EVACUATION!

I am pretty sure everyone heard of the Oak Hills wild fire. Oak Hills is a super small rural town that we call home. I was at work when the fire started.  I tried to get home so I can help Silvio but the roads were completely blocked. My mom lives right down the street so she packed my nieces and sent them off with Sunshine. Then my mom went over to my house & threw our animal herd in the back of her pick up. I could see the fire from MILES away. I could only imagine what my family was feeling!

Silvio snapped a few pictures before the evacuation. It was earlier in the fire but still so huge and still so close. Here are a few from our front yard.....

We all met up at Amy's. We watched the news footage of our land burning. I knew it was VERY possible for our house & our neighbors houses to catch on fire! We are very close with our neighbors and Amy Martinez; State Farm insures MANY of us. I hope that if anybody is put in a situation like this, they can feel as confident in their policies as we felt in ours. So with our house in the best possible insurance hands and with us all safe together, we were good!

And if you know us Caldera's; we definitely make the best of any situation. We played outside with our munchkins and dogs. Then we went out for frozen yogurt. Of course the girls needed a bath after yogurt! So they took their first bath all 3 together! These girls are so beautiful, they gave me TONS of precious pictures. Here are a few favorites.

 They seriously ADORE each other! You can tell by the way their faces light up when they see each other. And they see each other A LOT!

 Annali is so cute and soooo full of life!

  Audrielle and her stunning eyes <3

And then some family time :)

These 3 act like they have been together since the beginning of time .....

Well it was time for us to go home....There were cops and fire men EVERYWHERE! We were not yet allowed to come into Oak Hills so we had to dodge the road blocks. Despite the hot spots, we felt it was safe to return home. Here is an after shot. This is what it looked like when we got home.

Roads are open now. Our house stinks like smoke but nothing a scentsy can't handle ;)
