More Cambra FUN!

I just wanted to document all the fun pictures I took while my family was here for new years. I mostly have decided that my blog is for me to print out. I am no good at print out pictures so I have a ton on my computer. This at least I know I will eventually print. So I just apologize for having a billion pictures all the time. 

Uncle Danny with Scarlett

Payton wanted everyone to read him a story before he went to bed. We all read a Dr. Seuss book. He loves to pretend like he knows how to read. Uncle Danny actually thought he was ready. (what a nerd)

Grandma and Grandpa reading with Payton.

Scarlett just relaxing with grandma Cambra

One night while my mom, Danny, and Jacie where still here we had decided to leave the kids with grandma and Josh and I went out with Danny and Jacie. We went to dinner then went bowling.  This is Danny thinking he is tough! hehe

Danny and Jacie. Cute!

GIANT picture of Josh and I.

What a cute little family! Oh wait! These two are not married and those are my kids! Danny and Jacie wanted a cute picture with Payton and Scarlett. It is very cute if you ask me.

Payton loved all the attention he got from everyone here. He had so many different people to play games with. He loves having someone to play with him.

Scarlett and Mom. Dang my eyes look tired!!!

 This was the last day of having family in town. I love being with family, but I really don't get a ton of sleep when we get together. Oh well, thats what the week after is for!

Christmas with the Cambra Family

While my family was here for New Years we got to exchange our christmas gifts. 

 Payt, Grammy, Scar and Uncle Jared.

 More gift opening

 Josh got some BYU shirts from my sister 

 He also got some Kings tickets from my parents.

 While my family was here we got to enjoy visiting with both my grandmas. It was a very nice visit. They came and had lunch at our house. We got to just sit and visit with them while Scar and Payt enjoying their great grandmas. Scar fell asleep so they both just got to sit and hold her. I am pretty sure they both really enjoyed that!

 This is my grandma Tannie (Cambra) This is my dads mom.

 This is my grandma Sam (Crane) This is my moms mom. She and Payton played Hungry Hippos. He loved all the attention.

 Jared and Daniel with their grandmas

Payton with his great grandma Crane. He really isn't very good at taking pictures some times. 

Payton and Scarlett playing the duck game. Payton gets mad because Scarlett doesn't play right and she eats the ducks.

Crab Hunt

It was so fun having my family here for New Years. We DEFINITELY missed Stef, Dawson, and Sofia!!!

 On new years eve we went to Half Moon Bay in search of some fresh crab. All growing up our family would try to get fresh crab at least once a year. My dad is the one who introduced my mom to it and they have just continued it on to us kids. Each of us have our own opinion of it of course. My dad is a die hard crab snob, he spends most the night at the table picking out his crab making a big pile and enjoying every bite. Then there is my husband Josh, he enjoys the crab but thinks its a lot of work to pick it all out. (if you know Josh though this isn't very surprising, he is kind of lazy) Me on the other hand really enjoy crab and will sit at the table for quite a while with my dad, but I just don't eat as much as him. Then you have my brothers, they will usually try some and not eat very much. My dad always makes some kind of pasta with the meal knowing my brothers will need something else to eat because there is no way they will fill up on the crab, salad, and bread. Josh usually eats the pasta also. I do have to say they are getting better at eating more of the crab and enjoying it now that they have come back from their missions. So over the years when my dad would go and buy the crab he would usually go kind of early and would drive to the ocean to buy it fresh. It just became a 'guy thing'. My mom, sister, and I never went, but this year we decided we would all go. It was fun. We had no clue that my dad went all they way down to the boats and found someone selling the crab from his boat. It was pretty neat and exciting. Payton thought it was fun, but was afraid of the crabs bitting him. 

Josh, Scarlett, Daniel, Jacie, Mom, Dad, Jared, and Payton All right at the boat where we bought the crab from the guy.

The Robertson family and their first official crab hunt. It was a success and I hope we can continue to make it a tradition in our home.

Jared thinking I am a 'freak' cause  I was pretending to eat the crab. Payton didn't like me doing this.

Our bag with 7 live crabs. Payton wouldn't get any closer than this.

My brother Daniel and his girlfriend Jacie

Walking back from the boat

Josh with the kids. So CUTE!

We got the crab a nice comfy spot for the car ride home. Unfortunately they didn't all last, but some did.

I just love this picture of Payton and Josh walking back to our car. Obviously, 'like father, like son'! They are so cute together. Payton just adores Josh and wants to be like his dad!
