Family Fun

Family

We have had a busy last couple of Months. In April I got to see my sister and her kids for their spring break. We went to the Childrens Museum, and went Swimming. We also made it to the Park.  Bentley had a lot of fun with his cousins.

They were also able to come back with my parents and my other two sisters for Memorial day where we had more  fun running the bolder boulder and just hanging out:) It's always great to have family here with us. We had all four sisters together!

Bentley and Taryn
He will sure miss his friend













Our dear friends also moved to Minnesota, we will surely miss them! We never got a picture of us all together, but I have one with their little girl who is Bentleys age. Bentley and her are good friends!

He Loves his Grandma
yummy Penguin Crackers!
Bentley is growing up so fast! I am amazed each day at the things he can do! He is now 22.5 lbs, he loves to play at the park and loves to play with the kitty. Some of his favorite toys are his red chair (Thank You cousin Gavin:) Balls, Books, and his mega blocks! He will eat almost anything that you give him. He also loves to help me do the dishes and play the piano. Overall he is just the happiest little boy and Alex and I love him So Much!

I am doing really well, Bentley keeps me busy. I am done nannying and it is so nice to not have to get up at 5:30 anymore. I am still working on getting back into shape. Since I last blogged I have run a 5K and 2 10Ks. I have been going to the gym and if the weather is nice bentley and I get out and jog to the park.

Before Haircut
I have decided to not go to school at this time. I would really like to go back eventually but after much prayer and thought I decided to focus more on raising Bentley and getting ready for Alex to go back. Alex has been really supportive and would have helped me go back. But he is supportive in me not going as well. He built me a garden:) Which I was able to plant. I'm pretty sure the only things growing however are the onions! haha anyway I am learning new things. I am also in the Process of making Bentley a Quiet Book. He is still a little young but hopefully it will keep him still at church:) Next time I will post pictures. Oh I also got a haircut. Its not much shorter but I did get bangs:)

Alex


Work is starting to pick up for Alex. But he always finds time to spend time with Bentley and I. He was able to take the GMAT a few weeks ago. He didn't do as well he would have liked and He would like to retake it. I am proud of him for working hard and studying for it. I think he is amazing and he will get into school wherever he wants. He is such a hard worker:) I really do love him! He also built me some bookshelves out of Pallets. It really opened up our front room. He is the best ever! 
Thats it for now. Next week Bentley and I are headed on a summer adventure to New Mexico, Texas and Arizona. I'll have some fun pictures to post I'm sure!

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...

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...

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...
