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
