November 1st was surreal with the BARRETT family showing up to our house! So very exciting to see them all. Remi’s first comment was “I’m finally taller than you Sia!”
I sent Grammy this picture to let her know they had arrived safe & sound 😍
Sweeties setting up timer pics
BEST BIRTHDAY EVER the next dia shopping with my sisters! 💫
Vintage in the morning, Crust and Crumb for lunch and House of Random for desserts!
These two…right back to being inseparable.
Soph and the girls set up a trick or treating hallway for the boys:) so FUN.
The COUSIN GHOSTIE art turned out SO great!
From left to right on top… little Wilder (we got his toe), and the double fingers were done by Mack Murray, Remi and Sia up there close.
Bottom left to right Noelle, Mason, Jet, and Gwinna with the curls!
Last Hilmar Cheese at Christmas pic.
A couple days after the Barretts we left for Utah..me and MJ. Not a relaxing time, we helped our movers move our crap in!
We were unsuccessful in our hunt but it was still a good time!
Avo came by with her birthday cake to share with all of us & to cry about us going. Poor, sweetest Isabel.
Always breaks my heart to see her sad.
Soph is AMAZE and did a “mini” Thanksgiving meal for us all. NOTHING mini about it though! She had everything! Ham, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, string beans, salad, rolls, pumpkin pie!!!
On the morning of goodbyes. Sweet Mack Murray went straight up to Noelle and connected at the cheek and just stayed there. SO SWEET.
Last pic in front of our Hilmar home. Bittersweet moments all the lasts we’ve had here.
Hanging with my Sia while Gwinna, Noelle and MJ fly to Provo on the 19th.
They made it with our bear!!!!
Painting nails with Tia Sophia!
FLYING with our kitties. 2 out of 3 barfed. LOVELY but we all made it, eventually.
This guy. Admitted it, so I’m allowed to too…hit his head at least 5 different times on our chandelier in the Hilmar home after our dining table was moved out! Crazy.
First pic in front of OUR Osmond home!
First scenes of our next chapter. BEAUTIFUL ones. Welcome ones.
THANKSGIVING DIA…
Cinnamon rolls & Macys day parade in mom and dads room
3 turkeys to set the table…which one is which?;)
Yummy Chuck a Rama foods! A fun full circle moment. 11 years ago we did this too, at the restaurant…I was pregnant with Noelle and Gwinna was in a high chair and we ate and ate and it was heaven.
THIS was even better. Our 3 baby gals and 3 baby cats cozy in our new Osmond Lane abode.
Gwinna put together a turkey day trivia game for us. ‘Twas fun and then I surprised them by asking if they wanted to go see the Wicked movie while dad watched his football!
YES!!!! So fun. And now we cannot stop singing all of the songs!
My first and only home editing project so far.
Resisting the urge to do more until after we have thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas season.
Gingerbread houses from the Tia Stephanie! Spoiled, even from afar!
Got our cutie tree Saturday after turkey day. A nordmann again, they do have the best shape!
Gwinna winding up to throw a snowball at me. Hehe.
THIS cracked me up so much. Sia.
💛We have gotten 3 loaves of bread from our neighborhood family. We already feel so loved and welcome here.
💛Norm came to visit us and walked us through the changes he made to the house, which was amazing! Also told us our chandelier may be from the Manti Temple! This man. A lot of what he did, he did for his wife. She was wheelchair bound and he made so many changes out of his great love for her being comfortable and happy here. Such sweet knowledge to have. Took stairs out, put travertine tile in…huge shower. It was all for her. Such a special thing to know that a loving couple lived here before us. He is genuinely happy for us to be here, which was also sweet to believe straight from his mouth & eyes.
💛We already feel so at home and at peace living here. The pace, the mountains, the wild life, the walks, the people, the prices, the genuine LOVE we are surrounded by. Still feels good and right.
