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!

Love the pictures! I have to see that little girls soon! She is so cute!! There is nothing better than have little ones at Christmas, although they are not really into it the first few years the parents get excited with the anticipation! I think Elias's first Christmas Cory and I ended up waking him up! lol

Your little family is growing up! How much fun! Also... I need to get a good triffle (sp?) recipe from you. I am hoping to make it for a holiday dinner celebration we will be having. Didn't you make it for Carson one time when you were dating?

She is so cute! Holidays definitely do have a fun, different twist with kids. I'm glad we get to see you guys as often as we do!
