Hug It Out Continues

This punishment just never gets old.....and neither does this video. I even came up with a little dance to go along with it. But neither one of them would agree to do it, much less on camera.

Over the River and Through the Woods....

.....to Grandma's house we go!

Last weekend we headed to Luke's parents' house for the night. They had snow earlier in the week so there was just enough residual for the boys to enjoy. Luckily I was able to pick up some snow gear at Target before they moved the swimsuits in this week. (Its crazy)

Chew on This....

WHo knew a 4 month old could chew Bubbalicious!
Actually---I don't know what she's chewing on....something one of the boys tossed on her playmay maybe. :)
Little Petunia is almost 4 months and she rolled over for the first time today. No...I don't know if this is considered "late" but I could care less. I have enjoyed carrying her around everywhere I go too much to care! I knew that I should try to put her down to "play" at least once or twice a day....so today I was working on Tubbs homework with him so I put her down on her tummy for some "tummy time." I go check on her about 2 minutes later and she's on her back. I mumbled to myself, "What the heck?!" ---and did a double take. I immediately knew today was the day and went to grab the camera...of course.
Warning: this video contains "baby talk."

What a Blessing...

This last weekend was very special for our family. My parents, two younger brothers and their family from Roseville made the 320 miles trek on Saturday to stay the night with us. Saturday evening we ate, laughed, watched football....and ate some more. I was sad to see them leave Sunday afternoon after Sacrament!

I stressed a little deciding what to Petunia in for the occasion. An infant doesn't have to wear anything in particular but since my boys wore white I decided I should stick to it. I found this two piece sweater outfit with a matching beanie online at "Dressed in White.com" and I LOVED it. It was also cheaper than most of the gowns that just seemed too long or fluffy.

Thank you to all who came to witness the Blessing and to friends and family who participated in this ordinance. We love you!

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
