Lilys 1st Birthday!

Well the month of April so far has been busy but great! April 3rd was Lilys 1st birthday and to celebrate it we decided to go to visit Brandens family in St. George. At the same time Brandens dad had come to visit from California and most of the family hasn't seen him in years so everyone was there. We rented a van and picked up the boys in Spanish Fork and Lily and I had a little visit with my sister Arielle and her family. We then drove the rest of the way to St. George, which seemed to take forever, and had a nice little rest before we all went out to dinner with Brandens dad and his friend. It was nice to finally meet him and to get to be with everyone. On saturday I spent 6 hours making Lilys birthday cake with some help from my sister inlaw and my other sister inlaw and her friend decorated for the party. The party was great, Lily loved her cake so much so that she devoured it and became a green cake baby, after being rinsed off in the shower she opened her presents which she loved and headed straight to bed as she was exhausted! We came home the next day very sad to leave nanas but very glad to be back in our own home. The next sunday was Easter and Lily was able to celebrate this one since she was not a few days old like last year. She got a cute bunny, some bubbles, just a little candy, and she loved it all. Daddy then went out of town for a few days which left us locked in the house with bad weather but it has since then been just beautiful here and we are loving it. Oh yeah while daddy was out of town at a convention for work he won us a Nintendo Wii through a raffle, we are very excited becasue we have always wanted one but we didn't want to pay $250 for it. So this has been our month so far and we couldn't be having more fun. Thank you nana for letting us stay with you and for helping with the party, and thank you to everyone that gave Lily a present, was there ever a more loved or spoiled baby?

Idaho!

So as you all have heard by now the Armours have moved to Idaho. We have had multiple requests for pictures of our little place so here they are. We are livimg in a 4 plex apartment building with three bedrooms and two full baths, which is nice because now Lily (and any visitors) have their own bathroom, walk in closets and a nice little balcony patio. The only bad things being we are on the second floor, so moving in was really hard, and our neighbors are, well not to be mean but not the greatest. But these things we can live with and we plan to stay here for a year or two until we can be in the situation where we can either buy a new house or build our dream home. Branden is doing great at his new, old job and his bosses seem to be very glad he is back. My little red car broke down so until further notice we only have one vehicle. which turned out to be a good thing since we have saved money with insurance. Lily will be 1 in a few weeks and we are so excited! She has been walking a lot lately, although not very far, and she just keeps getting better and better. I have finally gotten my wish of being a full time stay at home mom due to the fact that no one is hiring because of the bad economy, and I couldn't be happier, not about the bad economy that is terrible. Also if you look real closely at the picture of Lily you just might be able to make out her first two teeth on the bootom, yeah! Well we miss everyone terribly and hope to see everyone soon, wish us luck!

Christmas, The New Year and!!!!

Well it has been forever since I last posted but life has been so busy, as I expect it has been with everyone else. We had a wonderful Christmas and it is surely a day we will never forget. Lily and I woke up at our usual time of 8:00 am, waited as long as we could, about a half an hour, and then we woke daddy. Presents were unwrapped, laughter was abundant (mostly because Lily tried to eat the wrapping paper) and a good time was had by all. We then had Brandens brother and his family over for dinner and conversation after and then we fell into bed exhausted. Not two days later we headed down to St. George for Brandens sister Laurens sealing in the temple, which we are so proud of them for doing) and and a repeat of Christmas with his family. Three days after that we headed up to Idaho Falls, Idaho to look around at our new home town. Yes the Armours are moving to Idaho. Burger King wants Branden back and they are willing to pay for it with more promised raises in the near future. It seems to be a nice place and although I am so very sad to be leaving my friends and family, my sister and bestfriend Arielle most of all, this seems to be the best thing for the future of our family. We will definatley miss our little town of Spanish Fork and all that is entailed with it but hopefully we will be happy in Idaho, and don't forget Idaho is only 4 hours away!!!! Visitors will be more then welcome!
