I can't believe that it is already August! We have had so much fun spending time with family and traveling. Now its good to be home back into our routine:)
One of my favorites of Bentley at the beach:)





June

Bentley and I took our first road trip together to New Mexico. Summer is Alex's busy season at work and he wasn't able to come with. But I am so impressed at how well Bentley traveled! And that I was able to do it alone:) We spent a few days in New Mexico, then all of us made a long trek to Texas! We met up with my other brothers and sisters in San Antonio, then the next day we drove to padre island where we spent the week in an amazing condo. It was awesome just relaxing at the beach and swimming in the pool. Bentley absolutely LOVED the beach! He is a water baby thats for sure:) We also stopped by the beautiful san antonio Temple, and we went to the river walkway. Overall Texas was great!

July was also a busy fun filled month! We went to Arizona to See Chelsy and Spend the 4th of July. We went shopping and got Pedicures,  and then we went to the trampoline park. Bentley loved the section with all the balls. He was sad to leave! But then we all went to a Diamond Backs baseball game and watched the fireworks. It was so much fun and we were sad to leave and come back, we would have loved to send more time in Arizona. Bentley and I also drove back from New Mexico. It was good to see Alex again.  I also turned 27! My family drove up and my dad and Alex Built me m own little craft closet with a desk and lots of storage. We also went to dinner and had ice cream cake. It was a good day:) Later in the Week Alex's sister watched Bentley for the night and Alex took me to dinner then to the Cirque- de- Solei Show kurios. It was SO COOL! I really have the best husband:)

The last couple weeks have been fun with lots of family and cousins. Alex's sister came into town from California and we have had lots of fun with the cousins going to the Natural History Museum and the Butterfly Pavillion. Its always so much fun to spend time with family and cousins! I also ran a 10K this weekend. I took 2.5 minutes off my last run! I am preparing to run a 1/2 Marathon in September, I', a little nervous, but I have a friend from church that is going to run it with me and she is really encouraging!

Family of 🖐🏻!

Welcome Emmet Stanford!! Born on May12 at 2:25am. Weighing 8 lbs 14oz, 21 inches long! We welcomed our newest addition, Emmet! Here is his birth story, it’s a short one this time around which is fine with me😊  The kids are enamored by him and we all love him so much! We were expecting him early because of my history with Bentley and Hadley, my doctor thought he would make his appearance earlier than later. My mom and sister were able to stay at home and quarantine for two weeks so they could be here when the baby came and watch Bentley and Hadley. We had them come May 1, because were were sure I would go into labor around then. However Emmet decided to take his time and didn’t come until I was 40+1. I was definitely ready! It was kind of a scary quick labor. I wasn’t sure we would make it to the hospital. I woke up around midnight with a contraction, but it wasn’t too bad and was able to fall asleep for an hour.  At one I woke up again with a stronger contraction, an...

Life would be boring without change!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Hello! I know I say this every time but it’s been awhile since our last post and so much has changed for our family in the last few months! But the top three changes are: 1-We found out we were expecting! 2- Alex got a new job (same company), and 3- We moved to San Diego!  I’ll just summarize by month and add lots of pictures😃 June/July We had a nice relaxing summer, we stayed home and tried to get back into a routine and normal life post hospital. We did go to the children’s museum lots and played outside. We also put Hadley in some dance classes and Bentley in Swimming and soccer to keep them busy. Bentley also lost two teeth!  August Bentley started kindergarten! I can’t Believe he is old enough to go to school! But he loves school and loved his teacher, I hope he doesn’t grow out of his love for learning. We also took a weekend trip to Monterey where we went to the beach and went to t...

The Richards family is on the move!

 The last time I posted was over a year ago! Like the rest of the world this year was anything but ordinary. We did however all grow a year older, and we learned to adapt the best we could to our new way of life.  With COVID, a new baby and Bentleys heart we tried to be extra cautious. We spent a lot of time at home together, a lot of time going to the beach and different parks together. We worshipped each Sunday from our living room over zoom and had many Facetime and Skype calls with our families. We turned a bedroom into a home office while Alex worked form home, and our living room into a virtual classroom for Bentley while he did his entire first grade year. Hadley and I did some mommy pre-school. And Emmet was just the happiest baby that went along with it all (while growing up way too fast!)  During the past year we have had our fair share of disappointments and joyful moments, but through them all we have grown. Grown closer in our relationships with each other an...
