A LOT HAS HAPPENED!

I know I have been so behind on my blog and we use this blog for our family year book so sorry for the many many posts of catch up. I wanted to catch up before posting the latest news that will be happening for our family. So many changes are about to come into our family and they will definitely be an adventure!
#1 The Rich Family will be having another baby in April (we will be finding out what the baby is in about two weeks)
My kids are ecstatic! They check every day to see how I am and how the baby is doing. Natalie keeps asking me when the baby is going to POP out! Garrett tells every one that his mom got a baby put in my tummy on Monday. (This is when I had a Doctors visit and I told the kids afterwards, it's pretty funny.) Hannah tells everyone she knows that we are having a baby and informs me that she will be taking care of her baby Darla while I take care of mine. They all drew pictures already for the baby to see when he/she arrives! The kids just can't wait! We are all very excited!
#2 The rich Family will be moving to Oklahoma!!!!
Brian has been working at DELL computers and they are closing here in Twin. They have offered Brian a transfer to OK. We will actually be leaving on Nov 2. I think we have found a house to move into and we are a little nervous about the move because we will be so far away from friends and family but we are getting excited for a new adventure!

So with that said I think both of these changes in our life will keep me very busy for a while that Blogging will not be a top priority for a while! So please bear with me.

Our little get AWAY!





Things in The RICH home were very stressful a a time and the Rich family needed a break! So we planned a little trip to Rexburg! Brian and I listened to conference on the way in the car and the kids were so good, we actually could LISTEN! When we arrived in Rexburg we showed the kids some of the houses we lived in, the hospital where Garrett was born and drove around the BYU University Campus. We also got to visit some WONDERFUL friends! The weather was a little cold and we hit a snow storm on the way home. It also put a damper on a train ride we were going to take with some friends but we had a great time! We listened to conference and played a bingo game with the kids and our friends kids, let the kids play, decorated sugar cookies, played games, went out on a double date, had dinner and saw lots of goats and horses and visited with many friends. It is so nice to have friends where you don't see them in a really long time but you can pick up things just as you left off. My camera was not working very well and some of my pictures I thought I took did not turn out. Thank you to all of our wonderful friends for letting us stay and visit with you all!

Museum FUN


My kids love the small museum at the College. I heard on the radio they were having a Smithsonian space display for a while. So we went as a family and it was so cool! We took off in a rocket, got to clear and make a space station on the moon, stomp on movable rocks on the floor and fish (all digital) and then land back home. The kids got to see some robots and they got a prize bag with pencils, spaceship, stickers and got their picture taken as if they were in a space suit and on the moon. There all time favorite thing was to touch a real moon rock! It was so amazing all three of my kids would say! This was so fun for our kids. They loved every minute of it!

I have been so in the mood for everything PUMPKIN!!!!!!!!!! I have made pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pie and wanted to make some pumpkin bread. It was so cute when I came in the kitchen to see that my Natalie was in the same mind set as me making her own pumpkin pie! So CUTE!

Brian is a wonderful story-teller! I love to hear him read to the kids. He gets so involved! My camera has not been working very well and I desperately need a new one but the old one is just going to have to work a little longer but it takes forever to get it to take a picture or take a video and sometimes by the time I have it ready it's too late for the moment I wanted to capture. I got the end of his story and I wished like anything I could have gotten the whole thing but it's still pretty entertaining! I love it!

My BOYS



I went to find Brian and Garrett and I saw them sleeping, I thought it was so CUTE so I got my camera and found out they were totally FAKING IT!

MY BOYS!

I love Kindergarten!

I just am loving Kindergarten! I anticipate every day when Garrett comes home to tell me all about his day and what he learned! I love spending one on one time with the girls! I love that Garrett is still in the stage of Excitement! He can't wait to get on the bus and he waves to me every day from the bus, he loves to come home and tell me ALL! Every Friday he bring all his work home and every Friday since school has started he comes home wearing a makes or a head band. It is so CUTE! I love it. Here is his Pig mask that he made. The girls can't wait to see what he will come home wearing the next week.
