Surrounded by Angels

Yes last night we where surrounded by Angels. That is Angel players, Angel Fans and people like me who just wanted to be around Angels. (Ha). Don't ask me what the final score was because I don't know! I was to busy chatting with the girls and just having a fun time. Our Church life group (Bible Study Group) met at the Angel Stadium last night to watch the game. Thank you Mike & Debbie for organizing it all. Between making snacks and drink runs and making fun of who ever was acting silly. We all had a good time. .Special Thanks to John for being so funny. He kept us laughing all night long.

Drama on the High Seas

Click here to view our Mexican Cruise Photo Album 2007 Okay it's been a week and I have been swamped with E-mails wanting Pictures and wanting to know all about the cruise. So here is the scoop. We had a great week of cruising down to Mexico. However this time it was full of Drama. Remember we had 4 teenage boys with us. Here is the quick download.Tuesday morning at 3:30 am Yes AM we get a knock on our cabin door. It was security wanting us to come downstairs to the security office YIKES millions of thoughts were racing in my head. It was my oldest sons friend Tyler he was beaten up by 3 boys. ( Not his Fault Mistaken identity) I won $1,000 in the casino. I hit a Royal Flush playing video poker. 12:30am Rudy & I were woken up to screaming girls having fun and having a Party in Our boys Cabin room . (Errgh) I know that this was going to be a big mistake. But Rudy rented Mopeds in Cabo for the boys. Very long story but I will make it short. Mexican cops pulled the boys over ask for money from all the boys except for Jon my oldest because " JON DECIDED TO RUN FROM THE COPS" Thank God he did not get caught! But he did manage to fall off the moped he got some scrapes and damaged the movie camera,( found out later while watching the video Jon was driving the moped and was video taping " AT THE SAME TIME" Tyler burned his leg on the moped muffler, Cory my youngest fell off the moped scraped up his arm pretty bad and let's not forget Rudy gave him his expensive Tiffany watch so he can keep track of the time. also scraped the heck out of the watch. But wait Cory damaged the moped and poor Rudy was getting con out of lots of money for the damages. Hey it's Mexico what do you expect. After all that drama the kids wanted to go eat at the famous Cabo Wabo and have been looking forward to that throughout the cruise but I was so upset I made the boys go back to the ship. Cory had his Nipple pierced in Puerto Vallarta and Jon got his nose pierced. YES YES YES I know a parents nightmare.

We did manage to have a wonderful time considering all the drama. We ate, Party and gambled well I gambled and relaxed I can't wait for the next Cruise. Next time it will only be Rudy and I we are going on a Alaskan cruise soon!

Check out our Formal Pictures on the cruise on the right hand side of this page.

Picture below is a reminder to everyone taking a cruise. Carnival does not mess around when they say everybody needs to be onboard by a certain time. These poor cruisers where left behind in Maztalan. Carnival packed their bags and left them right on the docks. I took this picture with my zoom lense.

It's Cruising Time Again!

It's That Time of Year Again! While people are celebrating Easter with Eggs and chocolate and wearing those uncomfortable Easter clothes The Ramirez Family will be setting sail down the Mexican Rivera for 7 days. Rudy,Our Boys Jon & Cory and I are almost packed and ready to go this coming Sunday. This time each of the boys invited a friend to come along. I say the more the merrier. I am really looking forward to our family time together and alone time with Rudy. The Ship is so Big and there is so much to do on board that at times we all find each other doing our own thing. Rudy reading and checking out the Girls! I mean the pool. Me shopping on board and of course " THE CASINO" and the boys making friends and hanging out. I am so glad this time the boys cabin room will be right across from ours. Usually their rooms are down the hall and that makes me real nervous. Hopefully I will post pictures and updates as we cruise the Pacific Ocean.

Family Reunion

Sunday was such an awesome day! We finally had a long over due Family Reunion at my Parents home. The Porras, Ramirez ,Weydemuller & Ponce all together for the first time in years. My baby brother and his family moved back to So Cal from Texas last week and the Weydemuller's from Germany it was a big celebration. I know my Parents were on cloud 9 that day to see all their children and grand kids together with the exception of Scott my sisters son he is attending The University of Chicago and could not make it. It amazes me to see how much our family has grown. So I took out my camera and do what I do best take lot's of pictures. My favorite is the picture on top of this page. This picture says it all . It shows how wild and crazy we all get when we are all together. There is never a dull moment to be had at "La Casa De Choas" (Ha) (L-R) The Porras Family.
