It isn't often we get company (especially from my side of the family), so when we do, it's definitely worth posting! My nephew Kolton and his sister Bailey flew out to visit us from Idaho. We were so excited to have them for a few days!!
One of the first things Kolton realized is how quickly the weather changes here. He and Justin left to go on a bike road and it was barely drizzling rain outside. Five minutes later here they are soaked from a heavy downpour.
If you look closely, you can see that Naomi is holding Kolton's hand and running with him. Even the little girls warmed right up to him. Every meal we had to take turns sitting by Kolton because they all wanted equal turns. I asked Bailey if it's like that at home...does everyone want to sit by Kolton?
We laid down for a nap (yes!) on Sunday afternoon and this is what we awoke to. They were playing a nice game of Apples to Apples...and no one was fighting! I think we need company more often!
Saturday afternoon we all went bowling and after the kids played a few video games. They were more interested in earning tickets so they could turn them in for prizes (i.e. candy).
Here's a picture taken before church. This will be our last visit with Kolton for at least two years because he is going to be leaving in two weeks for a church mission in West Virginia. We know the people there will fall in love with him as much as we do. Bailey, hopefully we'll see you in a couple of months!

Sounds like a fun visit. I, too, love company. My kids are nicer and my house is cleaner (and the meals are better...)! :)
