Bentley is 3!!!

Happy Birthday Bentley!! It just seems absolutely crazy to me that my baby is 3! (I don't think the video works, but he is telling the camera he is now three!)



We have had a pretty busy couple months, we are trying to get as much Bentley time in as we can before the baby comes! I think we are all ready for her, we have all the things that we need, its just the waiting part that's hard!

For Valentines day we had a yummy breakfast, then following our tradition we went to a paint your own pottery place, this year I made a piggy bank for baby sister, and bentley did a wonderful job painting a coaster! After that Alex had to run to class, but we did have a fun morning.

We also had a very fun visit from Alex's sister and family. We did lots of fun things like going to the fire truck museum, of course Bentleys favorite part was just having friends to lay with 24/7. He sure loves his cousins!

As I said previously we are trying to give Bentley a lot of  attention, I think he knows a big change is about to come, he has been needing a lot of extra attention these past few weeks. But we were able to go to the Phoenix train exhibit while it was in town,  an arcade for the first time, and of course we go to the park a lot. It is also super fun having Chelsy close, Bentley loves to spend time with her, she took him to the legoland adventure here, he sure loved that! She also threw him an awesome party at flipdunk. We are pretty lucky to have her!

I am getting bigger and am about ready to pop, Baby girl can come any day now, we are ready for her:) I am pretty much done working, I still am going in for a couple hours a week, but its nothing too strenuous that I do. But its good to get me up and moving and not just sitting on the couch all day!

Alex is doing well with school, he just started his last quarter, he's getting close to the end! He is also working part time overnight which has been a blessing that it works with his school schedule, but some days are hard when he doesn't get as much sleep as he probably needs. But he loves to take care of us and we really appreciate him! He is still job searching, but he still has time before school is out, I know he'll find something!

I think that is it for now, eventually I will figure out a better way to blog with all the pictures but for now I'll just leave them all below! Hopefully the next update will be a s a family of 4!

Love always the Richards Family

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...
