A Mothers Nightmare!

My JonJon went skiing Saturday with friends and returned with a hugh bump on his right elbow. Of course I freaked out as he showed me his injury. I don't even want to tell you how freaked out I got when I looked at his elbow and how mad I got when he showed it to me with a big smile and said,

• Jon:  "MOM it's nothing" 
• Me: "Oh my God, That's nothing?
• Jon: Laughing Mom don't worry.
• Me: Worry my ass, We are fricken going to Emergency NOW!
• Jon: still laughing, Okay let me at least go take a shower before we go!
• Me: Shower my Ass, Rudy get my keys!
• Jon:  Again still laughing, God okay okay let's go!
• Mom: That's right Listen to your Mama and "MARCH" to the ER!

Turned out it was just a real bad bruise and just needs to soak in ice.  "Thank GOD"

Half hour later,

• Me: Where you going Jon?
• Jon: To a party in Hollywood!
• Me: ERGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   

Meeting Baby Ryan

I finally met Ryan James last Saturday and let me tell you it was worth the wait! He is such a sweet baby with a awesome little personality and so smart for his age, 9 months. He goes up on my top list of favorite babies. His Mommy is Trish and very proud Grandma Dottie Rae. They are Angela's very good friends.  

Saturday afternoon we spend the first part at my house and the second at Um, Downtown Disney. ( Yay? ) I could care less about going to downtown Disney but hey I went to help Angela with the Triplets and to be in good company of two wonderful friends and it was such a warm afternoon.  Rudy opt out in going with us, ( The Coward) Ha! 

The Triplet can't get enough of this little guy. They love him to pieces. 

I love this picture of Trish with Haydan & Kieran

Toward the end of our day, Dottie Rae treated the Triplets with their very own Build a bear. They had so much fun picking out the bear, watching it get stuffed and sticking a little heart in the bear. They love their little bears, well not exactly bears Kieran & Haydan picked out a cute Doggy and Presley picked out a sweet moose with a red bow on top of it's head.

Thank You Dottie Rae for a great ending to a beautiful day! 

The best part of going to Downtown Disney with the Triplets is "The Goggle Eye" The minute we get there Haydan wants to go immediately to check out Donald Ducks great big goggle eye!  He stand right underneath it and stares at it for a long time with a great big smile. Awww it just melts my heart away every time I witness his excitement with that darn eyeball.

Priceless Moments gotta love it every time!

Bear's oh my!

My New Addicton

Lord help me! and help Rudy's wallet Ha! I have a new addiction and it's Lashes! Beautiful Lashes. A friend got me hooked and it's been heaven. I have to drive 45 minutes to a beauty salon to have them put on and takes about 20 minutes. It's so worth it because ladies they stay on up to 3-4 weeks on. Oh ya I'm loving my lashes. 

My Nephew Scott

This past weekend we had to say goodbye to our Future Family Doctor, my nephew Scott. God only knows how much I love this kid. Who is this kid you ask? He's my sister Ingrid's son.   I'm glad I was able to spend time with him while out here in California for winter break. He goes to University of Chicago and in June will be graduating and has made the Dean's list every year since he started College. Scott has made us all so proud to be in his life. Did I mention before he was class of 2005 Valedictorian. Yes he's the studious one in the family.

I'll stop bragging about him for now because I need to save that for later.

Scott stay warm, Be good and can't wait to be there when you Graduate with honors again!

My New Year's Resolution is not to make any more NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS! this way I don't set myself up for further shortcomings. I just need take it one day at a time, and stay focused. This year my goals are: 1.TRY to live a healthier lifestyle. I will try to lose some weight. Diet and exercise should be a part of my vocabulary now. 2. Work on Health. I am not getting any younger. Regular checkups, exercise, relaxation, healthy eating is all I need. oh, and those vitamins are important too. 3. I resolve to complete all tasks in a timely manner. In other words, I should stop PROCRASTINATING. This list could go on and on and on... But at the moment these 3 things just happen to cross my mind. 

Christmas with the Weydemullers

Christmas with the Weydemullers

We had a delicious Christmas dinner that Patrick prepared and made all by himself. Everything taste delicious. Thank You Patrick for all your yummy dishes.

Garden of the Gods

Last week Jon, Rudy, My dad, Patrick and me went to the Garden of the Gods. This was my second time there and I wanted to take Jon so he can see what I have been talking about when I went. Jon was taken away by all the beauty. It was so cold when we arrived and stayed cold till we left about 20 degrees but I was so glad that the sun hung around all day.    

Movie Time

Okay my family gave me such a hard time for taking pictures inside the movie theater. They could not believe I would do such a thing. You know what I had to say about that "WHATEVER"!

 Last weekend we all went to the movie theater and watched " The Tale of Despereaux" Cute movie. The Triplets loved it and my boys loved it and that's all that matters.

Heading back Home

Patrick saying goodbye to the Wifey and his Babies

 Early Tuesday morning at 5:00 am we headed back to California,  and brought back three special packages. Yes! the Triplets and my sister caravan back with us. Patrick stayed behind but will join us in California soon. We drove over a thousand miles and enjoyed every bit of it. You would think traveling with three, Three year old in a car for over 18 hours would drive anybody crazy, Your wrong!  Kieran, Haydan and Presley  as always such well behaved kiddies. We just had to make many pit stops along the way so they can run around and stretch their legs and arms. I would call these pits stops, " Exercising the doggies" Ha! We all took turns driving both cars and at times driving each other crazy. 

The hardest drive for me was driving past Las Vegas without stopping! GOD I was like a dog foaming at the mouth as we passed by and of course my family had a great time poking fun at me. Damn them!

Mama's Feeling Complete

My Baby arrived Denver Airport this afternoon and Mama feels so complete now that Cory has arrived. Yay! I'm so proud of my son for waking up at the crack of dawn and being very responsible for himself. I have to say I was a bit nervous of the thought of Cory flying solo. This was his very first time printing out his boarding pass, checking himself in for the flight and going to the right gate to catch his flight and arriving safely into Mama's arms. Thanks you Grandpa (Rudy's dad for driving Cory to the airport in the morning. I just noticed my son has on the same cloths on the day we left!!! I wonder if he did laundry while I was away. Lord help me. Yikes teenagers gotta love them.

Colorado Here we come!

HERE ARE FEW PICTURE OF OUR ROAD TRIP. STORY TO FOLLOW..... I'M TO BUSY. SORRY. Thanks for your E-MAILS and as requested here are a few pic.....

Leaving my Baby Behind

Cory did not come along with us on our road trip to Colorado. As a mother my heart started to race when he announced he could not come due to Concert's he has lined up to play with his band. Than my heart really started to pound of the thought of Cory home alone especially on Christmas day. Cory reassured me everything was going to be alright and he will act responsible. I had no choice but to say okay stay. I had to think quickly "How can I get my child to Colorado to join us ASAP?" I got on the computer and booked him a one way ticket to Colorado due to arrive on Sunday morning. Hurray I'm so excited. Cory was okay with this, He is able to play in his concerts and be with us at the end of the weekend. Now that makes Mama so happy.

Holiday Road Trip

You think just when I finish getting my dose of Weydemuller Triplets I would be satisfied. Hell to the NO!  AUNTIE NORMA is headed back to Colorado, But this time I'm headed back with Da hubby, Our Boys and My Mom & Dad. I'm so excited. Gosh I could barley contain myself. soon we'll be on the road and headed to Colorado!  to be with the Weydemuller's for Christmas.  Since the Weydemullers are not able to come to California for Christmas till after the New Year due to Haydan's Surgery,  The Familia is going to Colorado to be with them. Thanks to my fast thinking and my crazy spontaneity. 

I know how excited Kieran, Haydan and Presley get when they see us. and I can't wait to always see their sweet reactions. Kieran will rub his sweet eyes thinking he is dreaming. Haydan will keep hugging and never wants to let go, and Miss Presley does her crazy happy dance by kicking her legs in the air and makes the silliest noises and Angela, just seeing her beautiful smile and the happiness on her face is worth all the long security lines at the airport or driving thousands of miles to see them.

I'm super excited because the whole family will be together for the holidays and when we all get together it become like a Chevy Chase Christmas Holiday and I hope my Dad doesn't read this But going with my wonderful, funny and very controlling man behind the wheel my Father it always become a National Lampoon's Vacation road trip.  Sorry Dad!

 I speak from experience!  My Father back in 1972 drove the Familia from Southern California to Costa Rica in 10 days  "In a 1972 VW Squareback" Oh the fun we had and the craziness that went on behind the wheel. Love ya Dad and thanks for the great memories.
