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

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 ...

Looking Forward to New Adventures

It has been a busy few months! I am in NM visiting my family so I got as much packing done as I could before I left. Its amazing how much we have accumulated the last 2.5 years living here! I will put up a bunch of pictures, hopefully once we get settled in Arizona I will be a better blogger!
