Its 5AM.........

I am awake. I woke up cause my husband was down stairs banging dishes around before going to work. Plus I am hot because its already 85 here. Anyway I look out the window and see 2 fires. So they are a ways away but still this is the first time I have actually seen the fires from my house. I don't really like to be able to SEE the fires. The wind has just been going crazy and its been SO hot. Why do I live here again? So I can't imgaine being a firefighter. Most of them away from home, and then when they are off they sleep in tents where yep still a million degrees. They just don't get a relief from the heat! So thank you firefighters I know its not easy.
Anyway hopefully the winds die down and my house doesn't burn while we are gone this weekend. And hopefully I can go back to sleep cause its going to be a long day.

Does anyone have

any CLEAN AIR FOR ME?? I'm so tired of this smoke! Its been almost a month now. And the fires are just getting worse. The wind picked up this week and plus its been oh 115. WAY TO HOT!! I need to move to Alaska. Anyway we are going to Oregon this weekend for the family reunion, so hopefully the air is a little bit cleaner!
Camillas model pose

I couldn't resist......

Ok so I just had to buy Camilla a bikini. Ian says no way. I said well now is when we want her to wear a bikini not when she's 14. So anyway we took her to a little playground/waterpark the other day. It didn't really start until 1, but there was a little bit of water coming out. So anyway she had fun and stared at all the other kids!



And we put her in the swing and she LOVED it!!

Some favorite pictures......

Smokey

There are 10 fires going on around us! It is so smokey and ash is falling. Its pretty crazy, its actually making me nervous. Even though I live right in the middle of town. But at least its not really windy. But it is hot 95+ during the day. blahh poor firefighters.

Fire Season

Well our fire season is definatly here. We are completely smoked in. We really have fires all around us. Lots of thick smoke, you can smell it and see it. I can't remember really ever seeing smoke like this here. We had crazy lightening and thunder storms on Saturday. So now we have lots of fires. In Trinity County alone, (Where I grew up, a hour from me now) there were 3000 lightening strikes recorded on Saturday. So its kinda scary. Poor people being evacuated. I remember growing up we were evacuated once. The fire chief came running up our steps, and our dog bear almost bit him. It was SO scary and just the unknown was hard. So hopefully the winds will die down and GOOD LUCK to the fire fighters. I am impressed and thankful for your willingness to fight fires..

Darn paparazzi

This just cracks me up because it reminds me of some pictures I've seen of celebrities not wanting to get their picture taken and so they put their hand or something in front of the camera! This is my brothers daughter Lila, if you can't tell!
