Benjamin - Product Review

You might remember awhile ago, I did a "beary cute" post with Benjamin in a brown diaper cover and cute little diaper ear hat. You can see it here: http://melissaau.blogspot.com/2009/05/beary-cute.html .

I got this item from a very talented lady on etsy. By the way. I love etsy. I may soon get quite addicted to etsy because there are many talented people on there. If you haven't tried it, you should!

I ordered this item from a lady on etsy so I could take some pictures of Benjamin. I must say, it looked very cute on him. The lady then asked if she could send me another set to get my opinion on some changes she wanted to make. How could I refuse? She sent me this adorable Panda set. I must say, I approve!! She is so talented! They looked adorable on him. Not only does she sell these cute bear sets, but many other adorable sets! If you want to check them out you can see them here:

Enjoy the pictures. I just discovered that my camera can take black and white pictures so I was playing around with different styles.

This has got to be the coolest 4th of July cake.

My sister Emily made this for the fourth of July. The coolest cake ever. I give her 1st prize.

Poor Robbie!

Robbie took a fall while at summer camp yesterday. Poor kid left camp crying and I didn't believe that anything was wrong besides a big bump. I took him home to wait until Rob got home from work. Rob felt that we needed to take him to the hospital and sure enough, it was broken. The admitted him last night and kept him overnight. They originally planned surgery to put pins to hold it together but luckily decided that was not needed. He was a very brave boy! I wish that I could have been with him at the hospital more but he was very happy to have his daddy there with him.

Happy Birthday Grandma and Grandpa!

I just wanted to wish Grandma and Grandpa Rogers Happy Birthday this week! We miss you guys and hope that we can see you soon. I love you!!! Happy Birthday Grandpa!! And Happy Birthday Grandma on Saturday! Hope your birthdays are wonderful. We just wanted to let you know that we are thinking about you and that we love you.

Lauren

I love this pictures. These pictures are sooo Lauren! She was singing and dancing in the backyard and completely enjoying herself. She was unaware of mom at the door with a camera so I took the chance to get some true Lauren pictures. I absolutely love how she sings and dances just about everywhere she goes. She doesn't care who is watching she just loves to do it.

Happy Fourth of July Weekend!

Happy Fourth of July Weekend! We had a great weekend. Packed full of gardening, picnicing, bbq's , projects, bubbles, fireworks, more gardening and more projects.... :)









I didn't like the plants that were at the house. We ripped them out this weekend and Judy did a beautiful job planting flowers and a gardenia plant.


There was a plant called baby Lauren. Of course, we had to buy it!


Robbie and Lauren planted carrots, tomatoes, watermelon and corn in our garden box in the backyard!
Taking a break!








We put up all kind of beautiful lights on our trees!




Rob and his dad built a fence to keep the dogs in the backyard. BEFORE
