The Armijo Family

2012-01-22T18:17:00.000-08:00

Well it is clear that I suck at keeping in touch and updating anything about our little family. However life is good. We are all healthy happy and busy little bee's. Daddy Curtis has been making it all happen. He is working on finishing up his degree in Dietetics, working at Banner Good Sam Hospital, being a good dad and husband. One of the big high lights this year was that we were able to go to his first NYG Football Game because they came to play the Az Cardinals. Oh yeah they won. Also he became one of the biggest D-backs fans, attending at least 15 games this season. Nichole and I both enjoyed going on dates with him to the games. Nichole is our big SECOND GRADER! Toot Toot Nichole is a straight A student too! She just turned 7 at the end of December which is hard to believe. This past summer she was on the City of Mesa swim team. She did awesome! Made it to the second round of the semi finals. She loves playing outside riding her bike or scooter. But don't let that fool you she is all girl. She loves curling her hair, getting dress-up and even trying to wear make-up. Nichole has really been blessed has so have we with some really awesome friends. Rachel from school is a sweet girl and they get alone wonderful. The Cook's and Garn's are also her favorite friends to go to the park with or just hang out with. Nichole is a close to perfect child and big sister. I am not sure that it gets any better then her. Brother Curtis is well my baby boy. Even on a good day he is wild and funny thing is I don't know that we would change it. Curtis can melt our hearts and drive us crazy all at the same time. He is almost 3 and super busy. He loves to ride the quad, his bike and play football. He also has a good time getting into all of Nichole's treasures. lol isn't that what all little brothers do. He has been working very hard at being a good Big brother too. Has only managed to get hold of Stella and drop her twice in four months. But really he worries whenever she cries and always wants to help take care of her. Curtis is a great kid. Yes, that is right I did say Stella. She is the latest addition to the Armijo family. Stella Rae-Lynn joined us Sept. 17th at 11:47. She was perfectly healthy at 36 weeks and weighted in at 7lbs 14oz same has Nichole. Dad and Mom. Stella was sure a surprise and the result of all Nichole praying for a little sister I am sure. She is a bundle of love and joy everyday in our home. We are so blessed to have her. As for myself I have been doing my best to manage our family of 5. Everyday has it’s challenges that is for sure but Curtis and our kids are my world and I love them! I hope that everyone has a wonderful 2012 has I hope we do.

My Oh My How Time Fly's

2011-01-29T15:05:00.000-08:00

I can't believe we are here in 2011.This family couldn't wait to say good-bye to 2010 that is for sure. It was a year of growth if nothing else and we are closer now then we have ever been as a family. So what has 2011 brought us so far? Let me tell sickness! We have all been sick at one time or another this month. Nichole has topped the cake this past week with being really really sick and we are still working through it. We have been having some fun together with the new Clubhouse, Daddy(curtis) and Grandpa Ben build in the back yard for Christmas. We have spending lots of time outside playing at the park as well. Curtis just started another round of school and I am 7 classes away from my BA. Slowly but surely right! It will so be worth it in the end but I am ready for May :). Here are some pictures of the holidays and us just doing things.

Where has the Year Gone!

2010-09-06T08:31:00.000-07:00

So where do we start, so much change has happened within the past 8 months since my last post. Baby Curtis is 18 months-yes- one in half. He is our busy little man. His favorite word at the moment is "NO" of course. Curtis loves everything outdoors and the dogs. Nichole just started 1st grade this year. She is loves to jump rope and is still our little smarty pants. Curtis and I both are working for Banner Health and going to full-time. But we are working as such a great team that everything is going great. We have done some really fun things this summer. We went to the Grand Canyon (which was everyone's first time but mine). We stayed in Williams which was fun to watch the Wild West cowboy fight in the streets and took the train to the Canyon. We also went to Kingman and stayed in cabins. Back up to Williams with my parents for the rodeo (again a first for everyone but me). We all enjoyed it. In Mesa we made it to Golfland Sunsplash. Nichole still loves the rides and to our surprise baby Curtis did too. Overall we happy, maybe a little to healthy and as close as ever as a family.

2009 In a nutshell

2010-01-08T09:35:00.000-08:00

Looking back on this year has it comes to a close; I think of all the great blessings that the lord has given us. The gift of Little Curtis for starters. He is now a 9-month year old and a little monster. We are fully aware of why we had him at this time in our life’s. He has been teething since he was two months old. Yes I said that right, so you think that he must have a mouth full-guess again only six. Curtis is a crawling little guy. He loves his sister to pieces and he has truly brought a great joy to our family. This year was one of change as well. Nichole will be five (I can’t believe it) this month. This year she started Kindergarten and all day at that. I wasn’t sure that she was ready but she passed the test and has been doing wonderful since day one. She also started playing soccer this year. Everyone tells us how fast she is and she just reply’s by saying, “ I have super speed.” Nichole has made a few good friends at school, some in the neighborhood but still loves playing with her cousins the most. Curtis is one busy man. He is a wonderful father and husband. Between work, church and family I am not sure how he finds any time to just relax. (But you better believe he has found the time for a NYG game and to go riding a few times) Curtis has had a huge change this year, he said goodbye to Bashas after six and half years. He is now the head Store Manager for The Kitchen in Scottsdale. It has been a huge change with a lot of challenges but he is happy with the move and more important knows it was the right thing for him. He is working with Brad (who is the GM for the company) all I have to say is the poor employee’s- just kidding. As for me I have just been trying to make all work. I have been going to school full time; I am two classes away from my AAEE and then onto the big university for a year. I guess that the ten-year plan is for me. I have worked a little and am thankful for my sister’s who have helped make that and school happen. Besides the regular mommy and wife duties, I have been able to make some great friendships with some ladies from church. We were able to go camping a few times this year, make it to Kingman and have a short but good trip to California. We went to Disneyland with my sister Suzie and her family. This year we planned on spending five days there, giving us more time to spend with family. When Curtis changed jobs two weeks before our trip we were just lucky enough to have the three days that we got. We love and miss everyone and hopefully this year we will be able to spend more time and keep in touch better with everyone. (Sorry we are so horrible at that).

New Pictures of the kids

2009-11-04T12:01:00.000-08:00

So we finally got pictures done with the kids. We got them taken in October so Curtis was six months and Nichole was four in half. I am so happy with how much they love each other. I just can't believe how fast they are growing up.. I want them both to be babies forever, not really but a least not to grow up so fast.

Goodbye Bashas

2009-10-02T22:00:00.000-07:00

As some of you know Bashas has been having trouble, over the past year there have been a number of changes that I will start by saying we have not agreed with. Over the past 7 years we have seen Bashas change a lot and almost nothing has been for the good. For sometime we have felt that we need to get out. We have been applying to many jobs even ones outside the country. Curtis hit his all time stress level last week and started shutting down. By that I mean he just didn't seem to have any energy to want to focus on work so he took a few days vacation within those few days he was lucky enough to get a phone call from a friend and General Manager of a business in Scottsdale. He needed Curtis to start right away. Today Curtis wrote a letter and burned the bridges that he had with Bashas. It was hard to say goodbye to something that has been a part of our lives for so many years but he feels as if a ton of bricks have been lifted off his shoulders. We have made many great work friendships and meet a lot of great people. However we feel so blessed that in the hard economic times that he was able to walk away and have another job pretty much handed to him. He is now the Office Manager/Bookkeeper. All I have to say is what am I going to do with a husband that works 7-4 and has the weekends off, and not on his feet all day oh wait I am going to love all the family time.

The Big News

2009-08-21T05:37:00.000-07:00

So the Big News is my baby girl started Kindergarten. That's right all 4 years of her. She was so excited the first day.(my post is a week late)Her teacher is Mrs.Caha. Nichole is so much my daughter and I got a big dose the first day, has I was walking her to class she was having a hard time with her backpack because we had stuff in it that her teacher needed(baby wipes,tissues,ect..)so of course I am her mommy I went to help her only to be told ''Please don't touch me, I can do it myself." ok fine, but than we got to the classroom door and the biggest slam of all, she looked at me and said "Don't you even kiss me." I was a little crushed but I will be just fine because she still likes snuggles. Curtis and I really can't believe how big she or how darn smart. We are so proud of her. We love you Nichole...

August 2009

2009-08-20T10:29:00.000-07:00

The year is more than half way over but August has been the month of change for us. We started things off with a little weekend trip to California. My girlfriend Heather is having a baby and her daughter Ariana (who is Nichole friend)was having a birthday all in the same weekend so we made the trip up there to celebrate with them. With Bashas going bankrupt and closing 14 more stores Curtis wasn't able to go with us. However, he was ready for us to come back right after he got a little nap in after work on Friday. I was so lucky that I was able to take my niece Jewels with me to help with the kids..and a Huge help she was. We had a great time. We were able to make to the splash pad park with Suzie and the boys at the start of the month too. Also baby Curtis turned 5 months, the time has just gone by so fast(not so much the nights but the days)haha.. He has done so wonderful getting to be a big boy.He is on the top of the charts, hard to believe that at 2 weeks he was in the 2% for weight and height.. Curtis loves being outside and of course bath-time.Over all we have had lots of fun but the biggest change and news is yet to come

July has come and gone

2009-08-07T20:32:00.000-07:00

Well this summer has just gone by so fast for us. We did get a chance to do alot and each week seemed more filled with things to do than the last. We spent the 4th with Suzie, Frank and the boys and Nichole got to spend the night at her KiKi's so she had a blast. Between the spalsh pad water park, extreme play, bible camp(that's right I said that correctly)Nichole loved it she went to bible camp for a week with Ethan, Caleb, Sarah, Bell, and Tylor-- camping, Kingman, swimming and spenting time with our neighbors we were doing something all the time.

Happy Father's Day Curtis

2009-06-22T13:56:00.000-07:00

We both know how demanding and rewarding being a parent can be and though I don't say it often enough on Father's Day I want you know how lucky I feel to be sharing the decisions, the frustrations, the laughter and all the happiness with a terrific Husband and Father. I know that everyone thinks that they have a wonderful husband and father for their kiddo's and they should. However, Curtis you are our everything, you have become should a great man, I am so proud that you are my husband and the father of my children. You are really the most wonderful. Nichole and Curtis got him a picture of them in red,white, and blue outfits that says Dad you are my everyday Hero.. he really liked it and it will be a good addition in his office. We love you Curtis your the best!!

Good Old Kingman

2009-06-22T13:34:00.000-07:00

To kick off June we went up to Kingman for a week. We had a nice time. I love that I can go to Wal-mart and not run into everyone that I never wanted to see again!! My mom was so wonderful, she gets up early to get Ben off to work and would take care of the baby Curtis and I got to sleep in... thanks mom.( ok ok she couldn't put the baby down and almost had a heart-attack if I would let him cry for more than a second.) We didn't plan anything I hang out with my mom alot and Curtis went riding alot. We did get to spend time with Holen and Micah of course, Nichole had so much fun playing at there house--also they invited us to a 2nd chance prom stake dance it was a good time but bad for us that Curtis and Micah aren't big dancers. We went to Daylene's wedding and just enjoyed our time up in Kingman.

Sunny Days

2009-05-22T13:12:00.000-07:00

Yes sad but true, the summer days are here for us. However that means one thing in the Armijo house. Swimming and lots of it!!! Baby Curtis hated it the first few times but the water was still a little cold, but now he loves it just like the rest of us..

Nichole is grown UP!!

2009-05-22T12:51:00.000-07:00

My little girl is grown up. She is all done with Pre-K. She tell us that she is now a big 4 and can't wait to go to Kindergarten. One small problem she isn't 5 until Dec. The program that we were going to put her has been cancelled so we have been at odds with what to do. Well we got her tested and she starts Kindergarten on Aug. 12. 2009 Nichole is the only one so far to passed out 34 other children born between Sept. 1 and Dec.31 (they would be turning 5 within those dates) that have been tested at her school, testing goes through next week but they said that she is more than ready. I was a little worried but the lady that does the testing for 6 Mesa schools said that 98% of the children tested do not pass. I am so proud of her she is so smart and a really great kid. Go Nichole!!!

Just some Easter Pics

2009-04-17T17:26:00.000-07:00

Easter Sunday

2009-04-17T17:04:00.000-07:00

Easter started off with a bang Church starts at the wonderful time of 8:30 so there we were in our purple and daddy less. Curtis had to work a short shift Easter morning. After Church we headed off to Curtis's family. It was alot of fun, Cathy had done a full backyard full of eggs. She went a little over board with everything she got all the grand kids but they loved all of it. Then we were off to Suzie's and yes there was another egg hunt. Nichole was really into all the fun. We had a great day and loved spending all the time with our families, oh and we should say all the food was tasty.

Easter Fun

2009-04-17T16:55:00.000-07:00

Nichole and I had some Easter fun the Friday before Easter. We have never colored eggs. She was so excited and they turned out pretty good too.Nichole loved the glitter. We took one dozen to Curtis's family and another to mine. There is still the marks on the table of the fun night but little by little it is coming clean.

Bed time ???

2009-04-07T16:21:00.001-07:00

Please tell me what is it like to have more than two hours of sleep?? Curtis is doing good except his little tummy still is not holding more than about 2 1/2 ozs at a time. So for mommy that means he is a little clock and wants to eat every two hours or every hour. It has been one month of doing this and I am tired. Nichole has been having alot of lung problem this past week too, she is up and down all night with coughing. We have put her back on a breathing machine, which is helping but only if we really stick to it and do it every four hours. So for mommy that means yes you guessed it up in the night to do those.. I love my kids and being a mom is the best, however I would love a little more shut eye... it will pass and one day I know that I will look back and probably want these days back=)

Curtis

2009-04-07T15:57:00.000-07:00

Curtis went to chruch for the first time last Sunday.. He did look so cute. He was my little man. But has you can tell he much have know that chruch is three hours long so he let us know how he felt about having to get all dressed up. The red face says it all or maybe the hand in the face as if to say it is bad enough you have me wearing these clothes now your going to take my picture too.

Garden Time

2009-04-07T15:50:00.000-07:00

So about two weeks ago Curtis and Nichole started planting the garden. This year we started it inside in the planter's because last year only have of our garden ever came up out of the ground.Nichole had alot of fun pushing the seeds in and it was wonderful because they only took about two days to start coming up. She was so excited that every day she was checking them so it was good that it only took a few days. We have a big spot in the backyard that they were all moved to Sat. We hope that we have a good growing season!! Every year we seem to learn a more about gardening so we are due for a good one!!

Update

2009-03-30T13:31:00.000-07:00

Update!! So happy days Baby Curtis is pasted his birth weight!! He weighed in at 6lbs 9ozs on Friday. He gained a half of a pound in 4 days. So now I can go two whole weeks without seeing the doctor. Also good news I went to the doctor today for my two week check (really it has been 3weeks) so that they can check the c-section cut only to find out that everything is great she can't believe how good everything looks and she even cleared me to go back to work. I am going to be working just one or two days a week. So wish me luck because Curtis is my manager=)

Two Weeks

2009-03-24T10:22:00.000-07:00

Our little Curtis was Two Weeks on Monday!! He is now 19 inches and 6lbs 1oz. Lets just say we have been seeing the doctor every three days because they are concerned with him not gaining weight. They were hoping to have him at least back at his birth weight on Monday but that wasn't the case so we go back on Friday and I hope that he is back at 6lbs 6ozs. We have gone from counting milliliters to him know drinking about an 1oz and half every two hours. I guess that a newborn is normally drinking about 3ozs at a sitting by two weeks. At least he isn't losing weight anymore and we have a good doctor just wish that I wasn't seeing so much of him.

Curtis John-Adam

2009-03-12T09:21:00.000-07:00

So we got an early surprise on Monday March 9th, Our little guy wanted to come to the world a few weeks early and there was no stopping him ( which they tried for about 6 hours and that just made him mad) So Monday at 7:57 through c-section all 6 pounds 6 oz and 18 inches of him joined this earth. He looks just like his daddy and has the feet and hands to prove it.We are all doing well. Very happy he is here and doing ok. Nichole loves that he is here and just can't believe it.

Caramel Apples

2009-03-04T17:33:00.000-08:00

We had some friends over for a little bit of Caramel Apple making last night. Nichole would be in some of the pictures had see not put her finger in the hot caramel. So mommy and Nichole were over putting ice on it. But she did get to make one.

The Zoo

2009-03-04T17:20:00.000-08:00

Well we have a zoo membership so we go to the zoo all the time. However, Curtis doesn't get to make it that much because of work so it was a big deal to Nichole that daddy was able to go. With the weather being so nice we have been taking full advantage of it before it is so hot that we just want to stay inside. Nichole and Curtis went on a Camel ride, got to brush the goats in the petting part of the zoo and her favorite thing was touching the sting rays!! This was a really fun day.

The Big V-Day

2009-03-04T17:06:00.001-08:00

The big FEB 14th. We had a wonderful day. In the mid morning we went to the park and the weather was perfect. We played some basketball, Nichole loved riding her bike, and we watch some soccer games that were being played. Went to a late lunch at Chile's which we do every year because that was were our first date was and when Curtis asked me to marry him it was Feb 14th and he took me back the the same Chile's that we went on our first date too. Really it was just so nice to just spend the day together and not have anything else to be done. Nichole had a V-day party at school and just looked to cute.. Oh but I almost forgot Curtis is a sucker for his little girl, he got her the cupcake of her dreams and a hamster for the big day... yes a hamster she loves it.

Super Bowl

2009-03-04T16:49:00.000-08:00

Well the new year is off to a good start. One of the first things that we did was the Super Bowl. Curtis was so sad that the NYG didn't make it this year but yeah it only took them 30 years, so I told him maybe in other 30 he will see them there again. We did have lots of fun, we went down the street to some friends house and watch the game with a few families from our ward. Curtis and Nichole got into the Az spirit with some red hair!!! to bad Az didn't win..

What a busy month

2008-12-30T07:23:00.000-08:00

Well Nichole ended dance class this month. She is unsure if she would want to do it again, I think that it would have been better if her teacher was more playful. But she sure did look cute every Saturday. We made it to the temple lights of course but Christmas just kinda creeped up on us this year so we didn't really do much seasonally stuff. Nichole finally got her own quad she didn't believe us that it was hers because we had to get it about a week before Christmas, it was in the garage and we lied to her that it was for the kids across the street. So Christmas morning she was a little confused, but loves riding it. Also this month our little girl turn 4!!! She wanted to have a party at Chucky E Cheese, it was lots of fun..I can't believe that she is getting so big some days it seems like yesterday I was bringing her home for the hospital. This month has seemed so busy but was filled with lots of joy. I also got a special gift Susan Lutz and the boys were able to come by and visit on there way to Todd's mom in Bullhead... I hope that everyone had a great month and has a Happy New Year...

2008-12-04T17:35:00.000-08:00

Well I know that I am so late on the Halloween picture,but better late than never. Here is just a short post of some fun pictures of things that we have been up to in the past few months. There is Curtis and Frank on a ride that was so cool. Also we have been riding with the weather being so perfect and gas prices going down everyday. So there is Burt pushing Grandpa Ben out of the big hole that he road right into. (of course I am missing out this year but for good reason) We hope that everyone is having a wonderful holiday season.

So do you want to know???

2008-11-13T14:12:00.000-08:00

Well before I get to it. I am going to give a little background. Some of you know and others not so much. Curtis and I have been trying to have another baby for about 3.5 yrs. We have had a hard time with this and many ups and downs and alot of I DON'T KNOWS from doctors.. I had a tubal in Feb of 2007 and lost my right tube but other than that everything else has worked perfectly for both of us, so we started the drugs and painful tests to try for a baby for the past 1.5 years. So in June of this year we just could handle it anymore, quit everything and looked into adoption. Well we found out we were pregnant the next month. So the news We are having a baby BOY!! due in March and everything is going wonderful.. Sorry to all of you who are just finding out but with everything we have gone through we kept this on the down low.

2008-10-30T16:50:00.000-07:00

So at the 3rd of Oct. we headed out to California. We got there in good time and set up camp. Suzie, Frank and the boys were camping too. They had stayed at the campground before, it was nice to have the shower and swimming pool.. So we made it to Legoland with the Witt's we had a really fun time. Nichole was able to go on all the rides but a few , she really loved it. We also made our way to San Anna to see family, it was so nice to see everyone we really do enjoy the warm welcomes everytime we come. So it seemed like the four days went so fast but we went rushing and that made it 100% wonderful.

Busy Busy

2008-09-17T08:54:00.000-07:00

Well at least I feel like I have been so busy!! Nichole has been in Pre-K for a few weeks now and isn't loving it but doesn't hate it either. I think that she is having a hard time making friends the girls seem to be really girlie and Nichole thinks boys are gross. Curtis has been busy at work which is a good thing good sales these days mean he will have a job tomorrow. No things are not that bad but Bashas has fired, layed off, or retired 130 member in the last 6 months!! As for me I have just been trying to keep up with the house and the baby's that I have been watching. Being pregnant is hard enough but with it being Vickie's Birthday we ended up finding a reason to go out alot. We started with the couples going to Dinner Friday Night, then a girls night out at Dave and Busters Saturday, Sunday night dinner and Monday night D-backs game. So anyways I am just tired... But I have been having fun and would have done it all again the same way. I will say that I am so happy the early mornings and late evenings are finally starting to cool off again. I love fall and winter!!

Nichole Started Pre-K

2008-09-03T08:52:00.001-07:00

So today was Nichole's first day of Pre-K. Yesterday Curtis went to work late so that he could take Nichole to meet-your-teacher. Her teacher is Mrs. Rogers she was able to pick her desk and color her name tag. This morning she was so excited to be going back to school. We walked to school to find out that she was the leader of the line (they go by last name) so she was happy about that, I guess that there are a few good things that come from everyone messing up your last name. She is the youngest in class at 3 and half but she will be starting school at 4 next year with this age group so I am sure she is going to fit in just fine. She was the youngest last year in Preschool too and had no problems. She loves learning so much and she's pretty smart she has no problem keeping up in fact she is ahead of some of the older ones. She can already spell her name and Curtis's, it is a little large but hey she's 3.This Pre-K is through the public schools it is a little bit more than we were wanting to pay, but I know that it will be worth. I am just so happy that she is so excited about school, and going to be able to learn so much.

2008-08-14T18:40:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we went to California. Curtis' grandmother passed away. We know that she is no longer in pain and is with our Heavenly Father is his Kingdom. Nichole will not ever really know her. I am sure that there will some story's but I am just so thankful that she has not one but two Grandmother's that will give her a life time of memories.There was something good that came from all of this. Curtis was able to see cousins that he hasn't in years, I meet more of the family but there was one person that I am so glad I meet. Uncle Max!! He is the man with all the knowledge, he done the family line back to Columbus... I so wanted some where to start and to know that so much is done was so wonderful.

Camping

2008-08-04T09:19:00.000-07:00

We went to White Horse Lake about 20miles from Williams Az with the Witt's,McFaddens, GM and Nissan.Camping was lots of fun. We were able to get there Friday about noon and set up camp. Nichole and Curtis tried to do some fishing but didn't have much luck. There was lots of playing in the woods for Nichole and Aggie (our dog).Curtis even took Nichole out on a raft on the lake that was funny to watch, Curtis's side was almost in the water and Nichole's side was on air instead of the water. But they had fun, and got some sun on the lake. Caleb and Nichole played so much I think that they both loved being outside and the freedom of the woods. It was nice being about to spend time with Suzie, Frank and the boys. It was nice and relaxing all but trying to keep Nichole sleeping in her own sleeping bag. Which of course was my headache good thing I guess that I have a King Size sleeping bag. We did get a little rain but the tent held up with no problems. There was allot of funny things that happened but this one takes the cake. About 2:30 in the morning Curtis keeps telling me every five minutes or so that Aggie need to go outside to go potty. I just act like I am sleeping hoping that he will get up, so finally I was got up and Aggie was snoring away. I went back to sleep and within a few minutes there was some noise right around the tent and loud crunching. Curtis sits right and say that's not Aggie and gets a little on edge. Anyways long story short is was an animal eating the dog food that we forgot to bring into the tent.

Deer Farm

On the way to White Horse Lake for camping we stopped by the Deer Farm outside of Flag. It was fun. Then had a trail that you walk on and get to see different kinds of animals Then there is a large area that you walk in where you feed the Deer. Nichole was a little scared at first because the Deer all rush you but she loved being able to feed them, as well has the mini horse and cow.

Tired!!

Ok so I will just let this out of the bag before Curtis does, So Saturday morning we signed up to go work on the LDS Welfare Farm we had to be there at 5:30 am and it was an hour drive. So we got our map and head out about 45mins in we knew that we had to be going the wrong way, so when thing started to get us worked up we remembered that wonderful little button called onStar.. we got there just in time, and come to find out the person that did the map got the street names mixed up.. So we worked on the cotton field and when it was time to go Curtis wants to know where the keys are because I was the one that drove.. You see I put them in my pants at the top because I had no pockets, and no keys when he asked. Luckily it only took going up and down a few rows in the field to find them. So we got home in time for Curtis to go to work and me to have a play date with the new children that I am going to watch. It made for a long day, and to top it off we had to do Curtis Store Inventory at midnight Saturday into the morning. So the much needed nap that we got from about 9:00 the morning to 1:00 was great thanks to my sister who watched Nichole, and then we had Dinner there too.. Not a bad ending to a tiring weekend. So with that said good night and have a good week.

Big Surf

2008-07-24T15:39:00.000-07:00

So today we went to Big Surf.. It was alright but it sucked because they were all about the 48'' tall we thought that since Sunsplash and Big Surf were run by the same owners we didn't think that they wouldn't be so anal but they were. Maybe they have had some problems in the past who knows. We did have fun but just not as much as last week. So next week we are going camping we should have some good pictures and things to say about that hope we don't get rained on ++

Sunsplash Park

2008-07-18T06:54:00.000-07:00

So yesterday we went to Golf Land Sunsplash. We got there right when it open at 10:00. Nichole couldn't believe it. We knew that the day was going to be great or she would be hate. So we took her life vest and she was able to go the slides that you can do double tubes with Curtis or myself. She loved it. So we went down everyone even the black hole a few times the lines were short, so that was nice. Then we went to the tubes that you just go down on your back, we didn't think that they would let her go because she wasn't 42'' tall but they were so cool about it and were like she has a life vest on and the parents are right here so no big deal she can go. One problem she had to go by down the tube by herself. The first time that she went we had to kind of make her and she was a little mad I think because her little body went so fast and she didn't know what to expect. A little later on in the day we went back and she wanted to do them again. So need less to say we had a really great time and it was wonderful that Nichole is a little rough thing. So know that we know that she loves it we will be going to Big Surf before the end of the month.*** Oh I almost forgot it was a 108 out and guess who is as red as a lobster, we put on sun block every hour to be on the safe side. Curtis just got a little darker and Nichole has like olive color to her now but mama is bright red I don't get it I guess I am just glad that Nichole got Curtis skin and not mine!!***

The Armijo Family

2008-07-12T09:01:00.000-07:00

So I guess that I will just give an update as to what we have been up too. June was filled with action. We started the month off with Curtis having surgry on his shoulder. Everything has been healing well. Nichole had a problem with running into walls and almost knock herself out twice. Also we took about two weeks off in June to spend time in Kingman- My brother and his family came from Germany and we got to spend alot of time with them- that was wonderful!! So that brings us into July, for the 4th we had all of Curtis's family over for swimming and a bbq(a little Rock Band and Sarah's game singing wars)then we went over to Vickie and Burts to watch the fireworks. We have just been trying to stay cool with going to the water park, zoo nights and just hanging out with friends and family.
