Happiness

Our Spring Break was last week (Arizona does it super early!). We stayed home for half the week and then headed to California to stay with my Grandma and then my brother for a couple of days each. The trip went well and we enjoyed seeing everyone! We kicked off our great vacation with a visit from my cousin Heather and her cute family from Washington. So good to see her! The rest of this post is filled with pics of family, so feel free to skip this post if you want to! (btw, Josh had to stay home for a Conference he was in charge of so I drove the 6 hours there all by myself. Even though our DVD player broke after the first 2 hours into it, the kids did amazingly well (thanks to a good downloaded book) and the drive went smoothly both ways- blessings! There may be many more trips to California in our future!

During Spring Break my Parents came to visit and the days were spent visiting the Riparian Preserve, Going to Freestone Park, Riding the carousel (that's Ethan fake screaming). Putting together puzzles, Reading books with Grandma, Going to the Mesa Festival of Creativity, You could make an origami bird and hang it on the tree as part of a community art project. Asher made a really cute one. There were people dressed up all in a single color, walking around. Jonah said "Mom, this place is weird- that person is all pink!" It was fun! (I think this was a guy!) There was a lego exhibit where people could help build the huge, giant cactus! Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma! We love you! See you in June! ---not pictured was going out for custard (of course!), visiting Josh at ASU, lots of walks, playing with the doggie, wrestling with Grandpa and yummy food! This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

The kids are up and sad that they can't spend the whole morning watching H2O and have to come with me to the Wal-Marts to get our van's light fixed. --funny story on that- I went to Wal-Mart and asked them to fix my headlight. They said it was working fine but they could refurbish it for me. I said that would be fine. 45 minutes and $20 later, while I was checking out they said "Oh, your right running day light is out." Aaaahh!! That's what I needed to get fixed I told them. They told me to come back and they would fix it for free. I guess you have to use the right words "running day light" instead of "headlight" when you want something done. The same thing happens with my hair. I can't explain what I want, so now I just print off a picture and take it in and say "I want this". That usually gets the job done. Oh, and if you hadn't read my last blog post-...
