Happy, Happy Birthday Bubba Dear


Happy Birthday to my big Bubba!
Its lucky number seven!!
Big from the beginning he was 23 1/2 inches long and weighed 9 lbs 9 oz.
Now my "little" whipper snapper is over 4 foot 2 inches and wears size 5 shoes!
Bubba---we love you, we love you, we love you, we love you!
We cannot imagine our lives without you as part of our family and I can still remember seeing and holding you for the first time. We didn't know if you were a boy or a girl and when the doctor pulled you out Luke whispered to me, "Its a boy!" I thought for sure you were a girl, but you are ALL boy!

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Bubba!

Cute boy! And he definitely is a big boy too since he looks a lot older than he was in many of those pictures, especially the Oldie.

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.
