Camping







We had a blast! Camping was so much fun. We got to Williams at a good hour, ate dinner then unpacked. Dave set up the tent and by the time that was done we were ready for a fire and marshmallows!! We had some hot cocoa since it was freezing cold there and Ri fell asleep in my arms and the next thing you know Dyllan asked us if she could go lie down...she had a long day! After her and Ri went to sleep, Dave and I just sat by the fire and enjoyed the quiet night. That night the temperature got down to 29 degrees. It was SOOOOO cold!!!! Dave and I didn't get too much sleep since we were a little worried about Ri because her little hands and head were so cold but she is fine and woke up with rosy red cheeks and they stayed that way the entire weekend. On Saturday we took a walk around the lake and campground after breakfast, at some lunch and relaxed while Dyllan searched for pine cones. My parents came around 3:00ish and they brought Tristan, Hannah and Zach with them. So Dyllan had someone to play with. They all went fishing and Tristan caught a crodad and Zach caught two small fish. It was beautiful on Sunday and we did not want to leave but all good things must come to an end. We are definitelygoing to make camping a family event more often.

Dyllan's Kindergarten Screening!!!

Dyllan had her Kindergarten screening yesterday afternoon and she did great! She was sooooo excited to go too! We signed her up, she went back with a teacher and they asked her a bunch of questions like "what color is this?" and "what number is this". She said she did great but forgot her last name, which is ok because she is constantly telling us she wants to be a Worthington but I told her she has to use her real name and she practiced it so she knows it from here on out. After that screening we went for the vision/hearing tests and she passed both tests perfectly. After we left she was so excited about going to Kindergarten she has her own little countdown going on! Next thing is getting school supplies...ugh what a list!!!

The Arizona Tea Party!!!

Dave turned and saw Ri and Dyllan playing tea party so he grabbed the camera!

Some random pics from this summer

Our new puppy, Solo.

Rileigh and Dyllan

Rileigh is doing great. She is almost 8 months and she now has 2 little teeth, she sits great and gets on her hands and kind of on her knees and is trying to figure out what to do next. She absolutely LOVES her big sister, if she enters the room a smile is on Ri's face. It is so sweet just watching them two together. She says "babbababababa" "dadadadada" "lalalalala" and I am working on "mamamama" but darnit, she wont say it! :) She is such a sweet little girl that gives me a huge smile when I come home from work...it makes me feel so good!

Dyllan is starting Kindergarten next week!!!!!!! Where did all the time go? How is she going to Kindergarten already??? She is very excited to go to school and is counting down the days!
Dyllan has just flourished into a beautiful, sweet little girl that LOVES to test her boundaries. I just love watching her play on her own and listen to her talking to her toys, who needs friends? Haha, only kidding. She makes her sister laugh like I have never seen a baby laugh before and loves her so much, it makes me proud. She is such a great little girl.

I will post pictures of the girls soon, I swear!

What a busy summer we have had!!!

Ok, I really didn't forget to blog, I just haven't had a lot of time!!! This summer was hectic and we had a range of emotions from very sad to very happy and a weekend or two that Dave and I agreed we wouldn't do anything because of how busy our lives have been! Since I have posted last this is what has happened :
We went to California for Dave's mom's funeral.
We went to Las Vegas to drop Dyllan off at the airport to visit her family in Ohio.
We went to Las Vegas to pick Dyllan up.
We sent Dyllan off with her grandparents for a trip to Yellowstone National Park.
We went to Colorado to see my brother who died 2 days before our plane was scheduled to land.

We bought a mini dachshund puppy.
Last weekend we relaxed and this weekend we are going camping.
Next weekend is our one year anniversary!! Yay!!
And that about sums up our summer....
