peach days 2013

i have to say that after spending an afternoon at the county fair and an afternoon and evening at peach days, peach days takes the cake.  now if only they had the demolition derby, then it would be above and beyond the fair... no.  but really.

and then there was labor day.  we did nothing.  but that's okay.

personality

this young lady has so much personality, she made it really easy to catch some cute shots of her.  she's a beauty!  and she's only 15!

trip for the 4th

independence day has always been one of my favorite holidays.  i was thrown a little off this time around because i was overly emotional.  i was able to get out of town - which was great and got to spend time with my sister and her little family which made it all pretty fun.  my sister and i got on our best 4th outfits (bandanas and all!) and hit the town.  kind of.  something about my sister and her friends is that they are all so hospitable.  we spend the 4th day at a bbq at her and her husband's friends house and they were just the nicest people.  even though i was down in the dumps - lame, i know - their friends were so welcoming and jorel had a great time, too.  we also hit up the fireworks just a block away from my sister's later that night.  we went to the l.a zoo while we were there.  jorel was actually into it this time so that was pretty fun.  we also hit up the griffith park train - one both stephen and jorel enjoyed a lot!  my sister is the greatest and she has the best husband and kid ever.  :)  thanks sissy for being the coolest!

everything but t-ball

t-ball is now over.  some days he loved it.  others not so much. but now that it's over, he wants to play again!  he was able to be on a team with one of his/our friends.  he ended up on joey's team who is one of my good friends from softball and his son is the same age as jorel so they got to play together! it was comical at times.  definitely entertaining.  it was really hard to pick the best pictures... this is really only a small amount from his 9 games... eek, i just became one of THOSE parents! haha
