I had bottles larger standing nearly 2 weeks their is sediment in bottom of bottle is this natural.
 
You can't avoid at least a dusting of settled yeast & trub in bottles. The clearer the beer going in, the less settlings you'll wind up with.
 
No big deal. It's just yeast and sediment and is harmless. I try not to drink the last little bit out of the bottle since the yeast makes me fart.
 
Also, after chilling in the fridge for a week, the dregs get compacted on the bottom of the bottle, allowing more clear beer to be poured off. :ban:
 
Even if you filtered the beer as clear as you possibly could before bottling, you will still have sediment.
Bottle conditioning will always produce sediment as you're giving the yeast something to feed on.
 
It's completely normal and ok! The only time I do not get much (if any) sediment is when I keg the beer and if I do not finish the keg before the next brew is ready, then I bottle the remaining beer using my "Last Straw" bottle filler.

As others have said, you have given the yeast some priming sugar to feed on and carbonate, this is a natural result. Plus if there is any hop sediment or break material that makes it into the bottle, it will sink.

Congrats on your brew! How did it turn out for you? Was it your first brew? What did you make?
 
it was first and very happy nice strong flavour .I now bought glass bottles and capper for next brew.it great fun and good too drink
