The day that my mom left after watching Sawyer while we went to Havasupai, my dad called and said that he had an unexpected business trip to Phoenix coming up! Hooray! We were so excited that we got to see both of them within the same 2 weeks! He was pretty busy the first couple days he was here, but made it up to our house on Thursday night for some pizza and a little hanging out. Then Friday night I had to work which sucked but he Nathan went and picked him up and they spent the evening together. Nate had a Young Men's activity or something on Saturday so my dad babysat while I slept that morning after working! He did a great job! He took Sawyer to Costco, bought him a sweet Buzz Lightyear car, fed him breakfast and lunch, put him down for a nap...pretty much did the whole thing!! I was very impressed.
And then we went to Desert Ridge shopping center and let Sawyer play in the splashpad while we drank smoothies. That evening we got a sitter and hit up a movie, just the three of us. It was a fun weekend and so great to be able to spend some time with him! Sawyer loved him so much... and he loved his I-Pad too! :) Haha. Thanks for coming, Daddy!
Of course we neglected to take pictures the whole time. I just had a few from that night when he came over for pizza.

ahhh I'm so jealous.
so fun to see that "barely younger than me" grandpa! Those unexpected opportunities to be together are priceless!
So fun Jess! And I have to say that I'm a little jealous myself! Hopefully we can figure out a time to get together!! Love you!
Loved these pictures! How fun is that to have both your parents in a space of two weeks. And i loved your previous post about your trip to Havasupai (sp?) I am glad Nathan is still alive...that is so scary! You are definitely a lot braver than I am. I swore off camping, and you not only went camping, but hiked in as well. You guys are hard core. Love you!
You are so lucky he got to come and visit. Any visit from any family is always such a "pick me up"
