Our Brush Fire

Hey everyone. You may have heard and seen on TV a brush fire on our street. No one was injured! No homes were burned. GOD IS GOOD! It was started by two 14 year olds who were supposedly smoking pot. It burned the wash right behind many homes on the west side. A tree caught fire in a backyard of the neighbor right behind us but that was put out quickly. The other side (east side) was a big hill. All of that caught fire as well. Dad and I (Tabitha) were not home yet when it was reported. We were almost not able to get home. Dad had his fire captain ID on him and told the sheriffs that our house was on the street. They were pretty nice and let us through. I have never seen so many animals and people in our house at one time! H O L Y C O W!!!!!! Mom was a good samaritan. She let many dogs, cats, AND EVEN TWO SNAKES in the house. I have never seen Tristini cry so hard! Poor girl! So much panic! I amazingly did not cry! Just trying to keep all the little ones in the house calm! Mom really did good. Anyone who really knows my mom knows how much she despises most animals... let alone pee on the carpet! Dogs peeing and pooping in the house... ON THE CARPET! Mystery, vicious dogs. People just dropping off kids and pets! COMPLETE MAYHEM!!!!!! Mom did really well. Especially when some people got mad at her when she VERY POLITELY asked them to watch their dogs and pick up their dog's poop. Well, about two hours later, the fire was out and people started to calm down. Special thanks to Aunt Debbie and Darrick and the Kaiser Family for being so willing to help out when we weren't home when it started! You guys are the best! Also thank you to all the firefighters who saved our homes! YOU GUYS ROCK! Just to name a few, Randy Zimmerman (Station 73s), 108's, 156's, and everyone else!

Prayers

We are all praying for daddy. He was burned in an explosion while at a structure fire on July 13. He is okay, God had His hand on dad. However, he does have a 3rd degree burn on his right hand and thumb as well as 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his left ear. Thank you everyone who has been praying.
