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

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

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.
