Hello where is everyone? I miss our talks on this blog thing!! I hope everyone is doing wonderful, and that sickness is staying away from you all. A little run down of our family, Marty is working long weeks in Logan, I will be glad to have him on a normal schedule again. Cherokee is doing great at school, she has been taking everybody's blood, she plays soccer, and is enjoying her Single Adult ward. Chevy is goo-gaga over his Mustang, now he just needs a job so he can buy some bling for it. He has been to the school dances and dating, he will be 18 in 18months, that is what he tells me!! Cash is doing much better in school, he is even sleeping a little better, his arm is still swollen and not sure if it is fractured or not. We got to go to Utah and see Chezney get blessed, that was awesome, we love our grandbabies!! Well I hope everyone is doing great and gearing up for the holidays. Love ya all, The Carrillo's

How are you doing Becky? Are prayers are with you and hope you are gaining some strength back in your legs!! Love ya!

A little memory for our kids that didn't know Grandpa Campbell, it has been 29 years today since he passed away. That was such a terrible day for all of us, something so unexpected and way to young. You grandkids if there is anything I wish you could have it would be for you to spend a hour with your Grandparents, they were awesome!! A little memory I have among the many is, I remember when Grandpa would go on scouting trips he would always bring us home all the leftover goodies. We didn't get alot of candy back then, so this was a real treat for us. We also had to pluck the feathers out of any geese that he would shoot, that was gross, their necks would be all bent wierd and their eyes would be glaring at you!! Yikes!! They had a awful smell to them, I hated that job!! We sure miss you Grandpa!

moving time again

THE HOWELLS FROM CRAZYVILLE

October

ok, so I guess I'll jump on and catch you up on the McCombs fam. We are grateful the past 2 months are over. Between being sick alot, work, RS, the yard, canning and our basement mess, it has been a trial. On the positive side, the coughing is slowing down, the basement is dry and the sheetrock is here, I get released from RS this week or next for sure, the canning is done except for my apples-the trees are loaded, want some? Work is hectic, I am still at Cox' but only a couple days a month. Al is well, just busy and as always being a pest, he's getting buff from work and dropped another pant size. We just cut down our aspen trees out front and I was sad, I'm pulling out flowerbeds etc. trying to minimize the work load.
We are getting excited to go out East in 23 days. We will spend 5 days with Osolu's and 5 with Tran's. We've never been there in the fall so it should be fun and we get to spend Halloween with grandkids and celebrate 4 birthdays and go to Hallie's baptism. I miss my munchkins.
Speaking of Halloween--greetings from the witch to all the brother in laws. Hope you are all doing well. I've been missing mom and dad-October does that to me. I keep thinking about growing up and the times we've shared. Take care and keep in touch.
Love ya, Vic

yes its me

JUST THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE A LITTLE UPDATE ON THE HOWELL FAMILY.. WE GOT MOVED AND SOMEWHAT SETTLED WE MAY BE MOVING AGAIN ITS A GOOD THING I HAVENT UNPACKED. WE HAVE REALIZED THERE ARE DISHONEST PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD AND IT HAS REALLY OPENED OUR EYES! NORM FINALLY FOUND A JOB AFTER 2 MONTHS OF BEING WITH NO WORK. I AM TRYING TO STAY AFLOAT. WE HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH EACH OF YOU.

WE COULD REALLY USE SOME PRAYERS RIGHT KNOW

Hi from Lehi

Wow, it's 11:00 pm and I have a few minutes to myself so I decided to post on our family blog. It has been awhile. Hope everyone is doing good and is happy and healthy. We are all doing good. Just enjoying life with all it's many things it has to offer both happy things and trials. Sam is finally getting back into the swing of things at work. He is excited to retire from the guard soon. He is back in school and only has a few more months and he will be through. He has been making some beautiful frames, enjoying his honey bees and taking good care of his wife. The Brumfield Family is busy with work and being parents. They are so cute with their little son and are very loving parents. Dennis is going to school and is majoring in criminal justice. We are trying to find a little house here in Lehi for them so it won't be so far to travel. Justin is loving the police academy. He has something new to tell us or show us like how to break a wrist and how quick he can handcuff you. He is working at Taipan Trading setting up displays and unloading things. He is dating a very pretty and very nice girl. Sydney is on a week break from school then will start up again next week. She is enjoying it and doing very well. She should be a Vet. Tech in about 18 months. She is so much fun to have at home. We have been making baby blankets and quilts. She is still dating Travis. Spencer is working hard and playing soccer when he is not working. He keeps us laughing. We are hoping he finds out what he wants to be when he grows up so he can get into school. I am just loving having my family close together again. It was a long not so fun year but now we back together and enjoying each other. I am having a great time watching little Dennis. He is such a blessing to his parents, grandparents, uncles and aunt. I am getting some quilts made which has been fun doing with Sydney. Well that's how we Howlett's are doing. Love to all of you. Be happy!

New baby!!! Chezney Avery Zippay was born yesterday evening, coming in at 8lbs. 12oz. and 20in. long!! Lots of dark hair and looks like the Campbell side, ya-hoo!! Mom and baby are doing okay, Tessie is running a slight fever and the baby is being watched because she swallowed some fluid, but other then that they are tired but HAPPY!! Thanks for all the phone calls, we appreciate your love and support! The Carrillo's

Funny Story

I was at a birthday party for Jeff's brother's little boy and I walked past an older lady and she grabbed my arm and said are you Wendell Campbell's daughter, I looked at her and said what and she said you must be Wendell Campbell's daughter, I said no he is my Grandpa though. She said you look just like one of his daughter's. It turns out it was June Davids(I think that is her first name), she lived by you guys growing up, she is my sister in laws Grandma, so I guess when people say I look like you guys or like my Mom its true because a comple stranger saw me and just knew I was Wendells Daughter! Fun Story, I hope all is well for everyone love you!

Happy Fall!!!! I am so excited we have tomatoes!!! Yummy, juicy, red delicious tomatoes, not just one or two but loads!!! Hope everyone is doing super, if you come to our house we will make you a fabulous BLT, love ya all! The Carrillo's

Heritage

Hi family,
I was just thinking about our heritage and the ancestors who made our lives possible. I am so proud of my family, my parents, and the extended families, their sacrifices, examples ans great love. I miss our grandparents, my mom and dad and those who have passed on. Thanks to all of you for being part of my life. Happy 24th. God bless you all. Love, Vic

Having a blast with family..I will miss them so much when things are quiet here. I could use some sleep, I feel like I've been to girls camp for a week.

CONGRATS!!!

Just want to say Congrats to Heather and Dennis who tied the knot today, may you have the happiest days ahead!! Love you both! The Carrillo Family

Happy Thursday!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thursday! Today is my day off and my plans for the day include hanging with my two best girlfriends and their adorable kiddos and then going to the Summerfest this evening with my hot hubby!! I LOVE it when the Summerfest comes to town and you can usually find us there at some point during all three days - does that make us nerdy? If so, oh well, we'll embrace it happily! Anyway, just wanted to say that we love you and that we hope that this summer brings happy times for all of us!

Love,
Clar

July 2nd

Second of all I forgot to wish Cherokee a Happy late Birthday-we love you bug a lug and are so proud of your determination to make your dreams come true in this life, keep up the good work and remember your Heavenly Father and Family love you!!
Third of all Happy Birthday to our little Kenners, we are so grateful to have you in our Family, you have such a beautiful smile, it takes Grandma's cares all away, we love you so much!
Fourth of all, Happy Birthday to our little miracle boy, you are our sunshine and you make our days worth it all, we love you so much Cash and are grateful that you got to be part of our Family!!
Last of all to my Parents, I love and miss you so much, but thank-you for the rainbows that you send us and the Gospel you have instilled into our family unit. I love you Mom and Dad and I am looking forward to a day soon when I can bask in a hug from you both!
Love you all and hope you all have a safe and fun Memorial day!!

Memorial Day

I'm sitting in my front room looking at the fresh snow that we got down really low on the mountains this morning. In the aspen trees are several small yellow birds-just hanging out and I'm in a very mellow, reflective mood. Unusual for me since I'm always running around. I want it to go on record that I love and admire those men and women who have served, are serving and will serve our country. For those who laid down their lives for our freedoms. I am selfish, I take forgranted each day what others do for us. I admit I complain about the state of the country-when I need to be voicing my opinions, doubts and fears and stand up for what I believe freedom means and should be. Thanks to those in our family who have given for us the things that make our lives better. Thanks to the men in our family who work hard to provide a living and honor the priesthood they hold and are examples to us and our families...I love my 6 brother in laws and all my nephews. I am feeling a loss this morning for Cory-I know we all think of him.
I want to tell my sisters and Kim thanks for being my siblings through good and bad times, family matters most. I adore my nieces and nephews and love to see their facebook thoughts and pictures. I think grandma and grandpa look down and smile often at all of us, our families and their great grandkids. How I wish they were still with us to hug, laugh with and talk to. My heart yearns to have one of dads bear hugs and some of his fresh fish and have a heartfelt talk with mom. I am so blessed to be where I am in my family to have known so well beloved grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
I also want to say thanks for choosing me as their mom to my daughters and son, I love you with all my being. I love the four son in laws who take such good care of my daughters. I adore
the ten precious grandkids who grace my life and for being able to skype them and see and hear them. I am also extremely grateful for the kind, patient, forgiving man who stands by me through life's joys and trials. Thanks Al.
Sorry this is so long, I just had an overwhelming sense of emotion and peace this morning. I want to let you all know I love my Savior, my Father in Heaven and my eternal family-all of you.
Have a great day and pause a moment to say thanks for those who have gone on. Vic

May in PA

I always wait for something intersesting or exciting to happen to post...my life must be pretty mundane. So I guess my averageness will have to be enough for you guys! Life is busy busy here in Wescosville, PA. We took a 5 day weekend to finish up some projects and are smack in the middle of them. We've planted 4 shrubs, 1 pear tree and multiple flowers, weeded the garden, cleaned and organized the basement and had a BBQ/fire with some friends and neighbors and we still have half the weekend left! The weather has been 85 everyday with a thunderstorm here and there. We had an awesome gluten free chocolate chocolate cake yesterday and some amazing corn on the cob on the grill.

The kiddos are loving the summer weather and have been playing in the hose and swimming at the neighbors. Everyone is growing like a weed! Leiah lost her first tooth a few weeks ago...where does time go??

Off to a walk at the park to try out my new running shoes...sorry nothing to exciting, just life as we know it!

Love you all, Amanda and crew

Justin's Coming Home

Hi Everyone! Hope you are all doing great! Hey just wanted to let you know that Justin should be home on the 20th. Everyone who wants to go to the airport is invited to welcome him home. I won't know the time for a few more days but will let you all know when I find out. Can't wait to see him! Heather will have her baby in four more days on the 14th. We are so excited to get that little guy here. Sydney is enjoying her job at Target and is such a sweetie. She is doing so good. Spencer is working hard at work and at the gym. Sam is getting so trunkie as the missionaries say. He is so ready to come home. He should be home the second or third week of June. YEAH!!!! I am just keeping myself busy and counting down the days when we will all be together again. Love to you all, Shawna BE HAPPY!

Home again

Wow, why does time have to fly so fast? I had a blast in Belgium. We saw so many things, ate great, walked and walked, took pics and enjoyed the family tons. I have been so homesick for my family this last few months. It's been great to see Amanda and the girls, Jen and the Tran Clan. I really enjoyed the Eiffel Tower, Disneyland, Paris, the cobblestone streets, the chocolate factories-we truly don't have real chocolate here. I loved the history, the beautiful old buildings and cathedrals, the waffles, the kabobs, shopping, color, the flowers. We saw Waterloo, I rode a scooter on the canal of Mons, it was fun. My grandkids shocked me, they have grown so much. It was a fantastic break, I did miss Al though and we had some not great experiences with pick pockets.
Can't wait for sisters weekend. Love you all, Vic

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet daughter, Contessa!!! She turns 21 tomorrow, she is now legal to do all the wild things, but I know she has left that in past, so the only wild thing she will be doing is chasing around a 9month old!! I am so proud of Contessa and what a good mommy she is, it is fun to watch her grow and learn homemaking skills. I am proud that she has taken after her mother and loves a clean house and a decorated one!! We love you so much and hope you have a beautiful day, wish we could be there. Love ya tons, Mom and Dad A memory-When Contessa was a little girl, around three months I was asked if she could be a baby model for Z.C.M.I. a huge department store like Macey's, I would of loved to have her do it, but I didn't have transportation back then. She was and is a beautiful daughter of God.

Thanks Becky and Paul for stopping in to visit Cash and me, I was needing a uplift that day, I have been feeling a little overwhelmed with life and all the decisions it gives us, so thanks for the visit. We had a blast on our vacation, it was fun to watch Lorin, he was like a little kid at Christmas time, Kenners did awesome, she loved to just watch everything. We loved just hang'in together, talking and making lots of memories. We stopped in Mona to see the Bandley family, but somebody was out shopping, we saw your cute little house though and it is way cute! We were very sad to hear about Troy, we just saw him in August, life is so wierd that way, I just want you all to know how much we love you and we think of you all often, I would give anything to just have a family party with everyone there, wouldn't that be awesome!! We love you all even though we can't see you, hang in there and be happy!! The Carrillo's

Just a little love note

Hi nieces and nephews, I was just thinking about family and how fragile life is. My cousin died today-another heart attack and tragedy in the family. I want all of you to know how much I love my family including all the in-laws. You all hold special place in my heart...just wanted you to know.
Have a great week Love, Aunt Vic

Happy New Years

Hey Fam! I was updating my blog, so I thought I'd jump on and spend a little time making this one pretty, too! I hope you all had a fabulous New Years and as I understand it, the wedding was beautiful! We were bummed we couldn't make it, but Nate's grandpa turned 80 and his family flew in from all over the country, so we took advantage of the time we had together with them!

We hope that you are all doing well and we look forward to keeping in touch with you all throughout the year!

Love,
Clar
