THE TERRIBLE TRABUCO FIRES!!!

Here's a sample of what our area looked like this past week! Our hearts go out to those that lost their homes and loved ones...
We saw the smoke begin on Sunday at about 6:30pm. And it just took off from there!
The Santa Ana winds were so bad this week it set our fires into motion. The winds would change and the direction of the fires would too.
They closed down the road and evacuated Trabuco Canyon. We pass this on our way to Luke, Shera and Noel's school, Robinson Elementary. The schools closed last Thursday, Friday and Monday. Everyone stayed inside - needless to say - we all got cabin fever!
We could see the fires from almost every room of our house. From the front we saw the Irvine/Trabuco Canyon Fire and from the back, the Camp Pendleton fire!
You can see the fire right up by the power lines. Some people lost electricity and street lights went out. Scary...
A friend of ours sent us this photo taken from Lake Mission Viejo. It looks like the whole sky was on fire.
The sun was so orange for several days - it was beautiful but bittersweet to see too.

The news crews were here by the Oso Reservoir just below our ward building.


The helicopters would fill buckets of water and carry them over to the flames. Every 5 minutes or so there were from 3-5 that would come back and refill. A lot of people came to watch the fires from our church - it was wild there! Thank you fire fighters for all you do!!!

Sumertime Fun!

Hi everyone! Well, summer is over and we wanted to share a few fun photos of what we did! First of all, an update on Sasha. She has fully recovered from her coyote attack and she is sweet and sassy again!

Shera had a great time at horseback riding camp! She went with her friend, Sloane Werner. They had a show at the end of the week to demonstrate their skills!


Luke's first time fishing!

Us girls went to Las Vegas for a few days this summer and took in a few shows, saw the wild animals and walked "The Strip"!



Mom and I headed up to San Fransisco for a few days and went shopping and eating and shopping and eating!


We went to the river with the Margetts Family and had a blast! The weather was hot, about 115 degrees. But it still felt great on the water!


Lukey went knee boarding and only fell off once! Unfortunately, after that he decided to only go once!


Drew wanted to play "Lord of the Flies" on Arizona Beach! He's a Wild One!!!



Happy 10th Birthday Sasha!!!
Yeah!!! She made it!!!


Hope you all had a great summer too!!!
