The Big News

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

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

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

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

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

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!!

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!!!
