New Tooth

So on Monday morning Ryan was driving home from Wyoming and I called him and said "I have some really sad news!" I told him "Our baby girl has her first tooth that just poked through." He started laughing and called me a dork lol he said he almost pulled off the road he thought that it was something major. I told him it was. He just laughed all that day. Knowbody believed me because she wouldn't show them. So Tuesday she finally decided it was ok to let people see and man Ryan took it as hard as I did. So sad when you see your baby grow up and you know you'll never see this stage again. But what a great moment also because she is getting bigger she is 7 1/2 months old now. The girls think its so funny to put their finger in her mouth and she bites them. I told them they're going to be like that youtube video with Charlie biteing his big brother. They decided that wasn't a fun game anymore lol. I will post some new pictures soon.

Love my girls

So I just had to comment on how much I love my girls. This past week Vanessa had been sick but within a few hours she was back to normal same went with Trista. Sunday night I got very sick. I woke Ryan up at like 1am because I was cold but of coarse I had a fever because Ryan said I was on fire. Well I slept terrible. Luckily Trista and Natalia slept in a little. Vanessa was so excited to tell me she finished her chapter book. I got up to come out and be with Vanessa but ended up falling asleep. Vanessa was so amazing I woke up and she was changing Natalia's diaper for me. She played with her for awhile and when Natalia got fussy I woke up and Vanessa was getting ready to feed her some baby food. I couldn't believe how amazing she was. Trista does an amazing job on the entertaining part. Natalia loves to watch her dance and sing around the house. I was so thankful for the girls. Ryan was under the weather also but around 9-10am he felt tons better but I wasn't that lucky. So about noon my I guess my mom had called and Vanessa said I was sick and for some chicken noodle soup since we were out. My mom came and got the girls and Ryan watched Natalia. Natalia is such a great baby which I am so greatful for. Made me so greatful for my family. What a blessing it was to see them all come together yesterday. Vanessa was like a little mommy even after I was feeling a little better and walking around she insisted on feeding Natalia her dinner and she wanted to take the bath with her it was so cute. Families are such a great blessing.

My "Peanut" Trista  I love her because she is always the first one to share something that is hers. She is my little drama queen and is always worried about her clothes and her hair. What a girl. :) She is our true daddies girl. She is a great help with Natalia and loves to be a big sister. She is so happy not to be the baby anymore. What a sweetheart she is.

I love Walt Disney World. It is the most amazing place ever. To see the kids faces when they see the characters and other things is so fun. My family take this trip every few years and it was so fun to take Ryan and the girls for the first time a few years ago. What a truely magical place.

#9
Anyone that knows me has known that Casper (all the cartoons and movies) have been my favorite since I was old enough to watch TV. My mom had to buy a new movie of it after I moved out I had watched the movie so much it didn't work anymore. Ryan has it memorized poor guy :)

I love Summer Time and all the things that you can do and for the things that you can grow.  I love camping and not wearing coats and shoes. Its so nice not being cold and dealing with snow (I hate winter). 

Happy 5th Birthday Trista

Wow we so can't believe that our little peanut is already 5 years old. Seems like just yesterday we brought her home. She was so excited to turn 5 she could hardly sleep all night long it was so cute. She woke up asking everyone to sing Happy Birthday to her (what a stinker). She had a great day.

Trista in her new Camp Rock pjs (she loves Camp Rock and also got the DVD) and all of her birthday balloons which I think Natalia liked just as much as Trista especially when Natalia learned to pull them down.

She told me I got to pick out her cake this year. So I picked Tinkerbell. She loves Tinkerbell and the movie. She said that I picked her favorite.

She couldn't wait all day for Grandpa to get home so that she could go to their house to open presents. She walked in the door and said "Mima why didn't you decorate it's my birthday" we all couldn't stop laughing. Kids say the darndest things. Well I don't know who was more excited Vanessa or Trista but my mom decided instead of just giving her her bday gifts she had to go on a scavenger hunt. She loved it. Vanessa got to read the clues. It was a lot of fun. 

Trista had told me for weeks she wanted me to take cookies to her class for her birthday. Well a couple of nights before (after I got the cookie stuff) she told Vanessa she was going to have chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting and sprinkles well that was a shocker to me so of coarse I didn't have everything to make that so I had to go to the store again. Luckily I had to go get her bday cake. She loved them and so did her preschool class. It floored me watching her hand out her cupcakes how big she is and its so neat and sad at the same time. 

This weekend Fun...

I thought it would be cute to try on the girls headband on Natalia well everyone thought that it was so cute I had to show you a picture of it. Ryan said wow she finally has hair lol.

Well on Saturday Ryan's family was in the area and we got together and had lunch to celebrate Trista's bday early (which is Tues) and then we decided to walk around the temple since a lot of the family hadn't seen it yet. It was so cute hearing the girls tell them all about the open house. After we left the temple we went to Burley where we celebrated Grandpa Dilworth's 90th birthday wow what a great turn out there was.

Natalia's infection

Well I thought that I would update everyone. 

A few weeks ago we noticed a bump on Natalia's cheek and it didn't seem painful so we just kept an eye on it and hoped that it would go away. Well after a week it didn't go away or get smaller so I called my nurse who in turn told me to come see the Doctor. I wasn't thrilled to have to take her in but hoped it would turn out to be nothing. Well turns out that she had blocked glands in her cheek that were very infected. The doctor was very concerned about it since he says it is very uncommon in babies. So we went and got med's for her. Thankfully she really likes the flavor of the medicine and gets so excited when you get it out of the fridge. After a week it has finally started to disappear.  Bad fall is that the medicine makes her very cranky so that hasn't been fun at all but we'll be ok. There is still a little bump on her cheek with a little red spot but if you didn't know her you wouldn't know any different. So I am greatful that it was taken care of with just medicine. So if anything changes we'll let you know but as of now she is doing much better. 

Natalia 6 month pictures

Ryan, my mom and I went to Twin yesterday and decided to get Natalia's 6 month pictures taken since we haven't taken professional pictures of her since she was 2 weeks old. 

Her outfit we just adore. Our friend Laura sent it to her from England for Christmas. Thanks Laura for spoiling her :) We got lots of complements on it while we were there. 

So I was hoping she'd do great since she is always smiling and always so happy. Well she has got to the point she is not a fan of strangers and the photographer was no exception. But after me getting so tired of peek-a-boo we got some cute pictures. Can't believe she is 6 months old already and yes she is sitting on her own.
