Our Happy Little Family!

We have been busy and happy these past couple months, but we haven't been happier!

Alex

He has been busy busy busy with work! There isn't much new with him, but he has started to study for the GMAT, we are hoping he will be able to take it and apply for his MBA beginning of the year. There still hasn't been a decision made weather where to go, but I'm sure he will be applying lots of places. Bentley Just loves his daddy, he gets the biggest smile on his face whenever Alex comes home.

I have been keeping really busy with Bentley I love being a mom! He brings so much joy into my life! I am also keeping busy with my Calling at Church, it is a lot of Work but I sure love my Young Women, they may be few in numbers but they are such a delight! I also had a birthday since I last updated. I am now 26! I have a list of goals and things I want to accomplish before I turn 30, one of which was to be a mom(Check!) and another is to run a marathon. I am having a hard time getting back into shape, but I have made some goals and will run a 5K in a couple weeks. I also have some friends from the ward, and we get up in the morning with our little ones and go walking about twice a week. I also got hired to judge chair auditions for the Front Range Youth Symphony. I had never done that before and was grateful for the opportunity! I just hope my name gets out there a little more so I can get some students. The auditions were at the Arvada Center, which is where I danced  growing up. While there I ran into two of my old teachers! I haven't seen them for 8-9 and it was such a happy reunion! They even remembered who I was!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Bentley

4 Months!
He is getting bigger and stronger everyday! He is a pro at rolling over both ways and he likes getting on his hands and knees and rocking. I'm sure he will be crawling soon. His heart is also doing good, we go back to the Cardiologist in October but at our last visit they were pleased with how he is doing, they suspect he won't need a pacemaker for a few years. That is great news the longer we can put off surgery the better:) We just love him so much and are glad he is doing so well right now! He also started on the baby food, so far he has had rice cereal, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, peaches and green beans, he does really well with food! We also got him a johnny jump up, and he LOVES it! He could sit in there all day and jump, it is so cute to watch!

Family

As a family we have been doing so good! We were able to spend 4th of July in Keystone with my family, and we often go to Sunday Dinner with Alex's Family in Broomfield. Alex's Sister was here for a few weeks and we got to do lots of fun things with her and the girls, I even got my best score EVER in bowling! I granny bowled the whole thing and I broke 100! One of my very good friends got married and we were able to be there for her sealing. It was a short trip to Utah but definitley worth it! I had some other good friends come from BYU-Idaho that I hadn't seen in a while so that was amazing! While in Utah we stayed with Dallas and Amy, and we visited with Alex's brother Kevin and wife Lauren, and we got to chat with one of my amigops from High school :) Bentley and I also went to New Mexico and stayed for week. It was so good to spend time with my sisters and parents. We flew home and it was Bentleys  first flight! He did really good, he ate the first half and slept the second half.  We also had a family day at the Broomfield Bay. Bentley had never been swimming so we decided to take him before summer was over. I think that is about all with us. We are still just happily living life each day! 




Lots of cousins!

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...

Arizona!

We Made it! We made it to Arizona! We have had quite a busy summer trying to get here. In our last few weeks in Colorado we got to see lots of family and friends. Then while Alex finished up work at Playco, Bentley and I spent some time in New Mexico with my family. It was great because My older sister was also able to come for a visit with her kids and we got to do lots of fun things together! When Alex finished up he came to NM, where we then carpooled to Arizona. For the first week we stayed at my Boss's guest house because our apartment wasn't ready, Bentley loved the pool there and her dogs:) When we got into our apartment my wonderful father in law drove down the moving truck with the rest of our stuff. So far we are doing great in Arizona. The apartment is smaller than we were planning, but we were able to get a 9 month lease which is awesome because Alex's program is only 9 months and we don't know if we will be staying in ...

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...
