Looking Forward to New Adventures

It has been a busy few months! I am in NM visiting my family so I got as much packing done as I could before I left. Its amazing how much we have accumulated the last 2.5 years living here! I will put up a bunch of pictures, hopefully once we get settled in Arizona I will be a better blogger!


Family Adventures

A few fun things since the last blog:
A trip to Utah for Alex's grandmas 90th birthday
Fro-Yo Run/Bolder Boulder/Broomfield Trail Days
A trip to NM for Annies Graduation
Aquarium to see the fish
Childrens Museum with the cousins
Denver history/science Museum with the Aunt Em and Grandma R.

Alex

Its the busy season once again for Alex at work. We are grateful for all of the hours he puts in! He has been doing a lot of prep work for his Masters program, and helping me pack all our stuff up. He has also taken charge of finding us housing in AZ, I will meet him in Phoenix this weekend to hopefully find a place.

Lezlie

I played my last orchestra concert with the Lakewood symphony, we really did have an amazing season and am going to miss playing with them net year. Other than that I haven't been up to too much, just trying to pack up. It's a bigger chore than I was expecting. It's nice to have a break this week while I hang out with my family in NM.

Bentley

Bentley has been a busy boy! He finished up his gymnastics class and swimming lessons and we have been having lots of playdates! ( Thanks to all the awesome people who have watched him while I packed!!) He has had lots of cousin and family time and is just busy as ever. We started potty training, but because we have been traveling lots and there is lots of changes happening its going a little slower than I would've liked. Once we get to Arizona and get into more of a routine I know it will be more consistent.

Bentley's Heart-March 6, 2018

Since moving to Tracy, I have realized that a lot of people aren't aware of Bentleys heart. Not that I don't want people to know, I just have a hard time bringing it up. Before I update his condition, I'll just give a little background on what it is. Bentley was born with a rare heart condition called Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (cctga).The easy way to explain it is the arteries on his heart are switched, the larger artery which is supposed pump blood to his body, is pumping blood to his lungs, and the smaller artery which is supposed to pump blood to his lungs, is pumping the blood to his body.  Cctga comes in 3 forms and Bentley has the most rare. His Cctga also causes him to have a heart block, which just means his the top and bottom of his heart aren't beating in sync, causing his heart to beat at a slower rate.  Most of the times when diagnosed with Cctga kids have other major issues with their hearts and need open hear

Family Update!

Family: We have been doing fantastic! To start off we Moved! Alex's work bought a new building that had an apartment above it. It is a 2 bedroom so there is plenty of room for the three of us. It is also cheaper rent and we are allowed to have pets! So my family drove my cat Lovey all the way from New Mexico to be with us :) We are enjoying our new ward and are enjoying the nice weather by going on walks to the parks around us. Our sweet kitty Lovey! We also Blessed Bentley and we had lots of family come for his blessing, Alex did a beautiful job and gave such a sweet blessing to our boy. Justin also came to visit! It was fun having him here. We also were able to talk to Dalton on Mothers Day! We did a whole family Skype, it was so fun to have all of us together, and Dalton is doing so good in Brazil.
