Hello sad blog....

 Dear blog, 

I'm so sorry that I've neglected you. In today's day and age, I'm much too busy on Instagram and Facebook and I feel like most people know everything from there. But alas, I miss you. Maybe we can be friends again? 😊 

So, Harrison has turned 5 (and now is almost 6!) and will be starting Kindergarten in just two weeks. Where has time gone? My baby is growing up. 

Harrison had some dental work done this morning to fix a cavity (got a second silver cap) and as you can see above, he wasn't feeling well. It's hard work being a dirty little boy. 😉 love him so big! 

This Week

After the birthday whirlwind of last week, in true Rogers' fashion, someone had to get sick. Harrison was the lucky winner. He started with a little cold over the weekend and by Wednesday we had to take him to the dr for an ear infection. Poor baby. 

So, not a lot happening this week at home (school is another story that I will post on later). I did however find that Ava has taken my phone and I found some awesome selfies with her Kit doll. Funny girl! 

A Rogers' Family Weekend

The weekend before last weekend, otherwise known as the first weekend of August ;), Aunt Bethany and Liam came for a visit and we spent most of the weekend at Nana and Pop's. We had a wonderful time, but we were exhausted by Sunday night and I know Nana and Pop were too. :)

Ava in the corner. She hated that I was taking this picture.

Pop preparing our supper. They always feed us well. 

Daddy helping in the kitchen. 

This has been making me sad, because Ava has always liked school. She is frustrated that recess for 3rd graders is shorter than recess for 2nd graders. She feels slighted.

 And then all of the kiddos had a blast in the sprinklers.

Nana and Pop's cat, Bella. 

What to Do Before School Starts Back

These photos are from the last couple of weeks before school started. We tried to cram in as much fun as we could. :) This doesn't contain our Discovery Park pictures which I will post later.

Scout just wishing he could run free.

During a rather boring three day (!!!!!) inservice, I always looked forward to seeing what my Sobe Lifewater lid would say. 

Nothing better than running in the freshly mown grass.

The results of running in that grass.....

Mean you have to have a bath.

Headed out for girls back to school shopping in Jackson. First stop, Joanne's of course.

Ladies' lunch at Olive Garden.

Loving her Ever After High book so much that she can't stop even when we grocery shop. 

To celebrate National Hot Dog day, Scouter got his own wiener.

A trip to the Farmers' Market

Picking their own blackberry container. 

Sweet boy

Headed to celebrate National Hot Dog Day at the library.

A genius marketing plan. I love looking for names. 

This made my cup runneth over. 

A sleepover at Nana and Pop's

He walks in and immediately dumps his toys in the floor. Classic Harrison. 

Digging for names while out shopping for school supplies. 

Finding her school supply list. 

Lisa Frank is the color of my childhood also. :) Makes my heart happy to see this.
