An impromptu Sunday dinner turned into a full social occassion this weekend, complete with a pre-party =) Sunday dinner became barbeque bonanza with Bob’s new bbq grill, a ton of Tres Colores meat, and lots of yummies from Shy, Nay and Piia. A total community effort with lots of help from the gang, and the entertainment of the night provided by the lovely JLo Junior, Miss Ava, and the usually-not-so-feisty, feisty Gabriel Ramirez.
A visit from Chris, wedding pics, mommy tips, and a little Corona made the night fly by, capped off with some outrageous 310 calorie-a-slice (that’s right girls, I looked at the label) Apple-cinnamon streusel-sour cream-costco bundt cake. Yeeeee-uuum! =pics here=

Noted and Quoted: Victor spending quality time with the corn dip….. “Well Ava, mommy ate all the cake, No More!!” and Ava sashays away unperturbed … “Is it okay if I take a shower now???”…. “I usually don’t bring the albums, as I can’t carry them by myself” …. “Huuuuuuhhhhh – yaaaaay (Nay, making Gabe scream in laughter, 20x in a row – BEFORE he threw the strawberry magnet at her nose….) and the crash boom bam of the screen falling off for the third time, and Mrs. Ramirez saying “Is that my baby or my husband??” Of course, it was …. Luis!
A good time had by all, and a tired but pleased Armijo family retires to the air conditioning. Thanks gang – I needed that! Doc gave me a clean bill of health and said the kid is doing fantastic. Yippee!
Pre-Party
Saturday night started out with Lu coming over, and progressed to Paul plus appetizers plus a visit from Val and sickly Rudy and video camera. Our get togethers seem to expand exponentially without effort. And I love it, love to see everyone. After snazzy spinach dip and baguettes, two kinds of taquitos and chicken wings, brie and crackers and a mess of fruit, I was stuffed and highly entertained by Lu’s unending scrapbook and a new episode of Big Brother. All in all a fabulous weekend ….
