You know its Fall in Bakersfield when...

1) The Kern County Fair is here!! yay...we went to the rodeo this evening and saw some awesome cowboying!! Also, everybody knows what you're talking about when you say you had some basque, turkey legs, funnel cake and a corn dog. "oh you were at the fair" everybody, and i do mean everybody in town goes to the fair!!

2) Football Mania...high school, junior college, college, NFL..it doesn't matter..we watch it all...especially Bakersfield College, Fresno State and USC!!! Also, we went to my old high schools Homecoming game Friday night...it was pretty fun..we stomped all over Shafter and I got to see some old teachers and friends that I haven't seen in many years!!

3) It's still almost 100 degrees every day yet everyone comments on how its so much cooler already...ummm people the temperature really hasn't changed..it's all in your head!! Ok..maybe its cooler at night...maybe....

San Diego Weekend

Codys roommate Andrew works at Adventure Water Sports and he was nice enough to let us take out a jet ski!! It was a 3 seater and soooo fast, it went up to 50 mph!! Cody enjoyed making us fly off the back as often as possible, we only were able to dump him off once!!

Cody, Andrew, & Anya

Me before we took the jet ski out into the bay

Sea world is just on the other side of the bay, we went right by it while we were out on the jet ski!! Plus there were so many fish that kept jumping out of the water while we were riding by, made me wonder what else was under there....eek!!

Cody had to work Saturday so Anya and I dropped him off and then headed to La Jolla shores to be beach bums for the day!! This is the only picture I took while we were there...for some reason I was lazy that day...ha ha ha. But the little boy in the seat was soooo relaxed we just had to take a picture but I got my camera out to late to get the front view of him.

Codys apartment is right on campus at San Diego State and parking is at a premium there so we had to walk quite a ways to where we parked our car, not that we minded walking on such a beautiful day!! This is Cody in all his official Point Loma Naval Base Lifeguard official gear...lol...

Awwww...love my sibs..

This weekend I celebrated my first Saturday off since my trip to Seattle by taking a little drive down south to visit my brother. Anya and I took off Friday night after work and drove to San Diego. Poor Loren had to work, so it was just the three of us for the weekend. Cody just moved into a new apartment with his best friend Andrew and they were the perfect hosts. Lol..its a little disconcerting to an older sister when your little brother is giving you a coaster for your drink so you don't damage the coffee table!! its good to know we've trained him well...we'll see how long it lasts!!

September Already???

I dont know where the time has gone, summer has flown by and here it is fall already. School starts for me on the 15th. It should be interesting. I feel like a professional student by now, i'm on to my 4th university. The school here wants me to go to orientation...by now, after all these years, I really don't need to attend an orientation..I have the whole school thing down, but thanks anyway..ha ha ha. Other than looking forward to school starting we haven't been up to much other than work. Lorens wrist is healing well...I forget he broke it because he's doing so well, no cast or anything these days, just a nice 4 inch scar down his arm. We pretty much vegged out Labor Day weekend by the pool, niiiiccceee!! Oh, and I planted some flowers on Monday because it was a gorgeous 80 degrees outside, I even got a little chilly in the shade. You know its been hot when 80 feels cold people!! Hope everyone is doing well!!
