Photo Find!

I came across this picture the other day of my brothers Marty and Matt along with Kathy, John's wife. It is priceless. I wonder what they were talking about? Laughing about? Probably trucks. Pretty sure that was it.

I just love pictures.

Saying Goodbye to another Family Member

Nazario was such a fun person. His life was cut too short. I miss his jokes and his teasing.  I have not seen anyone in his family for a very long time.  It would have been his birthday on November 15. I can't belive he has been gone for almost 15 years.

Last week we lost his adopted daughter Callie Rae. She used to stay over night and she and Tammy would have a good time. I was sorry to hear that she died alone and had lost a loved one. I do not know the circumstances of her death, but my heart goes out to Patsy and Michael.  I do hope that she is with her dad now and is free from her pain. We never know how long we have on this earth, so we need to always be there for each other. I feel bad that I had not been in their lives for some time. I know the pain of an unexpected death. May their family find some comfort at this sad time.

1994 More Carrillo Chronicles

1994
From Tammy

Well my friend Pauline and I won the "most Original" prize for Halloween Costumes. She was Cousin "It" and I was Morticia.  Michael and Jake even took more than allowed out of people's candy dishes while they weren't looking.

 Jake likes the new toy he found at "Pa's" house. Now he can
 ride a 4-wheeler just like his Dad does.

1994
Matt is Crazy About Fixing Old Cars
In fact that's all he talks about. I hope that he can fix up Dad's old car. (And now 16 years later, he has!!!)

The Carrillo Chronicles

I don't know if anyone remembers, but from 1992-1995, the Carrillo's had a newsletter called :
THE CARRILLO CHRONICLES. 

I found them while I was cleaning out my photo albums and other items.  These chronicles have a goldmine of history in them.  Some of you may still have yours as I think Jennifer made copies for everyone. She, Tina and I were the ones who created them from information given to us from other family members.

Right now I will would like to enter just a few excerpts from them.  I hope to do this from time to time. If anyone cannot find theirs, feel free to come look through these.

From 1995
Jay vs the Bees

Jay just got back from California. He delivered some honey bees to Cohwchilla to pollinatee some almond trees. He had some hitch hiker bees that is--they are still hanging around his truck even though the bees are in California, He was only stung three times and no police or highway patrol men stopped him. I wonder why?

From 1994
Rob gets robbed
Robert got his bike seat and bike post stolen off his bicycle while it was parked at his work down town. When we first lived here he had a whole bike stolen. We have decided to get some insurance.

From 1995
Cherokee the Tease

Cherokee is a tease! She is finally growing out of the terrible twos. She likes to pretend she's the leading man from the Disney shows. John Smith is her favorite at the time. Cherokee likes braids in hair just like Pocahontas!

This is just a sample of what is in the chronicles. I hope to add a lot more soon.  enjoy!

John

I have been a little lax in profiling my family as I have planned to do. I would now like to profile John.  He was born August 10, 1967.

John is my oldest boy. He is a treasure. He is truly unique. Because he is different, he was picked on a lot at school. But he kept up his spirits and uplifted many others. When he was two years old, he wandered off and was gone for a while and scared us half to death. Another time I could not find him, he was asleep under a bunch of blankets on the floor.  He loves lights and tulips and electronic devices. When we took our Christmas tree down one year, he cried. He wanted the lights to shine all year. He used to change the lights on the tree over and over and we ended up having to nail the Christmas tree to the floor to keep it from tipping over because he was always rearranging things.

John is dependable. If he says he will do something, he will and will go the extra mile.  His memory is his outstanding asset. Especially dates. If you are trying to remember a date of something even as far back as 30 years ago, John is the one to ask. He may be a little OCD but because he is, you can bet that you will never have to worry about things when you are away from home and he is caring for the place.  He does not do well with stress though. It is best that he keep himself free from it as best as he can. John loves to eat and you don't have to worry if you can't eat all your food because John will take care of that.

John works in the grocery business and has for over 10 years. All the people he has worked for say he is the best worker they ever had. Even customers have sent letters of appreciation to him and his manager.

John has accomplished a lot in his life. An LDS mission, putting up with bullies, Jr College and his marriage to Kathy Jones. He is a wonderful son, a good and trustworthy boy and I love him very much.
