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!

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.

Bentley surgery update ♥️

Before I was able to update the blog about Bentley’s surgery it got moved up! Surgery was scheduled for November 28. Then on Wednesday of last week the surgeons office called and said they would need to move his surgery later date. However that had a last minute opening on Friday and asked if that would be enough time. We have already been waiting for a couple months so we said we could do Friday!  So here I am writing this on my phone from the hospital. 🙂 Let me back up a little bit. The week of November 3 Bentley had a series of tests and procedures to see if he would be a candidate for the double switch surgery. My awesome mother in law came out and took care of Hadley while we were in and out of the hospital that week.  He ended up not being a candidate yet, the pressure in his artery still needed to be a little higher before they would consider him a candidate,  so we proceeded with our previous plan of just tightening his PA Band.  When we found out ou...
