more of Amy's Awesome Visit

More of our visit:

Amy, Julia and I picked apples from our front yard and then i was treated to the culinary talents of Miss K. :) Delicious Apple Crisp, Amy Style!! :) mmmm.
We walked a lot during her visit, to give her a taste for the town we dwell in. The first day she was here we walked for at least 3 hours total because sam was sick, and sitting in his stroller was the best we could do for him . poor guy.

Aren't those flowers beautiful????
On my birthday we went to church, and then Amy wanted to take me to coffee. Since dave was working, we took the kids with us!! heehee. It was super fun, and the staff even gave me my very own slice of bday cake as a gift!! i was impressed. in the picture below, you can see the ribbon i'm wearing. It says "birthday girl" and Julia made me wear it all day. :)
Sam loves 'leetles' otherwise known as tickles or a back rub . he gets 'zoned' and nearly drools all over!! haha. cutie.


Sunday was my 25th Birthday, and i have to say, i was REALLY spoiled. i thought maybe, just maybe dave would surprise me with the day off, or maybe i'd get to have a couple girls over for tea.... but no, it was awesomer than that! :)

The day began with dave telling me to stay in bed. Amy brought breakfast up to me on a tray with flowers and a candle. So classy!!
Dave asked Amy to make sure i took a nap in the afternoon.... so i did..
Amy took me out for coffee and cake (as the pictures show)....
Dave invited Carla over for me to go walking with....
and then... the sneaky sneaky people that love me...
when our walk was over we arrived home to a fully decorated home, crammed with people and food!! (chocolate fondu to be exact!!! yum!)

so... i am spoiled. i feel very loved. it was so fun. Amy asked people to tell how they met me, and a favorite memory. i'd have to say, that was my favorite part of the night. i don't like being on the spot... but it was super fun to hear the random memories from the various folks. a few things i didn't have any recollection of, i guess that's what made it so special. i was touched.

i love you all. thank you all. turning 25 was the best celebration so far. i know they only get better.
