Smart Boy!

It was Bubba's turn to say his prayers tonight before bed. As he kneeled down beside his bed, this is what the little rascal said:
"Dear Gracious Heavenly Father;
(I love it when he uses an adjective at the beginning! Ha-Ha)
Please bless Santa to know who I am.
Please keep him safe.
Please help Santa to get a good night's rest.
Please bless Santa.
Please bless Santa's toys.
Please help Santa to bring me what I want.
Please bless my mommy and daddy and baby brother.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."
Now...I don't know about you---but I was torn between laughing and asking him if he was serious and making him start over. I decided to do neither, said Amen and kissed him good night.
Hey--you gotta do what works to make sure Santa comes right?!
A boys gotta do what a boys gotta do!

That is way too funny...if only we could remember our mind as a child...they are so very interesting.

Maybe you should have Bubba go down to the mall. I was amazed to see Santa already there.

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.
