This past weekend we had the privilege of having family in town from Utah. Grandma and Grandpa Cambra, Jared, Ashley and Ada. We took time to go and visit both of my grandma's. My grandma Tani lives with my dad's cousin Ann. We had a nice visit with the both of them. Josh was working so he wasn't able to go with us. We did see Grandma Sam but once again I forgot to get pictures with her.
Scarlett playing with a paper cup Grandma Tani's. The 3 kids colored paper cups and paper bowls. For some reason they enjoyed that activity.
Great Grandma Tani with Scarlett!
Jared, Grandma Tani, Ada and Ashley. This was the first time Grandma Tani met both Ashley and Ada.
Grandma Tani, Me, Scarlett and Payton
Grandma Tani is my dad's mom. Here are my parents with her!
The group, minus Payton. He was being a stinker and wouldn't take a picture. I feel very blessed to have both of my grandma's still alive and doing well. They of course have their ups and downs, but over all they are in good health.
Payton and Ada in the car showing off their cups that they colored inside of.
During the many times we were in and out of the car Payton noticed their was a sun roof. He kept asking if he could look out the sun roof. I had decided to let him and Ada look out when we were on the street to our house. They both loved it and thought it was the best thing ever.
They both just waved and waved as my dad drove down the street! They were very cute!
It was raining off and on throughout the day and at one point it had started hailing. We told the kids they need to go outside and check it out. We told them it was raining rocks. They thought it was the best thing ever. Payton was little disappointed that they melted away quickly once it stopped.
Payton and Ada loved playing together! Those two never once fought, but they did cause some mischief when they played. At one point they were out playing in the garage. They were very happy out there, but after quite a while Payton starts coming in the house and looking for various things. He came in and got a flash light, and then some scissors. A bit later he came in with blue hands and headed to the bathroom to wash him hands. When I saw this I knew I needed to get up and go see what was going on. I looked out into the garage and these two had created what looked like a crime scene in the garage. There was blue chalk dust everywhere, a box of nails emptied on to the ground, tape stuck onto the car and onto the ground, the flash light laying on the ground on directed at a line of chalk, and many other random things that they had found and pulled out. I could not help but laugh and think what in the world. I then had to take some pictures, and got everyone else to come look and see what they had done.
I knew that they had a ton of fun. When asked how started this Ada showed us her hands and said "see I didn't do the chalk mess", I had to hold my laugh in. Payton of course had his hands covered in the chalk. I knew they had done it together, and really didn't care a whole ton. I couldn't get mad at them. They are kids and were just playing. We made them clean it all of though. They worked together and used the shop vacuum to pick it all up.
Working together to clean up their mess. There are many things in life that I feel can get my kids into a lot of trouble, but this event was not one of them. I am slowly learning to pick and choose my battles. They did a great job cleaning up and I know they had a blast playing.
We all piled into the car and headed to the Stockton Ports game. Josh, Me, Jared and Ashley framed into the middle row and the 3 kids squished into the back seat.
Payton wore this paper bowl on his head. It was one of the bowls that he and ada had colored during our visit with my grandma.
The ports game was a lot of fun. Mom, Jared, and Ashley
It was dry for the first little bit, then it began to rain. We had been prepared for the rain so we just sat it out. Eating our snacks before the rain came in.
Me with Ada and Payton! Josh with Scarlett. This was after the rain had stopped and the game started back up. We each got a bit wet, but had a good time anyways.
I took Payton and Ada for a walk around the stadium. They loved that. Most people had left and so it was very empty everywhere!
Ada and Payton with the Stockton Ports mascot! I believe his name is Splash!
Messing around and try to keep themselves entertained during the game!
"Ada Burger" Its so fun to have her in out family. She is the sweetest little girl and she fits in perfectly!
A family picture! The pink and blue that you see on the side of Payton is Scarlett hugging Payton.
Payton had gotten this baseball from a guy and he was very excited about that. These 3 had a ton of fun together. I look forward to when we get together with my whole family because I know then Scarlett and Sofia will play and then Payton and Ada will play. These kids are very lucky to have cousins SO close in age!
