Spring Training Game

Here are a few pictures from a spring training game we went to. That day we decided to go to Luke Days but we were stuck in traffic for a hour. We decided to turn around and go to a game instead!

They're Engaged!

My little sister and her boyfriend got engaged a month ago! They have been together for three years so it is about time!! Steve is just the best guy! The whole family loves him a lot. I knew the first time I met them that he was a "good" guy. I knew this because we were all sitting around the dinner table at my parents house. My grandpa Richardson started tell a story. I can't remember what the story was about but I watched Steve and he was listening to him very intently. He was focused on him and he was very respectful. This is a huge thing to me because it showed his compassion for Jody's family. This was the moment I thought Jody had found the one.

I think Jody and Steve knew that they were meant to be from the start but they had to make sure. Jody moved to Las Vegas a year and half ago to be closer to Steve. Once she was they were inseparable and they moved back to Phoenix (because Jody insisted). Steve recently graduated from culinary school at the top of his class. This is a huge bonus to us because he is a awesome chef. He even named salsa after my sister "jodyguacasalsa" hehe

I am so excited for them and the journey they are about to begin. Steve will be a wonderful father. He almost had tears in his eyes when he saw Lacey for the first time. Now all Jody needs to do is plan the wedding and not have anxiety over it!! I hope they enjoy this time together in there lives. Poor Steve is surrounded by "Richardson women" now. I think he knows that we will hurt him worse that the men if he does anything to Jody! hehe He is funny because he just shakes his head at us (Jody, Laura and I) when we get crazy! It is fun though and I wouldn't want it any other way!

WARNING...gross pictures of my mom's foot!

My mom had foot surgery at the beginning of March. Her foot has been in a cast until today. She has a boot on now but can't put pressure on it. She had surgery because the bones in her foot started sliding off to the right and they ruptured her tendon. She could hardly walk. But she is doing well. When this all started we thought maybe she had a stroke because of the way she was walking. After a lot of doctor appointments we think it is just her foot that put her off balance. We were relieved it was just this. Hopefully the surgery worked and she can get back to her life! She had to take time off work as a Kindergarten teacher and I know she just wants to be back with her kids. I am enjoying the time I get to spend with her and help her out. She probably doesn't like sitting around all day but it had given her and Lacey time to bond!
