To be sure you really have them try wearing white socks and walk around where you think they might be. Another method is fill a bowl with warm water (with a bit of dishsoap) and aim a light at it. The fleas will be attracted to the light and jump up and land in the soapy water where you will see the brown/black specks floating.
To treat the house consider the flea bomb foggers but be sure to keep everyone outdoors while it does it's job. You might have to do a followup a week or 2 later.
Thank you for all your help.It's great to have the input I have received.
Tractor Supply sells a product called Tempo. It kills fleas, spiders, ants, etc and doesn't harm pets. I found out about it when I was having my house professionally sprayed and noticed he was mixing this up to spray my house. It works better than anything I've ever seen.
Thanks to everyone for their great information and personal tips they gave me for the flea problem.I'm already on my way to success!
