Hello 2019!

Happy 2019! We are excited for the new year! Looking back I see the hardships and trials, but I also see all the miracles and tender mercies. I am going to try harder to put family updates out once a month. More for my sake so I can have a record of what goes on in the family since I have an awful memory. But here is a little bit about our year.

As a family:
We took two family trips:
-Phoenix in February so I could run the Phoenix 1/2
-Los Alamos in July to spend time with grandparents and cousins
We also had lots of family come visit!
We tried to do lots of fun things as a family and explore the places close to us.

Alex:
He has been keeping busy with work, he has been on 3 business trip (Southern California twice, once in Irvine and once in Pasadena, and Phoenix)
He also got some new responsibilities with his Job,
He had a birthday and turned 31
The clutch on his car Ron went out, but he hopes to fix it.
And he does an awesome job taking care of us and being Handy

Lezlie:
I also had a birthday, I turned 30,
I went on my first cruise with my family.
I ran a 3 races this year, hope to run more in the coming year
I got a cricut and have expanded my crafting knowledge
I love teaching primary and I enjoy being home with the kids

Bentley:
He had 2 heart surgeries
This summer he did Tennis, Swimming, Soccer, and Ninja.
He turned 4
He enjoys doing "mommy preschool" Getting ready for kindergarten
Has enjoyed every minute he can with friends and family

Hadley:
Is growing so fast!
She turned 1
Its been fun watching her personality bloom
She loves babies, dressing up,and dancing
She got to have a vacation with Grandma Grandpa Smith and cousins while Bentley was in the hospital and did so good!

I'm sure I missed things, but these are the most memorable We are so blessed and grateful for all the love and support we have here! It is hard being away from family, but we have so much love and support here. We are looking forward to a new year and new adventures!!

Love 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 ...
