And Then There Were Four...

SURPRISE!!

I'm just over 11 weeks now and everything is going great, so I figured it was time to spill the beans!! YAY! We're going to wait another few days (until my next Dr. appt. on Tuesday) before we tell all our friends, but I have been wanting to tell you all forever--I couldn't wait another minute!!


I've "graduated" from my IVF doctor, am off all the extra meds & shots, and just see my regular OB now, so that's very, very good news. My due date is July 7th (I know, I know) but it will most likely be mid-June. Hopefully it will be mid-June, no sooner and no later!

I am purposely writing this post using pink & blue, b/c I am REALLY hoping that's what they end up being. :>)

October Fun

Just in case you haven't been over to my website, here are a few fun photos from October...

Camden & Brinley out on the Trick-or-Treat trail

Mom (or Grandma to some of you...) and Camden making caramel apples

She also went with us to our weekly Music Makers in Santa Monica

And she had lots of snuggles with her (favorite) grandchildren

Richards Halloween

A glimpse of Halloween at our house...

We carved pumpkins on Monday for FHE.  Mia drew her face and I cut it out for her.  Jared did the spider one.

 Mia and Tessa were witches.  Gavin was Spiderman.

There was a lot of stuff going on around town on Friday.  We took advantage of the 60 degree weather that day and had a lot of fun.  Our ward also had a soup dinner and trunk-or-treat that night.  The great thing about living in Utah was that everyone did trick-or-treating on Saturday.  Unfortunately, Saturday was cold and rainy.  From 2:30-5:30 pm it was pouring! Thankfully, it stopped just after 6 pm and Jared and the kids were able to go out and stay dry! 

Richards update



Some random pictures to cover the last few months, in no particular order...enjoy!  Hope everyone is doing well.  I expect to see Halloween pics of all my cute neices and nephews next week!

The Sicklers came to visit for an afternoon when Mom and Dad were here.  August, maybe?



My kiddos ready for the 4th of July

More 4th of July fun

We had a VERY successful onion growing season...check out the size of those things!

Mia's 5th birthday

Gavin's 3rd birthday (celebrated in St. George with Uncle Micah, who shares a bday)

Mia eating her cake, nice and neat

Gavin...not quite as neat :)

Our sad attempt at a family picture!

Some pictures of Tessa at 6 months! 

She is a sweet, happy, smiley baby.

She will be 7 months on Monday!!!

Jodi & I at the Lion King in September.  It.  Was.  Amazing!

Hello Summer!!!

I have always said that Santa Monica was never warm enough.
I should have remembered what they say....Be careful what you wish for!!!

PS. This was not right when I got in the car. This was 45 minutes into the drive, as I was coming home from Santa Monica, driving down into the Santa Clarita Valley!

Tessa - Newborn pictures

I'm too lazy to upload these pictures again, so go and check out Tessa's blog to see her newborn photos (well, my favorites...which I had a lot of!)

Hey Fods, you think your April 30th was bad.....this was our May 6!!!

Pictures with Grandma

Love these pictures

While in Hawaii

While on a walk near the beach this is what we saw. Looks like Jordan's fan club had already been here.

One of the sets for the TV show "Lost"

Filming of "Lost" down the beach. This was as close as we could get.

While we still live here...

Scott and I have started talking about moving north, and that means away from the beach. I am already missing it. So I decided to take the kiddos down and attempt to get some pictures of them together. Of course we mostly got singles, and most of Camden's are "action" shots, but just the same, I love a lot of them! Here's just a few--we took 185. Thank goodness for digital...
