I never thought I could love these babies like they were my very own, My heart always skips a beat whenever I'm with them they bring so much joy to our life.How very Blessed we all are to be able to be part of their lives. Thank You GOD for giving us these Three little miracles to love so much......I can't believe they are Three years old. Where did the time go.

I'm all Thawed out!

Yes! We are back from our cruise. Brrrrrrrr! I finally thawed out. While everybody was baking in the hot summer tempurature and trying to find a way to cool off, the Ramirez family trying to keep warm as we sailed through Alaska's Inside Passage.

We had a balcony state room on deck 11, and, quite literally, sat on our balcony with hot chocolate and watched the icebergs, whales, eagles and majestic, snow-capped mountains glide by (truly, words do not do them justice. I have never seen such beauty, inside or outside the US).

I must say, Ketchikan was my favorite port. It was my first glance at true Alaska. Juneau was so breath taking with all the snow -capped mountain's. We took a 30min helicopter ride up to the top of Mendalhall Glacier where we took in all of it's glory. It was so amazing just being in the center of it all. We trekked up, down and climbed the glaciers. This was the major highlight of our trip. How lucky and blessed we are to get a chance of a life time to experience this. Thank you to my wonderful husband for this chance. Everybody needs to have this on their Bucket list of things to do before you "kick the Bucket" (before you die).

Our third port was Skagway. We did not get to see much of this town because we took a scenic tour of the white pass and Yukon route on a Train that took much of our time in Skagway. This tour was so breathtaking with so much beauty everywhere you see. We even sat next to one of ABC's news weather girl. I won't tell you her name but she has blond hair. Ha!

Our last stop was Prince Rupert. Um this was my least favorite port. Not much to say about this little Canadian town but this was a manditory stop for NCL cruiseline for this trip. Hey but we were lucky enough to be up and close to see the Eagles out on the harbour doing what they do best, Flying around looking for food. I found a video on youtube, Eagles in Prince Rupert harbour.

NCL cruise itself was nice. They are the first to start this "FreeStyling Cruise" which I'm not a fan of. I really did not care much for it. I know 95% of me hates being told what to do but I found out, When I am on a cruise I LOVE being told what to do and when. Ha! The food was good, Oh my gosh the Hot wings were fricken Delicious. The casino sucked the slots were as tight as Hum well I don't know but they were tight. I lost alot of money trying to find out if I could loosen them... The entertainment was much cheesier than the pizza on board, that's for sure. Not much for our boys to do not enough girls their age they can hang out with. By 10:00pm it was like a ghost town onboard. There was a good mix of people. I meet so many people on board I even took a survey well sort of, I asked the wives who's idea was it to cruise Alaska and they all said, "It was my husbands dream" Hmm I figured this cruise is a "Manly Man" vacation.

I really did enjoy this trip sailing through the passage and watching big chunks of ice passing the ship by as the ship very slowly and I mean very slow passes these Hugh chunks of ice the silence of our ship as it coast down this passage was very intense feeling.

I had played a lot of bingo on Carnival cruise and enjoyed it. On this ship they had a electronic bingo handset that was $89 to play or you could play on one paper sheet for $29. The difference in odds was staggering. I was amazed at how many people must have blown hundreds of dollars on bingo.I played 4 times on this cruise.

They had a great Gym onboard. Um Rudy used it twice the first day of our cruise and the last day. I did not make it to the gym (my excursions kept me physically active and darn sore). Rudy, Jon and Cory kept busy down at the Spa thruout our cruise they all had a Detox body wrap, facial and massage treatments. God talk about a MetroSexual I have Three. Turned out towards the end of our Cruise Inga our lovely Spa girl was keeping all my men very busy. She is a dam good sales girl... K-Ching let that cash register ring!

All in all we all experience a wonderful trip we all got much more than we expected we would out of this trip. While the ship itself was very basic and more of a floating hotel than a resort, Alaska made up for all of it's shortcomings.

*Oh and ladies when your hubby wants the Manly Man cruise of all cruises tell him you "Really want to go with him" Because there is a great big PLUS in going and really makes up for not wearing those sexy clothes and high heel shoes and prance around the pool..........

With the Alaska Cruise you always get lot's of old men and I mean lot's... okay hear it goes and with lot's of old men you get looked on and made to feel like you where "20 Something again" Oh Ya Baby! Sorry Rudy but this was to funny not to tell about it............

***A Thank You goes out to many of you who called or E-mailed me regarding why I have not posted my Alaska Cruise adventures and Photos sooner. Dam can't a girl thaw out first?.. I hope my pictures of our cruise was worth your wait. Please let me know what you think .

And keep checking my Blog for lot's more pictures and of course I am putting together a movie of our adventures very soon.

Trekking on Mendenhall Glacier

Sawyer Glacier

As you can see the reason why so many people calls Alaska "The Final Frontier" because it is the untouched beauty that God has made.

The captain sailed the ship 14 miles up the fjord until we were very, very close to the glacier. I was so impressed when they expertly turned the immense vessel around in the narrow Fjord and sailed back out. The sweet light of the end of the day enriched the ethereal colors and set a serene and even spiritual mood. Does it get any better than this?

If you look closely at the picture below you will see some brave and crazy cruisers taking in all the sites in the Jacuzzi. Oh ya my kinda Peeps.

The milky blue color results from powdered rock that the glacial outflow carries.

The scenery at Sawyer Glacier was spectacular! This is just on of many mountains that were along the side of the ship as we were going into the bay to see the glacier.

Look another slide show

Skagway

Our next stop was Skagway. It is on the mainland and connected to the rest of North America by a road over the mountains and into the Yukon Territory. Skagway's claim to fame is the Chilkoot Trail, a national historic trail that was established in 1898 during the Klondike Gold Rush.

We took the White Pass-Yukon Railway. It's a 3 ½ hour breath-taking excursion on the White Pass Yukon Railroad. This 40 mile round trip climbs from tidewater at Skagway to the summit of the White Pass.

There goes my To-Do list

Okay this morning at 9am with a cup of Starbucks in my hand, Mmmmm and on a mission to complete my TO-DO list for our cruise this weekend the phone rang and it was my son Jon who goes down to the beach everymorning around 6am to surf the waves...

Jon: Mom?

Mom: Yes! (already know he wants something)

Jon: Mom My car key fell out of my wetsuit and are now somewhere in the bottom of the ocean.

Mom: J-o-n-a-t-h-a-n and what do you want me to do about it?

Jon: Can you please drop off an extra set?

Mom: NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jon: (low voice) Yes Please!

Mom: ERGH!!!!!!!!! Where are you?

Jon: Newport Beach

Mom: EEERRRRGGGGHHHHHHH! ( There goes my morning )

Well there went my morning! As I drove home after dropping off the set of keys to Jon, I decided to park and walk on the sandy beach.... Oh how nice the wind and the sand felt... I have to do this more often. Thank You God for allowing me to energise myself with your beautiful sun, wind and sand this morning. Forget my To-Do list today there is always tomorrow. Right? Besides I'm the biggest procrastinator I know.. Ha

Here are some pictures Jon took this morning. He is so talented behind his camera lens. Enjoy!

It's almost cruising time!

Oh God! In three days we will be on our Alaskan Cruise. I have been taking it easy the last couple of days I now realized, Yikes I better get cracking with my To-Do list. There  is so much to do and so little time and energy. I am still so pooped out from chasing my sweet Triplets around.....

I'm Back in California

I'm back home now. After spending 12 wonderful days with my sweet babies I still feel like I did not get enough of the Triplets. Yesterday was so hard for me as I had to say goodbye to Kieran, Haydan and Presley they do not understand why I had to leave. Oh my heart was breaking as I hug and kissed each one of them. As I gave my sister Angela a kiss and a hug I finally broke down as she left the airport. This morning I was hoping to hear my sweet Kieran singing softly by my bed as he always did at 6:oo am. Than I realized I was back home. So today I spend the day praying for the Weydemullers. I learn first hand with Triplets it's a never ending job, the minute the Triplets wake up till the second they fall asleep at night, it's non-stop work... Angela has no outside help. With Patrick's long work days, Angela does it all. I really wish they can move back to California where she can get all the family support she and Patrick need.

Here is just a few out of 2,414 pictures I took of the Weydemuller's enjoy!

Tuesday we went to a indoor pool with Angela's friend Adriana and her son Ryan. The kiddies had so much fun.

Where's Cory?

This is our Cory

Last night I called my son Cory to say Goodnight, I asked him what he was doing? He said he and Jon were at his friend Joey's place. After talking with Cory I called the Hubby to say Goodnight and here was my conversation:

• Hubby: Hello?
• Me: Hi Baby calling to wish you a goodnight, Where is Cory?
• Hubby: Um he is in Jon's Room.
• Me: Oh really?
• Hubby: Yes!
• Me: (trying not to get mad) "DO YOU KNOW REALLY KNOW WHERE CORY IS?"

ERGH!

Then as I informed him even as I am two states away I know where our son is! As I help watching over the Weydemuller Triplets, I ask myself who's watching my children.........

The Rock

Hallelujah! I finally found the church I have been searching for and would love to be part of it. It's got everything and more that I have been looking for in a church! The minute I step foot I knew I finally found it. The only problem with this church it's over a thousand miles away from my home. I have been hoping and praying that Patrick, Angela and the Triplets find a good church to attend. Before I came here I found out The Rock was close to the Weydemullers home so I took it upon myself to invite them last Sunday to attend this church with me. I said, " I'm going to church tomorrow anybody want to come? The next morning everybody came along with me even Patrick! He was feeling better and came along with us. Yay! I was so happy. The Triplets were very excited to go. Rudy and I would take them to our church when they were in town.

Here is a conversation I had with Kieran the night before: Auntie Norma: Kierry do you want to go to church tomorrow with Auntie Norma? Kieran: YES Auntie Norma: Do you remember going to church with me and Uncle Rolo? Kieran: Yes! I get to eat a "DONUT".

Haha my sweet Kieran made us all laugh! The minute I walked in this church I was at Aw, My mouth dropped everything about this church as you walk in to the right was an amazing coffee shop setup looked like a Starbucks, The had a book store and so much more. Jenny Platt Revolutions church Director of Children's Ministries I know would flip if she would see The Rocks Children's Ministries setup. Hey Jenny check out Noah's Ark. Inside is equipped with a great big play area hugh jungle gym with 3 big slides. They even rent it out for parties! As the worship service started my heart was overflowing with joy and the Holy Spirit, something I haven't experience in such a long time. After service I asked Angela and Patrick if they liked it and they did! Yay.... They will be back again. Thank You God. Below is a song that was sung during worship. When I listen to the words it just reminds me of how awesome our GOD is and what he can do.

You are GOD of this city

Never a dull moment

In the world of Triplets there is never a Dull moment that goes by. I could never finish any task I start. By the end of the day as I wash my face I realize I only put on mascara on one eye and not the other! Errgh! and I see all the different colors of food stains on my clothes yikes what a mess I am at the end of each day, But it's all worth it and I thank GOD for every crumb in my hair and down my blouse and my broken nails and undone makeup and hair and my never ending battle of trying to regain my energy to keep up with Kieran, Haydan and Presley. Thank you God for everything and allowing me to spend priceless moments with the triplets and at the end of the day as I read stories to them it's all worth IT!

Back in California

Mom and Dad has left Triplet land yesterday and are back in California. After three weeks of being here they were so ready to come back home. Dad Kieran miss his Opa especially this morning when you where not here to watch cartoons with at 6:oo am. Love you Mom and Dad see you soon.

Thank Goodness for Web Cam's

This is how I keep from missing my Honey. Our daily Web cam viewing of each others Mugs. Priceless...

Sick but not too sick to watch the Lakers

Poor Patrick was so sick, he is suffering from Vertigo and had the worse nausea. The triplets were so worried about their Popa, they were trying their best to make him feel better. They brought him things they thought would help, he had letter magnets, a brush, trains, Elmo, pillows, drawings, a doll, tongs and even a rocking horse!! It was so sweet. Although he was feeling so sick he stumbled out of bed, down the stairs and to the couch to "watch" the Laker game although he had to keep his eyes closed for most of the game.

The get well stuff the trips gave to Patrick.

Hello from Tripletland

Okay this is only my second day here and I already experienced a real "Emergency Alert Warning on the Tellie! Wow was I scared. (Really)

Auntie and her baby boys

The Triplets all went in for their haircuts and did very good. Not a tear in sight!

Yesterday Angela's wonderful friend also moved from Southern California, Adriana Guzman invited us for a delicious lunch. Thank You again Adriana for your beautiful hospitality. Below is a picture of one of Adriana's Three boys. This is Ryan. I fell in love with this shy but so lovable personality..

My sweet Kieran, How he makes my heart so happy

This is our Dad and Mom. What a Blessing to have them in our life.

Having fun and getting them all tired out and ready for bed so we can all have some quiet time.

Spontaneous Me

Okay so you know now how spontaneous I can be. I took a 7:30am flight flew two states away and here I am in Tripletland. I will post a story tomorrow due to, to much excitement in one day for all of us. I'm very pooped out tonight to Blog but I have beautiful pictures of my sweet babies. Enjoy!

Not fluffy anymore!

Our baby Bear has it's first visit to the Groomer's this morning. When I went to pick him up a few hours later, I picked up a totally different dog. Bear was no longer the furry pet we once owned but a more thinner looking dog. I know my bear is a male dog but I had the groomer put two blue bows on it's head. Well that did not last very long the minute my boys took a look at the bows they each took one off. and gave me a lecture about how male dogs are not allowed to have or own hair bows. ERGH!!!!

Last Week's Recap
