Happy Family!

Richards Family Update!




Bentley:

Happy boy!
Bentley is growing so fast! He turned 18 months and we celebrated with a swiss roll:) He loves to keep mom and Dad on their feet. He loves to go to the park, and play. He also loves cars, trains, and balls. Right now his absolute favorite thing to do is jump! He treats his bed like a trampoline, and loves when mom and dad watch him jump:) He also loves to hang out with his grandmas and grandpas. He loves them all so much! 

Lezlie:

I have had a lot going on. I started playing in the Lakewood Symphony and it is so good to be playing again. Our last concert was all Sibelius, which is one of my favorites. I also ran a half marathon! I am so glad that I did and have decided to run the Phoenix Marathon in February with my sisters! I was also able to make a quick trip home where I spent the weekend with my family in New Mexico. It was nice to have a break, and I even got to see my sister perform in a show. 
Sarah and I after the race! I couldn't have done it without her!

I even got a medal:)

Alex:

He had a birthday! He is now 28 years old. Bentley and I took him mini golfing then went out to dinner afterwards we celebrated with an ice-cream cake. Alex is still busy with work, but Bentley and I are proud of him. He works hard and does a good job for his company. He has started applying to get his MBA so that is exciting. We still won't know where we are going or when he is starting for a while. But The process is started:) He is a wonderful Husband who has supported me in all I do. Plus he is a wonderful Dad who Bentley adores.

Family:

We have been doing so good. Even with Alex working long hours we are still able to do lots of things together. We have been on lots of walks, gone out to dinner, and spent time with Family. Alex and I have also been able to have a few date nights. We went to one Alexs' coworker weddings, been out to dinner, and we ran the Broomfield days 5k together! We are a happy family and we will continue to update you with our happy life:) But for now enjoy some more pictures!

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...
