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"
