Shooting Range

This last week while my family was here Josh took us shooting. I had never even held a gun before so this was all new to me. My dad, brother, sister, and my brother in law all had a good time shooting the guns. I have to admit I don't love shooting guns... they are quite scary to me actually, but it was a learning experience for me.  

All in all we enjoyed shooting and laughed at how bad my sister and I did. No one got seriously injured, BUT my dad did end up with a band-aid on his head.  

He went to shoot his first shot on the rifle and his head was too close to the scope and after he shot the gun it hit him in the head. He didn't think much of it until he was done and he turned around to my brother and my brother said, "what did you do, you have blood all over your head, stop trying to rub it away." So, we all had a good laugh because my dad looked pretty funny with the band-aid, but no stitches were required and he is just fine. He will just have a scare there forever now. None of us will ever forget this christmas event!

Christmas w/ the Cambra Family

We have had such a fun time with all Mals family here for christmas. We got so many fun gifts, ate TONS, played games, laughed a lot, and just got to enjoy each other. We got to talk with both Mals brothers whom are serving missions and that was fun. One is in Mexico and the other is in Ecuador. They are both doing great. Payton has loved having his grandparents, aunt and two uncles here in California this past week. He has learned a few more words like... more, hi, bye, and thank you. 

We got to spend Sunday evening with Mals grandma. Payton is her only great grandkid so far, so he is so spoiled. 

I am obsess with our SON

Sometimes I feel like all I do is take pictures of Payton and post news of the things that he does. I just feel like Payton is growing and changing all the time. He mimics Josh and I and He loves to say "HI" and BYE". Josh and I just love having him in our lives. The joy is overwhelming.  I am so excited for these next two weeks. Both Josh and I are going to be able to see our parents, all our siblings [Josh's 12, and Mal's 5] (minus our brothers on their missions, 3 in total), all our in-laws, and all our nieces and nephews. 

We feel so very blessed.
