that Xanax knocks you out. I take Xanax in order to fly, and I don’t get sleeping, I just “forget” that I am afraid to fly. It takes the edge off. Great pictures, glad you had fun.
HI Jennifer, thank you so much for sharing!! Love the photos Keith took and the fact that you post them :)) Good to hear that you enjoyed the sunshine we are in the middle of summer here in Sydney and so far the weather has been hideous! It is looking promising at the moment sunshine is finally out – might finally get to the beach tomorrow!! Take care and much happiness for the new year!
Where did you purchase your fluffy red neck pillow? It looks so full and sturdy. Every one of mine always go flat on me. Thanks!
Made it home just in time, another crazy was in Newark airport… I can only pity anyone trying to fly tomorrow! Glad you had a fun trip! One last thing… is there a DVD set of Whatever Martha (if there is I am an idiot cause I cant find it) cause that would be a super help to my DVR ha ha ha you guys should totally work on making that happen as a special favor to me 🙂
Used to stay at the Fiesta Americana, now wouldn’t stay anywhere but the Ritz Carlton. Its away from the downtown touristy stuff, but still has lots for the kids to do. Cabo is still the best, but takes toooo long from NY! If you do make it there, Las Ventanas is great.
GOD….your hair is gorgeous.
Really.
Glad to see vacation pictures rather than face pictures. Thanks for posting.
You have gorgeous hair–love that first pic…Do you just blow out your hair or do you use rollers as well? Cheesy question I know, but I love it! Thanks for sharing your pics!
hey cinnamon, not a cheesy question! my hair had been blown the night before we left. typically it is either blown out by someone else OR i let it dry naturally and then after it is dry i use a hot tools curling iron to finish it. there is a youtube video of my sister and i curling my hair (youtube.com/jennyhutt)… hope this helps!
I second Jen in ATL & Cinnamon, and almost asked the same question. The color is great … did I hear you say once that you do it yourself? It’s beautiful!
Thanks for the reply…will be checking out the Youtube video!
Jennifer,
The picture at the end of the blog speaks for itself. Take care of yourself and continue throught the grieving process.

Jenny, dont feel bad about looking horrible after taking Xanex! When I was in a car accident, they rushed me to shock trauma here in maryland and they gave me something thats stronger than morophine and my dear god, I looked horrible! and I was making the nurses real nervous because I kept messing with the machines LOL
I was watching you this morning on Martha and you were talking about loosing your mom. I lost my childrens father about 6 months ago. I am really having a hard time dealing with it. My children are Bryant 15, Taylor 13, and Isaiah 8 and it is so hard on them as well. They are in counseling. I cry all the time. My kids were with him when he died. My 8 yr old son was laying in bed with him and he had to wake up and his daddy was dead. I just hurt so bad for my kids. Can you maybe tell me how you cope? I know they hurt so bad as well. As amother we try and protect our kids and I just so much hurt and pain. I know that TIME is somthing that will help but I am trying to take all the pain for them and Icant and that hurts. So if you have ant suggestions just please just let me know. Thanks so much. You women are awsome.
Thanks
Leeanna
Jennifer I’m sorry about the death of your mom:( I too have lost mine. I just watched you guys on Marthas show and learned of your mom, read what you wrote here and you describe your relationship much how I felt about my mom. I watch my daughter roll her eyes at 28 years old as I tell her things and know I too will live on in her heart forever! I also tell my daughter “I am the only one who will be honest with you” There is a lot of truth to that because as a mom when your child hurts you hurt so in an effort to help sometimes you have to be brutal to say things that might hurt feelings to do what “you think as a mother” might help keep her in someway not to embarrass herself,hurt herself or to someway show your love as a mom. Sounds like your mom was on top of things and loved you very much.. To miss her so is to know how deep you loved her and how much of an impact she had on your life “to your mom “Well Done”….To you continue to let her best live through you its the best a mom can hope for in a daughter…,My daughter is a chef and I have my recipes in my head have never been organized in my life…Our relationship reminds me of the Whatever Show the witty comments ect..Love you guys and wish you much success….Your little friend there I feel will be honest with you as well….:)
Hi Jen,
I feel for you with the loss of your Mother. I have lost my Mother, too, in a way. My mother is very old and has dementia. My Mother is not my Mother anymore. I grieve for the one I have lost. Then I feel guilty because she is still here, even though different. Sometimes I wish she had just died, then I cry and feel horrible.
I have a serious medical condition, I worry what will become of her if things go badly with me. I pray a lot.
Alexis and Jennifer-
You both are so classy and very beautiful. I can truely related with Alexis and her mother. Alexis with the attitude and tears on Martha’s Show today talking about the death you your mother, Alexis.
I would love to see pictures of your condos and your style of decorating. Alexis, I started vegan and have lost 45 lbs since July. Feel much better and much more fun dressing with your style.
Aloha and Mahalo!

Ok you just don’t look like you are going to be 40, I just turned 41 in sept. Happy birthday early. It looks like you had a well deserved vacation. I am so sorry you have lost your mom. I lost my mother almost 14 years ago now. Its hard for a little while but it gets easier as the years pass. even still i find myself bursting into tears thinking of her at the holidays, when i am sad and would like her ear to talk to. Good luck with your family and all that you do in life.
Dear Jennifer,
I just saw you on MS and I write you with little tears slipping down my cheeks. My own grief bubbled up hearing you speak (and then write) about your Mother. I am So Sorry for your loss.I was touched by your rememberances…I miss my own Mom so much. It has been 3 years since she passed away. I am not over losing her. Time has lessened my grief… I love and laugh and enjoy living…yet my rudder, my friendly guide has left me…I too am different wthout her…and so saddened by missing her. I hope this new decade is joy filled, optimistic and creative for all of us fragile little humans. oh, Great HAIR ! too. Yours,Ketchie
Love the pics but I love all the pics of you I think your absolutly georgous sorry if my spelling is wrong but you get the idea
Wow, I love hotel. I have stayed there a few years back. They had an amazing spanish restaurant from what I remember. Looks like you had a fab time.
Dear Jennifer, In the first pic w/you sleeping with your head forward you look just like Lindsay Lohan. BTW, You need a root touch up
Honey switch to Attivan next time, same effect with no side effect.
