Technical difficulties

We got this from a neighbor, and for some reason I don't think Kambree gets it yet...

Also as promised...the dance video, actually 2 of them, please ignore my not-so-feminine snickers in the background.

Catch Up

Better late than never right??

Kambree's first pie, she loved it!

Carson's brother Laine went into the MTC on November 18, going to Argentina! We got to take him down there and spend a little bit of time with him at our place. Good times! We will miss him but he will be awesome!

They have a new way of doing the MTC now, it is pretty much just a drop off. We went down to take pictures a littel while before because they won't let you on campus unless you are in a car and have a pass. As soon as we get on campus we pull up curbside take out the luggage and a few pics and that is pretty much it. I have to say I like this way much better. It's kind of liking pulling a bandaid off, much better to do it fast than prolong the inevitable right? But really, it was cool because they had other missionaries hosting and showing the new elders where to go and there is still a neat and exciting spirit there!

Kambree has teeth! 5, to be exact. But there is 1 really big one that seems to put all the others to shame! haha, we love our buck tooth little girl!

Halloween...I know a little late, but like I said above, better late than never. Kambree dressed up as a bee as did the rest of the Beenfield cousins (my dad is really into honey and bees so we thought it would be awesome...and it was!) We took Kambree to 3 houses to trick or treat, and of course we had to help her eat her candy.

All the Beenfield cousins. I know they aren't looking, but this is the best I could get, it was hard enough just keeping them on the couch! haha (oh and if you are wondering why Kambree is a gray bee, black clothing dye is very decieving)

Kambree's first Christmas tree, and suprisingly, despite what you see here, she doesn't really go near it. I thought the shiny bulbs would draw her in, but I think she is scared of the branches. She is quite the jumpy little girl (she is scared of a cute, little, fluffy, white, stuffed reindeer and men, especially Uncle David...haha).

The past two holidays have been really fun...they say things are better once the kids come and I can now attest to that. Although we always had fun with just the two of us, adding Kambree to the mix has been even better! She is always making us laugh. She is a little dancer now. I tried to upload the videos but it wouldn't take. I will try again later so you can see her skills! Haha, no she pretty much just bounces up and down but it is funny to see, and she always gets the beat right on.

Life has been very crazy the last few weeks. I have started babysitting a few days a week for a little 3-month-old, plus my job and Kambree. Carson is working six 12's but will be done with that soon! Yay!! I think I might go crazy before he is through...seriously. I am excited for the Christmas break and this season, to sit back and contemplate life and the reasons I am here. I am truly grateful for my little family, my testimony, our jobs, and many other things... I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season and are able to stop and reflect!

Keeping us on our toes!

Last night, we went to a friend's house. It was about 9 o'clock and Kambree was getting tired, so I let her take a quick cat nap on my shoulder, BIG mistake! We brought her home and fed her, changed her, did the whole reading stories thing and tried to put her down. Now, usually she goes to bed very well, she just sticks her thumb in her mouth, grabs her blanket, and she is out in a matter of minutes. Not last night though! For the next hour and a half, we listened to her cry, gave her 3 bottles (small ones), read her some more stories, let her listen to music, and let her cry some more. Finally...she went to sleep!

But.... she did learn something new last night. Carson and I were lying in bed listening to her scream, when we hear her stop and some rustling around in the crib. The next thing we hear is her little snicker (which sounds like really fast breathing and snorting at the same time). I walked into her room to see what she was up to and this is what I found! Haha, she was so proud of herself!! It was pretty funny. We let her stand like that for a while hoping it would make her tired, but then she didn't know how to get down and was hanging on for dear life screaming at the top of her lungs. Haha, oh what am I going to do with this little girl!

I also mentioned she is crawling in the previous post, and boy is she getting quick. Literally, this morning, everytime I turned around she was after our TV cord, I am going to have to do something about this. Below, is a video of her crawling, especially for Nana Close!

Sunday Afternoon

This afternoon we went out to Snow Basin with Jason and Tiffany and took each others pictures. It was a lot of fun and we got some cute pictures and the drive was gorgeous! The colors are just about out of the leaves though and a lot of the leaves were already fallen, but it was nice to get out of the house and enjoy the last part of the good weather. It probably won't last much longer!

On another note, Kambree now has 3 teeth! Two on bottom and one on top, two of them just barely broke the surface. Also, she is now crawling! Her favorite things to go for are cords and cell phones (all the no-no's). So my life just got busier... haha. So life is going pretty good with us and we are excited for all of Kambree's first holidays coming up!!

NC update

I figured it's about time I updated about North Carolina since we've already been home for a month and a half. We took a trip up to Palmyra while there, with some of the highlights along the way being, Gettysburg, Kirtland, Hershey PA, and the best of all Hill Cumorah Pageant!!

We took Kambree to Falls Lake in NC and she loved the water as you can tell. The water there is like bathtub water, it is very warm. I love it, but come August it is almost gross how warm it is, haha. Carson hates cold water because of being acclamated to North Carolina and Brazil, so the first time my family took him to East Canyon and Lost Creek Reservoirs I think he was stunned because it was so cold! haha

This is my favorite scene in the Hill Cumorrah Pageant. It is the descension scene where Christ comes down from "heaven" (they have him hooked to a pully system- very cool!) and visits the America's. So cool!!

At the top of the Hill next to the monument

This was at Gettysburg next to the cemetary.

The Spirit at Gettysburg was very strong. I have never been there before and it was a last minute decision to stop there, but I am so glad we did!

Monument at Gettysburg

6 months!

I know I have been missing from the blogging world for a while, so I thought I better start back up, at least a little at a time. There is a lot to post about our vacation to North Carolina, but it will come slowly. Kambree turned 6 months old! It is crazy how fast time flies. I love being a mother...words cannot describe it. I love watching all the new steps and expressions. I have to get to work, but I just wanted to quickly put down her stats because I just got back from the dr. and wanted to write it somewhere.

Height 27 inches - 90th
Weight 15.5 - 50th
Head 42 - 10th

Sorry so short but there will be a better update soon.
