Right before our Alaska Cruise Rudy surprised us with a HD camera so from now on I'm going to download all our High Definition movies on Vimeo.com I don't want to overwhelm anybody with my many hours of Alaska cruise home videos so here are just two I quickly clicked on to download. Enjoy!!!!
I can count how many years I've had a computer and been online by counting the inches on my butt. HA!
Every night I tell myself I won't be long on the computer so I could get a good night's rest. Every morning I tell myself I'll log on for a minute or two.. just long enough to enjoy a cup of coffee. (I know you're smiling because you know what comes next.)
The next thing I know hours (and HOURS) have gone by. There are time I manage to rush around and tidy up enough to satisfy myself that the day wasn't a total loss.. but the inches keep adding up. At least this is my only addiction! Right?
Okay Okay, 
You think living in California one would get use to Earthquake's. Not me I've been living in California most of my life (43 years) and I'm still not use to them. Last big earthquake was back in 1994. Northridge quake in January 17, 1994 at 4:31 am it was a very strong one 6.7. I know we Californians were due for a big one soon, so at 11:42 am yesterday when our house rattled and rolled pretty hard I freaked out. I though this is it "The Big One"Oh God and we are not earthquake prepared anymore. ( you see little by little we drank all our water supplies and the Triplets used up all our flash light batteries and my son decided to use up all our candles for those hot dates Ergh! I could go on about our supplies but I won't, I was just glad our boys where home at the time (they are never home) so when the quake hit I yelled out to Jon and Cory and we all stood under door's in the hallway till I freaked because it seemed like it was never going to stop! Jon and Cory came over to me and took control of my situation. (my son's, my hero's) The quake lasted about 30 sec. After the excitement was over I thanked GOD for my boys who did a darn good job of calming this old crazy woman down. Ha!
On Friday Rudy surprised me with tickets to see Wicked the Musical at The Pantages Theater in Hollywood. My wonderful husband had orchestra center seats. Wow I could not believe how close we were to the stage it was pretty exciting. The show was awesome. Rudy and I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you Rudy for always making my dreams come true. Muah!
Saturday I spend quality time with my oldest sister Ingrid. It was long overdue for some sister bonding time. I wanted Jon and Cory to come along with me, But they had their own plans for that day. So I gathered my sweet "Bear" and brought him along with me.
As my nephew showed off his skills by jumping off the diving board and acting crazy, I immediately headed for my camera . I love taking fast action pictures as you can see.
This morning the Hubby is off on another Vacation, um I mean business trip. I drove the Hubby to the Airport pretty early in the morning Yawn. He has Business meetings in Puerto Rico. He is addressing the media about next years DTV Transition and other stuff I don't quit understand.

But for the Weydemullers
God Said that would not do!

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.

Ketchikan is a hustling, bustling city. Outside of Fairbanks, Juneau, and Anchorage, it is the biggest town in Alaska. When you first see it, though, it seems wild. Rugged spruce covered mountains push the town literally right into the water. They were still considerably snow covered in June, which added to the feeling of wildness.
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. 
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.
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.
