Camping

This is the Hike we went on in Bryce canyon last weekend.

We went to Southern Utah for a little R&R. We had a ton of fun.

my back feels lonely

Where's Ellen? Is there internet in Ohio?

Haircuts make the world go round.

This is after Ray's latest haircut. . . note the hair/popcycle goatee. Raymond would like to announce that his sibling is a baby brother! Henry still has months to grow, but we are excited he is a he!

Jessica, we can still hang out next year. That's so cool- I wish I could go to a school and be by both of my families. Lots of babysitters! We need to have a cookout or something with the boys this summer.

Woman at Work

My dad and I spent the day at the ZCMI Facade down town on an 80ft lifting crane. We were giving them a bid as to how much it will cost them for us to take it down. Its amazing what people will spend. Any way. I just thought I would show you my super hot contruction outfit with my Pink Hat. I told my dad that Ellen had a pink one and the next day I had one on my desk. I guess he wishes I was more like her.

U of U here we come!

So we finally know where we'll be this fall... the U of U! Pete ended up not getting into UC San Diego, so our decision was made easy. I'll be honest, I'm just excited to leave Provo. Sorry Janae, you'll be all alone... the first to come and the last to leave. Anyway, we're now looking for an apartment up in Salt Lake and we'll be moving as soon as we find a place we like. Pete's mom has offered all the free babysitting we want, so we're pretty excited about that. Hope everyone's having a fun summer!

Yeah!!!

So guess what everyone???? I have officially finished my first year of teaching!! Yeah! It feels so great to be done. I am very excited for my summer. We just moved in to our new apartment on Saturday, and we are getting settled. I'm excited to start making it look cute. Well, I'll be having an end of school year party tonight if anyone wants to come...

I'm a professional.

I took Ryan's engagement shots tonight and I'm proud of myself! So here is a top-secret picture so that you could all see my beautiful new sister-in-law. So do you think I should start my own photography business or what. . . doesn't it look pro?

Memory Lane

We were way weird.

The Cowart Update

Life is good with me. We go to work alot and Rob goes to school. He will be taking the PCAT this fall. Cross your fingers. We are moving at the end of the month to my parent house for the summer. They turned the laundry room into a kitchen so we are all over that!

We all just got back from the Happiest Place on Earth and everyone had an awesome time. My brother Luke is living in Chicago and installing Alarms with his girlfriend. James is still in VA on his mission and he LOVES it. Eli is going to be a Junior...which makes me feel old.

I am in charge of fundraising for my parents non profit organization call YOUTH MAKING A DIFFERENCE. (A few of you came and helped us sort clothes two years ago). My parents are taking 20 more teens to India and they are trying to raise $100,000. I like to pretend that all the money that comes in is mine...

We should be around most of the summer. I will be in Maine the first week in August but other then that I am just waiting for you all to come into town. We should have a BBQ at my parents and I will put up the big movie screen. I want to see all your kids! This infertillity crap bites!

Spider-Ray

This is a current picture of Raymond heading outside to swim. I can't even tell you how HUGE my son is for a 20 month old. It kills me. Especially because I stopped picking him up for a couple months and he gained 10 pounds. I think I might get the "Worst Mother Ever" award because of this pregnancy.

He's taken.

Hey Everyone! This is us at our new home, the Grand Canyon. If you look closely, you can see my pudginess that is baby 2.

Well, we still live in P-town but we came to hang out in Arizona two and a half weeks ago. Andrew had intentions to take the MCAT on Friday but postponed it for another yucky two months. We really don't know what we are doing this summer, except that I associate Utah with being really really sick and don't want to go back, ever. But we will because Andrew has a year left BYU. And I have a date with a baby in November.

Oh, and Ryan is getting married on July 7th, sorry ladies.

Here is our new apartment

So, we are moving this weekend down the street to a new apartment. We are really excited about it. We will have a lot more room than in our little studio.

We had some fun about three weeks ago when I got to meet my nephew Theodore Warren Doot for the first time. Jared, Joan, and Theo came and stayed with us for a few days (in our studio, can you believe it?) We had a lot of fun showing them around DC and hanging out. Here is a picture of me and Theo. Can you see the family resemblance?

WELCOME!

Welcome to the A Richards blog. I thought it would be fun to have a way to keep in touch with each other through pictures and stuff. Cause I always love to see what everyone is up to! Post as much as you'd like with anything you'd like to say!
