Gracie, too funny!

2009-09-27T10:54:00.000-07:00

Gracie was talking to Hanna and I as Hanna was putting on new earrings. She leaned forward and said, "Let me see them, oh they're so small, I guess I'll need my glasses to see them better:)" She doesn't wear glasses, but I do. Must say that an awful lot:) Then she was chatting with Ava at Hanna's soccer game about how much she loved her Barbie. She said, "This is my favorite Barbie, she is so beautiful. She is my very favorite, seriously Ava, she is my very favorite." As if Ava didn't believe her and "seriously" it is:) She is so cute and saying the funniest things ever.

Gracie's BDay 2009

2009-09-05T07:29:00.000-07:00

Gracie's 4th Birthday! We had a little backyard party! We had a bounce

house, sprinkler and swimming! Gracie loved it! I even made her cake myself! It was a whirlwind few days. Party, Disneyland and home within 48 hours! too fun!

2009-09-05T07:24:00.000-07:00

First Day of School. Morgan has Mrs. Roach 5th Grade, Hanna has Mrs. Thompson 4th Grade and Gracie has Mrs. Lisa preschool! I can't believe how big my little bugs are getting! They grow up too fast! I love being a mom:)

Gracie at Disneyland:)

2009-09-05T07:10:00.001-07:00

We took Gracie and the girls to Disneyland for her Birthday! It was an awesome day! Gracie loved being the center of attention. She loved meeting all the princesses! She was definitely star struck:) Grandma Fabrizio took us to Goofies Kitchen for Dinner. Gracie was a Ham! She kept yelling to the characters, "I'm over here, its my birthday:)" She was completely in her element! She danced with the characters and loved every minute! She enjoyed all the rides, but loved TOON Town! She keeps saying the Tea Cups were her favorite ride. Guess she loves the spinning! Thanks Connie, for taking her on them. Grandma Fabrizio and I don't have the stomach for the spinning rides. We stayed from 1030 in the morning til 1030 pm! It was a fun filled day, one neither one of us will forget!

A Day at Snowbird

2009-08-12T23:05:00.000-07:00

We went up to Snowbird for the day. This is one of our favorite family activities each summer. It's a great way to get out of the heat and have fun! Joe rode the bull. He was certain he would last quite a while and was thrown quickly.

We took the peruvian chair lift up and saw a couple of moose on the way. Once we got to the top Joe had a fabulous idea to hike off the beaten trail. I think my legs still hurt from hiking the line! I was a bit nervous because it was straight up on one side of us and straight down on the other. Joe just might be a little more adventurous than I am, especially with kids in tote.

Okay, maybe I was a little adventurous. I did strap into the voluntary "wedgy"! I even did a few back flips! The kids were cheering me on, until they saw the other three teenagers showing me up! Then the three teenagers kept asking for more time! I thought I was going to have a coronary!

I rode the mechanical bull! Whew! That was a funny one. When I went to jump on it for the first time, I flew over the top to the other side. Everyone in line was laughing. Then when I finally got back on, my pants would pull down when the bull went up and I nearly mooned the entire snowbird community! It was a comedy of errors!

Hanna loved climbing the wall! She's a natural spiderwoman!

Gracie and Morgan venturing the wall together! It was too cute!

They wouldn't let Gracie ride the bull, but she was satisfied with sitting on it! She's my little daredevil!

On the Tram after our bazillion mile "leisure" hike! Joe, I'm not hiking with you anymore!

Morgan on the bull! He showed me how it's really done!

The Alpine Slide! We raced several times, I never won. Gracie kept on insisting she "ride alone". It was our last a final ride when we realized she needed to be 7 to ride alone! Oops, sorry, she loved it!

The Fabrizio family at the top of the world! So beautiful! Gracie was so funny. On the lift up to the alpine slide she asked if she could go on the Zip Line. I told her she was too little. She needed to weigh 75lbs to go on it, so she needed to be bigger. She then proceeded to point and ask if random individuals were "fat" enough to ride the Zip Line!

Morgan on the trampoline! He did a back flip! It wasn't easy, but he did it!

Funny story about Morgan: Driving in the car and stopped at a light. Morgan spots a jogger jogging in place and asks, "Mom, why is he doing that?" I told him because he was jogging and didn't want to stop while he waited for the light to change. He thought a minute and said, "Mom, why are joggers skinny?" and I replied, "Because they jog." Quietly he thought again, then said, "Mom, then why aren't you skinny?" Only through the mouths of babes, eh?

Gracie and Hanna harnessing in for the marathon jump (at least it was for me)!

Me , My Mom, Gracie, Hanna and Autumn at the Oquirrih Temple Open House! It was wonderful! What a perfect girls day out! This has been a great summer! I am blessed with much, especially loved ones!

2009-07-27T08:21:00.000-07:00

The fourth of July at Centerville Park with the cousins! It was wonderful! The kids walked in the Children's Parade, then we listened to the music in the park and watched fireworks! Okay, I left early and walked Gracie home in the wagon! We laid in her bed and watched both Centerville and NSL fireworks! Fun! Morgan in his element! He was so excited this year to get together with the Fabrizio's and light fireworks! He looks up to his older cousins! He loves having Mike, Jack, Henry and Charlie around! Morgan and Charlie put on quite a show!

Grandpa Olsen announcing at the Parade! Hanna loved being up there with him! She was quite the little helper!

Gracie, Phillip and Anthony at the parade! Gracie and Phillip loved getting candy. In fact, they ran in front of the old cars to get a few! That's when Gracie got to sit by Mom!

Morgan, Hanna and Gracie in the Children's parade! They are the best kids!

We went boating up at Pineview! The first time out Morgan took Josh Pinnock! They were so funny and had a ball! Morgan knee boarding below.

The funniest ever! The kids would climb on the tube face front and Joe would take them for a wild ride! We were laughing so hard! Hanna and Morgan barely hung on!

He was a bit more mild for Gracie and Hanna, but we soon found out that Gracie is the biggest daredevil of all. No fear for this girl!

Hanna took her friend Shayla Hansen the next week. They had a ball! Fun memories!

So much to write about! We've been busy this summer! We've spent time up at the cabin fourwheeling. Hanna and Gracie are both getting better at it and loving it. Morgan has taken Joe's 4x4 fourwheeler over and is obsessed with dirt bikes or anything else with a motor!

This was too cute. Hanna and Autumn used left over decorations from Autumn's Aunt's wedding and made a pretend wedding for Gracie and Autumn's cousin Gracyn. He was in love! He kept hugging and kissing her. Gracie participated, but not completely willing. They threw lei's for flowers, had music and Autumn preformed the ceremony. They even danced to "their song". Later that night Gracie, Morgan and Hanna started throwing up, sorry Gracyn!

Morgan's team the D-back's ended up taking 3rd place! They were a great team and group of kids! Thanks Coach Gibbs!

2009-06-22T07:16:00.000-07:00

Well, I'm finally giving into the pressure of updating my blog! It has been a while! I started and completed an entire semester of school (15 credit hours) and got my second 4.0! Yeah Why couldn't I be this good earlier on? I have the summer off, so I haven't been as busy, but I have slacked in the blogging.

This spring we spent a lot of time snowmobiling! It has been a blast. Morgan sold his PSP and put the money towards his Dad's old sled to be his own and Joe bought a new one. We went up to our cabin and anywhere else. Hanna accidentally drove over and broke one of the helmets. Gracie's just in it for the ride.
Hanna had a Birthday in Feb. She turned 9! She is such a great kid! We had a High School Musical PJ party! The kids had a ball. Hanna loves anything High School Musical, Webkinz, Jonas Bro's and pre teen anything else!

We took Gracie to Kmart on a date! She's found she likes the toys in the front almost as well as Lagoon!! She is such a funny and fun kid! Life is good, we're keeping busy. Morgan in baseball, Hanna in soccer and all of them in swimming lessons! Joe just rebid his shift and is working doubles again!! yipee (two days of 16 hour days and one regular 8)! He loves this because it gives him 4 days off a week. We can't complain! We are blessed with much! Until next time!

2009-04-25T05:52:00.000-07:00

I haven't been so good at keeping up this spring. I guess 15 credit hours does that to you. But now I'm done for the semester and loving it! Life has been pretty routine since I last wrote. I have a few fun pictures to share. Morgan started baseball and plays catcher. He's a little "stud", or so he thinks. Its fun to watch them dive into things they love. Hanna just started the spring season of soccer. She is really quite good and loves it as well. She's also miss social. Gracie, well, isn't quite involved in sports yet, but she is 3 going on 16. She is taking off all the time (without my knowledge) and running to kids houses in the neighborhood. Some are her age, but the majority are older and so kind to let her "hang" with them. She is a so funny. She has quite the sense of humor.

We took the family to Hawaii the Middle of May! It was a wonderful trip. We spent more time on the beach than ever. Gracie finally loved the sand! Almost four, it's about time! We body surfed and leisured the majority of our trip. We did go to the Dole plantation! We ate the best pinapple whipped sundae in a Pinapple shell! It was awesome! We ended up in a two bedroom suite! We felt spoiled! It may be difficult to go back to the traditional room! The weather was perfect, the food was great and the company wonderful! It's funny, that no matter where you go with kids, as long as there is a pool they don't care where you are!

2009-01-02T20:10:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year as we roll into 2009. Life has been busy crazy over the holidays. Neil & Carma celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary with a small intimate dinner with family at our house. Kayla and James (Niece & Honey) announced their engagement. It was a great addition to the evening.
We went to Phil & Mer's for Christmas Eve and Neil & Carma's for Christmas Day.
We went a saw Santa at the Mall to the dismay of Gracie. She was asked several times what she wanted Santa to bring. Her standard reply was, "no want Santa to come, Mommy give me presents." After much convincing she finally conceded to see Santa. I think she actually suctioned her hands and feet to me. After peeling her off and setting her on Santa's lap, I told her to tell him what she wanted. She whispered in my ear, "A kitchen and a pink dolly." I told her to tell Santa, and with obvious fear and nervousness she blurted out, "I want a chicken and a folly." She then leaped off his lap and into the arms of her Daddy. We were all in hysterics.
We've had the opportunity to spend a lot of time at the cabin over the holidays. We took the snowmobiles up and spent a day with Phil & Mer and a day with Aaron and Penny. Morgan and Hanna had more fun running around the cabin on the snowmobiles than anyone. They got stuck a lot and a few times on purpose just to make Joe laugh.
We went to a fun New Years Party at Pete & Cathy's house. There was cheese fondue (my personal favorite), wii games, karoke, and toddler entertainment. We had a great time at the party house bringing in the new year. 2008 has been a great year and I look forward to 2009. Until I write again, ciao.

2009-01-02T19:50:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year as we move into 2009. I can't believe the Holidays are over. I wish they could last all through the winter season. Christmas was wonderful! Neil & Carma had their 60th Wedding Anniversary! Wow, I am so impressed. We've done so much in this short month. A party at our house for their 60th Wedding, Christmas Eve at my parents house and Christmas Day at Joe's. We saw Santa at the mall. Gracie wasn't too excited about Santa this year. We all kept asking what she wanted Santa to bring her and her constant reply was, "no want Santa to come, Mommy give me presents." After much effort in convincing her otherwise we made it to see Santa. I think she actually suctioned her hands and feet to me. I could barely pry her away to sit on his lap. I told her to tell Santa what she wanted and she whispered into my ear, "A kitchen and a pink dolly." I encouraged her to turn to Santa and tell him. In all her fear and nervousness she blurted out, " I want chicken and a folly." She then jumped off his lap and bee lined it to Joe. We were all in hysterics.
We've spent a lot of time up at the cabin these past few weeks. I've had 2 1/2 weeks off and Joe had some extra vacation that needed using up. We took the snowmobiles up. Morgan and Hanna glued their behinds to the sleds. They are a little too much like their Daddy. It was so much fun. Phil & Mer came up for a day and spent time snowmobiling. Phil was about like Hanna & Morgan. He wasn't excited at first, but then didn't want to stop. Then today Aaron & Penny came up. We just played around the cabin.
This holiday season has been filled with a lot of family time which I love. We went to a New Years Party at Pete & Cathy's house. There was FONDUE (my personal favorite), wii games and Kareoke. The toddlers were having fun jumping over or on Grandpa. All has been well, and school starts again for myself and the kiddos on Monday:(! Til the next time, ciao!

2008-11-23T05:41:00.000-08:00

Well, life has been the same for the most part since I last updated you all. There was, of course, Halloween and school continues on. I can hardly wait until December 2nd! Then I have a full month off! School hasn't been horrible, I'm just looking forward to finishing. We took the kids to Boo at the Zoo and to the Dunes! If it weren't for Joe's motivation I don't know if we'd make it to many places! We also took the kids to San Diego last weekend to use our season passes we've only used once! It was a whirlwind trip. We didn't plan the best because the U of U was playing San Diego State and the flights were a bit full, so we ended up flying into LAX and renting a car to drive 1 1/2 hours to SD! We took the kids straight to Sea World and I went back to the hotel to check in. Met them back at Sea World and had a pretty good time. Morgan, Hanna and I went on the Roller Coaster (forgot the name) so many times, we were soaked by the end. It was a perfect day to go. Absolutely no lines or congestion. We went back to the pool, where the kids had a ball. Got up the next morning, swam of course, took the car back to SD drop-off and flew home! Joe and I are still recovering! I'm too old for such turn arounds. Well, this week is T-giving and, yes, I've already trimmed the tree and decorated the house for Christmas. Morgan and Hanna brought up all the decorations last Sunday and Gma & Gpa were gracious enough to help decorate the tree (I'm pretty bad with that part). Joe has us cocooned with all the blinds shut. He hates when we do this, but I think deep down he really loves it. I do love the holiday season. We went to my parents last night for the "Big Game (U vs BYU)! One tip I suggest: Never put BYU die hard fans in a room with U fans! The tension is too much to bear and if you are not completely vested you are pulled in half! After the delightful/horrible game we drove past Pete/Cathy's house to view the Christmas light event! The music and lights certainly added to the festive season! I'm so glad they put the energy into making my kids Christmas memories so I don't have to . It's quite the show and if you have time you need to take your kids by and see it! We also gathered things together for the Sub for Santa we're doing this Christmas! I am so excited about this I can hardly sleep! We have been assigned a refugee family with 7 children from Africa! Both my family and Joe's family are involved. I didn't realize this could be so much fun! I think if I put as much time into school as I do with this I may find it fun as well? nah Well life is good and I am blessed with a wonderful supportive and healthy family. I must be going, but will hopefully update soon! Ciao

2008-10-17T01:44:00.000-07:00

Well, It's once again time for my monthly blogging. This past month has been kinda crazy. We did do a couple of fun things this past month. We went to the state fair. The kids look forward to this every year, I wish I could say the same. I love the Davis County fair cuz it's small and quaint. The SL County fair is getting so big, but the fam loves it still the same. Morgan & Hanna took Gracie on the big giant slide for the first time this year. Gracie was so funny. Her expression clearly was fear, but she tried to be big for sissy and bro. She is such a hoot. We also went to the Corn Belly Maze at Thanksgiving point. It was a lot of fun. We went in the maze and had to finally take the "emergency exit". Joe and my natural ability to discern direction once again fell short. We were laughing so hard. The big hit there as well was all the slides. Gracie was in pig heaven!! My Dad just had his surgery this week as well. He finally had the gallbladder out and is doing very well. He's just happy to be home. Morgan is playing football once again. He's quite a good little player and is obsessed with it. He plays, watches it on TV, goes to all the local games and is an avid Cowboys fan. It is quite a consuming sport. 3x per week practices for 2 hours and every saturday 1hr practice before the game. I love to watch football as well. Hanna deciding to give dancing up this year for soccer. She is quite the athlete as well. Their team was undefeated and she made several goals, even one for the other team! ugh. She has decided to continue on in sports and maybe next year gymnastics. She's a great kid and I'm happy she's found her passion. Gracie is my little buddy. When my Dad had surgery she wanted to go on the train so she and I took Frontrunner and trax to IMC. She loved it. She made friends with everyone, even the conductor. She is in a playgroup with her little buddy Andrea. She loves being social and hanging out with Hanna and her friends. Her favorite though is to go shopping. She loves going to the orange store with Daddy or the little cart store with Mommy. Joe has had a rough fall compared to those in the past. He loves hunting and fishing and has had to sacrifice his trips for Grandpa's hospitalizations and my school. Hopefully next year he can resume the outdoor activities. We are going to the Sand Dunes today for our UEA getaway. We planned on going to San Diego, but all the flights were overbooked. Oh well. Morgan and Hanna have been wanting to go to the Dunes. Gracie however hates sand so we'll see how she does. Life is good and I am blessed. Until next month, ciao!

2008-08-30T03:44:00.000-07:00

Life has been crazy these past few weeks. My Dad has been hospitalized for septic shock! He nearly died, but even the doctors said, "It just wasn't his time!" They said they'd never seen anyone so septic and survive. He is a miracle and we are so thankful he is still around.
Morgan, Hanna and I all started school this past Monday (Aug 25th). It just happened to be Gracie's birthday! We had a wonderfully fun Luau Party for her the friday before. We had a tiki pinata, tiki slush, Hawaiian Haystacks and beautifully decorated Hula Girl Cake (compliments of Cathy). The kids played the limbo, in the pools and water games. They all had a blast. It was great but I have been doing homework ever since! What was I thinking? I keep telling myself, only 2 more semesters! Morgan has Mrs. Martin for fourth grade this year. She is the sister of President Monson and an excellent teacher. Hanna has Mrs. Francom who adores her. I think it will be a good year. On the first day of school Gracie and I walked Morgan and Hanna to their classes. Hanna and Autumn had one desk between them and Gracie naturally tried to occupy it. When I tugged and finally released her grip from the desk, she was in tears! Sad thing is she won't be starting Kindergarten for 3 more years, ouch!
We took the kids to Kennecott Copper Mine (Joe's idea) for one last hurrah before school started. It was interesting, but not like Lagoon or The Alpine slide, sorry Joe. Well, it's definitley early and almost time for me to go into work. Life is on the up and we are all finally doing well. Until the next sleepless night, ciao!

2008-07-19T00:08:00.000-07:00

Well, its been a while once again, but I'm at least making here on occasion! Well, summer has started and going crazy! Hanna had her final recital and Danced to Hannah Montana! She loved it, but her favorite part is getting flowers from her Daddy! We had a great 4th! The kids were in the kids parade. They decorated their bikes and wagons! Morgan feels he's getting a bit old, but Hanna and Gracie sure enjoyed it! Morgan was also in the Centerville parade in the Viking Football Float! He was a bit cocky and was thrilled to throw us all some candy! We went up to Penny's for a BBQ that night and did fireworks! Sorry Connie, no funner works! ha ha This last Wed we went hiking with Carri and Peter Ward up at Cabin! It was a great day. The kids loved hiking and Gracie did pretty good for the most part, but after we finished almost 3 miles she said, "my leg hurts Mommy, my two legs hurt!" She was such a trooper. She even wore big girl pants all day and no accidents! We've been busy going to the Rec center swimming, going to the cabin and boating, four wheeling and just about anything the kids can think up we've been trying! Last week Phil and Mer had the Olsen reunion at the cabin. I had to work, but Joe took the kids and went boating and golfing. Morgan found his second favorite sport, driving the golf cart! The summer's been rather hot, but we've left the hot tub at lukewarm and have been enjoying that as well. I'm not ready for school to start! Not just because I'm enjoying hanging with my kids, but it means I have to go back as well, ugh! I'm sure itwill be just fine, but I get so anxious thinking about it! My family is doing well. Carma is planning the kids Christmas Party in July again this next Sunday. The kids love it in July! Its kinda nice to spread it out a bit! Life is good and I am very blessed. I have great kids who are healthy and sweet and a great husband. It may be a bit boring, but I like it just that way!

2008-06-14T00:32:00.001-07:00

Well, it's 1:30 in the morning and I can't sleep!! We just got home from San Diego last Saturday!! We went down with my entire family!! It was a blast. We went to Sea World for two days and to Coronado Beach. The rest of our stay was completely occupied at the Hotel Pool. Why is it that no matter where you go the kids want to be at the pool? Life is good. The kids are out of school for the summer. Morgan is taking a two week summer guitar class from Mr. Butler and JP Stewart!! He was excited, but has found the real guitar not as fun as guitar hero!! Hanna is still in Dance and has her recital in 1 1/2 weeks!! Gracie is my little shadow and buddy!! She loves to do whatever I'm doing or follow Hanna and her buddies around!! They are all playing with friends from dawn til dust!! It's getting quite exhausting!! I think we'll have to tame things down a bit as the summer progresses!! We don't have many more trips planned for the summer (other than Joe's usual to Alaska with the boys!!) Joe got the boat out of storage today and got her running good. Now the kids can't wait to go. Sounds great, but don't know if we can afford the gas!! yipes Neil (Joe's Dad) had a biopsy on Tuesday which we just found out today that it's not cancer!! yeah!! But on a sour note, my Mom's sister Norma just found out she has cancer and needs to start chemo and radiation!! What a bummer. Well, I'm now getting a bit tired!! It worked, so I'm off to bed!!
Good Night

2008-05-29T23:58:00.001-07:00

Well, we just returned from Cancun, Mexico (Joe and I). It was a wonderful time. It was nice to go on a vacation that you didn't need a vacation when you returned home. We sat under the cabana's and slept and ate. My kind of vacation. We will definitely return!! My parents and Joe's parents were kind enough to watch the kids while we were gone. Oh thank heaven for parents. I finished up this quarter with patho at Weber State and recently got a letter of acceptance to the BSN program in the fall!! What am I doing? Full time student, Mom and RN!! If I'm not crazy now I will be!! Well today the kids had their field day and tomorrow the last day of school! I was somehow roped into being in charge of field day's food. Not just helping at the food tables (as I thought it was when I accepted the assignment), but actually getting the donations from the local businesses, picking them up, setting up and cleaning up, plus working the booth for both morning and afternoon sessions. A little more than I had expected, but Morgan and Hanna were thrilled so I guess it was all worth it. I was so exhausted, but my mind was still racing from the day. That is why I am blogging at 1:15 in the morning. My parents bought all us kids a hot tub just "cuz"! and Aaron (Penny's hubby) installed it about a week ago. The kids, Joe and I have enjoyed it. We are leaving next Wed for San Diego with my family and it's also Morgan's 10th bday while were gone. We will be at Sea World on his Bday and he feels like that will be a great celebration! Life is good. I hope to blog a little sooner than I have. So until then, adios!!

Easter and family fun

2008-04-24T19:44:00.000-07:00

Well, It's been a while since I last "blogged" and been a bit crazy. I take one more exam tomorrow and a final next week and I'm done until next fall. My kids keep begging me to drop out of school, but I need to be an example (sometimes I wonder if they're right!!). Morgan just started Baseball and becoming a Phil Jr. He plays catcher on the A's and loves it. He's on a team with many of his friends (Mitch and Josh to name a couple). He has to go over to the ball park each night and scout the other teams so he knows "how to play them!!" Only 9 and already turning into his Grandpa Olsen. Hanna is miss socialite with friends everywhere. She is so funny. She is taking dance lessons at the REC center and doing remarkably well. She wants to play softball and soccer and take guitar lessons. She hasn't quite found her niche, but I don't doubt she'll do well at whatever. Gracie is an absolute hoot! She is talking all the time and picks up on much, almost too much. We were at Morgan's game and she wanted to play on the toy. I told her to watch the game. She said, "It's boring Mom". What 2 year old uses "boring". She also said the legos that wouldn't fit into her castle no matter how she tried were, "bugging me". She loves to say prayers or in her words, "Talk to Fader in Heaven". She thinks she's 8 like Hanna. Sometimes I even think she's 8. She follow Hanna around like a puppy. Lindsey, my niece, has been staying with us while Joe's parents are away on a cruise. She has been doing great other than she records her teen shows and erases my reality TV!! Joe started Lawns this week, what a week of business. He's doing well and loving his shop. I keep teasing him that if we put a bed and toilet in their we'd never see him. We are leaving, Just Joe and I, to Cancun in a couple of weeks. It will be a nice relaxation. Until Cancun, Adios Amigos!!

The Beginning of Fabrizio Follies

2008-03-24T18:06:00.000-07:00

Well today is the beginning of a new day. Paige Fabrizio has become a blogger. Wow!! Didn't think I was capable of this much technology, but with the help from my personal tech support (Cathy) I have begun!! I'm not much of a scrapbooker, so this will do fine!! Today is the day after Easter 2008. I need to back track a little. In Jan. 2008 we took the kids to Hawaii (present from Santa). We stopped in LA on our way and Connie took us to lunch at this fun restaurant with a vintage airplane museum. The kids loved it! Hawaii was a riot and once again Gracie feared the sand!! Not a gutty kid!! We stayed on Waikiki, went to a Luau where Gracie was the only one to get on stage and boogie a little hula!! It was hysterical. Morgan and Hanna loved the pool and the beach!! Great family vacation.
I am currently in school at Weber State University hoping to finally obtain my Bachelors Degree (I guess three associate degrees still doesn't add up to Bachelors'). My father in Law, Neil, just got out of surgery 30 minutes ago. They repaired an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Funny thing, it was Cathy's brother who did the surgery. All went well. Morgan, Hanna and Grace had a whole four days off for Easter. We went swimming, played with Phillip's chicks & Morgan went Snowboarding for the first time with his friend Mitchell. Hanna gave a talk on her Baptism on Easter Sunday. They are all growing up so fast. We spent Easter day with both Neil, Carma & Family and also Phil, Mer & family . We live close enough to both sets of parents we are able to do both families on Holidays!! Joe is still at Delta and for all you who are worried, he shouldn't be affected too much by the early retirement. Life is good and my family is well.
