As mentioned in a previous post, we had a heavenly visit from my sister, Natali, and her 5 month old baby, Benson. It was 5 days of pure bliss. She lives in Denver now, so so far away, and I never get to see her. I was so excited when she said she was coming to see me for my birthday. It was the best present ever!! We got to spend some quality sister time, as well as just hang out with our 4 cute kids. Benson is very used to his quiet surroundings at home, so our house was a little overwhelming at times, but, he did pretty good. He loved Taylee and Rohne. And, Tristan pretty much scared him to death, which is completely warranted. That boy is dangerous!! It was so fun having a little baby to kiss and love on. He has the most contagious giggle, and smile, and I just wanted to eat him up most of the time. I went into a little depression when they left, but, I think I'm coming out of it now. It's so hard for me when my family leaves. Come back soon Nat! I love you!
I couldn't get Benson to look at the camera. He just wanted to stare at Jake, whom he really liked actually. Jake has always had a way with babies. He was so great and let just Nat & I go out by ourselves 2 times, while he watched all the kids. We got back from Eclipse one night, and he explained that it was the hardest 2 and a half hours of his life. I think it was good for him though. Thanks, Babe.
Rohne got up every morning, washed his hands, and would beg to hold Benson. He did a really good job of it too.
We found out that Benson really loved this old bouncer of Tristan's. Nat will have to find one of these on Craigslist for her house! It was hours of entertainment.
I mean, who can resist that smile? I Love that baby!!
So cute.
Natali put her fantastic baking skills to use, and made us some fantastic Halloween sugar cookies. Rohnie really liked helping. While Tay was okay just to eat them afterwards.
Of course Tristan wanted to help, and had a great time too!
The fruits of our labors. Thanks for coming to rainy Washington, Nat. The sun does shine sometimes!! It was seriously the best week I have had in a VERY long time!

Sister visits are the BEST! And sisters that come with babies are even better! Looks like you all had a really good time, and Benson is absolutely precious. :)
Well-it is up to you now missy. You have to come and visit Colorado for sure. I love it that you decided to take pictures of me when I hadn't done my hair or put on make-up. But the baby is the most adorable thing on the planet.
