Oh, what do you do before school?

-

Before school today I caught Asher jamming on his Paper Jams Guitar (a flat guitar that plays 4 different songs when you stroke it) with headphones on. So cute! If you need a present for a boy in the age 5-8 set, this one is awesome! And pretty cheap too!


I can't do a post in the summertime with one of these kinds of pictures. There's been a heat advisory almost every day since last Monday. It is supposed to end tomorrow night and be cooler! What is cooler, you ask? 105. Um, yeah. But, even 5 degrees makes a difference and we're excited! The pool is actually getting cool in the mornings (not bath water) and I got cold last night for the first time in a long time! Please, good weather, hurry up and come!

This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

ps. What do you think about Romney and Ryan? At first, I wasn't too sure. Now I like him. I'm trying not to get too excited about the Presidential Race because I don't want to be disappointed, but I can't help it! Go Romney Go!

I have 3 things to say:
Stay hydrated!
Stay hydrated!
Stay hydrated!
Also..if you are just drinking water to stay hydrated, you must have something salty and a bit sweet, too....otherwise you lose electrolytes in your sweat. Hang in there, Meg..September and October are just around the corner!

Holy Week

This week has been one of wonder and amazement for me. I usually celebrate the Holy week of Easter by remembering what took place each day of the week. This week has been extra special for me. I'm not sure why- maybe it's because we are studying Easter for Come Follow Me for Church or because I have two missionaries out serving who are sacrificing their time and talents to serving the Lord full time and I know what a sacrifice it is for them. They have taken Jesus's name upon their chest and represent Him full time. Or maybe it's because I have another son who is getting ready to serve just like they are- his mission papers just submitted this Tuesday evening. My life seems embedded and imbued with the thought of Jesus Christ and His Love and Sacrifice for me and for us all. It might be too, that my social media accounts- mostly Instagram- has been filled with post after post of Jesus Christ. How on Sunday He entered Jerusalem for the last time under waving palm fronds,...

Abbott Family Cruise, part 2

Catalina and Ensañada were amazing! Such perfect weather. At Catalina we went on a small hike up a small mountain to botanical garden. We didn’t go in- everything was so botanical around us already. We stopped for fish and chips on afterwards and then da along the beach with our toes in the sand. The beach is my happy place!  In Ensañada, I got roped into buying a brightly colored bag right away along with a few other trinkets. We wanted to get some pesos so we asked around and then stepped into a circle K and got some. I practiced my Spanish and the lady there asked me if I was Mexicana. So sweet! It made my day.  We had fish tacos, which was my goal, although we ended paying more for them than we wanted. Josh got some street churros and those were definitely on point! We walked around with our family and popped into a few shops to do some more souvenir shopping and then headed back to the ship. It was a neat day trip all around. We ended the day with a three course sit down ...

Jonah is home!!!

On a Saturday afternoon around noon, Jonah flew home from his two year mission to New York City. We were cutting it short and I felt like we were going to miss him off the plane. We waited about 5 min until Josh said “I think I see him!” I was shaky and hadn’t slept for most of the night and we had rushed to make it there in time. I wanted to run away really. Then, I saw a smiling, blonde kid running up to us and gave him a hug! It was so good and unreal to see him! Josh gave him a big hug and Jonah started crying. Everyone gave him a hug and it was so good to see him! He looked skinny and well. We took pictures and then headed home.  I love the picture of us hanging out on the couch, snacking and looking at his mission pictures. Later they went to Walmart for supplies and our car ignition shaft broke. Glad it didn’t happen at the airport and just look at that sunset that we might have missed if our van had started just fine. We are so glad to have Elder Abbott home! Now to get the...
