Wyoming

Well it finally happened we took my little brother to school. He has chose to go to WyoTech in Laramie. He thinks he wants to be a mechanic when he grows up. LOL! We are so proud of him and his choices that he is making. We had so many concerns leaving him so far away. First off his apartment, but it turned out awesome and gotta love being their first so he has the only room with a bathroom he was excited about that. We also got to meet one of his room mates who ended up seeming like an awesome person. 
All I have to say that it is a 10 hour trip with no stops and what a long trip it was. I was worried how the girls would do. Trista decided at Craters to start asking if we were there yet. That made a long trip. Natalia did amazing and the whole way there we only heard from her a few minutes just as we were getting there. We were sad Ryan had to stay home but it ended up a great trip. Poor Ty and he thought there was nothing in Carey ha-ha. For a bigger town at least their is a Walmart he'll be able to survive. LOL. 
We are all very happy to get home. Except poor Vanessa who has been sick all day. She has stayed at Mima & Papa's all day sleeping. We went over for Mickey Waffles and she fell asleep so there she stays. Poor baby. 

The girls just as we were saying bye to Uncle Ty in front of his apartment.
Vanessa was bored and started taking pictures
This is where Tyler will do 6 months of his classes. Ya looks boring to me but he was super excited.

Fire Wood Trip

Well we got up early Saturday morning and went to the mountains. We have been trying all summer to get up there but hasn't been that easy with the new baby and trying to get things done for winter around here. So my dad had his camper up there and heater going for us girls when we got there so I was so thankful I had kids that day. Us 4 stayed nice and warm being a city camper in our trailer with the heater and tv and movies. Vanessa and Trista got to work on their homework and color and play while it was so cold.  It rained like nothing else that day and my wonderful hubby along with my parents and brother all were out working in it so that we could get a load of wood and get out of there. Poor Ryan he was soooo wet on the way home he couldn't get warm. But we were so happy to have that job over with that is for sure. We will definatly be warm this winter. :) I hate winter and being cold. I hope we don't have another winter like last winter. That was terrible. 
Ryan at the creek by camp


the girls loved the sand by the creek so sad it rained so hard they didn't get to play in it my dad wants us to go back up so they can really play.
we had to take this picture of natalia (yes i look like a slob in my sweats but it was a long trip and cold) but we teased Dustin that we were going to name Natalia Lola when I was pregnate (if anyone has seen the movie RV you'll know his navigation system is named Lola thats what Ryan and my mom call theirs). We didn't think that Natalia knew the direction out was and their navigation system was always messing up so I figured Lola was a good name hahah and my parents said that is where they were I couldn't quit laughing.
We were leaving and I wondered where Trista was well she was found of coarse in the mud puddle her boots were soaked but she was having a blast 
Here is Ryan on the load of logs they got out. My dad went up ahead of us and fell the trees and with my mom, brother and Ryan skidding logs out they got it out fast. They would of got two loads if it hadn't kept raining. After the first load my mom said "we are going home." So this load is going to be cut up this next week and put in our shed for our fireplace. I love my families business it would stink to have to pay for electricity all winter or buy wood.

Laura is awesome

Well I thought I'd show this off. My amazing friend Laura spoils me with these things all the time. She has so much talent. I absolutely love her for all she does for me. So hope you enjoy this. Laura your amazing thanks so much. 

First Pants

I can't get over how tiny Natalia's clothes are I love it. So I was so excited about her first pair of real pants. It is getting cold here and she couldn't wear onesies and dresses forever haha. Ryan says that I just like to play dress up with her. I'll agree its fun Trista agrees. So I thought she was just adorable.
Yesterday was also the day we took her in for her 2 month shots. Poor baby I dreaded it. We knew Vanessa always got sick after her shots but Trista didn't. I really hoped that Natalia wouldn't get sick but I knew that she probley would. She did great all afternoon and that evening she was done for she was not feeling good at all. I hate seeing the kids sick but especially the baby. But she was a great sport through it all and seems better which is good because we are heading to Stanley tomorrow to get our firewood for the winter or its going to be one cold winter. We have to get it done while we can still make my little brother a slave before he leaves Wed. for school in Wyoming. :) 
So hope you enjoy the pics. Oh Vanessa started her "homework" yesterday. She gets homework on Thursdays and brings it back on Wed. but there is lots she has to read 15 minutes a day and do homework for about 10 minutes and work on flash cards for math. Which she loves to do math so not a problem there we have lots of flash cards. 
Trista is working on learning about "B" . Its so cute seeing her growing up and being her own person. 


My mom saw this shirt and had to get it "Milk Enthusiest" thought it fit her very well. 
Her smiles sure do make you smile no matter what kind of day you've had.

Ok our skinny little girl went to the doctor yesterday and she is now 12 pounds 1 ounce, 24 inches long and her head is 16" (started at 14) so on everything she was on the high end of the chart.

Layla Blessing


Randall, Kaci, Layla, Natalia, Tiffanie & Ryan. The girls are 3 weeks apart. 

We had a good day seeing family and friends in Burley yesterday. Ryan's step-brother Randall and his adorable family drove from Wyoming to have their new baby Layla blessed. So it was a big Dilworth get together. It was fun to see everyone since we don't get to do it very often. So Amanda took this time to actually take a family picture of all 9 kids, their kids, the parents, and grandparents. The only person missing was Lisa's husband Corey who had to work. 
Grandma Dilworth and Natalia. They were born on the same day so I was so excited to get a picture of the two of them. Grandma hasn't been well so I'll take all the photo chances I can. 
4 generations of family. My girls almost smiled in this picture. Look they took after their great grandpa haha. 
4 generations of the girls. I remember doing this when Vanessa was born Teresa reminded me we should take a 4 generation picture it turned out very cute. 
Aww look at the guys 4 generations. I told them "sorry its a girl" haha grandma laughed and said awww you don't want a boy we'll keep the girl. It was cute. 
Look at us. We have sisters. I have yet to figure out how to be taller they wouldn't give me a stool. I still think we were on a hill :)

hahaha

ok so i forgot to add the horse pictures to go with the title oops. 

Ok yep that is me on a horse. I haven't rode a horse since before Ryan and I were married so about 10 years or so. I told everyone that I wasn't going to ride I'm just not a horse person we have them because Vanessa adores them and Ryan loves them as well. They are growing on Trista. My mom laughed at me the whole time but they do need rode everyday. All I could think about was where was Dustin and Tyler who have been riding with Ryan. Thank goodness Brooke is an amazing horse and so easy going and calm. Its Sage the horse Ryan rides that makes me nervous she is to full of it for my blood. I'd rather have another horse like Brooke then having Sage but of coarse that is the horse that Ryan loves.

Me trying to convince mom to get on so I can get off haha. Didn't work she was happy with the baby and girls. All I could tell Ryan is I am ready to go back to the mall and shop he just laughed and said whatever you love it here and you know it. Guess I have to get over it. Vanessa said mom would you rather get hurt or us. Well what a question I guess I have to ride so that I know they will be safe on them. What a smart little stinker to make me think like that.
Look how tiny our little Natalia is. So special she is in my papa bears sattle also she is so precious
Trista wanted to first ride with daddy on Brooke. Sage was to full of it to ride with the girls. Trista loved it so much of coarse the first comment as soon as I put her on with Ryan was... "Dad can she run" all I could do was shake my head. She is my dare devil she loves going fast on everything especially the motorbike and their 4-wheeler
Vanessa was glowing when she got up there but she is way to big to ride with her daddy. But that is ok she had a blast riding anyways. She can't wait till they've got more miles on them and ride her on her own. Brooke is a great kids horse and so calm.

Our Ride

I can't believe that our angel will be 2 months old tomorrow. She is so much fun in all of our lives. The girls s adore her and love that she is full of smiles and learning how to use her voice.

Mima bought the girls shirts that said "my sisters a monster"

Clean Up

What a great day. Seems that our Saturday's always go way to fast. Started out with Mickey Mouse waffles at moms. Sad we have one more Saturday of them with Tyler home :( before he leaves for school. Then we went home and started on chores. Ryan started working on cleaning up the back yard so that he could get the horse corral put up. My mom started putting up the electric fence so that the horses could only go so far and the sheep couldn't get out. Then it ended up cleaning up the big pile of junk my papa had piled in the back. So after the tractor they went. I was so excited to see it all moved and taken care of. My mom and I agreed it looked funny not having it there but looks great. But wow you should see the bon fire were going to have this winter. It is looking a lot better around here.
What it looked like before everything was moved
Side view as mom is starting to move the old truck.
Yahhh its moved.
Wow it looks so different but amazing. The little shed looking thing will also be burned this winter there is nothing left of it. They did a great job.

Remembering 911

This is a day that our family takes time out and remembers how blessed we are to have each other and still be alive to enjoy time together. As many know were to be on the plane that hit the pentagon as we were coming home for a funeral but we ended up deciding to take a later flight because we couldnt get things together to make that early flight. (we lived 5 min. from the airport) I remember waking up to Ryan's dad calling freaking out because he knew we were going to leave. Seeing it all happen on TV was a crazy day. Our neighbors calling us freaked out because they couldn't find someone else and trying to get them together was scary. Going out to eat after they got home and talking about how things were (they worked in DC) at work. 
Everyone experienced this day in a different way but living in Washington DC area when it happened and seeing everyone unite was amazing to see that and to see now how everyone is hating so fast is sad. I remember calling my mom scared and she had no idea it was going on but so greatful we weren't on the plane. I talked to my papa and he said "Tiff you guys need to get home now." well 2 months later we were back home living. Ryan and I take my papa's advice seriously.
I just want to say how blessed we are to have such a wonderful family. I love Ryan for always supporting me in all I do and being such an amazing husband and father to our children. We have three amazing girls. We have been able to do some amazing things these past 7 years and have helped many people. The lord knew it wasn't our time thank goodness. Hope everyone has a great day and remembers how special life is.

Natalia's Blessing Day

What a day Sunday was. I can't believe that this would probley be the last time that this blessing dress would be used. So I was sad it came and went so fast but so happy to know that our family is truly complete and how lucky we are to have three beautiful girls. They make Ryan and I's lives so much fun. He is definatly the type of guy to deal with the girls. Thank goodness Dustin comes around to keep him sane :) Dustin gets a taste of what its like at our house with all the girls and all he can do is laugh. He sure was a proud uncle that day. But we were just as proud to have named Natalia Dustynn after him.
Are family is so much fun I just got a taste of how much fun it is going to be trying to get family pictures for Christmas with 5 of us now. It was hard enough with just the 4 of us. Should be loads of fun.
Ryan gave Natalia a beautiful blessing we are so blessed to have the gospel and have such a wonderful man able to give such beautiful blessings. Thanks babe for being such a great example to all those around you.
Special thanks to Marlene for making the most beautiful blessing dress ever. Wanda for helping me by putting together her headband and making it look awesome. Also to Laura your shoes and socks went so awesome with her dress. Then to everyone that showed up and helped make the day so special it was great.





Lunch After Blessing

Well we had a great lunch after Natalia's blessing. It was so great to see everyone and spend time with them. Bryce & Ashley hope you bring your football for next week. There is a girl here that is so excited to see you and play. :) She'll keep you in shape Bryce with all that baking I am sure Ashley is doing ha-ha.
It was a great day even though our little angel came home and was very sunburnt on her face. We thought it would be worse but with prayer she got better pretty quickly and her blisters weren't to bad and she wasn't to grouchy.

this is what Ashley thinks of Bryce lol
Ok guys I thought that the kids were going to play in the sand :)
Casey Boy was so excited to hold baby Natalia it was so cute. He gets to go baby crazy with 3 new babies in his family. What a big Kindergardener he is. He is the closest to a boy poor Ryan will get we all love him to pieces.

adorable cousins love playing together.
proud aunt Lisa has another niece to spoil and get all girly :)
Uncle Bryce thinking she is cute but so glad he can give her back :)



Rabbits

So before we had Trista my mom had gotton Vanessa a rabbit and said "oh they only last a little while." Ya it was 3+ years the thing finally died I was so sick of that rabbit. Sure it was cute and fun at times but hated taking care of it in the winter. So she kept saying that she was going to get the girls another one but I didn't want any. It was nice because I was in the city before and then moving here I was so sick. Well guess what happens when we send my mom and brother to D & B to get horse stuff. Then come home with two rabbits. Oh I was not thrilled. Dustin and I can't figure out why you have rabbits except for target practice or fox food (we do have a few of those in the field). Ryan thinks it is so cute. I told my mom the girls have so many responsiblities now they can't keep up with it. So I told my mom she has to make them a cage. I so am not thrilled about this choice but oh well I'm sure someone will leave the cage door open soon enough. I know I am mean but I put up with the last one they had. Ryan says we'll have to have an extra fridge just for pet treats between our horses, rabbits, cats, dog and Trista's bass in the fish tank its crazy around here.

On Saturday Grams and Pops showed up to stay with us. Teresa was so excited to see Natalia it was cute. It was a fun couple of days with them here. The girls were so excited to show off the horses. Ryan rubbed it in that we are in "God's Country" as him and Lamar call it.
