Well its been awhile just thought i would chime in , Halloween was awesome it was great day and lots of kids came all the candy was gone some were too scared to go by the witch i had to keep telling them it was fake, we had a great dinner with tammy and her family and mom and randy, john and kathy. we can't wait till next year. Kelly had her 15 week appt, on monday and all is doing good, next appt is dec 28th and we will be able to see what sex the baby is , i just keep saying it's a girl so if the baby happens to be a boy you will have one smiling DADDY on your hands and one spoiled little baby boy.(WE DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO FIND OUT THOUGH WHAT DO YOU THINK?) All is well here, we have put up some of our Christmas lights just the ones on the house which is about 1400 lights after Thanksgiving we will finish the rest. We decided to paint one of the rooms and move kinley and jaden in there and mattiejo will have her own room, we will be getting new carpet in in a few weeks after that we want to paint out room and install laminate flooring. LOVE THE CARRILLO'S 5

OUR NEW FAMILY MEMBER

2009-09-14T07:13:00.000-07:00

We decided to get another dog we found SIS on ksl for 100 bucks and fell in love with her i was surprised she was not already gone especially when great dane cost so much. Kelly use to have a great dane before i met her and since then she has always wanted another one, so this is kinda a early birthday present to her. SIS is 1 1/2 years old, she gets along great with mater and the cats she is very calm and goofy, and she's not much work. Her coat is called Merle it is grey, white, and black Kinley calls her spot or sparkles , and says she my best friend. I know were crazy but you only live once you might as well enjoy it. We love all animals some days i wish we had lots of land to have all sorts of animals and of course old trucks and cars.

HALLOWEEN

2009-08-12T08:24:00.000-07:00

Any suggestions for our family for Halloween costumes i know its still far away but we will set up around the second week of September so it will be here before we know it we can't wait

MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT

2009-08-11T07:14:00.001-07:00

We are going camping on the 16th and coming home Tuesday the 18th we can't wait we will be going to mirror lake i hope its not to cold at night we are borrowing kelly's sister tent trailer we will get to fish and just relax i am glad kelly finally gave in and told them to stick it for three days off they been saying they will get some one trained to the bakery so she can have days off they been telling her this since April they hired a new girl yesterday so kelly has to train her i guess they will just have to get by with the rookie when she is gone. Mom and randy are going to come up and visit us it will be fun this is the first time going camping this year i kinda wish we didn't sell our trailer O WELL it payed off a credit card it is nice not to have credit card bills come in the mail all the time. this will be agreat birthday present for me . Mattiejo starts kindergarten on the 27th man time flys i cant belive she is 5 already, Kinley goes back to preschool with miss Jen she is so excited but i don't think she realises that Mattiejo will not be going to preschool like last year. Jaden is fun she is talking and saying all sorts of stuff she is my little toe head she loves trying to help me work around the house and always says "no i do it" or i ask her what are you doing? "nothing " she always wants to ride in the blazer and when we go she wants to drive i let her steer i think she will be into old cars just like me she is always getting my tools and trying to fix things or if i am working on the blazer or car she is right there with me. Our garden is doing okay i picked and roasted about 2 dozen Anaheim peppers we made homemade Chile rellano's yummy, i froze the rest we also have bell peppers and jalapeno too our tomato's are not doing very good there small and only had a few red ones. the corn is coming along but slowly, and we have 6 jack o lantern pumpkins and corn stocks just in time for HALLOWEEN "evil laugh", Anyways life is great here at our little Carrillo farm. Love, Matt, Kelly, Mattiejo, Kinley and Jaden.

FAMILY

2009-08-11T06:51:00.000-07:00

I just wanna say me and kelly and the kids are proud to have a great family from both sides, we had a great time at moms on Friday is was great to see the whole family, i wish marty and tina could have been there but thats okay i understand the circumstances we had some laughs, and catched up it has been awhile i feel bad we don't get together more often if anybody needs to talk about things don't wait and hold it in or hold a grudge anybody can call me i can be there for you we are very loving we don't blame or get mad maybe one day we can plan on a day were we can get together and have reunion and have great time. LOVE, THE CARRILLOS5

We had pulled pork sandwiches salad, and a whole bunch of other food plus we had cake and ice cream for kinleys 4th birthday, and opened presents we watched Thanksgiving points fireworks from her sisters house o forgot to mention we also drove the blazer as a family i hope all of you had a great 4th love, the CARRILLO'S 5

Halloween Time

2008-10-30T09:40:00.000-07:00

Well Matt usual keeps the blog up to date but I guess today I am going to take a turn at it. Matthew was home for the last twelve days. It was so nice to have him here for son long. Of course it was sure hard to let him go back to work today. The house sure seems lonely without him around. Well enough sappy stuff. Yesterday we all carved pumpkins for Halloween tomorrow. Matthew carved a Jolly Roger and free hand face. I carved 3 wolves howling at the moon. We also found a kit for the kids to use to decorate their pumpkins. It was so much fun to watch as they put the faces on their pumpkins. They enjoyed that so much more than carving the pumpkins. Matt and I just love this time of year. We love to decorate for each Holiday that is coming up and enjoy the time we spend with our family. We go around looking at scary houses at halloween time and for bright lighted houses at Christmas. We love this time of year.

Puppies

2008-07-23T16:26:00.000-07:00

Matt and I went and picked up two puppies last night. We are going to either keep them or find them a new home. I think that maybe I should start an animal rescue facility or something. I can't stand to have animals taken to the pound or just killed. That is why we have Mater. I figure if the puppies do well we may just keep them. If not, then we will keep them until a new suitable home can be found for them. At least now they are going to be taken care of and have a home. They are really cute heeler puppies. We have named one of them Blazer, and the other Jimmy.
