The Phillips


We are the Phillips Family: Brad, Claire, Sadie, Drew, and Brinlee. We moved into Muirfield Village and into the Ellsworth ward about a year and a half ago. We came from the extreme cold of Northern Utah to the extreme heat of Arizona but we have adjusted well . Brad works for Boeing in their money department(I think he calls it finance). Claire is a taxi driver- personal chef- entertainer- and cleaning woman- also known as the stay-at-home mom. Sadie is four going on 16 and can't wait til she can attend school more than three days a week. Drew is a wild and crazy 2 year old who can be seen sporting a new bruise on a daily basis. Brinlee joined our family four months ago and her hobbies include: eating, sleeping, and smiling. We are happy to be a part of this ward and can't wait to get to know more of you.

We Are Young


Hello. We are Chase and Jenny Young. Just a month ago we welcomed our first baby, Royal. As we've changed his diapers, he of course has changed our world. We've been very grateful for all he teaches us daily.

Chase and I 'got lost' on a hike in our single's ward. He was yappin' so we missed the turn off allowing us to hike an extra two miles and send half the ward looking for us. For the next six months Chase simmered on the back burner popping up just enough to remind me what a great time we had talking on the hike. After a series of fortunate events we started dating and were married six months later.

I've just retired from teaching English as a Second Language to high schoolers because my new job is being a mom. Chase loves woodworking. He builds cabinets and furniture. He also has a teaching degree in Industrial Technology.

We love being outside, hiking, traveling, reading and creating things. We're thankful to be a part of the Ellsworth ward.
