Fires everywhere!

It is literally on fire everywhere here! I'm so nervous that any minute now they're going to call for evacuations in our neighborhood! All of San Diego county is ablaze and they've evacuated over five hundred thousand people! The air is sooty and stinky and my eyes are just burning! We need lots and lots of prayers here! I've volunteered to open up our home to evacuees, but I don't know how long we'll be able to stay. The closest fire is only 10 miles from here with evacuations 5 miles away. They are preparing people on Camp Pendleton to evacuate, but I don't know if that will include the hospital or not. The entire county has cancelled school for the rest of the week!

I took some pictures, but I'm not sure if you can really see what I was trying to show. There is a layer of soot over everything outside and it's even smokey indoors. The smell is just awful.

Here you can kind of see it, but these are my footprints in the soot on the sidewalk in our backyard and the next picture is of the sky outside at 12:30 pm..






I would've tried to get a better picture looking east of our house, but I couldn't stand being outside any longer. My lungs were starting to burn a little. I came inside and now REEK of smoke.

I'm trying not to worry, so I'll share some cute pictures from the last week.


Nothing like a good bubble bath to get the boys in a goofy mood!



James and the boys went to their happiest place on Earth on Friday! They had SO much fun and Charlie was tall enough for the Matterhorn! He's probably told me 75 times since they got home about how he was big enough and opened his eyes the whole time. "It was scary mom! There was a snow bear! He's just a toy, though.

Annabelle just looked SOSOOOOOOOOOOO cute on Sunday - I'm loving dressing her up all the time. I've become quite good at making little "bows" for her hair and cute little headbands. Poor little "baldy-locks" I call her ;)




These are my two little guys playing "Jungle Book" They're both Mogley - hence the underwear and YES Charlie peed all over himself a couple of times, but he was adamant that he not wear a diaper underneath, so I was adamant that he stay outside! I'm sure you understand! Anyway, it was really cute b/c they were singing the "Bear Necessities" song and looking for wild berries and pretending to eat grass and bugs. Charlie actually ate a mouthful of grass before he figured out that Dillon just was pretending. He gagged like crazy and James and I were cracking up! He's such a funny kid.



Well, I gotta go watch the news and freak out some more, so I'll sign off. PRAY FOR EVERYONE HERE!!
