How cool is it that my Dad and husband share the same birthday? I LOVE IT! It was surely a "sign" when I first found out that Jesse had the same special day as my Dad, and inevitably, it sealed the deal! The Lord must have known that April 25th was a special day! Anyways, Papa and Nana came down from Seattle to celebrate and see their Buddy Boy! We grilled some yummy filet's, gobbled up some delicious bundt cake and Momma and Daddy even escaped to Dominick's for a date night with one of our favorite couples! We love having family in town because that means we have automatic babysitters! Well, we love them for other reasons too, but that's a good one! We took the Grandparents to the Desert Botanical Gardens to see the Chihuly glass sculptures and Nana and Mommy were in Heaven! We loved all the gardens, but the boys.. well.. They could have cared less really! So while the girls casually strolled, looked at every plant and cactus, and snapped pictures the boys got to be in charge of Oliver and entertaining him! I love Dads! They kinda get stuck with this job a lot..
We had a great weekend and Oliver loved getting to see his silly Papa and Nana! And I ALWAYS love getting to love on my Mom and Dad too! I miss them too much!
