We didn't start the fire!!!

"This entry is made by my mommy because I was at home with Gramma so I wouldn't be smelling the smoke. It's bad for me."-Little Christian
The day started out like any other Sunday Morning, me with the kids, Christian at some car related event, he had left at the usual time 5:00am. So happy I was when I realized it was 8:30am and the kids were still sleeping. I thought what a wonderful day this is going to be, boy was I wrong. I looked out the window and what do I see... SMOKE!! I call Christian to tell him I even send him a picture on the phone and my loving ever so caring husband says "Oh, shit for real? Guess what? I found a model for my car." Stunned silence I couldn't believe him, so I hung up. So there I am home alone with the kids and no car. I call my mom's house and the kids are home alone, Great! So there I go running down the smoke filled streets with the kids in the stroller. They closed down Walnut Canyon and only residents could come in.
This is the sky right above my mom's house.
The fire came up on Everette right next to Alfredo and Anthony's uncle Ramon's house. Which Alfredo was there front of the line fighting the fire that came within feet of Ramon's house. The helicopter had to come in and help this is a shot of how close the helicopter came to the house.
At the same time a fire started up on Ace hill that fire came
within feet of those houses. Which are right behind my mom's house.

Then Christian finally got there and he saw an owl. So he took a picture. There he is on a tree in my mom's yard, for some reason the guys were very amazed.
As the fire's grew more out of control the fire and rescue teams kept on coming.
Then I had to go home where my mom was with the kids because there was less smoke. Or so I thought. This is the corner of Moorpark and High street.
Then the corner of First, Moorpark and Poindexter. Usually from this corner you could see our house but the smoke was so thick that our house is nowhere in sight.
Then to the right was Poindexter, The cars were moving along slowly because the smoke was like a very thick smelly fog. You can't even see Chaparral.


On a happier note, while we went on our thrilling fire chase we saw this awesome christmas decorated house, I thought it was the cutest thing ever! Also on sunday we found out that Little Christian does not like Mint. He is a chocoholic he will eat any kind of chocolate and all chocolate if I would let him but not mint & chocolate.

Later on in the night The fires were still going, and this one broke out in the hills to the right of the 118 fwy heading to Somis. Christian Thought it would be cool to go check out the fires, of course the cops thought it was a dumb idea and told us to get out of the way. So this was our very eventful sunday. Oh yeah and we made national news!
