The Burninghams

My dad is in this picture but he doesn't live with us

Hello Ward Members!

We are Clark and Stefanie Burningham. We were sealed in the Los Angeles Temple and have been married for a little more than six years. We have two beautiful, energetic children, Audree and Ethan. We are new to Arizona and enjoying it so far. Clark works as a Field Inspector for mortgage companies and is in school full time. Stefanie just got a job at Kohls nearby on Signal Butte working nights (if you see me there please say hi!) and loves being at home during the day with the kids. Audree is five years old and in kindergarten and enjoys karate and piano lesssons. Ethan will be three in February and loves trucks, balls, and wrestling with his dad. We live in the Amador neighborhood on Tacoma, but dont know many people there yet. We have been called to the ward nursery so you probably wont ever see us at church even though we are there. We love this ward and look forward to meeting some new friends! Clark enjoys tennis and basketball, when he has time, so if anyone likes to play please call him.

We also both have small businesses if anyone is interested: Clark runs www.TiesandTacs.com and Stefanie sells Mary Kay Cosmetics at www.marykay.com/sburningham

Steve & Teralyn Cheney Family






We are the Cheney Family. (No relation to good ol'Dick) We have been in the ward since February and absolutely love it!
We met 6 years ago on ldssingles.com we dated for over a year & after the second proposal we were married & then sealed in the Salt Lake Temple.
We both enjoy football and sports. I am the reigning Fantasy Football Champion from 2007 for a group that we play with and it looks like I am going to take this year also. I remind my dear husband that when I win, he wins. :)
Steve is "the man of the house" and our girls adore him and shadow his every move. He is a wonderful husband and father.
Mazie which rhymes with "crazy" is just that. She is 3 and is such a girly princess except that her favorite movie is Spiderman and that she loves to wrestle with her little sister, Evie.
Evie loves to repeat everything you say and you may remember her for being the smallest yet fastest little 2 yr old to escape her parents grasp and run down the isles of the chapel almost every sunday. Yeah, we are working on that but aparently she is more stubborn than her mother. She likes to growel and flex her muscles and will bow to her father on command.
Despite our aparent attempts to try to make our beautiful little girls into tom-boys, they are sweet and tender hearted and we love them both very much! One particular stressful afternoon while in "time-out" Mazie reached over to hug her sad little sister and told her "it okay, lets sing I a child of God". Random moments like these warm your heart and remind you how prescious your children are.

The Watson Family

We arrived in the Ellsworth Ward in July of 2007. We are originally from Utah, but spent almost three years in Georgia before arriving in Arizona. We love Utah with all it's seasons, we love the South and have a big spot in our hearts for all the good people there. We are learning to love Arizona with all the heat! Yikes! We have four boys--Ben (14) plays the cello and is on the National Academic League at Smith Jr., Brayden (11) plays baseball and any other thing he can be involved in with the boys in the neighborhood, Treyce (8) loves pokemon and karate, and Sam (5) loves legos and just started kindergarten this year. Matt works for LDS Family Services (or that Jesus Christ Church as Treyce says). It keeps him on his toes. Amy is still trying to adjust to having eight hours a day all to herself--yea! We feel blessed to be in such a great ward!
