happiness

i didn't know someone took this picture until months after that day spent on the beach at Tel Aviv
but i am so glad they did

its nice to have a real, candid moment of what you look like being so happy

D.C.

i went to Washington D.C. and had a marvelous time

baby boy

jason is the cutest little boy ever

here is the proof:

(he says "jason. i love amy" sorry for my loud laugh at the end)


he said that all by himself- melt my heart!

did you check out those dimples?

nannying him has made me want to have a sweet boy like him when i grow up and become a mom :)

birthday belgian waffles

when andrew and i finally got around to celebrating his birthday we went in style

aka

Bruges in downtown Salt Lake!

Bruges has the most authentic Belgian Waffles, 

it was started by two Belgian brothers so it is the real deal 

they import all their ingredients from Europe and in a word: divine!!!!

this is our 2nd annual birthday celebration for mister andrew darling. the first year i made him dinner and cupcakes, but i think this year was defiantly an upgrade. going to Bruges is such a treat

year one and two

we waited to go out till andrew got back from his trip to Europe

he went on a business trip and was the Netherlands, France and Belgium

he actually got to visit 4 out of the 5 cities he served in as a missionary

so having just been in Belgium (as well as lived there for 2 years) he can authoritatively say Bruges are the closest you can get outside of Belgium 

it was pleasant evening so we ate outside and just chatted away

so happy we are friends and we could celebrate together
