Goodbye Emily Hello Trevor and Fam!

I
Another week whizzed by, in preparation for Trevor's family's move and filled with our last week of Emily. 

On Monday Emily had her friend Katie for a visit and we ended up going out to lunch. Katie announced that she's expecting, which is such exciting news!! 
After lunch we headed to the Maceys in Lehi, so Emily's kids could experience a King Kong Kone, that she had built up to an epic adventure in their minds!! 
When we got there Dad was working there, which is why she chose that one. So was Josh Allen, Emily's former boss.
She really enjoyed all the grocery talk, those were the days!!! 
Here she introduces the kids to the epic of her youth. 
She split it in half for practical purposes and William snarffed his down. He didn't even need help with drips, but was wildly shivering by the time he was done. 
Next we dropped by Trevor and Nell's where these cute cousins got better acquainted.  
On Tuesday it was back to walking with Ginny.
How gorgeous is her flower bed. She said the orange ones are called Mexican sunflowers. Briahnna says she has some that are red!!! 
Then Emily and the kids were off to hike Bridal Veil Falls with cousins!!  
Thanks for the picture, Becca.  I was off to work for the day. 
I had Emily pick up goodies so I could deliver on my tea party promise to Bekie at the last minute. 
Brothers like tea parties too. 
Bri was nice enough to bring her kids on practically no notice so we could fill our ranks. 
They were all so cute. 
Love these princesses. 
Adi wanted to take home a book. Grandma has so many. I love that!  I hope I remember, after our mission, to have a basket of picture books for kids to choose from when they visit!! 
Nenna liked the ladder, can you tell she's holding her baby!  
More cousin time ... 
And finding a home for the last cup cake!! 
I loaded the van Wednesday ... Emily had helped me go through craft stuff Tuesday after the tea party, so much of that overflow ended up here. 
Bryon, my neighbor, came over to get the slant right in some of the posts 

Then Emily was off to Idaho stopping for lunch with this crowd. 
After Emily headed to Idaho I worked on loading at the house then had about a hour to catch some Pokemon 
At Salem pond .... 
I saw this sidewalk chalk art on Instagram and it seemed perfect for my new hobby. 
Then I dropped the load at DI before meeting up with Dad and the Broughs for dinner in Lehi. 

I worked on Thursday as usual and captured the pokegym that is located there. 
On Friday a guy came into work and inserted himself into the gym as well. 
Here he s ... 
He gave me some tips on finding more rare Pokemon ...
When I got home from work it was time to load up the garage with Trevor and Nell's last big load!! 
Here's Tom Grow, Nell's Dad. 
And Trevor and Nell's PG bishop! 
Brittney ... 
And Bri. 
And Becca too. 
Not sure that many hands make light work, but they do make quick work. 
Davin manhandles goodies out of the moving van. Sorry the pictures aren't better. The light was obviously not the best!! 
I worked again Saturday. Dad worked on projects  at the house then helped Trevor with some final moving details. 

Dad picked me up from work to go see Florence Foster Jenkins at thanksgiving point. That was fun!!  
Sunday morning I drove to Highland to see these boys do a fabulous piano duet in church. They did "whenever I hear the song of a bird ..," not sure of the title but it's always been a favorite for me and it was fabulous 

There was also a sister who had her farewell. She's headed to Korea and will be amazing. I wish all my girls had had that experience, in fact I wish I had. I think if have been a better mother. 

Then I went to our new Ward with Scott, he left after Sacrament meeting to drive our Talleys home. 

When I got home my nephew Scott was waiting for me!! 
We had a great visit!! Here are all my Scotts,  excepting my main Scott!  

Nell posted this on Instagram!  How fun is that!! 

So that was our crazy week. So many wonderful memories were made!!   Trevor and Nell's family spent the night for the first time Sunday night !!  How fun!!
