From Grandma Buzz:
The Bears are going to live with their mom and dad in their new home very soon. I wanted to do something extra special for them before they left. I decided they have probably never had junk food. I’m the grandma, so I seized the chance. They were so darling in the convenience store and each made a very careful decision.
Churton chose cheese curls. He thought they were delicious!

And he learned they could be put to educational use too.

Bocker was worried about what his mom was going to say if she found out he was having candy. He chose something with fruit in its name because that sounded nutritious. He was delighted when a visiting ballerina appeared on our porch. He came back into the kitchen and asked for a nice dish so he could serve her properly.

Beaker selected cupcakes. Or I should say luckily selected cupcakes. Turns out it was the ballerina’s birthday! All joined in on a rousing chorus of "Happy Birthday."

Then, when the bears cut the cupcake open, they were enchanted. Bocker said, "Grammie, there’s icing inside."

They had no clue such wonders existed. It’s a good thing the world has grandmothers!

SO cute! And quite hilarious.
Lol! Bad bears rebelling..I hope they’ll be on a strict lettuce-only diet when they come back to live with you
You’re spoiling those bears like a proper grandma, Kath! Well done.
They sound like my kids! Junk food is such a mystery! They get it from time to time…but regret eating it afterwards!
That’s incredibly cute! I’m sure the bears will thoroughly enjoy their new home… and the occasional treat
That was so adorable and cute! Got to love grandmas
Oops, I misread — they are living with grandma right now. And SHE wrote this post and is feeding them junk food. Oh dear . . . this is just too much!
Oh the joys of being a grandmother.
My mother looks forward to loading our future kids up on cinnamon sugar bread and sending them home. Thanks mom!
omg this is the most precious thing I have ever seen! Awesome Grandma and naughty bears!!!
oh sweet sweet bears
i would give them cake and cheese curls too 
This is the cutest thing! I love the bear posts!
Hahaha! Totally brightened my day! Hooray for Cheetos and fruity snacks at Grandma’s
I don’t get it. What’s with the teddy bears?
You need to read more carefully!
wow…
@kath i read carefully and i dont get it. sorry…i wanna get it though:)))
Kath has explained the history of the bears before (in a previous post). However, I don’t see it linked in this post which would be helpful if someone is a new reader. I am not sure how a more careful reading would provide further background to either Samantha Angela or Andrea.
Maybe these readers could go back and actually find and read the previous posts where the bears have been explained!! They have been featured and explained many times.
How would a new reader know that?
Kath, maybe you could make a Bears tag or a favorite posts section (I know you link back to receipes) so new readers can catch up quickly. If this has already been done, I apologize
My comment was directed at Samantha only!!!
New readers just have to ask nicely and I’ll explain
But then you would have less things to act snotty about, CJ ! Not everyone reads this blog all the time.
Oh please – you people are just too lazy to actually go find the posts in the archives!
wow!
Okay, guys. Just cool down for a second… I do believe that Samantha has been a reader for some time (I think…) so Kath was just telling her to read a bit more carefully. And to new readers: Don’t be afraid to ask Kath what’s going on! Once you get it, it’s incredibly cute.
Um, these are three teddy bears. They stay with Kath’s mom and call her “Grandma”. I do believe this post was written by Kath’s mom, was it not? Correct me if I’m wrong, Kath
Wei-Wei
Sorry, I didn’t mean to incite a debate, or be rude. I was just wondering what the bears were all about.
I’m pretty sure that is one of the cutest posts I have ever seen. Love the bears!
And Cheetos. Shhhhhh.
That is what Grandmas are for: to spoil the grandkids rotten! Bocker is such a mama’s boy picking something with fruit in it!
OMG.. Thank you for posting this. Just what I needed to see today to cheer me up!
I LOVE IT! So cute! Watch out sending your kids to Grandma’s when you have them! They’ll return sticky and sugared up. LOL, that’s what Grandmas are for, when kids have an awesome mommy though! <3
So so cute! Your mom is too funny!
Grandma has just made my day. Thank you Grandma – you are the cutest!
haha too funny! I think my mom spoiled me more than my gma though.
Oh my gosh, that’s hilarious!! SO CUTE! Did you write the captions or did “grammie”?
Either way… precious!
Grammie writes the posts!
Haha, I think grandma wants some real little KERFlings!!
omg how cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grandmas do spoil and give kids yummy treats that they dont get alot of at home! So cute!!!!!
oh grandma buzz you made my day..made me laugh..kath you have such a great mom.
Now Kath, please remember about Grandmas and Grandpas having the right to spoil their grandbears (and grandchildren some day). Grandparents have earned that right! And children love it. You can detox them when they come home.
Yikes! Looks like grandma corrupted the poor little bears. Hope they’re back to real food soon
Grandmas are the BEST!
Your mom is the best! I almost want the bears to stay with her so that we keep getting these updates! The last photo is my favorite!
I won’t even imagine how the future Kerf’s nibblets will be spoiled with such an amazing grandma
I have a ballerina frog at my parent’s house! Your mom is so sweet.
Omigosh, cutest. bear. post. ever.
your mom is going to be a fantastic grandma!!
HAHA! The bear posts make me giggle so much. And I think KERF spelled out in Cheetos is one of the most ironic things I’ve ever seen.
Hehe, I love the Hostess cupcake…those used to be one of my (and my dad’s) favorite treats!
Ohmagoodness, that is hilarious. Luvs it!
That is so adorable!!! My grandmother would feed us Dr Pepper, chips and Pace Picante Sauce, and Honey Buns.
I love it
Nothing like being spoiled by grandma. Send those bears home.
when the grandkids come they are going to be so lucky to have a grandma like that!
Too cute!
This is adorable. And I heart Cheetos too, good choice!
This is so adorable!!! Nothing like some good old fashioned playing with toys. Keeps us young!
Maria
Teehee, my grandmother taught me the wonders of Lil Debbie’s oatmeal pies and frozen buffalo wings.
So clever, Grandma Buzz! This is my favorite bear story yet!
That’s what grandmas are for right?! Spoiling:)
I can hardly stand how much I love these posts by your mom.
bahaha oh these post crack me up!! Keep em coming grandma Buzz!
I can sorta relate to the whole bear thing. Not that my husband and I have voices or names for our stuffed animals or anything…
HA HA…Grama’s are great! My mom feed my daughter CAKE for breakfast stating it had milk and eggs in the cake so it was a good balanced breakfast!
Go Your Mom!
What’s your mom gonna do when you have human children?!?! She is going to go nuts!!
That was one of the most hilariously awesome blog posts I’ve ever read!
That was too cute! What a great post for the afternoon (and a nice treat as a break from work for me!)
Grandmas ROCK! The question is….is there a sister in the near future for the boys?
Mama KERF, you are adorable!!!!
I’m with Churton – Cheeto’s rock! But most certainly do not qualify as “real food.” This is adorable, thanks for the laugh!
the bears are back! i cannot tell you how much i LOVE these bears-at-grandma’s installments! so cute and cracks me up. this was the perfect start to my day! =)
All I can say is
Your mom is the best! She will be a wonderful grandma!
Hahaha!!! My MIL and mom try to convince me its ok that my child eats copious amounts of fruit snacks at their house since they are “fruit” after all! LOL I love when the bears make apperances!
Haha! I used to be like Bocker, anything with the word “fruit” in it must be good for you.
Love the bear posts! I bet you can’t wait for them to see the new home.
haha you are too funny with the bears!
These bear updates have been my favorite part of your blog lately! Your mom needs to create a series of children’s books based on the bears visiting their grandma’s!
You can tell your mom is a writer! I know she’s written a number of children’s books–is she working on a new one?
Teddy bear photos plus captions that told a story would actually make a great kids’ picture book…Churton et al would become stars!
Best Grammie Ever! My grandma Nonnie used to give us Pepperidge Farm Milanos and Brussels when we came to visit, man do I miss those times with my grandma. Before I forget, happy birthday to the visiting ballerina.
looks like Tami & I had the same thought at the same instant!
Haha, funny! I was a big fan (and still am, secretly) of the ho-hos…or are they ding dongs?
seriously too cute. It’s so evident your mom is a writer, I can really feel the emotion of the little bears!
Such an ADORABLE post! Kudos to your mom for her creativity (she’s even a good photographer!).
Your mom is an amazing writer!
Cutest blog post EVER!!!
So funny! I loved this post! And yes, grandma’s really do this… my kids and their grandma are living proof!
Absolutely hilarious!!!!!!!
I love the bear posts! One of our bears is actually named Cheeto, so this really made me smile. I showed this to my BF to prove that we aren’t the only ones with a bear family. Your mom’s photos have such personality. Thanks for sharing.
That is hilarious, your mom is so creative and a good story teller.
How funny! Those bears are getting spoiled!
Does your mom and the bears get any cuter?!
Those bears are quite spoiled
What a great mom to do that for you. That’s sweet. I love moms.
I LOVE these bear stories. So adorable and creative!
They’re going to be bouncing off the walls when they get to your house!
I want Grandma Buzz to be my grandma! Those are three very lucky and loved bears.
I love the bear updates! This made my afternoon! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
That gave me a good laugh today! The photos were simply “unbearably” cute.
WARNING! Grandmas do this with actual, real children. My three come back from time at Granny’s house in a state of EXTREME hyperactivity from all the treats (junk) they get there. That said, it sounds like KERF mom would be a wonderful grandma. If you have children one day you can organize a real-life teddy bears’ picnic with the gang. So cute.
i want some of those cheetos!!!
So cute, I can say being a grandma is the best role I’ve ever had. Your mom is going to be a great one….
Oh my goodness, this is TOO cute!!
Haha grandmothers are always the best! Some of my best memories have my nanny in them and the crazy food she let us eat!
These posts always make me smile!
Hehe, yes my two year old can attest that grandma’s always have the best junk food! Thanks for the smile!
Love that they spelt out KERF with the Cheetos!!
hilarious! I love it
bahaha you’re adorable! those bears aer livin the dream!
Looks like the bears had an amazing time with all that junk food!! They better enjoy it before going home and having to eat Real Food again!
I love bear stories!!!
Great story about the bears…I should show it to my niece. She likes visual things and things that are whimsical.
I was entertained
hehe awww this is too adorable!!!
That is histerical!!!! I love it!
I think Grandma Buzz needs to write some more children’s books to use her creative side when the bears come back home to live.
looooooooooooooooooove it!! did grandma eat the leftovers?!
Yep. The bears have small appetites.
I LOVE YOUR MOM!
OMG that’s so frickin cute. I chuckled all throughout that post!
This was the cutest post ever! Made my day!
Haha it looks like she’s spoiling them, just like grandma’s always do.
The last picture cracks me up! I literally laughed out loud and people stared. Very Awkward.
Too cute!! I love the bears’ adventures! My grandma used to spoil us with Drumsticks and Push-Up Pops.
Hehehehe this is so cute! I wish my grandparents still spoiled me like that!
omg, that is the cutest thing ever! All the bears AND my favorite foods…..
That’s so adorable! I love that your whole family is into this bear thing. Whatever would they have done had you stayed in your “I’ll never own a bear” mindset?!
hahhahahhaha….. you makes me laugh!!!
Your mom is so awesome! I think the bears and Grandma should have their own blog.
Wei-Wei
I still stand by my idea that you should create a children’s book (or several!) filled with the adventures of your bears.
OMG, too cute! I love “story” posts like this!
I hope this isn’t too newbie of me to ask… I know your mom is a children’s book author and I love her bear posts so much I want to read her books. Does she reveal her name so we can look her up on Amazon?
Her name is Barbara Younger
Most of her books have been Sunday School related, but you will probably find a few others in the mix 
love it!
This is adorable! I love the bear stories, because the creativity is so fun…and the captions on the pictures suit the scenes so well. Wonderful!!! =)
I had that same frog growing up!!! Ahhh the memories
